LOGAN COUNTY, COLORADO <br />Dix soils are deep, somewhat excessively drained soils <br />on ridges and knobs. Eckley soils are deep, well drained <br />soils in mid slope positions. All aze underlain by sand and <br />gravel at less than 20 inches. Chappell soils are deep, well <br />drained coils on alluvia] fans and foot slopes. They are un- <br />derlain by sand and gravel at depths of 2(1 to 40 inches. <br />The minor soils in this unit are the deep, well drained <br />Wages and Altvan soils. They occur as small areas on the <br />smoother aide slopes where deposits of loamy materials <br />mantle the gravelly Ogallala Formation. <br />This unit is used mainly for grazing and wildlife. A few <br />small areas of Chappell soils are used for nonirrigated <br />cropland. <br />The potential for nonirrigated and irrigated crophmd is <br />poor mainly because of the slopes and high water erosion <br />hazard. The unit is well suited to grazing. The potential <br />for urban uses is good to fair. Slope is the primazy limita- <br />tion. The potential for development of rangeland wildlife <br />habitat is fav. <br />Broad Land Use Considerations <br />Logan .County is a diversified agricultural area used <br />mainly for irrigated cropbmd, nonuTigated crophmd and <br />rangeland. The major change in land use is toward irriga- <br />tion. Each yeaz a considerable amount of land is <br />developed for irrigation. During the past few years ap- <br />proximately 1$000 acres has been developed for pump ir- <br />rigation, mainly sprinkler type. Small acreages are being <br />developed for urban uses, mainly adjacent to and west of <br />Sterling. Areas of severely eroded nonirrigated cropland, <br />especially in areas of low preapitation, have been seeded <br />to grass and are used for grazing. The soil map for <br />general planning is helpful in planning the general outline <br />of major land uses in the survey area. <br />The potential for additional development of irrigated <br />cropland is predicted on the availability of underground <br />water or surface water. The proposed Narrows Dam or <br />similar structures on the South Platte River will provide <br />water to meet this potential <br />The DaileyJulesburg unit has been developed into an <br />important sprinkler irrigated area. The remaining range <br />areas of this unit have a good potential for sprinkler ir- <br />rigation. The potential for sprinkler irrigation in the ad- <br />joining Valent unit is limited by the scarcity of un- <br />derground water, high coil blowing hazard and elope. <br />The Nunn-Satanta-Haveraon unit is an extenaive ir- <br />rigated cropland area with neazly all areas used for crops. <br />The potential for additional irrigated cropland in the <br />Aldo-Loveland-Fluvaquents unit is limited by wetness, <br />flooding, and soils shallow over sand and gravel <br />The Wages-Satanta-Norka unit is an important ir- <br />rigated area, but the potential for additional irrigated <br />crophmd is limited by the scarcity of underground water. <br />This unit will also require Banal sealing, lined irrigation <br />ditches and drainage systems to min~mi~a the seepage <br />problem. <br />11 <br />Some small scattered areas are used for irrigated <br />cropland in the Platner-Rago-Rosebud and Weld-Platner- <br />Asealon units. The potential for additional irrigated <br />cropland is limited by the scarcity of underground water. <br />Some small scattered tracts are used for sprinkler irriga- <br />tion in the Haxtun,Julesburg unit. Additional acreages <br />can be developed where underground water is located. <br />The remaining upland units have a poor potential for ir- <br />rigation development, mainly in that they lack available <br />water. <br />Most areas suitable for nonirrigated cropland are being <br />used for this purpose. The most extensive acreages are in <br />the HaxtunJuleaburg, Platner-Rego-Rosebud, Weld- <br />Platner-Ascalon, Norka-Ulysses-Colby, and Wages-Satan- <br />ta-Norka units. The potential for additional nonimgated <br />cropland in the county is limited to scattered small tracts <br />of deep, nearly level and gently sloping soils in those <br />units. These small tracts are usually near farmsteads and <br />are used for grazing. <br />On some nonirrigated cropland in the Manter-Ascalon- <br />Vona, Norka-Ulysses-Colby, Rosebud-Escabosa-Canyen <br />and Stoneham-Cushman-Shingle units strongly sloping <br />soils that aze moderately to severely eroded aze best <br />seeded to grass and used for grazing. Most units on the <br />uphmds have some deep, neazly level to gently sloping <br />arable tracts, but too small and scattered to be used as <br />nonirrigated cropland. <br />Soil unite that are well suited to rangehmd use aze the <br />Mosher-Lebsack, Valent, DaileyJulesburg, Mitchell- <br />Keota, Rosebud-Escabosa-Canyon, Dix-Eckley-Chappell, <br />and Stoneham-Cushman-Shingle. These are very impor- <br />tant in cattle raising and feeding in the county, providing <br />large amounts of forage for grazing. <br />Scattered range areas are common in other units in the <br />county, usually on the steeper and shallower soils. Eroded <br />nonirrigated cropland is beat seeded to grass and used for <br />graang• <br />Nearly all of the soils are well suited to grazing. The <br />potential for continued productive grazing on rangeland <br />can be maintained and improved by using range manage- <br />ment practices. <br />Areas unfavorable for urban development are not ex- <br />tensive in the survey area Large parts of the Alda-Love- <br />land-Fluvaquenta unit, however, are subject to flooding <br />and water table conditions and are severely limited. The <br />Ustic Torriorthents-Badhmd unit also is severely limited <br />for homeaitea and road locations because of steep slopes <br />and shallow soils. Other units, such as the Rosebud- <br />Eacabosa-Canyon, Mitchell-Keota, and Stoneham-Cush- <br />man-Shingle, contain soils that are limited by depth to <br />bedrock. The Valent and Dix-Eckley-Chappell units have <br />soils that are limited by excessive seepage. <br />Currently most urban development is in the vicinity <br />south, west and north of the city of Sterling. Most soils in <br />this area are favorable, requiring only a few compensat- <br />ing measures. The moderately well drained Nunn clay <br />loam and some seeped soils lying below irrigation canals <br />are wet and require special compensating measures. <br />
