Soil Summary: 
detailed soil survey information is not available for this unit; with the exception of small areas of limestone and related rocks the unit correlates with GES unit 476 characterized by extremely cobbly sandy loams shallow to deep to granite or granite-like bedrock, acid soils lacking lime throughout, minimal soil development, and associated rock outcroppings
Geologic Materials: 
slope alluvium, colluvium and residuum mostly associated with Leatherwood Quartz Diorite (Kqdl); Apache Group and Troy Quartzite (Ya); and Middle Proterozoic granitic rocks (Yg). They comprise 72%, 14% and 8% of the unit, respectively
Landforms: 
finely dissected mountain slopes with shallow to moderate drainage incision
