The original map was originally included as Plate X in the thesis "The Soils of Missouri" by Henry H. Krusekopf. The map is an enhanced version of "Base map of Missouri" which was published in 1914 by the Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines. The map appears to be hand colored. This enhanced version shows the distribution of soils in Missouri. The base map also shows railroads, cities over 5,000, and county seats.
Damaged part of map reads "Compiled in Cooperation with the United States Geological Survey. This map is based on Land Office plats adjusted to surveys of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, Mississippi River Commission, Missouri River Commission, and United States Geological Survey."
Original map measures 104 x 119 cm.
