Typically the surface layer of the Fughes soil is very dark grayish brown clay
loam that grades to reddish brown light clay and is about 39 inches thick.
The substratum, to a depth of 60 inches, is light reddish brown clay loam.
In the Fughes soil the native vegetation consists mainly of oakbrush,
serviceberry, Arizona fescue, and western wheatgrass.
The Curecanti soil is deep and well drained. It formed in glacial outwash and
old landslide deposits.
Typically the surface layer of the Curecanti soil is dark grayish brown stony
loam about 13 inches thick. The subsoil is dark brown very gravelly or very
cobbly clay loam about 29 inches thick. The substratum, to a depth of 60
inches, is yellowish brown very stony loam.
In the Curecanti soil, permeability and available water capacity are moderate.
Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium to
rapid. The hazard of erosion from wind is slight and from water is moderate
to high.
On the Curecanti soil the native vegetation consists mainly of Gambel oak,
serviceberry, grasses, and scattered stands of aspen.
Most areas of this complex are used for grazing by livestock and wildlife and

wheatgrasses, bluegrasses, and needle grasses. As range condition
deteriorates, wheatgrasses and needlegrasses decrease, shrubs and woody
shrubs increase, and undesirable weeds and annual plants invade and
become more abundant.
The potential plant community on the Curecanti soil consists mainly of
Gambel oak, mountain brome, nodding brome, slender wheatgrass, and elk
sedge. As range condition deteriorates, mountain and nodding brome,
