Pocosin Soils 



Dare series - Dystic, thermic Typic Medisaprist 

 Dorovan series - Dystic, thermic typic medisaprist. 



Deep, very poorly drained, extremely acid (pH=4.5 or less) organic soils. 



Water table is at or near the surface most of the year. 



Pamlico series - Sandy or sandy skeletal, siliceous, dystic, thermic 



Terric Medisaprist. 

 Ponzer series - Loamy, mixed, dystic, thermic Terric Medisaprist. 



Moderately deep, slow to moderate permeability, very poorly drained, 



extremely to very strongly acid organic soils. The water table is at 



or near the surface 6 to 12 months of the year. 



Torhunta series - Coarse loamy, siliceous, acid, thermic Typic Humaaquepts. 

 Moderately deep, moderately permeable, very strongly acid (pH=4 .5-5 .0) , 

 very poorly drained loamy fine sand of partial fluvial origin. 



Savannah Soils 



Foreston series - Coarse loamy, siliceous, thermic Aquic Paleudult. 



Wrightsboro series - Fine loamy, siliceous, thermic Aquic Paleudult. 



Deep, Moderately permeable, very strongly acid, moderately well-drained 

 fine sandy loams. Water table is within 2.5 feet of the surface 2 to 6 

 months of the year. 



Leon series - Sandy, siliceous, thermic Aerie Haplaquods. 



Deep, rapidly permeable, very strongly acid, poorly drained fine sandy soils. 

 Water table is within 10 inches of the surface 2 to 4 months of the year. 



Lynchburg series - Fine loamy, siliceous, thermic Aerie Paleaquult. 

 Deep, rapidly permeable, strongly acid, poorly drained sandy loam. 



Rains series - Fine loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Paleaquult.
