• SOIL DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT <br />The soil pattern of the 2000-acre tract is shown on Map 1 at a scale <br />of 1 inch = 400 feet. The major soil unit, Winevada-Splitro looms, <br />occupies 50.6$ of the area. This map unit occurs widely distributed <br />over the area and on all slopes from Se to over 50~. <br />Aaberg clays are the second most extensive soil, occupying 13.168 of <br />the mapped area. <br />Skylick looms and clay looms occupy 12.5$ of the mapped area on <br />slopes of 20 to over 40$ on rolling to hilly topography and along <br />two major stream courses. <br />Other soils and extent are: Mixed Cryoborolls 8.68, Binco clay <br />7.88 and mixed Alluvium 3.OB.Sma11 rock and shale exposures are <br />intermingled among these soils and occupy an estimated 1701 acres on <br />• about 8.98 of the total area. Only 6.4 acres were separately mapped <br />as rockland because of the wide distribution in the form of small <br />outcrops not practical to separate from surrounding soils. <br />The Winevada-Splitro soils on sandstone formations cover a large area <br />of high plateaus and hills in the eastern 2/3 of the tract and extend <br />from elevations of 6850 in the southern part to over 8000 feet in the <br />northeastern corner. <br />Most of the other soils are associated with this high ridge to <br />plateau and drainageways arising from two major peaks. Near the <br />northeast corner of the project an 8000 foot ridge gives rise to drains <br />flowing N-NE E-SE and Westward. The westerly drains are dominant <br />and over 2/3 of the area drains westerly-northwesterly into the major <br />valley along the west side of the project. This valley leaves the <br />project at the extreme northwest corner at an elevation of about 6550 <br />• feet. In the south central part at about coordinates 2940s-1470e <br />is a peak of 7363 feet from which streams flow S-SW E-SE and N-NW. <br />-25- <br />
