The map unit descriptions„ abrg with the maps, can be used to determine the oongositial and properties of a unlit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents on area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or misoelanevus areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxa nomic classilicatim of the dominant soft- VMun a taxonomic class there are precisety defined flits for the properfies ofthe sods. On the landscape, however, the sods are nMurat phenomena. and ales have the d o variability of all natural phouvriena, Thus, ft range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of sods of a single taxonomic class rarely, if inner, can be mapped wi kvkA mg any of other taxonomic classes. C,onsequerdly. every map unit is made up Of the sow of rniscefleneous areas for which it is warned and some minor components that belong to taxonomic dames other than those of the major soils. Most minor sot1s have POPOhn similar to those of the dominant sod or sods in the map unity and thus they d0 not atfed use and marmgemrent. These one coded noncontrasting, or similar. components.
