Wawaka soil series
A representative soil profile of the Wawaka series. (Soil Survey of Delaware County, Indiana; by Gary R. Struben, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Wawaka series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in as much as 51 cm (20 inches) of loess and in the underlying till over outwash. The Wawaka soils are on outwash floored till plains. Slope ranges from 0 to 12 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 991 mm (39 inches), and mean annual air temperature is about 11 degrees C (52 degrees F).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, active, mesic Typic Hapludalfs
Thickness of the loess: 0 to 51 cm (0 to 20 inches)
Depth to the base of the argillic horizon: 76 to 152 cm (30 to 60 inches)
Depth to the base of soil development: extends to depths greater than 203 cm (80 inches)
Depth to carbonates: 76 to 152 cm (30 to 60 inches)
Particle-size control section: averages 27 to 35 percent clay and 15 to 35 percent fine sand or coarser
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are used to grow corn and soybeans. Some areas are used for growing small grain, mainly wheat, and for hay and pasture. Also a few areas are in woodland or urban land. Native vegetation is mixed hardwood forest.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Central Indiana; MLRAs 111A and 111D. The type location is in MLRA 111A. The series is of moderate extent.
