Soil Summary: 
very deep, textures vary widely and soils are often stratified – very fine sandy loam to silty clay surfaces with very gravelly coarse sand to silty clay layers below, limy, no or little development, some high water tables on lower terraces; dominated by Cochise County, Northwestern Part soil survey units 44 (Glendale-Hantz complex,Sonoran, 0 to 3 percent), 18 (Cascabel, Quiburi soils, and Riverwash, Sonoran, 0 to 5 percent slopes), and 41 (Gila-Glendale complex, Sonoran, 0 to 2 percent slopes). These units comprise 32 %, 30% and 25% of the ELT, respectively
Geologic Materials: 
river alluvium associated with Holocene alluvium (Qy) which comprises 100% of the ELT
Landforms: 
coarsely dissected, weakly to moderately incised mainly on river terrace breaks; terraces themselves show little dissection
