This vegetation is largely sustained by the natural water table and by flooding. Nunn Loam This soil is on stream terraces in the County. Surface runoff is slow and the hazard of water erosion is slight. In a representative profile the surface layer is six inches thick and non-calcareous. The subsoil is grayish/brown clay about 17 inches thick. Below a depth of 23 inches it is yellowish brown in color, calcareous and stratified to a depth of 40 inches. Terrace Escarpments Terrace Escarpments occur as steep slopes of present streams. They also occur as steep faces of terrace that border the bottomlands and flood plains. This land type consists of alluvium of variable materials and is very shallow over the sand and gravel. These materials have a loamy sand layer, which in some areas is 20 percent gravel.

This soil is better suited for grassland. Vona Sandy Loam This soil is on river terraces. This soil is formed in wind deposited sandy material. The surface layer is loamy sand about nine inches thick and is noncalcareous. The subsoil is coarse sandy loam about 13 inches thick, and noncalcareous.
