There is a lot you can learn from a soil map: slopes, building potential, relative depth to rock, and what areas are like yours for comparing soil qualities. I still think it’s funny that in an urban area like Jefferson County the soil scientists still tell you the farming and sewer drainage field potential…
And in case you were wondering, I live in:
