Map Unit Description <br />The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas.ln the survey area The map unit <br />descriptions in this report, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. <br />A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas A map unit is identified <br />and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. -Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties <br />of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena;'and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, <br />the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the lirr[ts.defified'for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic Gass rarely, if <br />ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic cusses. Consequently, every map unit Is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas <br />for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxoriorrric classes other than those of the major soils. <br />The Map Unit Description (Brief, Generated) report displays a generated description of the major soils that occur Ina map unit. Descriptions of non -sol- <br />(miscellaneous areas) and minor map unit components are notTrictuded. This description is generated from the underlying soil attribute data <br />Additional information about the map units described in this report is available In other Soil Data Mart reports, which give properties of the soils and the <br />timkations, capabilities, and potentials for many uses. Also, the narratives that accompany the Soil Data Mart reports denne some of the properties <br />Included In the map unit descriptions, <br />UU QA Natural Resources Survey Area Version: 13 <br />- CO1ElSerVatjOII Service Survey Area Version Dale 02/23/2010 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
