Captina Silt Loam
The Captina series consists of moderately well drained, level to gently sloping soils
on low terraces along Floyds Fork and along large creeks in the limestone area. The
average is moderate. These soils formed in old alluvium that washed from soils of
limestone origin. They have a compact, brittle fragipan at a depth that ranges from
18 to 26 inches.
