<br /> <br />z <br />29b-Owen Creek Loam, 10 to 29 percent slopes. This deep well drained <br />soil occurs on low rounded ridges and sideslopes. It formed in <br />colluvium and alluvium derived from sandstone. Slopes are plane. <br />Areas are irregular in shape and are 2 to 16 acres in size. The <br />vegetation is mainly shrubs, fortis and grasses. Elevation ranges <br />from 7300 to 7500 feet. The average annual precipitation is about <br />14 to 15 inches and the mean annual air temperature is about 41°F. <br />Typically the surface layer is brown loam about 12 inches thick. <br />The subsoil is dark yellowish brown and yellowish brown clay loam <br />extending to a depth of greater than 60 inches. <br />Included in mapping are about 10 percent Cochetopa, about 5 percent <br />Rhone and about 5 percent Lymanson Taxadjunct soils. <br />Permeability of this Owen Creek soil is moderate to moderately <br />slow. Available water capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth <br />is greater than 60 inches. Runoff is medium and hazard of erosion <br />is slight by both water and wind. <br />This map unit is used for grazing and wildlife habitat. <br />The soils of this map unit provide a good to fair source of topsoil <br />to an average depth of 22 inches. Below this depth clayey <br />textures make the soils unacceptable as topdressing materials. <br />2-305 <br />
