The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at1:15,800.
Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can causemisunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soilline placement. The maps do not show the small areas ofcontrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailedscale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for mapmeasurements.
Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation ServiceWeb Soil Survey URL:Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercatorprojection, which preserves direction and shape but distortsdistance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as theAlbers equal-area conic projection, should be used if moreaccurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data asof the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Chautauqua County, New YorkSurvey Area Data: Version 14, Sep 23, 2016
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Data not available.
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines werecompiled and digitized probably differs from the backgroundimagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minorshifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

Description
Farmland classification identifies map units as prime farmland, farmland ofstatewide importance, farmland of local importance, or unique farmland. Itidentifies the location and extent of the soils that are best suited to food, feed,fiber, forage, and oilseed crops. NRCS policy and procedures on prime andunique farmlands are published in the "Federal Register," Vol. 43, No. 21,January 31, 1978.
