JUDYVILLE SERIES
The Judyville series consists of moderately deep, well drained soils that formed in residuum from sandstone. Judyville soils are on hills and knobs. Slope ranges from 25 to 75 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 1016 mm (40 inches), and mean annual temperature is about 10.6 degrees C (51 degrees F).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mixed, active, mesic Typic Dystrudepts
TYPICAL PEDON: Judyville fine sandy loam, on a southeast-facing, 40 percent slope in woods at an elevation of about 175 meters (576 feet) above mean sea level. (Colors are for moist soil unless stated otherwise.)

COMPETING SERIES: These are the
Berks,
Blasdell,
Brownstown,
Brownsville,
Cadosia,
Calvin,
Highsplint,
Jubin,
Keyesville,
Lippitt,
Manlius,
Matewan,
Nailkeg,
Peaks,
Solon,
Sylco,
Warwick, and
Wyoming series. Berks and Brownstown soils have more than 40 percent silt in the Bw horizon. Blasdell, Brownsville, Cadosia, Highsplint, Jubin, Lippitt, Warwick, and Wyoming soils are deeper than 102 cm (40 inches) to lithic contact. Calvin soils have hue redder than 7.5YR in the B horizon. Keyesville soils have a paralithic contact within a depth of 102 cm (40 inches). Manlius soils have rock fragments that are dominantly shale. Matewan soils occur in MLRAs 125 and 126 and are on different bedrock plateaus (see Remarks). Nailkeg soils average more than 18 percent clay in the particle-size control section. Peaks soils have rock fragments of granite, gneiss, and schist. Solon soils formed in till and colluvium and occur on the Glaciated Appalachian Plateau in MLRA 140. Sylco soils have rock fragments of phyllite, metasandstone, and slate.
GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Judyville soils are on steep and very steep backslopes of hills and knobs. Slope ranges from 25 to 75 percent. The soils formed in residuum from sandstone. Mean annual precipitation ranges from 914 to 1067 mm (36 to 42 inches). Mean annual temperature ranges from 10.0 to 12.2 degrees C (50 to 54 degrees F). Frost-free period is 150 to 180 days. Elevation is 152 to 244 meters (500 to 800 feet) above mean sea level.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the
Loudonville,
Miami,
Mitiwanga,
Rainsville,
Rockfield,
Russell and
Silverwood soils. The well drained Loudonville soils are formed in till and are on higher lying rises on uplands. The very deep, moderately well drained Miami, Rainsville, and Rockfield soils are formed in glacial material and are on till plains. The somewhat poorly drained Mitiwanga soils are on flats or depressions of uplands. The very deep, well drained Russell soils are formed in loess and till and are on till plains. The well drained Silverwood soils are on adjacent terraces underlain with sand and gravel.
DRAINAGE AND SATURATED HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY: Well drained. Potential for surface runoff is high. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is moderately high or high. Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid.
USE AND VEGETATION: Almost all areas are in mixed oak-hickory forest, the native vegetation.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: MLRA 111D in west-central Indiana and to a lesser extent in MLRAs 114B and 115C in west-central Illinois. The series is of small extent.
SOIL SURVEY REGIONAL OFFICE (SSRO) RESPONSIBLE: AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS
SERIES ESTABLISHED: Warren County, Indiana, 1999.
REMARKS: Judyville soils were previously correlated as Weikert Variant and Muskingum soils in previous surveys.
The differentiae needed to clearly separate Judyville series from the Matewan series is not well defined in terms of soil properties. Until they can be better defined, Judyville soils will be restricted to LRR M in MLRAs 111D, 114B and 115C.
Diagnostic horizons and features recognized in this pedon are:
Ochric epipedon: from the surface to a depth of 23 cm (Oi, A, BA horizons).
Cambic horizon: from a depth of 13 to 86 cm (BA, Bw1, Bw2, Bw3 horizons).
Lithic contact: at 86 cm (top of the R layer).
Representative data mapunit for the typical pedon is DMU ID 153344 in MO 11.
ADDITIONAL DATA: Lab data is available for the typical pedon, S98IN-171-001, from the National Soil Survey Laboratory, Lincoln, NE.
