Norwood soil series
A representative soil profile of Norwood loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes, rarely flooded. This fertile soil is located along the flood plains of the Colorado River. (Soil Survey of Colorado County, Texas; by Samuel E. Brown, Jr., Natural Resources Conservation Service}
The Norwood series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on flood plains. They have developed from reddish calcareous, loamy alluvial sediments. Slopes are mainly 0 to 1 percent, but range up to 8 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-silty, mixed, superactive, hyperthermic Fluventic Eutrudepts
Solum thickness is variable, but typically ranges from 152 to more than 203 cm (60 to more than 80 in). Bedding planes and/or buried profiles occur in the majority of pedons. Bedding planes, where present, occur between 38 to 102 cm (15 and 40 in). Buried horizons, where present, are between a depth of 76 to 152 cm (30 and 60 in).
USE AND VEGETATION: Used mainly for cropland. Crops are cotton, soybeans, alfalfa, sorghum, and oats. Some areas are in improved bermudagrass pasture. Native vegetation includes pecan, cottonwood, elm, oak, and hackberry trees and mid and tall grasses.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Mainly along the lower Brazos and Colorado River systems and their tributaries. The series is extensive.
