The Jerry soil is very deep and well drained. It formed in colluvium and residuum derived from <br />shale. Typically, the surface layer is brown loam 10 inches thick. The upper 1 ] inches of the <br />subsoil is brown clay loam, The next part to a depth of 27 inches is pale brown calcareous silty <br />clay. The lower part to a depth of 60 inches or more is light brownish gray and gray calcazeous <br />silty clay loam. <br />Permeability of the Jerry soil is very slow. Available water holding capacity is high. Effective <br />rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is rapid and the hazard of water erosion is very high. <br />The hazard of soil blowing is slight. <br />This unit is used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. <br />118 -Lander loam, 0-3% slopes <br />This unit is on flood plains. Elevation is 6,000 to 7,000 feet. The average annual precipitation is <br />12 to 16 inches, the average annual air temperature is 42 to 45 degrees F, and the average frost- <br />free period is 75 to 95 days. <br />This unit is 85 percent Lander and similar soil. <br />The Lander soil is somewhat poorly drained and slowest permeability is moderately slow. <br />Available water holding capacity is moderate and runoff is medium. Depth to restrictive feature is <br />unspecified. It is formed in alluvium derived from mixed sources. <br />Typically, the Lander soil surface layer is loam 10 inches thick. The upper part of the subsoil is <br />stratified fine sandy loam to clay loam 34 inches thick. The next part is fine sand 10 inches thick. <br />The lower part to a depth of 60 inches is extremely gravelly sand. <br />134 -Morapos loam - 3-12% slopes <br />This very deep, well drained soil is on plateaus. It formed in residuum derived from shale and in <br />loess. Elevation is 6,400 to 7,600 feet. The average annual precipitation is 16 to 18 inches, the <br />average annual air temperature is 40 to 43 degrees F., and the average frost-free period is 65 to 85 <br />days. <br />Typically, the surface layer is brown loam 10 inches thick. The upper 18 inches of the subsoil <br />brown clay loam. The lower par[ to a depth of 60 inches or more is light yellowish brown <br />calcareous clay loam. <br />Included in this unit are small areas of Nortez soils and Campspass soils. <br />Permeability of this Morapos soil is slow. Available water holding capacity is high. Effective <br />rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is moderate. <br />The hazard of soil blowing is slight. <br />This unit is used for non-irrigated crops, livestock grazing and wildlife habitat <br />
