Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at all 5 sampled points, with 2 of them in urban land complexes. On the NRCS scale the area rates somewhat limited for septic absorption fields, with slow water movement as the reason. Slopes are 4 to 8 percent and elevation is about 858 feet. Jimmies Creek runs 0.3 mile away. This is generalized survey data for the area, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
