Try the Henderson County
Online GIS. If it is your first time, read the directions
first. In order to view the soil data you must first zoom into the area
of interest. With magnify selected, click on a point or click-and-drag over an
area. Then select on the soil layer box on the right and then click the
"Redraw Map" button (if you zoom in far enough, you can also select
aerial photos or topographic maps to view with the soil layer). The soil types
are given as abbreviations on the display. You can use the identify tool button to see the soil
names and link to the soil descriptions in the Henderson County
Soil Survey. If you
have Arcview you can download the soil
data.
