<br />Soil type descriptions.
<br />F7uvaquente, Nearly Level
<br />33-F7uvaquente, nearly level. This soil is on flood
<br />plains, low terraces, and bottom lands. The surface
<br />and underlying layers are extremely variable, range
<br />from sandy Loam to clay loam, and are commonly
<br />stratified with thin layers of sand or clay. In places
<br />the underlying material is sand and gravel. A water
<br />table is commonly at a depth of less than 12 inches at
<br />some time during spring and summer, and the soil is
<br />also flooded occasionally during spring and summer.
<br />Drainage is impractical or impossible because of a
<br />lack of suitable outlets.
<br />Runoff is slight. The hazard of erosion is slight,
<br />although there is some cutting on areas near stream
<br />channels in places.
<br />This soil is suited to pasture or native grasses. A
<br />few areas are used for hay. Capability unit Vw-1, dry-
<br />land; Wet Meadow range site; windbreak suitability
<br />group 5.
<br />64---Loveland clay loam, 0 to 1 percent elopes. This
<br />level soil is on low terraces and flood plains.
<br />Included with this soil in mapping are a few small
<br />areas of soils that are more sloping, small areas of
<br />soils in +ehich gravel is at a depth of 40 to 60 inches,
<br />and a fe+v small areas of soils that have a surface
<br />layer of loam. Also included are small areas of Poudre
<br />soils.
<br />Runoff is slo+v, and the hazard of water erosion is
<br />slight.
<br />if irrigated, this soil is suited to barle}• and pasture.
<br />If drained, it is suited to corn and, to a lesser extent,
<br />sugar beets. Under dryland management it is well
<br />suited to pastut•e and native grasses. Capability units
<br />IIlw-1, irrigated, and V+v-1, dryland; Wet Meadow
<br />range site; +vindbt•eak suitability' group 5.
<br />101-Stoneham loam, 1 to 3 percent elopes. This
<br />nearly level soil is on uplands, high terraces, and
<br />benches. This soil has the profile described as rep-
<br />resentative of the series.
<br />Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
<br />soils that are more sloping or less sloping. Also included
<br />are small areas of Fort Collins, Larimer, and Kim
<br />soils.
<br />Runoff is medium. and the hazards of wind and
<br />water erosion are moderate.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is suited to corn, sugar beets,
<br />beans, wheat, barley, and alfalfa. Under dryland
<br />management it is well suited to pasture or native
<br />grasses and, to a lesser extent, wheat and barley.
<br />Capability units IIe-1, irrigated, and IVe-3, dryland;
<br />Loamy Plains range site; windbreak suitability group
<br />1.
<br />103--Stoneham loam, 5 to 9 ereent elopes. This
<br />strongly sloping soil is on uplands and high terraces
<br />and benches, mainly near the edge. This soil has a pro-
<br />file similar to the one described as representative of
<br />the series, but the combined surface layer and subsoil
<br />is about 10 to 12 inches thick.
<br />Included with this soil in mapping are small gravel
<br />spots and small areas of soils that are redder and have
<br />a surface layer of sandy loam. Also included are small
<br />areas of Fort Collins, Kim, and Larimer soils.
<br />Runoff is rapid, and the hazard of erosion is severe.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is well suited to pasture and,
<br />to a lesser extent, wheat, barley, and alfalfa. Under
<br />dryland management it is suited to pasture or native
<br />grasses. Capability units IVe-1, irrigated, and VIe-1,
<br />dryland; Loamy Plains range site; windbreak suit-
<br />abiltty group 1.
<br />81-Paoli fine sar+dc loam, 0 to 1 percent eiopee.
<br />This level soil is on lo+v terraces.
<br />lncluded with this soil in mapping are a fen• small
<br />areas of soils that are more sloping. Also included at•e
<br />a fex• small areas of Caruso and Table Mountain soils
<br />and some gravel spots.
<br />Runoff is slow. The hazard of water erosion is slight,
<br />and the hazard of wind erosion is moderate. This soil
<br />is flooded in places, especially near stream channels.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is suited to corn, sugar beets,
<br />beans, barle3•, alfalfa, and wheat. Under-dryland
<br />management it is suited to wheat and barley. I~ is also
<br />well suited to pasture and native grasses. Capability
<br />units IIs-2, irrigated, and IIle-8, dryland; Overflow
<br />range site; windbreak suitability group 2.
<br />105--Table Mountain loam, 0 to 1 percent elopes.
<br />This level soil is on lo++• terraces and bottom lands.
<br />Included with this soil in mapping are some small
<br />areas of soils that hate a surface layer of sandy loam
<br />and some small areas of soils in µ•hich slopes are more
<br />than 1 percent. Also included are a fe+v small areas of
<br />Caruso and Paoli soils and small areas of soils in which
<br />sand and gravel lavers are at a depth of about 40
<br />lathes.
<br />Runoff is slow, and the hazard of erosion is slight.
<br />This soil is flooded or receives overflow in places.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is well suited to corn, sugar
<br />beets, beans, alfalfa, wheat, and barley, It is also well
<br />suited to wheat or barley under dryland management.
<br />Capability units I, irrigated, and IIIc-], dryland;
<br />Overflow range site; windbreak suitability group 1.
