Soil and ground
NRCS rates 3 of 5 sampled points very limited for septic absorption fields and 2 somewhat limited. Mapped soils in the area are Madison at 3 points and Enon at 2, well drained over clay, on slopes up to 40 percent. The limits named are slow water movement and slope. Cane Creek is about 1.5 miles away. This is generalized soil survey data, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and each needs a site evaluation.

The 2020 Census counted 191 housing units in Carlisle. In 2020-2024 ACS estimates the median home dates to about 1977, and about 58 percent were built before 1980. Owner share, mobile-home share and housing mix have margins too wide to quote. A small town with few households means every tank matters to someone, so keep a record of dates.

Cane Creek is the nearest named stream, about 1.5 miles from the centre, with Salinas Pond about 1.4 miles away. No flood zone is mapped within 0.3 mile. If water pools over a drain field after rain, call us, wherever the creek is.
