Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Appling at 3 sampled points, loamy sand on top, and Wilkes at 2 with bedrock mapped at 10 inches. NRCS rates 3 somewhat limited and 2 very limited for septic absorption fields, naming slow water movement, bedrock and slope. Millers Fork and the Bush River both run about 0.3 mile from the centre. This is generalized soil survey data, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and each needs a site evaluation.
