Baltimore County  - The printed edition of the March 1976 Baltimore County Soil survey is available for review in our office.  Unfortunately, there remain very few copies of this historic document in print,  therefore we can not give them out. 

NRCS Soil Scientists are currently working on a digital copy of this document.

Baltimore City  - Because Baltimore County and Baltimore City are two separate entities, they both have their own soil survey.  We have several copies of the Baltimore City Survey available for review in our office. Because our supply is limited, we are unable to give these out.
