The USDA soil survey maps the ground in North Beach mostly as Keyport (54%), Dodon (23%) and Marr (21%), based on 25 points sampled across the area.
Of the sampled points, 6% fell on ground the survey maps as urban land, which it does not rate and 4% fell on water or submerged soils; those are left out of the percentages.
For local roads and streets, the survey rates Keyport, Dodon and Marr "somewhat limited", citing depth to saturated zone, frost action, low strength and shrink-swell.
Why it matters: the Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association says soil type and drainage should be checked before any driveway advice is given (brief).
