This soil layer is supplied and collected by the Ohio Cooperative Soil Survey and should be used for general farm, local, and regional planning. Onsite investigations are needed in some cases for certain conservation and engineering applications. The information represents the most dominant soil in the soil mapping unit or units that consist of one too many different soils. The Soils information provided is a snapshot (January 15, 2014) of the Natural Resources Conservation Services 2014 Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Data Base and and will be updated annually. The soil map unit polygons were digitized at a scale of 1:24000.The information provided through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources is of the Ohio extent and contains the most requested map unit information. The information was joined to the map unit feature class in an attempt to make the soil feature class easier to use for the majority of Ohio's users.
