Soil Survey of the State of Connecticut

Connecticut's modern soil survey, unifying the separate eight county soil legends to a single statewide legend, incorporating current soil taxonomy and standards, addressing land use changes and urbanization, and compiled onto a planimetric orthophoto base. The soils were mapped at a scale of 1:12000, with a minimum size delineation of approximately 3 acres.
