Abstract
Information is presented on the suitability of soils in Lincoln County, New Mexico for irrigation. The acreage, general location, and relative capability of the soils for use in irrigated agriculture are given. The general soil map based on a reconnaissance soils survey, provided the information necessary for the classification for irrigation. The data were organized and presented on the basis of soil associations shown on the general soil map and on the irrigation land classification map. Lincoln County has a total of about 3,109,800 acres, of which about 21 percent were considered suitable for irrigation. Information is provided on soil resources that can be used for preliminary planning for irrigated agriculture, forestry, range, urban, engineering, recreation, and wildlife uses. (Author)
