The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at1:20,000.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.

Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can causemisunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soilline placement. The maps do not show the small areas ofcontrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailedscale.

Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for mapmeasurements.

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercatorprojection, which preserves direction and shape but distortsdistance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as theAlbers equal-area conic projection, should be used if moreaccurate calculations of distance or area are required.

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines werecompiled and digitized probably differs from the backgroundimagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minorshifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

Description

Land capability classification shows, in a general way, the suitability of soils formost kinds of field crops. Crops that require special management are excluded.The soils are grouped according to their limitations for field crops, the risk ofdamage if they are used for crops, and the way they respond to management.The criteria used in grouping the soils do not include major and generallyexpensive landforming that would change slope, depth, or other characteristics ofthe soils, nor do they include possible but unlikely major reclamation projects.Capability classification is not a substitute for interpretations that show suitabilityand limitations of groups of soils for rangeland, for woodland, or for engineeringpurposes.

In the capability system, soils are generally grouped at three levels-capabilityclass, subclass, and unit. Only class and subclass are included in this data set.

Capability subclasses are soil groups within one capability class. They aredesignated by adding a small letter, "e," "w," "s," or "c," to the class numeral, forexample, 2e. The letter "e" shows that the main hazard is the risk of erosionunless close-growing plant cover is maintained; "w" shows that water in or on thesoil interferes with plant growth or cultivation (in some soils the wetness can bepartly corrected by artificial drainage); "s" shows that the soil is limited mainlybecause it is shallow, droughty, or stony; and "c," used in only some parts of theUnited States, shows that the chief limitation is climate that is very cold or verydry.

In class 1 there are no subclasses because the soils of this class have fewlimitations. Class 5 contains only the subclasses indicated by "w," "s," or "c"because the soils in class 5 are subject to little or no erosion. They have otherlimitations that restrict their use to pasture, rangeland, forestland, or wildlifehabitat.
