This map is useful in planning the use and management of large areas. To find information about your area of interest, locate that area on the map, identify the name of the map unit in the area on the color-coded map legend, then refer to the section General Soil Map Units for a general description of the soils in your area. Detailed Soil Maps The detailed soil maps follow the general soil map. These maps can be useful in planning the use and management of small areas.

This soil survey is a publication of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies, state agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Soil Conservation Service has leadership for the federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1985. Soil names and descriptions were approved in 1985. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1985. This soil survey was made cooperatively by the Soil Conservation Service, South Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, and the South Carolina Land Resources Conservation Commission. It is part of the technical assistance furnished to the Dorchester Soil and Water Conservation District. Soil maps in this survey may be copied without permission. Enlargement of these maps, however, could cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping. If enlarged, maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a larger scale.

It contains predictions of soil behavior for selected land uses. The survey also highlights limitations and hazards inherent in the soil, improvements needed to overcome the limitations, and the impact of selected land uses on the environment. This soil survey is designed for many different users. Farmers, foresters, and agronomists can use it to evaluate the potential of the soil and the management needed for maximum food and fiber production. Planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers can use the survey to plan land use, select sites for construction, and identify spacial practices needed to insure proper performance. Conservationists, teache-rs, students, and specialists in recreation, wildlife management, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the survey to help them understand, protect, and enhance the environment. Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. These and many other soil properties that affect land use are described in this soil survey. Broad areas of soils are shown on the general soil map. The location of each soil is shown on the detailed soil maps. Each soil in the survey area is described. Information on specific uses is given for each soil. Help in using this publication and additional information are available at the local office of the Soil Conservation Service or the Cooperative Extension Service. Billy R.

Beginning mineral content, temperature regime, depth of the root with the broadest, these categories are the order, zone, consistence, moisture equivalent, slope, and suborder, great group, subgroup, family, and series. permanent cracks. A family name consists of the name Classification is based on soil properties observed in the of a subgroup preceded by terms that indicate soil field or inferred from those observations or on laboratory properties. An example is fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic measurements. Table IS shows the classification of the Typic Paleudults. soils in the survey area. The categories are defined in SERIES. The series consists of soils that have similar the following paragraphs. horizons in their profile. The horizons are similar in color, ORDER. Ten soil orders are recognized. The texture, structure, reaction, consistence, mineral and differences among orders reflect the dominant soil- chemical composition, and arrangement in the profile. forming processes and the degree of soil formation. There can be some variation in the texture of the surface Each order is identified by a word ending in sol. An layer or of the substratum within a series. An example is example is Ultisol. the Noboco series, which is a member of the fine-loamy, SUBORDER. Each order is divided into suborders, siliceous, thermic family of Typic Paleudults. primarily on the basis of properties that influence soil genesis and are important to plant growth or properties that reflect the most important variables within the Soil Series and Their Morphology orders. The last syllable in the name of a suborder In this section, each soil series recognized in the indicates the order. An example is Udult (Ud, meaning survey area is described. The descriptions are arranged humid, plus ult, from Ultisol). in alphabetic order. GREAT GROUP.
