Myton soil series
A representative soil profile of the Myton series. (Soil Survey of Glen Canyon Recreation Area, Arizona and Utah; by Michael W. Burney, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
An area of Myton very gravelly sandy loam, 5 to 18 percent slopes, very bouldery. Myton soils are on plateaus and hillsides. Slopes are 5 to 70 percent. Elevation is 3,150 to 6,400 feet. Rock outcrop-Torriorthents complex, 20 to 65 percent slopes, extremely bouldery is in the background.
The Myton series consists of deep and very deep, well drained, moderately rapidly permeable soils that formed in colluvium derived from sandstone and shale. Slopes range from 30 to 70 percent. The average annual precipitation is about 8 inches. Mean annual air temperature is about 54 degrees
F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mixed, superactive, calcareous, mesic Typic Torriorthents
Soil moisture: the soils are dry in all parts of the moisture control section more than 75 percent of the time (cumulative) that the soil temperature at a depth of 20 inches is greater than 41 degrees F. Intermittently moist in some part of the soil moisture control section during July through September and December through February. Typic aridic moisture regime.
Mean annual soil temperature: 54 to 59 degrees F.
Depth to sandstone bedrock: 40 to more than 60 inches
Rock fragments: averages 35 to 60 percent
Clay content: 10 to 18 percent
USE AND VEGETATION: Used mainly for livestock grazing Vegetation is blackbrush, shadscale, saline wildrye, and galleta.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southeastern Utah. The series is of moderate
extent. MLRA 35.
