Soil Surveys

Soil surveys are being completed and published on a continuing schedule. Please check the List of Published Soil Surveys to see if the soil survey that you are interested in is available. Some surveys are out of print; a library or university may have a reference copy.

Published soil surveys are available without a fee, to walk-in customers, at the NRCS office located in each county. Each local office has only the published soil survey for their area. See the Virginia NRCS Contacts web page to help locate the office nearest you.

Also available at these offices is information, on a site-specific basis, for areas that do not have a published soil survey.

Soil Maps

SSURGO data (digital soil maps) can be obtained from the Soil Data Mart.
