Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit
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 and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils On the landscape,
however, the soils are natural phenomena. and they have the charactenstic variability
of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas
for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes
other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrastmg, or similar. components They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description Other minor components however, have properties
and behavioral charactenstics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally
are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used
Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified
by a special symbol on the maps If included in the database for a given area. the
contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with
some characteristics of each A few areas of minor components may not have been
