Slope

Water Table

Water Table is the depth to to the first layer where the soil moisture status is wet.

Dwell with Basement Limits

Soil characteristics, such as high water table, steep slopes that might impact the constructions of dwellings with a basement.

Small Comm Bldg Limits

Small commercial buildings are those buildings that are less than three stories tall without basements. 

Hydrologic Soils Groups

Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential from precipitation.

Hydric Soils

A hydric soil is formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding for long periods of time.

Prime Farm Lands

This map identifies the location and extent of the most suitable land for producing food, feed, fiber, forage, and oilseed crops. 

Drainage Class

This map refers to the frequency and duration of wet periods under conditions similar to those under which the soil formed. 

Septic Tank Absorption

Soil characteristics, such as high water table and permeability, that might impact the installation and function of a septic tank.  Only that part of the soil between depths of 24 and 72 inches is evaluated.
