Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at every sampled point, and 3 of the 5 points fall in urban land complexes, rated by their Cecil share. NRCS calls that somewhat limited for septic absorption fields, for slow water movement. Elevation is about 883 feet, with slopes of 4 to 8 percent. This is generalized survey data for the area, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
