1928 Antrim County Soil Survey
In 1928 the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils of the U.S. Department of Agriculture published a Soil Survey of Antrim County, based on field work conducted in 1923. The field work was apparently conducted at about the same time as the Land Cover study performed by the Michigan Department of Conservation.
In addition to the general description and location of the various types of soils in Antrim County, the document provides a snapshot of agriculture in the County at the time of publication.
