Description

The report describes the cultural and physical features of the Cherry Point and Hines Creek areas, and the chemical, physical and morphological characteristics of the soil series. The soil map shows the location and extent of the different soil areas and indicates the main topographical features. The soil rating map distinguishes the better land from the poorer land and serves as a guide to future agricultural development. The appendices provide information on methods used in chemical and physical analyses, definitions of terms describing significant features of the mapped area and of the field classification, physical analyses that may be helpful in engineering studies, and a classification of the soils of the Cherry Point and Hines Creek area.
