Map Unit Description

The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent thesoils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions in thisreport, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition andproperties of a unit.

A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or moremajor kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and namedaccording to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomicclass there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On thelandscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have thecharacteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of someobserved properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped withoutincluding areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is madeup of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minorcomponents that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.

Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in themap unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are callednoncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in aparticular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have propertiesand behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require differentmanagement. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. Theygenerally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of thescale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areasare identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for agiven area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unitdescriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minorcomponents may not have been observed, and consequently they are notmentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that itwas impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils andmiscellaneous areas on the landscape.

The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes theusefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineatepure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms orlandform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Thedelineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for thedevelopment of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneousareas.

An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soilproperties and qualities.

Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. All the soils ofa series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, andarrangement. Soils of a given series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope,stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use.On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most ofthe areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name ofa soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. Forexample, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.

Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.

A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricatepattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similarin all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.

An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils ormiscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of presentor anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not consideredpractical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. Thepattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhatsimilar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.

An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areasthat could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similarinterpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportionof the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area canbe made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be madeup of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.

Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soilmaterial and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Additional information about the map units described in this report is available inother soil reports, which give properties of the soils and the limitations, capabilities,and potentials for many uses. Also, the narratives that accompany the soil reportsdefine some of the properties included in the map unit descriptions.
