State Soils

A state soil is represented by a soil series that has special significance to a particular state. Each state in the United States has selected a state soil, sixteen of which have been legislatively established. These "Official State Soils" share the same level of distinction as official state flowers and birds. Also, representative soils have been selected for Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
