Haggatt soil and landscape
Soil profile: A tyoical soil profile of the Haggatt soil series. (Soil Survey of Floyd County, Indiana; by Steven W. Neyhouse, Byron G. Nagel, and Dena L. Marshall; Natural Resources Conservation Service)
Landscape: Hayland in an area of Caneyville, Haggatt, and Navilleton soils underlain by limestone.
The Haggatt series consists of deep, well-drained soils formed in clayey residuum that can be capped with up to 51 cm (20 inches) of loess. They are on hills and in sinkholes underlain with limestone. Slopes range from 2 to 25 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 109 cm (43 inches), and mean annual temperature is about 12 degrees C (54 degrees F).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, mixed, active, mesic Typic Hapludalfs
Depth to the base of the argillic horizon: 102 to 152 cm (40 to 60 inches)
Depth to a lithic contact: 102 to 152 cm (40 to 60 inches)
Thickness of the loess: 0 to 51 cm (0 to 20 inches)
Rock fragments: dominantly gravel size chert and include cobbles and stones
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are used for hay, pastures or are in forest. Native vegetation is deciduous hardwood forest.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southern and south central Indiana and north-central Kentucky. The soil is of small extent in MLRA 122.
Data on the family particle-size classification of this series shows both fine and fine-silty over clayey. This series is tentatively placed in the fine family. The series has been correlated in Indiana as the Hagerstown series with a lithic contact between 102 to 152 cm (40 and 60 inches). The permeability of these soils is being revised from moderate to moderately slow. Saturated hydraulic conductivity data was collected by Ammozemeter, and permeability was shown to be slower than moderate.
