126 Soil Survey Preferred trees to plant: Shortleaf pine Management concerns: Slope, erodibility, content of rock fragments, and low available water capacity Urban development Suitability: Poorly suited Limitations: Depth to bedrock, slope, low strength, and seepage Recreational development Suitability: Poorly suited Limitations: Depth to bedrock, content of gravel, and slope Land capability classification: 7E Interpretive Group TsG—Tsali channery loam, 45 to 70 percent slopes Landform: Mountains Landform position: Backslopes Flooding: None Slope: Very Steep Setting Typical Profile Surface layer: 0 to 4 inches—strong brown channery loam Subsoil: 4 to 14 inches—yellowish red clay loam Underlying material: 14 to 60 inches—multicolored, rippable, interbedded phyllite and metasandstone bedrock bedded at angles up to 60 degrees Soil Properties and Qualities Drainage class: Well drained Depth to seasonal high water table: More than 6.0 feet Permeability: Moderate Available water capacity: Very low Root zone: Shallow Minor Components Cataska, Edneytown, and Lily soils, which are in similar landform positions Areas of rock outcrops Soils that formed in alluvial sediments along drainageways Use and Management Land use: Woodland Cropland, hayland, and pasture Suitability to field crops: Unsuited Suitability to hay: Unsuited Suitability to pasture: Unsuited Management concerns: Hazard of erosion, depth to bedrock, and low available water capacity
Murray and Whitfield Counties, Georgia 127 Woodland Potential productivity: Low Preferred trees to plant: Shortleaf pine and Virginia pine Management concerns: Slope, erodibility, content of rock fragments, and low available water capacity Urban development Suitability: Poorly suited Limitations: Depth to bedrock, slope, low strength, and seepage Recreational development Suitability: Poorly suited Limitations: Depth to bedrock, content of gravel, and slope Land capability classification: 7E Interpretive Group Uc—Ultic Udarents, channery Typical Profile This map unit consists of areas that have been modified by cutting, filling, and shaping. Some mounds of mostly undisturbed soil remain in places. Most sites have exposed multicolored shale bedrock on the surface. A few areas contain quartzite or sandstone coarse fragments on the surface. Unprotected areas have few to common gullies that are small or medium in size. These areas generally are borrow areas, level building sites, firing ranges, landfills, or idle land. Ug—Ultic Udarents, gravelly Typical Profile This map unit consists of areas that have been modified by cutting, filling, and shaping. Some mounds of mostly undisturbed soil remain in places. Most sites have exposed red or dark red subsurface horizons that vary in texture from loamy to clayey. Areas often have few to many chert or sandstone fragments on the surface. Some sites contain rock fragments that are the size of boulders. Unprotected areas have few to many gullies that are small or medium in size. These areas generally are borrow areas, level building sites, firing ranges, landfills, or idle land. UrC—Urban land, 2 to 10 percent slopes Typical Profile This map unit consists of areas that have been altered by cutting, filling, and shaping. These areas generally consist of buildings, streets, parking lots, sidewalks, or other structures. W—Water Typical Profile This map unit consists of areas of water, including ponds, lakes, and rivers. This map unit is not assigned a capability class.
