to 70 percent and are primarily deep to very deep, well drained, and have
moderate to high available water capacities. Soil textures are highly variable
ranging from loams to very stony clays for surface soils and from loams to very
cobbly clays for subsurface soil horizons. Coarse fragment percentages increase
with depth. The mass movement potential is rated as moderate to high for most
of these map units, though low ratings are common for lesser slope angles.
Soils of canyon, mesa, ridge, mountain, and valley side slopes are highly variable
given the broad topographic range of this grouping. Parent materials include
interbedded sandstones, shales and mixed igneous rock types. Slopes range
from 5 to 90 percent. These soils are shallow to very deep, well drained, and
typically exhibit low to medium available water capacities. Surface textures range
from clay loams to extremely stony loams while subsurface textures range from
stoney sandy loams to very cobbly clays. The mass movement potential is low to
high given the broad slope range.
Deep to very deep, well drained soils with low and moderate available water
capacities typify mesa summits, ridges, benches and side slopes of the project
area. Interbedded limestones, shales, and basalts are the dominant parent
materials underlying slopes ranging primarily from 15 to 65 percent. Surface soil
textures range from sandy loams to gravelly loams while subsoil textures range
from sandy loams to very stoney clays and extremely cobbly sand loams. The
mass movement potential ranges from low to high depending, in part, on slope
percentage.
Soils of mountain slopes and benches are forming in residuum and colluvium
derived from sandstones, shales, and basalts. Igneous parent materials may
also be present in some cases. Slopes range from 5 to 65 percent. These soils
are deep to very deep, well drained, and exhibit medium available water
capacities. Surface textures are typically loams and clay loams while subsurface
textures range from loams to very stony clays. The mass movement potential is
typically low to medium.
Shallow to deep, well drained soils with low to high available water capacities
typify the uplands and associated mountain side slopes of the project area.
Sandstones, shales, and mixed alluvium are the dominant parent materials on
slopes ranging from 5 to 25 percent. Surface soil textures are loams and clay
loams while subsoil textures range from clay loams to channery loams. The
mass movement potential was not rated for these soils.
Soils overlying uplands, valley side slopes and alluvial valleys are forming in
sandstone materials, eolian deposits, and mixed alluvium. Slopes range from 6
to 65 percent. These soils are typically deep and well drained with high available
water capacities. Surface textures are loams while subsurface textures range
form channery clay loams to clays. The mass movement potential was not rated
for the soil portions of these map units
