Soil Mapping
The soils data displayed on this website are SSURGO data from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For complete information about soils data consult the NRCS Web Soil Survey website and the USDA Geospatial Data Gateway website. The Web Soil Survey site allows users to generate soil survey reports and find additional information about soils. The Geospatial Data Gateway allows users to download tabular and spatial soils data. SSURGO soils metadata is available at the Geospatial Data Gateway and also at the following links:
