This soil survey is a publication of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effortof the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, Stateagencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. TheNatural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) hasleadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey.

Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 2001. Soil names anddescriptions were approved in 2002. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in thispublication refer to conditions in the survey area in 2002. This survey was madecooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture, Forest Service; Missouri Department of Natural Resources;Missouri Department of Conservation; Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station; andBollinger County Soil and Water Conservation District. The survey is part of thetechnical assistance furnished to the Bollinger County Soil and Water ConservationDistrict.

Foreword

This soil survey contains information that affects land use planning in this surveyarea. It contains predictions of soil behavior for selected land uses. The survey alsohighlights soil limitations, improvements needed to overcome the limitations, and theimpact of selected land uses on the environment.

This soil survey is designed for many different users. Farmers, ranchers, foresters,and agronomists can use it to evaluate the potential of the soil and the managementneeded for maximum food and fiber production. Planners, community officials,engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers can use the survey to plan land use,select sites for construction, and identify special practices needed to ensure properperformance. Conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, wildlifemanagement, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the survey to help themunderstand, protect, and enhance the environment.

Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may imposespecial restrictions on land use or land treatment. The information in this report isintended to identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or landtreatment decisions. Statements made in this report are intended to help the land usersidentify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner oruser is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.

Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils areseasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are shallow to bedrock. Some are toounstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils arepoorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soilpoorly suited to basements or underground installations.

These and many other soil properties that affect land use are described in this soilsurvey. Broad areas of soils are shown on the general soil map. The location of eachsoil is shown on the detailed soil maps. Each soil in the survey area is described.Information on specific uses is given for each soil. Help in using this publication andadditional information are available at the local office of the Natural ResourcesConservation Service or the Cooperative Extension Service.

BOLLINGER COUNTY is located in the southeasternpart of Missouri, about 90 miles south of St. Louis and25 miles west of the Mississippi River (fig. 1). It isbordered on the east by Cape Girardeau County, onthe south by Stoddard County, on the west by Wayneand Madison Counties, and on the north by PerryCounty. The total area of the county is 397,235 acres,or about 620 square miles. Marble Hill is the countyseat. The population of the county was 12,029 in 2000.

General Nature of the CountyThis section gives general information concerning

the county. It describes climate; physiography, relief,and drainage; history and development; andagriculture.

Climate

Table 1 gives data on temperature and precipitationfor the survey area as recorded at Marble Hill in theperiod 1961 to 1990. Table 2 shows probable dates ofthe first freeze in fall and the last freeze in spring.Table 3 provides data on the length of the growingseason.

In winter, the average temperature is 34.3 degrees Fand the average daily minimum temperature is 23.3degrees. The lowest temperature on record, whichoccurred at Marble Hill on February 2, 1951, was 27

average temperature each day exceeds a basetemperature (50 degrees F). The normal monthlyaccumulation is used to schedule single or successiveplantings of a crop between the last freeze in springand the first freeze in fall.

The average annual total precipitation is about 46.80inches. Of this total, about 24.29 inches, or 52percent, usually falls in April through September. Thegrowing season for most crops falls within this period.The heaviest 1-day rainfall during the period of recordwas 6.30 inches at Marble Hill on March 28, 1977.Thunderstorms occur on about 60 days each year, andmost occur between May and August.

The average seasonal snowfall is 13.4 inches. Thegreatest snow depth at any one time during the periodof record was 14 inches recorded on February 26,1979. On an average, 6 days per year have at least 1inch of snow on the ground. The heaviest 1-daysnowfall on record was 12 inches recorded onFebruary 16, 1993.

The average relative humidity in midafternoon isabout 58 percent. Humidity is higher at night, and theaverage at dawn is about 86 percent. The sun shines68 percent of the time possible in summer and 47percent in winter. The prevailing wind is from thesouthwest. Average windspeed is highest, around 9miles per hour, from November to April.

Physiography, Relief, and Drainage

Bollinger County has two distinct physiographicregions within its borders. The Salem Plateau, whichcovers most of the county, is an extensive land regionmade of Ordovician age rocks that surrounds the St.Francois Mountains. In Bollinger County, these rocksare mostly cherty dolostone with some thininterbedded sandstone. A thin loess deposit covers thebroader ridgetops. The plateau is highly dissected bynumerous streams forming interconnecting ridges andsteep hillslopes.

The Mississippi River alluvial delta area is in thesouthern part of Bollinger County. This area is primarilylowlands produced by the Mississippi River during aprevious era. It is level and made up of terraces andintra-terrace flatlands.

The major river valleys drain to the southeast. TheWhitewater River and the Little Whitewater River are inthe northern part of the county. Crooked Creek, alongwhich the town of Marble Hill is located, is in themiddle part, and the Castor River is in thesouthwestern part of the county.

History and Development

Bollinger County was formed in 1851 from portionsof Cape Girardeau, Madison, Stoddard, and WayneCounties. It was named for George Frederick Bollinger,who came to this area in 1797 from North Carolina. Hereceived a 640-acre land grant from Don LouisLorimier, the Spanish commandant at Cape Girardeau.In return for the land, Bollinger agreed to develop theland and bring more settlers from the east. He returnedto North Carolina and, in 1800, brought 20 families(including six of his brothers and their families) back tosettle along the banks of the Whitewater River.

Bollinger also became involved in the political arena.Bollinger was a member of the first territorialassembly, which met in 1812 in St. Louis. WhenMissouri became a state, Bollinger became a senator.He was one of the original senators to meet at theFirst Missouri State Capitol in St. Charles and he waselected to serve as president pro tem of the Senate in1828. Bollinger also had a hand in national politicswhen he was a member of the electoral college thatelected President Andrew Jackson to his second term(1832 to 1837).

Agriculture

Clearing of the forests began in the early 1800s withthe first European settlements in the river valleys andon the broader ridges. Several decades ago, significantacreages of corn and wheat were grown in the county.At the present time, very few acres in the county aredevoted to annual crops. The cleared land is used toproduce grass or grass and legume mixtures forpasture and hay. Nearly all of the pasture and hay isconsumed by beef cattle. Many of the farmers in thecounty supplement their incomes with off-farmemployment. Nearly 70 percent of the county is usedfor timber production. The harvesting of saw logs,primarily oak, is an important segment of the localeconomy. Most of the logs are processed locally intoties and pallet lumber.

How This Survey Was MadeThis survey was made to provide information about

the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area.The information includes a description of the soils andmiscellaneous areas and their location and adiscussion of their suitability, limitations, andmanagement for specified uses. Soil scientists

Bollinger County, Missouri 13

observed the steepness, length, and shape of theslopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds ofcrops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock.They dug many holes to study the soil profile, which isthe sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil.The profile extends from the surface down into theunconsolidated material in which the soil formed. Theunconsolidated material is devoid of roots and otherliving organisms and has not been changed by otherbiological activity.

The soils and miscellaneous areas in the surveyarea are in an orderly pattern that is related to thegeology, landforms, relief, climate, and naturalvegetation of the area. Each kind of soil andmiscellaneous area is associated with a particular kindof landform or with a segment of the landform. Byobserving the soils and miscellaneous areas in thesurvey area and relating their position to specificsegments of the landform, a soil scientist develops aconcept or model of how they were formed. Thus,during mapping, this model enables the soil scientistto predict with a considerable degree of accuracy thekind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific locationon the landscape.

Commonly, individual soils on the landscape mergeinto one another as their characteristics graduallychange. To construct an accurate soil map, however,soil scientists must determine the boundaries betweenthe soils. They can observe only a limited number ofsoil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations,supplemented by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient toverify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and todetermine the boundaries.

Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of thesoil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color,texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind andamount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots,reaction, and other features that enable them toidentify soils. After describing the soils in the surveyarea and determining their properties, the soilscientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes(units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Eachtaxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics withprecisely defined limits. The classes are used as abasis for comparison to classify soils systematically.Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classificationused in the United States, is based mainly on the kind

and character of soil properties and the arrangement ofhorizons within the profile. After the soil scientistsclassified and named the soils in the survey area, theycompared the individual soils with similar soils in thesame taxonomic class in other areas so that theycould confirm data and assemble additional databased on experience and research.

While a soil survey is in progress, samples of someof the soils in the area generally are collected forlaboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soilscientists interpret the data from these analyses andtests as well as the field-observed characteristics andthe soil properties to determine the expected behaviorof the soils under different uses. Interpretations for allof the soils are field tested through observation of thesoils in different uses and under different levels ofmanagement. Some interpretations are modified to fitlocal conditions, and some new interpretations aredeveloped to meet local needs. Data are assembledfrom other sources, such as research information,production records, and field experience of specialists.For example, data on crop yields under defined levelsof management are assembled from farm records andfrom field or plot experiments on the same kinds ofsoil.

Predictions about soil behavior are based not onlyon soil properties but also on such variables asclimate and biological activity. Soil conditions arepredictable over long periods of time, but they are notpredictable from year to year. For example, soilscientists can predict with a fairly high degree ofaccuracy that a given soil will have a high water tablewithin certain depths in most years, but they cannotpredict that a high water table will always be at aspecific level in the soil on a specific date.

After soil scientists located and identified thesignificant natural bodies of soil in the survey area,they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerialphotographs and identified each as a specific mapunit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields,roads, and rivers, all of which help in locatingboundaries accurately.

The descriptions, names, and delineations of thesoils in this survey area do not fully agree with those ofthe soils in adjacent survey areas. Differences are theresult of a better knowledge of soils, modifications inseries concepts, or variations in the intensity ofmapping or in the extent of the soils in the survey areas.

The general soil map in this publication showsbroad areas that have a distinctive pattern of soils,relief, and drainage. These broad areas are calledassociations. Each association on the general soilmap is a unique natural landscape. Typically, itconsists of one or more major soils or miscellaneousareas and some minor soils or miscellaneous areas. Itis named for the major soils or miscellaneous areas.The components of one association can occur inanother but in a different pattern.

The general soil map can be used to compare thesuitability of large areas for general land uses. Areas ofsuitable soils can be identified on the map. Likewise,areas where the soils are not suitable can beidentified.

Because of its small scale, the map is not suitablefor planning the management of a farm or field or forselecting a site for a road or building or other structure.The soils in any one association differ from place toplace in slope, depth, drainage, and othercharacteristics that affect management.

Detailed Soil Map Units

The presence of minor components in a map unitin no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy ofthe data. The objective of mapping is not to delineatepure taxonomic classes but rather to separate thelandscape into landforms or landform segmentsthat have similar use and management requirements.The delineation of such segments on the mapprovides sufficient information for the developmentof resource plans. If intensive use of small areas isplanned, however, onsite investigation is neededto define and locate the soils and miscellaneousareas.

An identifying symbol precedes the map unit namein the map unit descriptions. Each descriptionincludes general facts about the unit and gives theprincipal hazards and limitations to be considered inplanning for specific uses.

Soils that have profiles that are almost alike makeup a soil series. Except for differences in texture of thesurface layer, all the soils of a series have majorhorizons that are similar in composition, thickness,and arrangement.

Soils of one series can differ in texture of thesurface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree oferosion, and other characteristics that affect their use.On the basis of such differences, a soil series isdivided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown onthe detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. Thename of a soil phase commonly indicates a featurethat affects use or management. For example, Captinasilt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes, is a phase of theCaptina series.

Some map units are made up of two or more majorsoils or miscellaneous areas. These map units arecomplexes. A complex consists of two or more soils ormiscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or insuch small areas that they cannot be shownseparately on the maps. The pattern and proportion ofthe soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similarin all areas. Alred-Rueter complex, 15 to 35 percentslopes, very stony, is an example.

Table 4 gives the acreage and proportionate extentof each map unit. Other tables give properties of thesoils and the limitations, capabilities, and potentialsfor many uses. The Glossary defines many of the

The map units delineated on the detailed soil mapsin this survey represent the soils or miscellaneousareas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions inthis section, along with the maps, can be used todetermine the suitability and potential of a unit forspecific uses. They also can be used to plan themanagement needed for those uses.

A map unit delineation on a soil map represents anarea dominated by one or more major kinds of soil ormiscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified andnamed according to the taxonomic classification of thedominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there areprecisely defined limits for the properties of the soils.On the landscape, however, the soils are naturalphenomena, and they have the characteristic variabilityof all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of someobserved properties may extend beyond the limitsdefined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of asingle taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mappedwithout including areas of other taxonomic classes.Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soilsor miscellaneous areas for which it is named andsome minor components that belong to taxonomicclasses other than those of the major soils.

Most minor soils have properties similar to those ofthe dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thusthey do not affect use and management. These arecalled noncontrasting, or similar, components. Theymay or may not be mentioned in a particular map unitdescription. Other minor components, however, haveproperties and behavioral characteristics divergentenough to affect use or to require differentmanagement. These are called contrasting, ordissimilar, components. They generally are in smallareas and could not be mapped separately because ofthe scale used. Some small areas of stronglycontrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identifiedby a special symbol on the maps. The contrastingcomponents are mentioned in the map unitdescriptions. A few areas of minor components maynot have been observed, and consequently they arenot mentioned in the descriptions, especially wherethe pattern was so complex that it was impractical tomake enough observations to identify all the soils andmiscellaneous areas on the landscape.
