From 1965 to 1972, the State Cooperative Soil-Vegetation Staff surveyed and mapped more than 580,000 acres of land in

Soil-Vegetation Maps & Descriptions
In order to find the soils on or closest to your property you will need to know which township and range your parcel is located in. That information may be found using the Calaveras County Property Information Access system found at http://www.co.calaveras.ca.us/parcelsearch.asp
The Soil-Vegetation Handbook has detailed information describing how the soil is classified with a legend to the various symbols used. Soil-Vegetation Handbook Note: The handbook file is over 3 megabites so you may need a high speed Internet connection to view it.
