About Wyman
Deep, well drained soils formed in alluvium derived from mixed granitic, volcanic, and metamorphic rock sources. Found on alluvial fans and valley floors at the base of the Sierra Nevada and White-Inyo Mountains, slopes of 0 to 5 percent.
K-factor values are sourced from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO database.
California Distribution
Characteristic of the Owens Valley alluvial fan system in Inyo County, also present in Mono County. Historically irrigated for alfalfa and pasture; water rights transfers to LADWP dramatically reduced agricultural use.
