4 brown, and brownish yellow clay. The underlying material is stratified, platy, and brownish yellow, light olive brown, and light olive gray shale to a depth of 80 inches. Other soils are Ferris, Deport, Burleson, Austin, Ste- phen, Eddy, Trinity, and Elbon soils. Ferris, Deport, and Burleson soils are clayey, nearly level to strongly sloping soils on ridges and breaks. Austin, Stephen, and Eddy soils are friable, gently sloping, silty clay on uplands underlain by chalk. Trinity and Elbon soils are nearly level soils on flood plains. The soils in this unit are used mainly for crops and pasture and hay. Many ponds and flood prevention struc- tures provide recreation. Some areas are covered with urban works and structures, mainly residential. The soils in this unit have high potential for crops, for range, and for pasture and hay. Potential for woodland is low be- cause the soils are clayey and very slowly permeable. There is no woodland grazing in this unit. The soils have low potential for urban development. The soils shrink and swell greatly with changes in mois- ture content. They also are corrosive and have low strength. Potential for recreation is low because of very slow permeability and the clayey surface layer. 2. Annona- Freestone - Woodtell Nearly level to strongly sloping, slowly permeable to very slowly permeable, loamy soils on uplands This map unit consists of forested soils that have a loamy surface layer and a clayey subsoil. Slopes are 0 to 12 percent (fig. 2). This unit makes up about 23 percent of the survey area. It is about 27 percent Annona soils, 19 percent Freestone soils, 11 percent Woodtell soils, and 43 percent other soils. Annona soils are gently sloping and are on tops and sides of ridges. These soils are somewhat poorly drained and very slowly permeable. The surface layer is dark grayish brown, slightly acid loam about 4 inches thick. Between depths of 4 and -9 inches, the soil is light yellowish brown, strongly acid loam that has light grayish brown and brownish yellow mottles. Between depths of 9 and 16 inches, the soil is dark red, very strongly acid clay that has gray mottles. Between depths of 16 inches 26 inches, the soil is light brownish gray, very strongly acid clay that has dark red and gray mottles. Between depths of 26 and 42 inches, the soil is gray,.strongly acid clay that has dark red and yellowish brown mottles. Be- tween depths of 42 and 55 inches, the soil is yellowish brown, slightly acid clay that has gray and reddish brown mottles. Between depths of 55 and 75 inches, the soil is mottled gray and yellowish brown, mildly alkaline clay. Freestone soils are nearly level to gently sloping and are on ridges. These soils are moderately well drained and slowly permeable. The surface layer is brown, slight- ly acid fine sandy loam about 6 inches thick. Between depths of 6 and 16 inches, the soil is light yellowish brown, medium acid fine sandy loam. Between depths of 351 SOIL SURV 16 and 23 inches, the soil is yellowish brown, stron, acid loam that has strong brown mottles. Betwe depths of 23 and 33 inches, the soil is yellowish brov strongly acid clay' loam that has red and grayish. bro% mottles. Between depths of 33 and 44 inches, the*soil light gray, very strongly acid clay loam that has dark r, and yellowish brown mottles; uncoated sand and grains are on vertical faces of peds. Between depths 44 and 59 inches, the soil is light brownish gray, mediu acid clay that has dark red and yellowish brown mottle Between depths of 59 and 80 inches, the soil is fig brownish gray, medium acid clay loam that has oli% yellow, yellowish brown, and dark red mottles. Woodtell soils are sloping to strongly sloping and a: on sides of ridges. These soils are moderately we drained and very slowly permeable. The surface layer very dark grayish brown, slightly acid loam about inches thick. Between depths of 4 and 12 inches, tf soil is yellowish red, very strongly acid clay that has ligl olive brown and light brownish gray mottles. Betwee depths of 12 and 26 inches, the soil is red, very strong' acid clay that has light brownish gray and light oliv brown mottles. Between depths of 26 and 41 inches, th soil is mottled red and light gray, very strongly acid cla: Between depths of 41 and 51 inches, the soil is ligl brownish gray, very strongly acid clay that has light ye lowish brown and light olive brown mottles. Betwee depths of 51 and 63 inches, the soil is stratified grayis' brown, partially weathered shale and clay that have ye lowish brown mottles. Other soils are Derly, Hicota, Raino, Bernaldo, Guytor Ambia, and Roxton soils. Derly soils are loamy, poorl. drained, nearly level soils on terraces and ridgetopE Hicota and Raino soils are loamy soils on mounds withii areas of Freestone and Derly soils. Bernaldo soils ar( loamy, well drained, gently sloping soils on ridges Guyton, Ambia, and Roxton soils are on frequentl, flooded bottom lands. The soils in this unit have medium potential for crops pasture and hay, and timber. Because of slope, wetness and low fertility, nearly all of this unit is used for pastur( and hay or for timber. The gently sloping soils in this uni are suited to soybeans, corn, peanuts, truck crops, im proved bermudagrass, clover, and tall fescue. Potentia for woodland grazing is medium because of low fertility There is no range in this unit. The soils in this unit have medium potential for mos- urban uses. The soils shrink and swell with changes it moisture content. Other limiting features are slope, Iov1 strength, and wetness. Potential for recreation is mediurr because of slope, slow or very slow permeability, anc wetness. 3. Wilson - Normangee- Crockett I.
