Map Unit Descriptions The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area.The map unit descriptions,along with the maps,can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. • A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas.A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils.Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils.On the landscape, however,the soils are natural phenomena,and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena.Thus,the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes.Consequently,every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components.They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management.These are called contrasting,or dissimilar,components.They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area,the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each.A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. • • • « 2 79 53 4 53 82 `�42 � ;y ��, e L.7 �f 83 -.- IIII j 3a 82 r 34 r, 17 ktri.*e 82 s. y 82 i- r 82 ti,\ Wes 4 kJ 83 17 - (T'IT '- 10 • 82 �.p 7 n•t o 83 • 0 es ,Iu.en 82 - 82 42 .1.\ I 17 -L\ _ • P [` r4 82 • _ ;•.- r, \-----. r / w a, _ 83 `_ 33 d • r rti rVt •'i 4 82 82 i 82 ({; t •/I . • , _. . , .---''''"--Th"---- \ • ` , -,-- v�- 83 14 N ' Y { 15 y , , 83 7(..„.„2:_______.4 NO , 41., -Y \, ill, MIS nr ;1.• r 82 1 '-• r 7 9 ' ! 83 82 83 ,: 82 ; %ai�� 34 I .; 4 41 As 34 33 ..• _Ve'i — 32 Y * f sr V 41 ± 1/1\l‘''s••. 82 4 62 33 ' ‘:1 4 ��, 22" is 2 23 79 65 C---\\ , i 1 i 82 4 82er 4 ;' 6_7„) c.....,..\ 83 -16 r • ' 79 a .1({J 16 79 33 N - 42 w III 64 • 82 4 j..; .

This nearly level map unit is in depressions in smooth plains and along the bottoms of natural drainageways throughout the survey area. Aquolls, which have a dark colored surface layer, make up about 55 percent of the unit. Aquepte., which have a lighter colored surface layer, make up about 25 percent. About 2(1 percent is soils that are well drained and soils that have sandstone or shale within 4h inches of the surface. These are deep, poorly drained .roils that formed in recent alluvium. No one peilon is typical. Commonly the soils have a mottled, mildly to moderately alkaline loamy or clayey surface layer and underlying material that ex- tends to a depth of 60 inches or more. In places they have a gleyed layer in the underlying material. Most of the acreage is subject to excessive runoff. The water table is at or near the surface in spring and during the peak of the irrigation season. These soils are used for rangeland and wildlife habitat. Some small areas are irrigated pasture. The potential native vegetation is dominated by • switchgrass, prairie cordgrass. saltgrass, alkali sacaton, big bluestem, indiangrass, western wheatgrass. slender wheatgrass. sedge, and rush. Cattails and bullrush grow in the swampy spots associated with these range sites. Potential production ranges from 4,910 pounds per acre in favorable years to 2.000 pounds in unfavorable years. As range condition deteriorates, the tall and mid grasses decrease, production drops,and saltgrass,sedge,and rush increase.The farming and irrigation in adjacent areas has increased the amount of salts on much of the acreage Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking half and leaving half of the total annual pratue- tion. Switchgrass, big bluestem, indiangrasa, western wheatgrass, pubescent wheatgrass. intermediate wheat- grass, tall wheatgrass, and tall fescue are suitable for seeding. The plants selected should met the seasonal requirements of livestock. For successful seeding, a firm prepared seedbed is needed. A grass drill should be used. Seeding early in spring has proven most successful. Tile lage is needed to eliminate the undesirable vegetation. Wetland wildlife, especially waterfowl, utilize this unit. The wetland plants provide nesting and protective cover as well as some food. The nearby irrigated cropland, where wildlife obtain much of their food and find protec- tive cover, makes this unit valuable to both wetland and openland wildlife. (lpenland wildlife,especially pheasant, use this unit for cover and nesting. Deer find excellent cover in sonic areas. These valuable wildlife areas should be protected from fire and fenced to prevent encroachment and overuse by livestock. They should not be drained.
