GroundShift Check: Soil Maps, With Their Limits

Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, no-account tool for contiguous-U.S. addresses that presents mapped soil properties, weekly county drought context, and inspection-preparation workflows.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-07 issue.

For: Homebuyers and homeowners checking mapped soil conditions
Worth noticing: Its depth view distinguishes rated layers from unrated intervals across the upper 100 cm; the illustration is explicitly not a measured soil profile.

Field notes

The workflow separates mapped soil properties, county drought context, and missing information rather than merging them into a single property judgment. Listed data sources are USDA soil surveys, the U.S. Drought Monitor, and the U.S. Census geocoder. The site also offers single-value LE interpretation and a way to enter multiple profile layers, distinguishing reported values from unrated intervals.
