Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale. Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale. Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map measurements. Source of Map: URL: Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) Maps from the are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

5 SOIL TYPES, BRIEF DESCRIPTION & SLOPE DENHAM FARM, 195 ACRES +/-, SAND HILL, LEWIS CO., KY Soils descriptions are condensed from those descriptions within the Soil Survey of Lewis County, Kentucky, with the subject property shown on Map # 2. Soil types for the subject property include those of the Ashton silt loam (AsB) variety; the Nolin silt loam (No) variety; the Melvin silt loam (Me) variety; the Wheeling loam (WeB) variety; the Lakin loamy sand (LkB, LkC, LkE) varieties; the Fairmount-Faywood complex (FaFw) variety; and the Beasley-Shrouts complex (BhE2) variety. AsB Ashton silt loam, 2 to 6 percent. Very deep, well drained, soil generally found on low terraces on the Ohio River flood plain. Available water capacity high; permeability moderate; runoff medium. Natural fertility medium, organic matter content moderate, depth to bedrock more than 60 inches, seasonal high water table at a depth of more than 72 inches, tilth good, shrink-swell potential low, hazard of erosion moderate. Well suited to cropland, hay, and pasture uses, woodland, wildlife habitat, recreation, and septic tank absorption fields; generally well suited to building site development. No - Nolin silt loam, 0 to 3 percent, occasionally flooded. Deep, well drained, nearly level soil on flood plains in the Ohio River Valley. Available water capacity high, permeability moderate, runoff very slow. Natural fertility high, organic matter content moderate, depth to bedrock more than 60 inches, seasonal high water table at depth of more than 72 inches, tilth good, shrink-swell potential low, hazard of erosion none or slight. Well suited to crops, pasture and hay uses, woodland, and wildlife habitat; suited to recreation; unsuited to building site development and septic tank absorption fields. Me Melvin silt loam, 0 to 2 percent, occasionally flooded. Very deep, poorly drained soil on river and stream valleys and flood plains. Available water capacity high, permeability moderate, runoff slow. Natural fertility medium, organic matter content low to moderate, depth to bedrock more than 60 inches, seasonal high water table at a depth of 0 to 12 inches, tilth good, shrink-swell potential low, hazard of erosion none or slight. Suited to some crops, hay and pasture uses and woodlands. Unsuited to recreational and building site development and septic tank absorption fields; poorly suited to wildlife habitat. WeB Wheeling loam, 2 to 6 percent. Very deep, well drained soil on terraces in the Ohio River Valley. Available water capacity high, permeability moderate, runoff medium. Natural fertility medium, depth to bedrock more than 60 inches, seasonal high water table at a depth of more than 60 inches, tilth good, shrink-swell potential low, hazard of erosion moderate. Well suited to crops, hay and pasture, woodland, recreation, wildlife habitat, and building site development; suited to septic tank absorption fields. LaB - Lakin loamy sand 2 to 8 percent. Very deep, excessively drained soil found on terraces in the Ohio River Valley. Available water capacity low, permeability rapid, runoff medium. Natural fertility medium, depth to bedrock more than 60 inches, seasonal high water table at a depth of more than 72 inches, tilth good, shrink-swell potential low, hazard of erosion moderate. Suited to cropland, recreation, and building site development; well suited to hayland, pasture, and woodlands, poorly suited to septic tank absorption fields. LaC Lakin loamy sand, 8 to 15 percent. Very deep, excessively drained soil found on terraces in the Ohio River Valley. Available water capacity low, permeability rapid, runoff rapid. Natural fertility medium, depth to bedrock more than 60 inches, seasonal high water table at a depth of more than 72 inches, tilth good, shrink-swell potential low, hazard of erosion severe. Poorly suited to cropland and septic tank absorption fields, well suited to hayland and pasture uses, woodlands and wildlife habitat; suited to recreation and building site development; poorly suited to septic tank absorption fields.
