This survey is divided into two parts. The first part is this document, which includes an introduction, detailed descriptions of the map units, and taxonomic units, tables of information, references, a glossary, and appendices. The second part is a folder containing the detailed map sheets. To find information about your area of interest: • Locate the area on the Index to Map Sheets on the inside cover of this document and on the separate sheet included with the maps. Note the name of the map sheet and open up that map. • Locate your area of interest on the map sheet. Note the map unit symbols that are in that area. • Look up the symbols in the Index of Map Units, located at the beginning of this document. The symbols are listed alpha-numerically, followed by the number of the page where each map unit is described (Map Unit Descriptions). The Map Unit Descriptions give detailed information about the main soils in the specified area. For more information about the range of properties of a specific soil, look up the soil name listed alphabetically in the Taxonomic Unit Descriptions. See Table of Contents for other sections of this publication that may address your specific needs. The information on the map sheets is also available in a digital format from the Spatial Analysis Center, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 82190.
