Soil Survey

The Montana Soils Team is part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, an effort of Federal and State agencies, universities, and professional societies to deliver scientifically based soil information. This site hosts two staffs: the state soil survey staff provides soil survey products and technical assistance to local agency and conservation district field offices as well as landowners in the state of Montana. The Northern Rocky Mountain Major Land Resource Area Office Region 4 (MO-4) provides quality assurance and technical guidance to a five-state area.
