The Soil Type map shows the diverse underground makeup of the Netherlands, clay, peat, sand, and loam, each with its own characteristics and influence on water, plants, and land use. It gives a clear view of where different soil types dominate, revealing the foundation of everything that happens above ground. You’ll quickly see how soil shapes agriculture, construction, and even nature itself.
