Spot points are isolated areas within a symbol that are designated with a symbol because the extent is too small to separate into another mapping unit. These points or symbols include areas such as sinkholes, springs, stony areas, wet spots, etc.</p><p><b>Purpose: </b>As a subset of the soils information, the spot points layer should be used in conjunction with the other soils layers. Spot points show specific areas that require special interpretation and/or land use which differs from the surrounding map unit.</p><p><b>Supplemental Information: </b>Data are stored in the corporate ArcSDE Geodatabase as a point feature class.
