Web Soil Survey (WSS) provides soil data
and information produced by the National Cooperative Soil
Survey. It is operated by the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) and provides access to the largest
natural resource information system in the world. NRCS has
soil maps and data available online for more than 95 percent
of the nation’s counties and anticipates having 100 percent in
the near future. The site is updated and maintained online as
the single authoritative source of soil survey information.

Soil surveys can
be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning.
Onsite investigation is needed in some cases, such as soil quality
assessments and certain conservation and
engineering applications. For more detailed information,
contact your local USDA
Service Center or your NRCS
State Soil Scientist. |
