Soil and septic suitability around Munford

The USDA has already rated this ground for exactly one use: a septic tank absorption field. Within 4 miles of Munford — 32,008 acres across 31 soil map units — it rates 38.7% of the land very limited for that use and 58.4% somewhat limited, and almost none with no limitation at all.

What the limitation actually is

A rating on its own tells you nothing you can act on. The reasons do, and around Munford the leading one is depth to saturated zone on 23.4% of the mapped area, followed by flooding on 16.9%. In full:

Limiting featureShare of areaWhat it means on site
Depth to saturated zone23.4%A seasonal water table sits too close to the surface
Flooding16.9%The site floods often enough to matter
Slope16.7%The ground is too steep for a conventional field
Slow water movement0.3%Water moves through the soil too slowly for a drain field to keep up

Shares overlap: most soils here are limited for more than one reason at once, so these do not sum to 97.1%.

The soils themselves

The named soils and land types that make up most of the ground around Munford. Memphis alone accounts for 70.1% of it.

“None in profile” means SSURGO records no bedrock or other restrictive layer within the depth it describes, not that none exists.

Area of interest: a 4-mile radius around the USGS Geographic Names centre point for Munford (GNIS 1295096, 35.4493, -89.8151), chosen because five of this state's communities are unincorporated and have no boundary to use, and because the lots that need a septic permit are in the ring around a town rather than inside it. Soil from USDA-NRCS Soil Data Access, SSURGO interpretation “ENG - Septic Tank Absorption Fields”, area-weighted by mapped acreage and by each component's share of its map unit. Survey areas: Shelby County, Tennessee (2025-08-29), Tipton County, Tennessee (2025-08-29). Retrieved 2026-09-09.

This is a survey, not a soil map for your lot. A permit needs a high-intensity map of the specific parcel, produced by a TDEC-approved soil consultant — see soil map vs perc test.
