Many other soil series can be found in Arkansas, each with unique combinations of characteristics and potentials for utilization. Soil surveys contain maps of the soils, soil descriptions, and tables with limitations for management of the soils for uses such as agriculture, forestry, wildlife, and engineering. The county soil survey is a valuable tool for farmers, environmentalists, conservationists, engineers, city planners, real estate agents, and others who need to know the soils of an area.
