Lytell soils are on hillsides and ridgetops and have slopes of 5 to 90 percent. The solum is 40 to 60 inches thick. Depth to partly consolidated bedrock is 40 to more than 70 inches. These soils are strongly acid or very strongly acid throughout. It is 10 to 35 percent soft siltstone fragments.
Texture is clay loam or silty clay loam.
Soft siltstone pebbles, cobbles, and stone-size fragments range from 15 to 85 percent. This is the Elochoman series. Elochoman soils have 0 to 15 percent soft rock fragments in the particle-size control section. Lytell soils are on colluvial hillsides and ridgetops deeply incised by drainages arranged in a weak dendritic pattern. Slopes are 5 to 90 percent.
