Cateache soil series
Depth Class: Moderately deep
Drainage Class (Agricultural): Well drained
Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Class: Moderately high
Landscape: Mountains and hills
Parent Material: Residuum weathered mainly from red inter-bedded siltstone and shale
Slope: 3 to 80 percent
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, active, mesic Ultic Hapludalfs
USE AND VEGETATION:
Major Uses: Mostly forested; some areas have been cleared and are used for pasture.
Dominant Vegetation: Northern hardwoods consisting of American beech, black birch, yellow birch, sugar maple, black cherry, white ash, northern red oak, and black locust.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:
Distribution: West Virginia and possibly Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Extent: Large extent with estimated acreage exceeding 350,000 acres. Cateache soils were previously mapped as members of the Teas series (inactive) or as a high base substratum phase of the Calvin series.
