Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale. Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale. Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map measurements. Major Roads Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service Local Roads Web Soil Survey URL: Background Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) Aerial Photography Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of distance or area are required. This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as of the version date(s) listed below. Soil Survey Area: Macon County, North Carolina Survey Area Data: Version 20, Sep 12, 2022 Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales 1:50,000 or larger. Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Mar 30, 2021—Apr 4, 2021 The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were compiled and digitized probably differs from the background imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident. usoA Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 8/11/2023 Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 4 of 5 Farmland Classification —Macon County, North Carolina Macon County - Bridge 231 Farmland Classification Map unit symbol Map unit name Rating Acres in AOI Percent of AOI CuD Cullasaja-Tuckasegee Not prime farmland 1.4 75.7% complex, 15 to 30 percent slopes, stony EvF Evard-Cowee complex, Not prime farmland 0.2 9.3% 50 to 95 percent slopes, stony PwF Plott fine sandy loam, Not prime farmland 0.3 15.0% high precipitation, 50 to 95 percent slopes, sto ny Totals for Area of Interest 1.9 100.0% Description Farmland classification identifies map units as prime farmland, farmland of statewide importance, farmland of local importance, or unique farmland. It identifies the location and extent of the soils that are best suited to food, feed, fiber, forage, and oilseed crops. NRCS policy and procedures on prime and unique farmlands are published in the "Federal Register," Vol. 43, No. 21, January 31, 1978.
