Robertsville Silt Loam

The Robertsville series consists of poorly drained alluvial soils on low terraces along Floyds Fork and along large creeks in the limestone area. The acreage is moderately large. These soils formed in old alluvium that washed from soils of limestone origin. They have a brittle, compact fragipan at a depth of 12 to 20 inches.
