6. Neville-Nederland-Rizozo area <br /> Deep and shallow, gently sloping to moderately steep, well drained soils. <br /> They formed in residuum from red sandstone, limestone, and cobbly and <br /> gravelly alluvium. <br /> This soil area is in the southwestern part of the survey area and <br /> occupies about 3 percent of the total acreage. About 25 percent is <br /> Neville soils, 15 percent Nederland soil and about 10 percent Rizozo soil. <br /> The remaining 50 percent is soils of minor extent. <br /> The Neville soil is deep and has a fine sandy loam surface layer and <br /> loam substratum. The Nederland soil has a high content of gravel and <br /> I <br /> cobble. The Rizozo soil is shallow over red sandstone bedrock. <br /> r <br /> The minor soils in this area are the well drained Penrose, Manvel, <br /> Satanta, Stroupe, and Travessilla soils. <br /> Most of this soil area is used for grazing livestock, wildlife habitat, <br /> woodland, and for military maneuvers. About 85 percent of the soil area <br /> is on the Fort Carson Military Reservation. About half of the area is <br /> in Pinon-Juniper type vegetation. There is a very small acreage of <br /> cropland because of the limited precipitation. <br /> i <br />
