1962 Florida Agricultural Experiment Stations Soil Map of Florida

This is a 1962 Florida Agricultural Experiment Stations and U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service soil map of Florida. Fourteen different colors are used to differentiate between thirty-seven identified soil types. Each soil type colored is identified with its corresponding number. Each color represents a different general soil type, while the numbers identify specific soil types within each general category. This information is provided in a key in the lower left. Apart from geological data, major cities, state and federal highways, and other details are included. An inset map along the bottom border focused on the Florida Keys. A second inset situated in the upper right illustrates the six major land resource areas of Florida.
