Plymouth County Soil Survey Update (Extensive Revision) It’s Done!

Plymouth County Soil Survey Size: 425,000 acres MLRA’s: 149B & 144A Scale: 1:12,000 Minimum Size Delin. 1/2 acre 34,354 soil polygons 8,656 Special spot features

What’s the Difference 1969 Plymouth Scale 1:15,840 (MSD~2.5) Gloucester Soil acreage = 35,550 Field work Sb = Sanded muck / bog Urban areas unclassified 28 series recognized 106 mapunits 2010 Plymouth Scale 1:12,000 (MSD~0.5) Gloucester Soil Acres = 2,875 Field work Soil Series names on cranberry beds Urban areas classified as high as possible to series 6 New Soil Series, 9 Dropped, 52 series in all Georeferenced sites 231 mapunits

The Website Started 1996, one of the first soil survey webpages. Provided update data, farmland lists, series info, data, soil description database, geophysical info Over 2 million hits since inception – now nesoil.com

SIS Developed in 1998 with RC&D one of first GIS projects to provide soil interpretive data using the updated mapping. Hundreds of copies of the CD sent out.
