1969 Plymouth County Soil Survey Map Unit Legend

And Correlation's to the Updated Soil Survey Map Units

NOTE: This legend is for converting the soil map units in the 1969 Soil Survey of Plymouth County, Massachusetts to the updated soil map units currently being mapped in Plymouth County. The updated map unit links (right column) may NOT match the soil series name found in the 1969 report. In order to provide map unit information online for the old mapping, I have made conversions based on our field mapping correlation for units we are no longer mapping in Plymouth County. For example, Map Unit AfA on the 1969 legend is an Agawam soil, we no longer map Agawam soil for the Plymouth County Update, so the link will take you to a description of Merrimac soils which are closely related to Agawam soil. Contact the soil survey office to determine if updated mapping is available, this legend should be used only if updated mapping is not available.
