Norfolk Series (No)

The Norfolk series consists of well-drained,moderately permeable soils that formed in thickbeds of unconsolidated loamy sediment. Thesesoils are on broad ridgetops and smooth sideslopes on uplands of the Coastal Plain. Slopesrange from 0-6%. Norfolk soils are classifiedas fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic TypicPaleudults.

Ochlockonee Series (Oa)

The Ochlockonee series consists of well-drained,moderately permeable soils that formed in

mostly sandy sediment of the Coastal Plain.These soils are on flood plains and in low areasadjacent to small drainageways that do not havea well defined channel in most areas. They aresubject to very brief, occasional flooding duringperiods of high rainfall. Slopes are less than 2%.Ochlockonee soils are classified as coarse-loamy,siliceous, acid, thermic Typic Udifluvents.

Ocilla Series (Oc)
