Soil science is so fascinating. This survey map of all the various US regional subtypes is obnoxious to use (define area of interest with the rectangle>switch to soil map tab>click subtype), but it’s critical for planning out any kind of landscape.
This website still has that 1999 vibe. And I love that.

It’s one of those things I can point to as a digital luddite and say “retvrn to tradition”. Does the job as well as a 2025 website, none of the bullshit from a 2025 website. It’s to geological surveys as the fediverse is to social media.
