Comparison, Soils
This map set compares the soil types in both counties and includes residences. Residents of both counties concentrated settlement
on the best soils in the broad middle plain.
The maps are derived from a D. H. Davison map of Franklin County, published in 1858, and a Jedediah Hotchkiss map of Augusta
County, published in 1870, and based on surveys completed "during the war." The map have been georeferenced at the Virginia
Center for Digital History, using ESRI Arc Info to produce a Geographic Information Systems map and database of households.
