_ , .... . <br />/~ 19¢Cascajo gravelly andy loam, 5 to 20 percent slopes. This <br />~~~.,deep, excessively drained soil is on .back slopes and shoulders of ' <br />~ '-,~ moderately dissected to highly dissected upland rides and <br />breaks. It forded in calcareous gravelly alluvium. Slopes are <br />dissected and concave. Areas are nearly linear in shape and are <br />20 to 1,000 acres in size. <br />$IO1 Typically, the surface is covered with 15 to 35 percent <br />gravel and cobbles. Typically, the surface layer is dark grayish <br />brown gravelly sandy loam 3 inches thick. T'he subsurface layer <br />is calcareous very gravelly loamy coarse sand 9 inches thick. <br />The underlying material to a depth of 60 inches is calcareous <br />very gravelly loamy coarse sand or coarse sand. <br />$I01 Included in this unit are small areas of soils on <br />~'~>'.backslopes, shoulders, and crests of upland ridges and breaks <br />that have fine grained sandstone or siltstone at a depth of 20 to <br />r' <br />40 inches; Rock outcrop on shoulders and crests of upland ridges <br />and breaks; Otero sandy loam nn the lower parts of the back slopes <br />and on upland ridges and breaks; Stoneham fine sandy loam on the <br />lower parts of the backslopes and on upland ridges and breaks. <br />Included areas make up about 15 to 35 percent of the total <br />acreage. <br />$I01 Permeability of this Cascajo soil is moderately rapid to a <br />depth of 3 inches and rapid below this depth. Available rater <br />capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or <br />more. Runoff i.s slow, and the hazard of water erosion is <br />~ moderate. The hazard of soil blowing is slight. <br />~' -'1'~ . <br />$I01 Most areas of this unit are used for rangeland.
