Kanak soil and landscape

An area of Karnak silty clay, 0 to 2 percent slopes, rarely flooded from Daviess County, Ky. (Photo provided by John Kelley, USDA-NRCS).

 

Note: The soil profile image was created by artificial intelligence (AI) using the Official Series description as a reference.

 

The Karnak series consists of very deep, poorly drained soils formed in clayey non-acid alluvium on flood plains. Most areas are cultivated, and corn and soybeans are the principal crops. Native vegetation is Bald Cypress, Green Ash, Overcup Oak, Pin Oak, Silver Maple, Swamp White Oak, Swamp Chestnut Oak, Tupelo, and Willow Oak. Some areas are swamps dominated by Buttonbush and Duckweed.
