USDA Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey of St. Joseph County, Indiana (1977); the 2001 successor manuscript (IN141)
The printed soil survey of the county is now identified whole: the Soil Survey of St. Joseph County, Indiana, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, 1977, by Hezekiah Benton Jr. — held at page-image strength only in the carriers reached, the denial posture toward those carriers standing as earlier passes left it, and no text copy of it returned by any search. Its successor is documented: the 2001 manuscript survey (IN141), 690 pages, carried into the public record in a South Bend Common Council bill of 2013, with a 2004 citation of the same survey also in the record — the variance between the two dates unresolved and printed as found. The federal soil service is migrating its historical surveys to a public archive; the St. Joseph item was not isolated. What the gap asked — the general-soil-map association of the townsite itself — was not established: the general soil map's legend text was not reached in any executed carrier, and a partial enumeration of the county's associations from a university soil-data explorer's captions, being secondary and assigning nothing to the townsite, is not printed as the townsite's association. The settler stands sharpened: the 2001 survey's general soil map, or the historical survey's archived text when the migration reaches it.
