Soil Summary: 
very deep, very gravelly sandy loam to sand surface soils over gravelly, very gravelly and extremely gravelly sandy loam to sand subsurface layers, soils are limy throughout, moderate to strong development (lime accumulation); other soils are finer textured and very deep, typically silt loam surfaces over silty clay and clay subsurface layers, lime and gypsum concentrations occur throughout, moderate to strong development (lime and gypsum accumulation, clay accumulation); dominated by Cochise County Northeastern Part soil survey map unit 14 (Calcigypsids-Contention-Redo complex, Chihuahuan, 5 to 45 percent slopes). This unit comprises 81% of the ELT

alluvium and residuum associated with the Pliocene-Pleistocene basin fill conglomerates (QTc); Pliocene-Pleistocene conglomerate and sandstone (QTcs); Late Holocene alluvium (Qy2); sandstone? (QTss); Holocene piedmont alluvium, undivided (Qy); and Pliocene red fine-grained basin fill deposits (Ts) which comprise 22%, 21%, 15%, 11%, 9% and 9% of the ELT, respectively
Landforms: 
finely dissected, weakly to moderately incised fans, terraces and pediments
