<br />dark grayish brown (lOYR 3/2) when moist; weak, medium, <br />subangulaz blocky structure that parts to weak, fine, granular; soft. <br />very friable; strongly calcareous; moderately alkaline; clear, wavy <br />boundary. <br />C-8 to 13 inches, pale-brown (lOYR 6/3) loam, brown (lOYR 5/3) when <br />moist; weak, medium, subangulaz blocky structure; soft, friable; <br />strongly calcazeous; moderately alkaline; cleaz, wavy boundary. <br />R-13 to 20 inches, gray limestone. <br />The A horizon ranges from 6 to 10 inches in thickness and from very fine <br />sandy loam to loam in texture. Depths to limestone ranges from 10 <br />to 20 inches. These soils are typically calcazeous, but in some <br />places are leached in the upper few inches. From 0 to I S percent <br />of the soil material is limestone chips. <br />Laporte very fine sand loam, 5 to 20 percent slopes (LaE).-This soil is on <br />tops and sides of ridges in the north-western part of the Area. In most places it <br />occurs as long, narrow areas more than 15 acres in size. <br />Included with this soil in mapping are some small areas of Manvel loam and near <br />ridgetops, areas of Rock outcrop only a few feet wide. Also included is a Laporte-like <br />soil that has limestone at depths below 20 to 40 inches. These included soils and <br />Rock outcrop make up about 15 percent of each mapped area. <br />Runoff is medium to rapid on this soil. The erosion hazard is high. Available <br />water capacity is low because of the depth to limestone. <br />This soil is too shallow to be cultivated. Almost all of the acreage is in range or <br />pasture. (Capability unit VIe-3, nonirrigated; tree suitability group 6). <br />Loveland Series <br />The Loveland series is made up of deep, somewhat poorly drained soils. These <br />soils formed on terraces and bottomlands in loamy alluvium that overlies gravely and <br />sand materials. Slopes are 0 to 1 percent. Elevations are 4,900 to 5,500 feet. The <br />native vegetation is mainly bluegrass and blue grama. Annual precipitation is 12 to 18 <br />inches. Mean annual air temperature is 48° to 52° F., and the frost-free season is <br />about 140 to 155 days. <br />In a representative profile the surface layer is calcareous, dark grayish-brown light <br />clay loam about 20 inches thick. It is mottled in the lower part. The underlying <br />Western Mobile Lyons - Rockin' WP 1-2 <br />
