<br />brown, and brownish yellow clay. Tlie underlying material
<br />is stratified, platy, and brownish yellow, light olive brown,
<br />and light olive gray shale to a depth of 80 Inches.
<br />Other soils are Ferris, Deport, Burleson, Austin, Ste-
<br />, phen, Eddy, Trinity, and Elbon soils. Ferris, Deport, and
<br />Burleson soils are clayey, nearly level to strongly sloping
<br />soils on ridges and breaks. Austin, Stephen, and Eddy
<br />soils are friable, gently sloping, silty clay on uplands
<br />underlain by chalk. Trinity and Elbon soils are nearly
<br />level soils on flood plains.
<br />The soils in this unit are used mainly for crops and
<br />pasture and hay. Many ponds and flood prevention struc-
<br />tures provide recreation. Some areas are covered with
<br />urban works and structures, mainly residential. The soils
<br />In this unit have high potential for crops, for range, and
<br />for pasture and hay. Potential for woodland is low be-
<br />cause the soils are Clayey and very slowly permeable.
<br />There is no woodland grazing In this unit.
<br />The soils have low potential for urban development.
<br />The soils shrink and swell greatly with changes In mois-
<br />ture content. They also are corrosive and have low
<br />strength. Potential for recreation Is low because of very
<br />slow permeability and the Clayey surface layer.

<br />slowly permeable, loamy soils on uplands
<br />
<br />This map unit consists of forested soils that have a
<br />loamy surface layer and a Clayey subsoil. Slopes are 0 to
<br />12 percent (fig. 2). This unit makes up about 23 percent
<br />of the survey area. It is about 27 percent Annona soils,
<br />19 percent Freestone soils, 11 percent Woodtell soils,
<br />and 43 percent other soils.
<br />Annona soils are gently sloping and are on tops and
<br />sides of ridges. These soils are somewhat poorly drained
<br />and very slowly permeable. The surface layer Is dark
<br />grayiSh brown, slightly acid loam about 4 inches thick.
<br />Between depths of 4 and 9 Inches, the soil Is light
<br />yellowish brown, strongly acid loam that has light grayish
<br />brown and brownish yellow mottles. Between depths of 9
<br />and 16 Inches. the soil Is dark red, very strongly acid
<br />Clay that has gray mottles. Between depthS of 16 inches '
<br />26 Inches, the soil Is light brownish gray, very strongly
<br />acid clay that has dark red and gray mottles. Between
<br />depths of 26 and 42 Inches, the soil Js gray, strongly acid
<br />clay that has dark red and yellowish brown mottles. Be-
<br />tween depths of 42 and 55 Inches, the soil Is yellowish
<br />brown, slightly acid clay that has gray and reddish brown
<br />mottles. Between depths of 55 and 75 Inches, the soli is
<br />mottled gray and yellowish brown, mildly alkaline clay.
<br />Freestone soils are nearly level to gently sloping and
<br />are on ridges. These soils are moderately well drained
<br />and slowly permeable. The surface layer is brown, slight-
<br />ly acid fine sandy loam about 6 inches thick. Between
<br />depths of 6 and 16 inches, the soil is light yellowish
<br />brown, medium acid fine sandy loam. Between depths of

<br />Woodtell soils are sloping to strongly sloping and a:

<br />Other soils are Derly, Hicota, Raina, Bernaldo, Guytor
<br />Ambla, and Roxton soils. Derly soils are ic?amy, poorl
<br />draIned, nearly level soils on terraces and rldgetopf
<br />Hicota and Raina soils are loamy salls on mounds withh
<br />areas of Freestone and Derly soils. Bernaldo soils an
<br />loamy, well dralnetl, gently sloping soils on ridges
<br />Guyton, Ambia, and Roxton soils are on frequentl:
<br />flooded bottom lands.
<br />The soils In this unit have medium potential for crops
<br />pasture and hay, and timber. Because of slope, wetness
<br />and low fertility, nearly all of this unit Is used for pasturE
<br />and hay or for timber. The gently sloping soils Ih this uni
<br />are suited to soybeans, corn, peanuts, truck crops, 1m
<br />proved bermudagrass, clover, and tail fescue. Potentia
<br />for woodland grazing Is medium because of low fertility
<br />There is no range In this unit.
<br />The soils In this unit have medium potential for mos'
<br />urban uses. The soils shrink and swell with changes ir
<br />moisture content. Other limiting features are slope, 10....
<br />strength, and wetness. Potential for recreation is mediun-
<br />because of slope, slow or very slow permeability, anc
<br />wetness.
