Topography

High, older terraces, fans, and hills; 740 – 1,600 feet

Soil

Soil

Deep, alluvial sandy loams to loams to a few clay loams (some with clay pans) from the river bottoms up onto the higher terraces.

Topography

High, steep mountain slopes of ancient Salinas River and upper reaches of incised con- temporary Salinas Riv-er along the Rinconada Fault; 900 – 1,400 feet.

Soil
