<br />MAP UNIT LEGEND <br /> <br />The Map Units are listed below in order of topsoil quality <br />with first-named unit being the best and the last-named unit <br />being unusable. The Map Unit symbols are retained as used in <br />the county by the USDA Soil Conservation Service in order to <br />avoid confusion in correlating with the adjoining maps developed <br />by the Service. <br />AW - Mixed Alluvium ... Fine, mixed, pachic mollic Cryofluvents <br />0-38 slopes <br />99 - Loamy (pachic, skeletal and lithic mixed) Cryoborolls complex <br />20-958 slopes <br />66 <br />XB <br />35 <br />10 <br />RL <br />Skylick looms and clay looms, 5-658 slopes <br />Splitro-Winevada looms and sandy looms, 6-408 slopes <br />Aaberg clay, 20-308 slopes <br />Binco clay, 15-608 slopes <br />Rockland, 5-658 slopes <br />The above alignment is based on the texture and thickness of the <br />topsoils without consideration of the presence of stones and shale. <br />Also, slope limitations above 408 slope were not considered here. <br />Soils 99, 66 and XS have limitations due to the presence of stones <br />or shallow depths to bedrock and will require careful manipulation <br />of machinery in stockpiling. Slopes over 408 will present problems <br />of machinery manipulation and necessitate cutting the entire allow- <br />able depth thus mixing in more stones or shales in the stockpile. <br />u <br />-11- <br />
