Corydon Silt Loam

The Corydon series consists of well-drained, sloping to moderately steep soils on limestone hillsides. These soils are in the more dissected areas that cover a broad north-south belt across the center of the county. They are common along Goose Creek, Harrods Creek, and on the Ohio River bluffs northeast of Louisville. Their acreage is moderate.
