You know the actual contours would rarely, if ever, precisely follow the boundaries shown on the map, jumping abruptly from low conductivity at one point, to high conductivity just a few feet to the

It would be reasonable to assume that you are more likely to have a high conductivity soil condition inside such a designated area rather than in an area mapped as low conductivity but undepicted exc
