Whitwell soil series
A representative soil profile of the Whitwell series. Whitwell soils are moderately well drained. They have gray mottles at a depth of
60 centimeters. They are dominantly gray below a depth of one meter. (Soil Survey of Sequatchie County, Tennessee; by Jerry L. Prater, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Whitwell series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils that formed in loamy alluvium on low stream terraces. Slopes range from 0 to 6 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Aquic Hapludults
Thickness of the solum ranges from 30 to 60 inches and depth to bedrock is greater than 60 inches. Rock fragments range from 0 to 15 percent in each horizon. The fragments are rounded and are mostly less than 3 inches across. The soil is strongly acid or very strongly acid except where the soil has been limed.
USE AND VEGETATION: Nearly all of the soil is cropped to corn, hay, soybeans, small grains, and some cotton and tobacco. Native vegetation was forest of oaks, hickory, beech, maple, elm, and sycamore.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Southern Appalachian Ridges and Valleys(MLRA 128) and Highland Rim in Tennessee (MLRA 122), northwestern Georgia, northern Alabama, and possibly Arkansas and Kentucky. The series is of moderate extent.
