The USDA developed soil indicator fact sheets. These two page fact sheets provide a nice overview for several important soil properties, such as infiltration, water storage, and bulk density.
Cornell University has developed a manual for soil health and soil health assessment. The manual provides detailed discussion of several soil indicators, methods of analysis including sample collection, interpretation of results, and management strategies.
