' ~CO-COTiS-2 (formerly CO-u2) U. S. Dept, of Agriculture 5/09 Soil Conservation Service (file code CQ+S-11~) f~ COYSERVATI021 PLAN MAP AND SOIL AND CAPABILITY MAP LFY;END SHEET „N~!Li1a:,, Different kinds of soil, range sites, or woodland sites are separated on the map by solid b]aok lines. Within each area is an identifying symbol or name. The following symbo]a are shown an your map: Symbol or Site Name Generalized Descriptions Soils Descriptions (Detailed descriptions are available in your Soil Conservation Service office.) PjF Louviers-Romero-Travessilla Comples, 30 to 65% Slopes. - These are very steep areas shallow to interbedded sandstone, siltstone, end shale. Usually a sandstone layer occurs at the crest of these areas. Sandstone and shale out- crop comprise 10 to 20°,G of the area. South facing slopes are often nearly barren while north facing slopes are commonly covered with oak brush and pinon trees. The soils are ncncalcareous and neutral. Surface layers are channery loamy or channery clay loamy. Much of the very steep side slopes are underlain by weathered shale ana have a silty clay loam subsoil. Narrow loamy valleys are included within these areas. PjE Louviers-Prieta-sort Colli,is Comply , 5 to 35% slopes. - About 65;b of the area is shallow (less than c0" to interbedded sandstone and shale) and has a very channery loam surface layer. These shallow soils have clay loam subsoils and are noncalcareous and neutral throughout. The shallow stony soils occur on ridges and are easily located by the abundance of pinyon trees. Aoout 20% of the area is Fort Collins loam and is deep, 40-60" or snore, to sandstone or shale and occurs along drainways. 1'h is deep soil has a loam or very fine sandy loam surface, a clay loam subsoil and is~noncalcareous and neutral to 20 inches or more. A few stones are commonly encountered in the profile. Deep soils occur in open grassy parks. About 15% of the area is rock outcrop. C3F tAidniRht Rombo Complex; 35 to 50% _slopes• - These soils are shallow and moderately deep 10 to 40 inches, to weathered snale. Texture is clay loam which grades to shaly clay loam with depth. It is noncalcareous and neutral to about 15 inches. channery stores on the surface vary from few to many. Soil moisture and plant roots penetrate deep rota the fract-ui•ed shale. Bands of interbedded sandstone comprise about iU percent of the area. P3E DarAOl-Fuera-Varner Complex, 10 to 45% slopes. - These soils are shallow (0 to 20 inches) on ridgetops, moderately deep (20 to 40 inche$) to shale just off ridge tops, and deep (greater than 40 inches) at the base of steep side slopes. Bands of sandstone outcrop occur on both the ridge tap and steep side slopes. Surface textures range from stony loam and loam to silty . clay loam. the subsoils are clayey. Water intake is moderate to slow. Water holding capacity is low in the shallow soils and moderate in the deeper soils. LfD Fort Collins Loam, 3 to 9% elopes. - This is a deep soil noncalcareous and neutral to about 28 inches. The surface grades from very fine sandy loam to loam and is about 8 inches thick. The blocky, clay loam subsoil extends to 38 inches. The underlying material is loam or light clay loam. This soil occurs along upland drainways and is commonly Bisected by a deep V shaped gully. Sandstone bedrock is exposed in places along the gullied areas. Water intake rate is moderate. Runoff is rather rapid on these sloping soils. Water holding capacity is 2 to 2'f1 inches per faot ~oil~iepth and is highest in the clay loam sfubsoil.
