Tussahaw soil series
Depth Class: Moderately deep
Drainage Class (Agricultural): Well drained
Internal Free Water Occurrence: Very deep; Absent
Index Surface Runoff: Low to high
Permeability: Moderate
Landscape: Piedmont or Foothill
Landform: Hill
Hillslope Profile Position: Summit, shoulder, and backslope
Geomorphic Component: Interfluve, sideslope, and nose slope
Parent Material: Creep deposits over high-grade metamorphic rock residuum.
