size control section. Lotex soils have hue of SYR or redder. Spliten and Udelope soils receive
most of their moisture in the winter and eazly spring. Taylow soils have a xeric moisture regime.
Tuggle soils have a pazalithic contact above the lithic contact.
GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Splitro soils are on upland hillslopes, mountain slopes, structural
benches and ridges. Slope gradients range from 0 to 65 percent. These soils formed in medium
textured alluvium, residuum, and eolian materials derived dominantly from sandstone. In
Colorado some azeas are derived from basalt. Precipitation is 18 to 25 inches, with peak periods
of precipitation occumng in the spring and early summer. Mean annual temperature is 36 to 40
degrees F. Elevation is 6,500 to 9,200 feet. The frost-free season is 60 to 90 days.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These aze the Passcreek and Sawcreek soils.
Both of these soils aze moderately deep and occur on lowland hillslope positions and broad
summits.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained; slow to rapid runoff; moderate to rapid
permeability.
USE AND VEGETATION: These soils aze used principally as native pastureland or for
recreational purposes. Native vegetation is green needlegrass,Idaho fescue, and yarrow. May
have scattered ponderosa pine and quaking aspen.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Bighorn Mountain areas ofnorth-central Wyoming and
the western slope of Colorado. The series is of moderate extent.
