Land Capability Classification
The land capability classification of map units in the survey area is shown in this table.
This classification shows, in a general way, the suitability of soils for most kinds of field
crops (United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, 1961).
Crops that require special management are excluded. The soils are grouped
according to their limitations for field crops, the risk of damage if they are used for
crops, and the way they respond to management. The criteria used in grouping the
soils do not include major and generally expensive landforming that would change
slope, depth, or other characteristics of the soils, nor do they include possible but
unlikely major reclamation projects. Capability classification is not a substitute for
