Description

Examine eliminating gsmsoilmu_a_us.shp.

Can we call the soil data API directly with lat/lng and bypass this shapefile?

@paulschreiber I think it's going to be faster to have a local copy of the STATSGO vector geometries which are fairly static. Although converting to a different spatial format like PostGIS will likely speed it up.
