MAP INFORMATION
The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at 1:12,000.
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 more accuratecalculations 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 minor shiftingof map unit boundaries may be evident.

Description
This rating presents the taxonomic classification based on Soil Taxonomy.
The system of soil classification used by the National Cooperative Soil Survey hassix categories (Soil Survey Staff, 1999 and 2003). Beginning with the broadest,these categories are the order, suborder, great group, subgroup, family, and series.Classification is based on soil properties observed in the field or inferred from thoseobservations or from laboratory measurements. This table shows the classificationof the soils in the survey area. The categories are defined in the followingparagraphs.
ORDER. Twelve soil orders are recognized. The differences among orders reflectthe dominant soil-forming processes and the degree of soil formation. Each orderis identified by a word ending in sol. An example is Alfisols.
SUBORDER. Each order is divided into suborders primarily on the basis ofproperties that influence soil genesis and are important to plant growth or propertiesthat reflect the most important variables within the orders. The last syllable in thename of a suborder indicates the order. An example is Udalfs (Ud, meaning humid,plus alfs, from Alfisols).
GREAT GROUP. Each suborder is divided into great groups on the basis of closesimilarities in kind, arrangement, and degree of development of pedogenichorizons; soil moisture and temperature regimes; type of saturation; and basestatus. Each great group is identified by the name of a suborder and by a prefix thatindicates a property of the soil. An example is Hapludalfs (Hapl, meaning minimalhorizonation, plus udalfs, the suborder of the Alfisols that has a udic moistureregime).
SUBGROUP. Each great group has a typic subgroup. Other subgroups areintergrades or extragrades. The typic subgroup is the central concept of the greatgroup; it is not necessarily the most extensive. Intergrades are transitions to otherorders, suborders, or great groups. Extragrades have some properties that are notrepresentative of the great group but do not indicate transitions to any othertaxonomic class. Each subgroup is identified by one or more adjectives precedingthe name of the great group. The adjective Typic identifies the subgroup that typifiesthe great group. An example is Typic Hapludalfs.
FAMILY. Families are established within a subgroup on the basis of physical andchemical properties and other characteristics that affect management. Generally,the properties are those of horizons below plow depth where there is muchbiological activity. Among the properties and characteristics considered areparticle-size class, mineralogy class, cation-exchange activity class, soiltemperature regime, soil depth, and reaction class. A family name consists of thename of a subgroup preceded by terms that indicate soil properties. An example isfine-loamy, mixed, active, mesic Typic Hapludalfs.
SERIES. The series consists of soils within a family that have horizons similar incolor, texture, structure, reaction, consistence, mineral and chemical composition,and arrangement in the profile.
