I have used Arc's ArcTrace to turn soil polygons to vector.  Similar to
Stephen's comment below, there was alot of post-tracing work correcting
dangles, crossovers, and the like.  In fact, I had an intern do the same map
using ArcTrace + correcting and on-screen digitizing.  The latter was less
time consuming.

<snip>I've worked with MapScan enough to learn
that it isn't for the easily discouraged.  It is robust.  It wants to
contour every item in the scanned image, and the alphanumerics, and just
about every patch of pixels slightly different from the surrounding area.
It leaves a *lot* of work for the user once the vector layer is produced.
It **DOES** do the job though.
