To view the soil maps, go to the Index to Map Sheets (JPG format OR PDF format) and find the area on the index that corresponds to the area you wish to view. The maps are 8.5x11 images or PDFs. If you do wish to print a map, you will probably want to set your printer to its highest print quality. The Index to Map Units provides the key to the soil symbols. The maps in PDF format require Acrobat Reader (which can be downloaded for free) (you may need Adobe Acrobat Reader 6 or later for it to work properly) to view and print. The PDF versions of the maps are considerably easier to read than the JPG maps. If you do not have access to a printer, please make a note of which soil map number you need and come to the District office. If you have trouble finding the correct map sheet, you might try the new street index that lists the map sheets that each street is located in.

Glossary

The soil maps now use the 2002 digital ortho photo as the base and the parcel and road data is current as of Fall 2006.
**The soils maps are very large files and could take from 1-3 minutes to load depending on the speed of your internet connection.
