No problem! I know I always appreciate when people take the time to post tips about how to use certain sites, especially when the sites themselves seem to lack any sort of instructions.

I learned quite a bit by looking up my location. I already knew what type of soil I have, more or less, but what I found very interesting is that my property sits very close to a pretty dramatic change in soil composition. For example, the data for my property states that the depth to the water table is more than 80 inches. The survey for the area starting in my front yard and running at an angle through my neighbor's property states that the depth to the water is 24-36 inches, with bedrock beyond that.

That, among other things, explains quite a bit about certain "quirks" our property has, but wasn't able to really understand until now.
