United States In cooperation with Department of U.S. Forest Service and the Agriculture Mississippi Agricultural and Soil Survey of Forestry Experiment Natural Station Perry County, Resources Conservation Service Mississippi Interim Publication—January 1999 How To Use This Soil Survey This document provides text and tables that describe the soils in the survey area. A symbol is assigned to each soil. The symbol relates the text and tables to soil maps. The soil maps are available online from the Web Soil Survey (http://websoilsurvey. nrcs.usda.gov/). Select the area for which you would like a soil map using the Area of Interest tab. After defining your area of interest, click on the Soil Map tab to view or print a soil map. Note the map unit symbols on the soil map. Turn to the Contents in this document. The Contents lists the map units by symbol and name and shows the page where each map unit is described. It also shows which tables have data on specific land uses for each detailed soil map unit and lists other sections of this publication that may address your specific needs. 4 This soil survey is a publication of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1992. Soil names and descriptions were approved in 1997. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1992. This survey was made cooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station. The survey is part of the technical assistance furnished to the Perry County Soil and Water Conservation District. 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.
