Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at every sampled point, and 4 of the 5 sit in urban land complexes. NRCS gives the area its middle rating for septic absorption fields, somewhat limited, citing slow water movement. Mapped slope is 8 percent. Lawsons Fork Creek runs 0.1 mile from the town center, and FEMA maps a flood zone within 0.3 mile. These are generalized survey figures; individual lots differ, and only a site evaluation speaks to a specific property.
