<br />The soil survey report contains detailed descriptions of <br />the soils. An example of such a description is included <br />in Exhibit I at the end of this report, which identifies <br />main features of the soil that are relevant to the classifi- <br />cation and interpretation of soils. An example of en- <br />gineering test data is shown in Exhibit 2, and an exam- <br />ple of other kinds of soil analysis data is shown in <br />Exhibit 3, both at the end of this report. <br /> <br /> <br />The soil scientist also records other features of the <br />landscape on the soil map. Exhibit 4 at the end of this <br />report shows some of the conventional soil photo map <br />symbols and definitions. The soil survey, in addition to <br />providing an inventory of the kinds of soils and their <br />distribution, also provides an inventory of other land- <br />scape features. Ideally, soil survey, topographic, and <br />geologic maps should be combined, because the type of <br />geologic materials and the land form influence to a large <br />degree the kind of soil. An example of soil ratings is <br />shown in Exhibit 5. <br /> <br />Figure 2. A general soil map at <br />a scale of 1/16" per mile. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 3.
