Mapping Unit 2NE <br />• Unnamed-Cochetopa complex <br />These moderately deep and deep soils are on strongly sloping to moderately <br />steep mountain sideslopes, and have slopes of 12 to 25 percent. These <br />soils formed in material weathered from sandstone and shale and are <br />common over wide areas south of Fish Creek. Native vegetation is sagebrush <br />with some cropland. Unnamed (2NE) loans make up about 50 percent of <br />this unit, and Cochetopa (SOC) makes up about 35 percent. Small areas <br />of Splitro (46E) soils and Rock Outcrop (99) are included in this unit. <br />Typically, the Unnamed (2NE) soil has a dark grayish brown loam surface <br />layer about 19 inches thick. The subsoil is yellowish brown heavy clay <br />• loam about 19 inches thick overlying fractured hard sandstone. <br />Permeability of the Unnamed (2NE) soil is slow. Available water capacity <br />is moderate. Surface runoff is medium and erosion hazard is high from <br />water. <br /> <br />-2- <br />l <br />
