Classification and Correlation
of the soil s of

401 ISSUED

Columbus County, North Carolina

The final field review for Columbus County, North Carolina, was held
April 9-12, 1984. Participating were Willie Spruill, Soil Survey Party
Leader, and Berman Hudson, Assistant State Soil Scientist.

The final field review report and field correlation were submitted in December
1984. The review of the field correlation was made at the South National
Tecnical Center during August 1985 by Richard Mayhugh. Materials available
included the Soil Handbook, field notes, soil survey field sheets, laboratory
data for selected series, field observation made during reviews and study
trips, and a set of completed SCS-SOI-6 forms. These studies and materials
are the basis for approval of the final correlation.

Soil Legend

The first letter, always a capital, is the initial letter of the soil name.
The second letter is a small letter. The third letter, if used, is always a
capital and shows the slopes. Symbols without slope letters are those of
nearly level soils or miscellaneous areas.

Symbols consisting of two capital letters represent map units that are more
variable in composition than other units in the survey area. However,
composition has been controlled well enough for interpretations to be made for
the expected uses of the soil.

Prior Soil Survey Publications

There was a prior soil survey of Columbus County in 1915, which should be
listed as reference citation and noted in the introduction of the soil
survey. The listing will be similar to the following.

liThe first soil survey of Columbus County was published in 1915. This
survey updates the first soil survey and provides additional
information. II

Cooperators' Names

The credits on the front cover of the published soil survey will read as
follows:

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Soil Conservation Service
In Cooperation With
North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development
North Carolina Agricultural Research Service
North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service
Columbus County Board of Commissioners -

The cooperators' names in the credit section of the published soil survey
will read as follows:

This survey was made cooperatively by the Soil Conservation Service,
with the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development, North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, North
Carolina Agricultural Extension Service, and the Columbus County Board

Use and Definition of Special S)~bols

Wet Spots - Small areas (less than 3 acres) of soils
that are poorly drained to very poorly drained and
two drainage classes wetter than the soil in the
surrounding area.

Depression or sink - Small (less than 1 acre) closed
depressions formed by solution and collapse of the
underlying marl. ..

Short Steep Slope - Small areas that have a change
in elevation of 10 to 30 feet and are 50 to 200 feet
wide. These areas are along stream banks and
between uplands and flood plains.

Mine or Quarry - Small areas (less than 5 acres)
where stone or gravel has been removed.

Sandy Spot - Small area (less than 5 acres) of sandy
SOl Is, which occur in areas of loamy or clayey soils.

Better drained s~ot - Small areas that are
moderately well rained or well drained and are
two drainage classes drier than the soil in the
surrounding area.

COLUMBUS COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA -9-

The State Soil Scientist has certified the following:

1. The field mapping was completed in March, 1984.

2. The soil maps join with Brunswick, Pender, Bladen and Robeson Counties,
North Carolina. Robeson County has a published soil survey. Soil
mapping has been completed in Brunswick and Bladen Counties. The soil
maps join Horry County, South Carolina. Soil maps, the general soil maps
and interpretations have been matched with adjoining soil survey areas
and discrepancies resolved.

3. The location of each typical pedon is in a soil area named for the soil
described.

Type location for the survey area.

Type location for the series.

Texture for the subsoil (9-26 inches) is borderline between fine sandy
loam and loamy fine sand. See notes to accompany classification and
correlation for more details.

!I

This pedon is a taxadjunct to the Gritney series because the subsoil is
more clayey than allowed. It ~s an inclusion in the Grifton map unit.

This pedon is a taxadjunct to the Grifton series because the upper
subsoil is slightly less clayey than allowed. It is included with the
Grifton map unit.

This pedon is a taxadjunct to the Lumber series. See notes to accompnay
classification and correlation for more details.

2.1

&.1

!/

This data indicates this pedon had slightly less clayey in the subsoil
(control section) than is allowed in the Nakina series. Other data shows
it with mo,re clay and within the fine-loamy family. The liquid limit in
the Ap horizon seems high for a fine sandy loam with 3 percent clay.
Liquid limit is outside of the range on the Soils 5.

NOTES TO ACCOMPANY
CLASSIFICATION AND CORRELATION
OF THE SOIL OF
COLUMBUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
By
Richard Mayhugh

1. Flooding frequency was added to the names of map units Br, CC, Do, JS, Me,
Mk, and Wn during final correlation to conform to current nomenclature
for these conditions.

2. Gritney loamy fine sand, 2 to 15 percent slopes was changed to Gritney
loamy fine sand, 2 to 7 percent slopes. It was determined that these were
only very small inclusions in this unit with slopes exceeding 7 percent.

Foreston Series

The Bt horizon has slightly less silt plus clay (28) than allowed for a
fine sandy loam according to lab data. However this is considered
within the range of allowable lab error and therefore is considered a
fine sandy loam and within the Foreston Series.

Lumbee Series

The Bt horizon has 16 percent clay, slightly less than allowed in the
series. Therefore, these soils are considered taxajuncts to the Lumbee
series. They will classify as coarse-loamy over sandy or sandy skeletal.
Use and management is very similar to the Lumbee series.

Nakina Series

The Nakina series is proposed with type location in this survey area and
established in the correlation of Dorchester County, South Carolina.
These soils formerly were included with Stockade soils. They have
siliceous mineralogy. Stockade soils have mixed mineralogy.

Pender Series

The Pender Series is proposed in Pender County for soils formed in loamy
coastal plains sediments over weathered marl. It is established by this
correlation.

Una Series

The map unit Una and Chennby soils, frequently flooded, is changed to
Chastain and Chenneby soils, frequently flooded. Una soils are generally
mapped in the Mississippi River system where there is a possibility of
different 'soil minerals. The Chastain series, mapped in the coastal
plains, does not have a regular decrease in organic matter to .02 to
depth of 50 inches. Otherwise Chastain and Una soil are very simi1iar.
These soils in this survey area probably have the irregular decrease in
organic mater or have more than .02 percent at 50 inches.

COLUMBUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA -12-

Wakulla Series

Data shows coarse sand as the dominant size sand in 3 of the 5 horizons
sampled. Texture of all horizons are changed and official series and
soils 5 changed to allow coarse sand texture. Map unit name is changed
to Wakulla coarse sand, 0 to 6 percent slopes.

Wilbanks Series

Wilbanks soils in Columbus County are taxajunct to the Wilbanks Series
because most of them have a Histic layer generally below a depth of 40
inches. Also, the clay content of the control section is slightly less
than allowed in the series. Behavior, use and management of the soils
are very similar.

Laboratory Data

The laboratory data listed in the field correlation is omitted. These
were samples of only part of the pedon and only limited analysis was
obtained. The significance of the data is that it did support the
siliceous mineralogy and the fine-loamy family for the Nakina Series.
