www.soils.orgso soils surveys were designed to convey this spatial information. The heart of a soil survey is the soil map showing, by county, the spatial distribution and variability of soils on the landscape. How are soils mapped? Soil scientists prepare the maps in the field using pits, core samples, or trenches to examine the soils.
