The surface soil series present are Kim, Manvel, Midway, Nunn, <br />Manzanola, Cascajo, Wiley and Shingle. <br />The Kim series is described as "very deep, moderately <br />permeable, well drained soils formed in alluvium and mixed eolian and <br />alluvial material derived from sandstone and shale (NRCS). "Kim soil <br />supports native pastureland. <br />The Manvel series is described as "very deep, well drained, <br />moderately permeable soils that formed in thick very calcareous <br />alluvial fan materials derived from chalk and soft limestone (NRCS)." <br />Manvel soil supports native pastureland. <br />The Midway series is described as "shallow, well drained soils <br />that formed in calcareous platy, clayey shale (NRCS)." Midway soil <br />short grasses, which may support grazing. <br />The Nunn series is described as "deep, well drained soil on fans <br />and fan terraces. It formed in loess and alluvium (NRCS)." Nunn soils <br />support western wheatgrass, blue grama, little bluestem, prairie June <br />grass and needleandthread. <br />The Manzanola series is described as "deep, well drained soil on <br />fans and plains. It formed in alluvium (NRCS)." Manzanola soils <br />support blue grama, western wheatgrass and galleta. <br />The Cascajo series is described as "deep, excessively drained <br />soils that formed in very gravelly and sandy alluvium over shale or <br />sandstone (NRCS)." Cascajo soils support short and mid grasses <br />suitable for grazing. <br />The Wiley series is described as "very deep, well drained, <br />moderately slowly permeable soils formed in thick, calcareous loess <br />(^!RCS)." Wiley soils are grazing lands. <br />The Shingle series is described as "well drained soils that are <br />shallow to bedrock. They formed in residuum and colluviums derived <br />from interbedded shale and sandstone or in alluvium from mudstone <br />(NRCS)." Shingle soil supports rangeland vegetation. <br />Substantial quantities of surface material are available for <br />reclamation to rangeland, the current indigenous land use. <br />
