Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Paperback. In original tan printed wrappers, 96 pp., 4 black and white photographic plates, and very large folding color soil survey map of the Visalia area at rear. The map, based on U. S. Geological Survey topographic coverage, shows cultural details (individual buildings, roads, railroads, etc.) in addition to soil types and distribution within the region, necessary for delineating important and desirable agricultural areas. Descriptions and characteristics of soil classifications shown on the map are provided in the report together with information about principal and lesser crops grown at the time of the survey. An early edition and possibly the first soil survey of the Visalia area. Later soil surveys provide more maps and finer details but lack the visual appeal, simplicity, and historical content of this earlier large color map. *** Condition: Complete as issued.
