Cg ~ Cascajo soi~ and Gravelly Land <br />CASCAJO SOILS AND GRAVELLY LAND, 2 TO 25%--This soil <br />has a surface layer, about b inches thick, that is <br />gravelly loam. The next layer, about 15 inches thick is <br />very pale- brown cobbly, very gravelly loam. Underlying <br />the above horizon is a stratified sand and gravel. <br />This soil is rapidly permeable, has low water-holding <br />capacity and is subject to moderate water erosion <br />hazard. This mapping unit is used for range and as a <br />source of commercial gravel, but does not make a <br />productive range site because of the droughtiness of <br />the soils. Most areas are too small to fence off from <br />other range. The soils are suited for uses such as hay <br />and feedlots or building sites, and as potential <br />habitat for upland game birds and rabbits. ----- <br />VIIs-2 Gravel Breaks <br />
