This soil survey special report is a publication of the National Cooperative Soil
Survey, a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal
agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local
agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service has leadership for the Federal
part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information, maps, and descriptions in this
report will be incorporated into the soil survey of Kenedy and Kleberg Counties, Texas,
when it is completed. Because of ongoing mapping in those adjacent areas, the
information, maps, and descriptions in this report are also subject to change.

Cover: The foredune ridge of Daggerhill fine sand, 2 to 12 percent slopes, rarely flooded, stops the
migration of small dunes. This helps to build the foredune ridge higher. The foredune ridges protect
the island from storm surge during tropical storms. The view is to the northeast.
