The Beasley series consists of deep, well drained soil on ridges and sideslopes.
Permeability is moderately slow.
These soils formed in residuum from soft calcareous shale, siltstone, and limestone. Slopes range from 2 to 60 percent. Solum thickness ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Depth to soft calcareous rocks is 40 to 60 inches or more. Coarse fragments of chert, soft limestone, shale, or siltstone range from 0 to 10 percent in the solum, and from 0 to 35 percent in the C horizon.
