The Natural Resources Conservation Service has leadership for the federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1994. Soil names and descrip- tions were approved in 1997. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1994. This survey was made cooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. It is part of the technical assistance furnished to the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe and the Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation District. Partial funding for this survey was provided through grants obtained by the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe. 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.
