These <br />latter soils are generally flooded soils having a nravell_v substratum. <br />Bankard sandy loam is a deep, somev+hat excessively drained soil on flood- <br />plains at elevations of 4450 to 5000 feet. It formed in stratified recent <br />alluvium along streams and rivers throughout the area. The surface layer- <br />is grayish brawn sandy loam about 4 inches thick. The underlying material, <br />to a depth of 60 inches, is light yellowish bror•+n calcareous sand stratified <br />o-+ith thin lenses of sandy loam and loam. These soils are suited to very <br />limited cropping. They are sandy and subject to flooding, pasture is the <br />best use. <br />Aquolls and Aquepts are nearly level soils on bottom lands and natural drain- <br />ager•rays throughout the area. The Aquolls, which have dark colored surface <br />layers, make up about 55 percent of the area. The Aquepts, r•+hich have lighter <br />colored surface layers, make up about 25 percent. About 20 percent is made <br />up of soils which are well drained and soils which have sandstone or shale <br />r•+ithin 42 inches of the surface. <br />Typically, they have mottled, mildly to moderate alkaline, loamy or- clayey <br />surface layers and underlying materials ti•+hich extend to a depth of 60 inches <br />or more. They may or may not have a gleyed layer in the underlying material. <br />i , <br />. - <br />. , <br />• .~:.• <br />... <br />
