How to Use This Soil Survey
General Soil Map
The general soil map, which is the color map preceding the detailed soil maps, shows the survey area divided
into groups of associated soils called general soil map units. This map is useful in planning the use and
management of large areas.
To find information about your area of interest, locate that area on the map,
identify the name of the map unit in the area on the color-coded map
legend, then refer to the section General Soil Map Units for a
general description of the  soils in your area.Ko                             m
