Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at 3 of 5 sampled points and Hiwassee at 2, all well drained. NRCS rates every point somewhat limited for septic absorption fields, with slow water movement as the only limit listed. Mapped slope runs 4 to 8 percent. Big Creek is 0.2 mile off, with a FEMA flood zone within 0.3 mile. This is generalized survey data for the area, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
