About this layer
Soil samples show what a laboratory measured in soil collected near the surface. Look for clusters of higher readings and compare them with nearby slopes, creeks and rock types. A high reading is a clue in a soil sample, not a detected nugget.
What it is for
Use the legend to compare readings from similar samples. Look for clusters and compare them with slopes, drainage and geology.
Limits
Soil can move downslope or be transported. A reading describes the collected sample, not the amount of gold beneath the point.
