iii iiiiiiiiiiiuiii <br />999 <br />t <br />Doc Date:1211112001 <br />20b-Sky lick loam, 10 to 29 percent <br />es. This deep well drained <br />soil is on concave portions of upland sideslopes. It formed in alluvium <br />and colluvium derived from fine-grained sandstone. Slopes are plane <br />to slightly concave. Areas are irregular in shape aad are 5 to 26 <br />acres in size. The vegetation is mainly scattered hardwoods, shrubs, <br />forbs and grasses. Elevation ranges from 7075 to 7650 feet. The <br />average annual precipitation is about 15 to 16 inches and the mean <br />annual air temperature is about 41°F. <br />Typically the surface layer is very dark grayish brown and dark <br /> <br />grayish brown loam about 19 inches thick. The subsoil is dark yellowish <br />brown sandy clay loam about 12 inches thick. The substratuum is <br />yellowish brown sandy clay loam extending to a depth of greater than <br />60 inches. <br />Included in mapping are about 10 percent Cochetopa and about 10 <br />percent Rhone soils. <br />Permeability of this soil is moderate as is available water <br />capacity. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches. Runoff is medium <br />and hazard of erosion by wind is slight and by water is slight to <br />moderate. <br />This soil is used for grazing, wildlife habitat and watershed. <br />The soils of this map unit provide a good source of topsoil to <br /> <br />as average depth of 31 .inches. Clayey textures and firm moist <br />consistences in subsurface horizons are the main limiting factors. <br />Below this depth the soil texture becomes too clayey to be acceptable <br />as topdressing medium. <br />2-283 <br />
