Soil Survey of America

The Soil Survey of America is a comprehensive assessment that maps and describes the different types of soils across the United States. Conducted by experts, it provides valuable information on soil properties, how lands can be used for agriculture, construction, or conservation, and guides land management decisions. These surveys help farmers, developers, and environmental planners understand soil health and suitability, promoting sustainable use of land resources. Essentially, it’s a detailed resource that helps us understand the land beneath our feet to make informed, responsible decisions.
