Data dictionary for Gridded National Soil Survey Geographic Database (gNATSGO). https://data.nal.usda.gov/node/23067
gNATSGO has a schema that is very similar to that of SSURGO and STATSGO2. A CSV version of the data dictionary is presented.

important and useful information such as a descriptive name, the data type,
allowed values, units, and text description.
