( 3. Columbine-Stapleton area <br /> Deep, nearly level to strongly sloping, well drained gravelly soils. <br /> They formed in sandy alluvium; derived from arkosic sedimentary bedrock. <br /> This soil area is in the north central part of the survey area and <br /> occupies about 2 percent of the total acreage. About 50 percent of the <br /> area is Columbine soils, 30 percent Stapleton soils, and the remaining <br /> 20 percent is soils of minor extent. <br /> The Columbine soil is on the nearly level to gently sloping alluvial <br /> terraces and fans and contains more gravel than the Stapleton soil. The <br /> Stapleton soil is on the gently sloping to strongly sloping areas. <br /> The minor soils in this area are the somewhat excessively drained <br /> Blakeland and Ellicott soils and the well drained Blandon, Louviers, <br /> and Truckton soils. Also some Ustic Torrifluvents, loamy and <br /> Fluveutic Haplaquolls, nearly level are included. <br /> Most of this soil area is in native grass and used for grazing <br /> livestock. It is also used for homesites and wildlife habitat. <br /> . �r <br />
