About <br />40 percent of the area is Schamber soil, 30 percent Razor soil, and the <br />remaining 30 percent is soib of minor extent. <br />The Schamber soil is usually in a higher position in the landscape <br />than the Razor soil. The Schamber soil is deep and has gravelly loam <br />surface layers and very gravelly loam and very gravelly sand underlying <br />layers. The Razor soil has clay loam surface layers and heavy clay loam <br />or clay subsoils over shale at depths of 20 to 40 inches. It has a <br />high shrink-swell potential. <br />The minor soils in this area are the somewhat excessively drained <br />Chaseville soil and the well drained Reldt, Ria and Midway soils. <br />This soil are0. is used for grazing livestock, wildlife habitat, snd <br />military maneuvers and impact areas. It is also a source of gravel. <br />a~' <br />
