Zanesville soil series
Soil profile: Zanesville soils are deep or very deep and moderately well drained with slow permeability. Depth to a fragipan ranges from 60 to 99 centimeters. They formed in loess over residuum derived from sandstone, siltstone, and shale. (Base photo by Stephen Patton, UK agricultural communications.)
