These include Brasstown , Brookshire , Cataska , Cheoah , Citico , Jeffrey , Junaluska , Maymead , Santeetlah , Soco , and Stecoah soils. None of these soils are in a loamy-skeletal family. Brookshire, Citico, Maymead, and Santeetlah soils formed in colluvium in coves. The other soils formed in residuum on locally higher ridges and side slopes. Runoff class is medium on strongly sloping or moderately steep slopes, and high on steeper slopes Runoff is much lower where forest litter has little or no disturbance.
Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid.
These soils are in forest consisting chiefly of poplar, red oak, white oak, basswood, hickory, sugar maple, yellow birch, black cherry, black oak, silverbell, white pine, and hemlock. The Unaka Mountain range in Tennessee and in other areas within MLRA 130 in North Carolina, Virginia and possibly Georgia. The series is of large extent. Spivey soils formerly have been included in the Tusquitee, Hayter, and Barbourville series. This latest revision places Spivey soils in an isotic mineralogy class.
