dinner with a drive through and take out options. This location is in the northeast part of
the City and is heavily populated.

SOIL SURVEY OF LAMAR AND DELTA COUNTIES, TEXAS
By Dennis Ressel, 5011 Conservanon Service
Dan A. Blackstock, Roy L. Robbins, and Jesse R. Thomas, Jr., soli scientists, 5011 Conservation Service,
assisted In the field mapping
United States Department of Agriculture, Soli Conservation Service, In cooperation with
Texas Agricultural Experiment Station
LAMAR AND DELTA COUNTIES are in northeastern
Texas (see map on facing page). The area of the two
counties is 1,185 square miles, or 758,400 acres. Red
River is the northern boundary of Lamar County, and
South Sulphur River is the southern boundary of Delta
County. The old channel of North Sulphur River is the
boundary between Lamar and Delta Counties. Paris is
the county seat of Lamar County, and Cooper is the seat
of Delta County.
The area Is dissected by many well-defined drain-
ageways. Lamar County north of Paris drains northeast
into Red River. South of Paris the county drains south-
east into North Sulphur River. All of Delta County drains
southeast into South Sulphur River except the area near
North Sulphur River. The elevation in the two counties
ranges from about 335 feet above sea level in the south-
eastern part of the area to about 620 feet on the highest
watershed divides.
These are cattle-producing and farming counties.
About 42 percent of the area is used for pasture and
hay, 33 percent for crops, 13 percent for woodland, and
4 percent for range. The remaining 8 percent Is urban
land, federal military land, and water area. Farming in the
two counties has evolved from primarily cotton in the
early 1950's to a diverse agriculture today. Cotton is still
a major crop, but improved berrnudagrass, fescue, grain
sorghum, soybeans, and small grains have become Im-
portantln recent years.
There are great differences among soils in the area.
About 51 percent of the soils formed on uplands under
prairie, 30 percent formed on uplands under forest, and
the remaining 19 percel'lt formed on flood plains. Unpro-
tected sloping areas are subject to water erosion. It is
common to have periods of continuous wet or dry weath-
er 4 to 6 months long.
General nature of the counties
This section gives general information about Lamar
and Delta Counties. It briefly discusses the settlement
and population, farming, climate, and natural resources
of the area.
Settlement and population
Settlement of Lamar County began in 1821. !he
county was organized Officially in 1841 and was named
in honor of the President of the Republic of Texas,
Mirabeau B. Lamar.
Paris, the seat of Lamar County, has a population of
about 24,050. In 1970, the population of Lamar County
was 36,062.
Delta County was created from Lamar and Hopkins
Counties in 1870. The name was taken from the,.Greek
letter delta. The county Is between the north and south
forks of the Sulphur River.
Cooper, the seat of Delta County, has a population of
about 2,495. In 1970, the population of Delta County was
4,927.
Climate
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National
Weather Service, asalsted In the preparation of this section.
The climate of Lamar and Delta Counties is humid
subtropical with warm summers. The climate is continen-
tal also, characterized by extreme variations in tempera-
ture. Tropical maritime air masses flow through the area
in late spring, summer, and early fall, and polar air
masses frequent the area in winter. Temperature and
precipitation data from Paris, in Lamar County, are given
in table 1.
Rainfall is abundant and is evenly distributed through-
out the year. Mean annual precipitation is 45.32 inches.
Since records began in 1891, annual rainfall has ranged
1
. 2
from 18.21 Inches In 1899 to 75.65 Inches In 1957.
Prevailing' winds are southerly to southeasterly during
most months. In January and February northerly winds
prodomlnate. The mean annual relative humidity Is 83
percent at 6 A.M., 56 percent at noon"and 55 percent at
6 P.M.
In winter, temperatures are mild. A low temperature of
32 degrees F or below occurs on about 2 nights out of
3. The dally high fails to exceed 32 degrees on an
average of about 4 days per year. The area experiences
frequent surges of cold continental air In winter. Cold
fronts moving down from the north often are. accompa-
nied by strong gusty winds and sudden drops in tem-
perature; however, cold spells are short, rarely lasting
longer than 48 hours before rapid warming occurs. Pre-
cipitation may fall as rain, freezing rain, sleet, or snow.
In summer, days are warm, particularly In July and
August There Is little variation In the day-to-day weather
during these months. Sunshine is about 75 percent of
the total possible during summer. Refrigerated air condi-
tioning provides the maxlmum comfort Indoors.
Spring and fall are characterized by warm days and
cool nights. Cloudiness and showers are slightly more
frequent In spring than In fall. Also, average w1ndspeed Is
stronger In spring.
The growing season (freeze-free period) averages 228
days. The average dates of the last freeze In the spring
and the first in the fall are March 26 and November g.
About 50 thunderstorms occur each year. A few of these
thunderstorms are accompanied by destructive wind,
hail, or high Intensity rain.
FarmIng
Farming Is the leading Industry In Lamar and Delta
Counties. About 77 percent, of Lamar County and 83
percent of Delta County Is suited to cultivation. The aver-
age farm size Is 271 acres In Lamar County and 147
acres In Delta County. In recent years more people have
been purchasing farms to supplement income from In-
dustry.
The main farm enterprises are crops, livestock, dairy-
Ing, and poultry. A few hardwood logs are harvested
each year. The main cash crops are cotton, soybeans,
grain sorghum, corn, wheat, peanuts, and alfalfa. A large
acreage of bermudagrass Is cut for hay.
Livestock operations are primarily cow-calf. Supple-
mental feeding Is generally heavy from December to late
February or March. There are few commercial feedlots In
these counties.
Natural resources
5011 Is the most Important natural resource In Lamar
and Delta Counties. Forage for livestock and food, fiber,
and timber for market and home consumption produced
-----
SOIL SURVEY
from the soils of the counties are a major source of
livelihood for many people.
Water Is an Important natural resource. Several lakes
provide high quality water for homes and Industry. Scat-.
tered aquifers throughout the area provide high quality. ,
water for home use.
Wildlife produced on the farms, ranches, and game
management areas provides recreation for many resi-
dents. '
Gravel from high terrace deposits of the Red River
and from the rectified North Sulphur River channel and
chalk and limestone mined from bedrock provide materi-
al for local road construction.
Natural gas Is produced by a few wells In the eastern
part of Delta County.
How this survey was made
Soil scientists made this survey to leam what kinds of
soli are In the survey area, where they are, and how they,
can be used. The soli scientists went Into the area know-
ing they likely would locete many solis they already knew
something about and perhaps Identify some they had
never seen before. They observed the steepness, length,
and shape of slopes; the size of streams and the general
pattern of drainage; the kinds of native plants or crops;
the kinds of rock; and many facts about the solis. They.
dug many holes to expose soli profiles. A profile Is the' ,
sequence of natural layers, or horizons, In a soli; It ex-
tends from' the surface down Into the parent material,
which has been changed very little by leaching or by the
action of plant roots.
The soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the
profiles they studied, and they compared those profiles
with others In counties nearby and In places more dis-
tah!. Thus, through correlation, they classified and
named the soils according to nationwide, uniform proce-
dures.
After a guide for classifying and naming the soils was
worked out, the soil scientists drew the boundaries of the
Individual soils on aerial photographs. These photo-
graphs show woodlands, buildings, field borders, roads,
and other details that help In drawing boundaries accu-
rately. The soil map at the back of this publication was
prepared from aerial photographs.
The areas shown on a soil map are called soil map
units. Some map units are made up of one kind of soli,
others are made up of two or more kinds of soil, and a
few have little or no soil material at all. Map units are
discussed In the sections "General soli map for broad
land use planning" and "Soil maps for detailed plan-
ning."
While a soli survey is In progress, samples of solis are
taken as needed for laboratory measurements and for
engineering tests. The soils are field tested, and interpre-
tations of their behavior are modified as necessary
LAMAR AND DELTA COUNTIES, TEXAS
during the course of the survey. New interpretations are
added to meet I,ocal needs, mainly through field observa-
tions of different kinds of soil in different uses under
different levels of management. Also, data are assem-
bled from other sources, such as test results, records,
field experience, and information available from state
and local specialists. For example, data on crop yields
under defined practices are assembled from farm rec-
ords and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
But only part of a soil survey is done when the soils
have been named. described, interpreted, and delineated
'on aerial photographs and when the laboratory data and
other data have been assembled. The mass of detailed
information then needs to be organized so that it is
readily available to different groups of users, among
them farmers, managers of rangeland and woodland,
engineers, planners, developers and builders, home-
buyers, and those seeking recreation.
General soil map for broad land use
planning
The general soil map at the back of this publication
shows, in color, map units that have a distinct pattern of
soils and of relief and drainage. Each map unit is a
unique natural landscape. Typically, a map unit consists
of one or more major soils and some minor soils. It is
named for the major soils. The soils making up one unit
can occur in other units but in a different pattern.
The general soil map provides a broad perspective of
the soils and landscapes in the survey area. It provides a
basis for comparing the potential of large areas for gen-
eral kinds of land use. Areas that are, for the most part,
suited to certain kinds of farming or to other land uses
cen be Identified on the map. Likewise, areas of soils
having properties that are distinctly unfavorable for cer-
tain land uses can be located.
Because of its small scale, the map does not show the
kind of soil at a specific site. Thus, it is not suitable for
planning the management of a farm or field or for select-
ing a site for a road or building or other structure. The
kinds of soil in anyone map unit differ from place to
place In slope, depth, stoniness, drainage, or other char-
acteristics that affect their management.
The soils in the survey area vary widely in their poten-
tial for major land uses. Table 2 shows the extent of the
map units shown on the general soil map and gives '
general ratings of the potential of each, in relation to the
other map units, for major land uses. Soil properties that
pose limitations to the use are indicated. The ratings of
soil potential are based on the assumption that practices
in common use in the survey area are being used to
'overcome soil limitations. These ratings ref/ect the ease
of overcoming the soil limitations and the probability of
soil problems persisting after such practices are used.
~

Each map unit is rated for cultivated farm crops, pas-
ture and hay, renge, woodland, woodland grazing, urban
uses, and recreatIon. Cultivated farm crops are those
grown extensively by farmers in the survey area. Pasture
and hay consist of grasses established for grazing or
cutting. Woodland refers to land that is producing either
trees native to the area or Introduced species. Woodland
grazing is using grassy areas in woodland for grazing.
Urban uses include residential, commerciai, and industri-
al developments. Recreation includes campsites, picnic
areas, ballfields, and other areas that are subject to
heavy foot traffic and areas used for nature study and as
wilderness.
DescrIptions of the general soli map units
1. Houston Black-Leson-Helden
Nearly level to gently sloping, velJl Slowly permeable,
clayey soils on uplandS
This map unit consists of clayey prairie soils that crack
when dry. Siopes are 0 to 5 percent (fig. 1).
This unit makes up about 32 percent of the survey ,
area. It Is about 32 percent Houston Black soils, 18
percent Leson soils, 12 percent Heiden soils, and 38
percent other soils.
Houston Black soils are on sides and tops and at the
foot of ridges. These soils are moderately weil drained.
They are moderately alkaline throughout. The surface
layer is very dark gray clay about 5 inches thick. Be-
tween depths of 5 and 23 inches, the soil is black clay.
Between depths of 23 and 38 inches, the soil is very
dark clay. Between depths of 38 and 51 inches, the soil
Is olive gray clay that has light olive brown and gray
mottles. Between depths of 51 and 77 inches, the soil is
light olive brown clay over grayiSh brown clay that has
mottles of yellow, gray, and brownish yellow. The under-
lying material is brownish yeilow and light brownish gray,
stratified shaly clay to a depth of 80 inches.
Leson soils are on tops and sides of ridges. These
soils' are moderately well drained. The surface layer is
black, slightly acid clay about 20 inches thick. Between

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.

soils on mounds within areas of Derly and Freestone
soils. Guyton soils are loamy, are frequently flooded, and
are on narrow bottom lands.
The soils In this unit have medium potential for culti-
vated crops and pasture and hay because of slope and
erodibility. These soils are suited to corn, soybeans, im-
proved bermudagrass, clover, and fescue grass. There is
no range in this unit. Potential for woodland and wood-
land grazing Is medium because of low fertility. The more
sloping soils are suited to these uses.
Potential of the soils In this unit for urban uses and
recreation Is medium. Slope, shrinking and swelling with
moisture changes, and low strength are the main limiting
factors.

tween depths of 4 and 63 inches, the soil Is reddish
brown, very fine sandy loam that has thin strata of loam
and many bedding planes. Many areas of Severn soils
have thin layers of silty clay loam overwash. .
Caspiana soils are nearly level and are on low ter.
races. These soils are well drained and moderately per-
meable. The surface layer is dark brown, slightly acid silt
loam about 10 Inches thick. Between depths of 10 and
16 inches, the soil is dark reddish brown, neutral silt
loam. Between depths of 16 and 19 Inches, the soil Is
dark brown, neutral silt loam. Between depths of 19 and
48 Inches, the soil Is reddish brown, neutral silt loam.
Between depths of 48 and 80 inches, the soil Is yellow-
ish red, neutral silt loam.
Desha soils are nearly level and are in backswamp
areas and depressional meander belts. These soils are

clay about 26 inches thick. Between depths of 26 and 70
inches, the soil Is reddish brown, moderately alkaline
clay. '
Other soils are Redlake, Belk, Muldrow, Norwood,
Harjo, and Kiomatia soils. Redlake, Belk; Muldrow, Nor-
wood, Harjo, and KJomatia soils are nearly level to gently
sloping and are on flood plains. The clayey Redlaka and
Belk soils and the loamy Muldrow and Norwood soils are
on bottom lands and are rarely inundated. The clayey
Harjo and the sandy Kiomatia soils are frequently
flooded.
The soils In this unit have high potential for cultivated
crops and pasture and hay. Row crops, forage crops,
legumes, and small grains grow well. Surface drainage
may be needed In some places that are somewhat
poorly drained or poorly drained. These soils are the
most productive and Intensely cultivated in the survey
area. Potential for woodland and woodland grazing Is
high. There Is no range. <' <',
The potential for most urban uses is low because of
flooding. Potential for recreation is low because of flood-
Ing and a surface layer that Is too clayey.
Land use considerations
Deciding which land should be used for crops, pasture
and hay, range, woodland, urban uses, or recreation Is
an Important Issue In this survey area. Each year a
considerable amount of land is developed for each of
these uses. The general soil map Is most helpfUl in the
general planning of development; however, it cannot be
used for the selection of sites for specific uses. In gener-
al, the soils that have high potential for crops, pasture
and hay, and range have low potential for urban uses
and recreation. The data about specific soils elsewhere
In this survey can be helpful in planning future land use.
General soli map units 1 and 6 have high potential for
crops and pasture and hay but low potential for urban
uses and recreation. The soils in these units are the
