Catalog entry for a 1925 United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Survey of the Bergen Area, New Jersey, designated Series 1925, Number 32. This report represents a collaborative study by the USDA Bureau of Chemistry and Soils and the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Development, documenting agricultural soil characteristics within the specified region, circa 1925. The survey was conducted under the direction of L.L. Lee and J.F. Tine, representing the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Development, with supplementary contributions from R.L. Gillett of the USDA. The document provides information regarding soil composition, climate, and agricultural potential. Soil types within the Bergen area are described and classified, including Sassatras loamy coarse sand, Gloucester gravelly loam, Merrimac sandy loam, and Podunk loam. Twenty-six distinct soil types and nine phases, representing thirteen soil series, are mapped and analyzed. Prevailing climate conditions and their influence on agriculture are detailed, with attention given to hydrological features such as the Hackensack and Saddle River basins and their connection to the Delaware, Raritan, and Passaic drainage systems. The survey area encompasses the entirety of Bergen County, approximately three-fifths of Passaic and Union Counties, and portions of Morris and Middlesex Counties, located in northeastern New Jersey, bordering New York State.
