This map is made from NRCS SSURGO data table MUAGGATT, field AWS0100WTA.
Note that the lines show connectivity and flow even through lakes and estuaries. If you need to show a hydrologic network this is the map for you.
The soils are not cached map services, they are dynamically drawn for you from the cloud, projecting to you on the fly. They are therefore unlocked from tiled web mercator, drawing nicely to order any place in the USA. This also means it may take a few seconds to draw the first time as you pan around. Thanks for your patience, and be sure to let us know how well it works for you in the comments. Thanks!
