Local Soils Profile and Mapping (20 Points)

Utilizing the online USDA Web Soil Survey tool, identify the soil types, if available, for your neighborhood. Document any soil types that are present. If there are none, find a nearby area (forest preserve, etc) where you suspect there has been less human impact and find the soil type for that area. Why might an urbanized area such as Cook County be devoid of such records? Are there any other resources available to find such information?

The deliverable length for this assignment is 500 words (approximately 5 paragraphs).
