3 MAP INFORMATION Streams and Canals Transportation Rails Interstate Highways US Routes Major Roads Local Roads Background Aerial Photography The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at 1:20,000. Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map measurements. Source of Map: URL: Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) Maps from the 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: Ben Hill and Irwin Counties, Georgia Survey Area Data: Version 9, Sep 19, 2016 Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales 1:50,000 or larger. Date(s) aerial images were photographed: 17, 2011 Apr 23, 2010 Mar 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. Page 3 of 5

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 s are published in the "Federal Register," Vol. 43, No. 21, January 31, Rating Options Aggregation Method: No Aggregation Necessary Tie-break Rule: Lower Page 5 of 5
