Eufaula soil series

The Eufaula series consists of very deep, somewhat excessively drained soils that formed in sandy sediments of Pleistocene age. These soils are on stabilized dunes on reworked stream terraces in the Central Rolling Red Prairies (MLRA 80A) and Northern Cross Timbers (MLRA 84A). Slope ranges from 0 to 25 percent. Mean annual air temperature is 16 degrees C (61 degrees F), and mean annual precipitation is 820 mm (32 in).

 

TAXONOMIC CLASS: Siliceous, thermic Psammentic Paleustalfs

 

Solum depth: greater than 183 cm (72 in)

 

USE AND VEGETATION: Dominantly used for range. Considerable amounts of the loamy fine sand on lesser slopes are cropped to sorghums, small grains, and peanuts; or used for tame pastures. Native vegetation is post oak and blackjack oak with an understory of mid and tall grasses.

 

DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:

General area: central Oklahoma, central Texas, and south central Kansas

Land Resource Region: H-Central Great Plains Winter Wheat and Range Region, and J-Southwestern Prairies Cotton and Forage Region

MLRA 80A-Central Rolling Red Prairies, MLRA 84A-North Cross Timbers

Extent: large
