Lake Charles soils have less amplitude of waviness, and are moist in the moisture control section for slightly longer periods. Bacliff soils have colors with value greater than 3 throughout. Victoria soils are typically calcareous and have cracks that remain open more than 90 days in most years. Laewest soils are on broad, nearly level areas or narrow moderately sloping areas along side slopes of drainageways.
