What the ground in North Las Vegas is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in North Las Vegas for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 105 square miles. About 70% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", the survey records severe restrictions for a conventional drain field across most of that ground.

In North Las Vegas, the leading limit is depth to a cemented pan: a hard, nearly impermeable layer sits partway down the profile. Water and effluent pond above that pan instead of moving through the full soil column. The survey flags that limit on about 44% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Depth to cemented pan44.1%
• Flooding33.6%
• Slow water movement16.5%
• Depth to bedrock11.4%

This is survey data for mapped areas, not a substitute for a site evaluation on your own lot. Conditions on a single parcel can differ from the map.
