These soils are so closely associated that it is <br />not practical to map them separately. About 50 percent of <br />the complex is Wages soil, 25 percent is Campus soil, and <br />15 percent is Weld soil. Wages a nti Campus soils are on the <br />side slopes, and Weld soil is on the convex ridgetops. Each <br />kind of soil has a profile similar to the one described as <br />typical for its series. <br />Included with these soils were small areas of Richfield <br />soil that make up about 10 percent of the area mapped. <br />The included areas are closely associated with Ca111lltl.s <br />
