The general types of soils found in Tequesta and their characteristics are as
follows:
AU - Arents-Urban land eeoplex. This complex consists of nearly level, somewhat
poorly drained, sandy soils and Urban land. The soils formed in thick layers of
sandy fill material that were placed over low, wet mineral soils to make the
areas suitable for urban use. This complex is in the eastern part of the survey
area and takes in golf courses, subdivisions, condominium developments, road-
ways, business or industrial areas, reclaimed borrow pits, and other areas
filled over but not yet developed.
No one pedon represents this mapping unit, buy the surface layer of one of the
more common ones is dark gray and dark grayish brown sand, mixed with other sha-
des of gray and brown, about 4 inches thick. Below this there is a layer of
mottled brown sand about 20 inches thick. It has comi.on weakly cemented
fragments or strong brown, black, or dark reddish brown sand. Between depths of
24 and 60 inches are layers of light gray and dark gray sand that have a few
thin lenses and mottles in shades of gray and brown.
This complex is about 60 to 75 percent Arents and 25 to 40 percent Urban land.
Arents consist of lawns, vacant lots, golf courses, undeveloped areas, and other
open land. Urban land consists of areas covered by streets, sidewalks, parking
lots, buildings, and other structures. The percentage of *rents and Urban land
varies.
Included with this complex in mapping are areas of better drained soils, soils
that have a higher content of shells in some layers, and a fete soils that have
limestone at a depth of less than 50 inches. Also included are small areas of
soils, near the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Worth, that have a layer of marl
or organic material below a depth of 20 inches.
The soil material is generally rapidly permeable in all layers. The available
water cempacity is low or very low. The organic-matter content and natural fer-
tility are low in most places.
Da - Basinger fine sand. This is a nearly level, poorly drained, deep, sandy
soil in broad grassy sloughs in the eastern part of the county. This soil has
the pedon described as representative of the series. The water table is within
10 inches of the surface for 2 to 6 months in most years and within 10 to 30
inches for the rest-of the year.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of l4yakka, Lm okalee,
Pompano, Anclote, and Placid soils. Also included are some areas where the soil
has a thin layer of organic material on the surface and a few places where a
loamy substratum is deep in the soil.
'The natural vegetation is St. Johnsuorth slash pine, southern bayberry, and
scattered cypress; pineland three-awn, blue .aindencane, broomsedge biuestea,
and low panicua grasses. Most areas of this oil are In native vegetation or
improved pasture. A few areas are used for vegetables. Some large areas that
were once cropped have been idle for years.
Unless drained, this soil is not suited to cultivated crops. If drained and
intensively managed, it is moderately well suited to vegetables. Providing a
well designed, constructed, and maintained water control system that maintains
the level of the water table and provides subsurface irrigation Is a major con-
cern of management. frequent applications of fertilizer and lime are needed.
This soil is poorly suited to citrus. Because It is in low-lying positions and
normally has a high water table, water control is difficult. A well-designed
water control system and bedding are needed if citrus.Is planted, and frequent
applications of fertilizer are needed. Maintaining fertility Is difficult
because the soil is sandy and low in natural fertility. During dry periods,
irrigation is needed to Insure good yields.
If intensively managed, this soil is well suited to improved pasture of grass or
grass and clover. Providing a water control system that is less intensive but
Is otherwise similar to that required for cultivated crops, applying fertilizer
and lime as needed, and carefully controlling grazing are major management con-
cerns.
FLU-9
•
•
Bn - Beaches consist of narrow strips of tide-washed sand along the At1anti
coast line. They range from less than 100 feet to more than 500 feet in width',
but most are less than 200 feet wide. As much as half of the beach nay be
covered by water during daily high tides, and all of the beach auy be covered
during storm periods. The shape and slope of the beaches may change with every
storm. Most beaches have a uniform, gentle slope up to the edge of the water.
Others have wavebuilt ridges that have short, stronger slopes, ranging to 8 per-
cent or more. There are a few shallow inland swales. Most areas have no vege-
tation, but the inland edge may be sparsely covered with moonvine, railroad
vine, sea oats, and seashore bermudagrass. Depth to the water table is highly
variable, depending on the distance from the water, the height of the beach, the
effect of storms, or the time of year. The depth to the water table ranges from
0 to 6 feet or more, depending on time and place.
Beaches are frequently mixed and reworked by waves. They are fine or compact
near the edge of the water, but the drier sands further back are louse. Beaches
consist of pale brown to light gray sand grains of uncoated quartz and are mixed
with multicolored, 'sand-shed to I-inch shell fragments. Few to many coarsen
shell fragments occur in all parts of the soil. Some areas have pockets or len-
ses of conqulna shell; other areas consist of large shell fragments and little
or no sand. Rock outcrops are scattered throughout. Some are at the edge of
the water and act as a barrier to each incoming wave, for example, at the north
survey area line and at the Singer Island area. Others are submerged and
exposed only at low tides, for example, at Lake Worth and Boca Raton beaches.
Beaches are not suited to crops or pasture. They are suited mainly to
recreation use and wildlife habitat and have great esthetic value.
Im - Inaokalee fine sand. This is a nearly level, poorly drained, deep, sandy
soil that has a 'dark colored layer below a depth of 30 inches that is weakly
cemented with organic matter. This soil is in broad flatwood areas in the
eastern part of the survey area. It has the pedon described as representative
of the series. Under natural conditions, the water table is within 10 inches of
the surface for 2 to I months during wet periods, within 10 to 40 inches for 8
months or more in most years, but it is below 40 inches in dry periods.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Myakka, Basinger, Wabasso,
and Oldsmar soils.
The natural vegetation is slash pine, saw-palmetto, inkberry, fetterbush, pine-
land three-awn, and many other grasses. Most areas of this soil are in native
vegetation, but there are some areas in improved grass pasture and cultivated
crops.
This soil is moderately well suited to vegetables if irrigation water is
available. Intensive management and a very careful control of the water table
level are necessary. A drainage system and a subsurface irrigation system that
provides rapid removal of excess water in rainy periods and a means of irriga-
tion in dry period; should be carefully designed, installed, and maintained.
Application of fertilizer and lime is needed.
This soil is poorly suited to citrus because of poor drainage, rapid leaching of
plant nutrients, and droughtiness in dry periods. If the groves are well
managed and there is a properly designed water control system, citrus trees can
be grown successfully.
A drainage system that removes excess water during wet periods allows for a
high-quality pasture of improved grasses. Large applications of fertilizer and
lime are required. If Irrigated, clover can be grown with grasses.
Mu - Hyakka-Orban land complex. This complex consists of Myakka sand and Urban
land. About 25 to 50 percent of the complex is covered by streets, sidewalks,
driveways, houses, and other structures. About 40 to 65 percent of the complex
consists of open land such as lawns, vacant lots, and playgrounds. These areas
are made up mainly of nearly level, poorly drained Myakka sand, which has been
modified in most places by spreading about 12 inches of sandy fill material on
the original surface. Myakka sand has a pedon similar to that described as
representative of the series.
•
Included in mapping are Imssokalee, Basinger, and Pompano soils, all of which
have sandy fill material over the original surface.
FLU-10
The percentage of jrt:an area and open land varies. Most areas nave been drained
to some degree by a system of canals art ditches, and the water- table generally
Is at a greater depth than is typical for Myakka soils. Following heavy rains,
the water table may rise to within 10 inches of the surface for periods of up to
1 month.
Present land use precludes use for farming.
PbB - Pala Beach-Urban land compels. This complex consists of Palm Beach sand
and Urban land. About 50 to 70 percent of the complex Is open land, such as
lawns, vacant lots, and undeveloped areas. These areas are made up of nearly
level to sloping, excessively drained, Palm Beach sand that has been graded and
leveled in many places for urban development. The original soil has a pedon
similar to that described as representative of the series. About 30 to 50 per-
cent of the complex is covered by sidewalks, streets, parking lots, buildings,
and other structures.
Included with the open areas of this complex in mapping are small areas of
Canaveral sand that has fill material on the original surface in many places.
Some of this fill material comes from the adjacent, higher Palm Beach sand
during the process of leveling.
The percentage of open land and urban areas varies. A few narrow coastal ridges
of Palm Beach sand remain undeveloped, but the amount or such land is being con-
tinually reduced by urban expansion.
PeB - Paola sand, 0 to 8 percent slopes. This nearly level to sloping, excessi-
vely drained, deep, sandy soil has yellowish layers beneath the white subsurface
layer. It is on long, narrow dunelike ridges near the Atlantic coast. It has
the pedon described as representative of the series. The water table is below a
depth or 6 feet.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of St. Lucie, Palm Beach, and
Pomello soils; soils that lack the thick, white, subsurface layer; and soils
that have the yellowish layer at a depth greater than that described for Poala
sand.
The natural vegetation is sand pine and an undergrowth of scrub oak, palmetto,
and rosemary. The surface is sparsely covered by grasses, cacti, mosses, and
lichens. Large areas are in native vegetation. Some areas are cleared and
smoothed for urban use.
This soil Is not suited- to vegetables and most cultivated crops because it is
groughty and has many other poor soil qualities. It is moderately well suited
to citrus. In citrus groves, a cover crop of weeds and grasses is needed to
keep the soil between the trees from blowing. Tillage should be kept to a mini-
mum. Sprinkle irrigation is needed to insure the survival of young trees and a
good yield of fruit from mature trees.
This soil is poorly suited to improved pasture of bahlagrass and other deep-
rooted grasses. In such pastures, frequent application of fertilizer and care-
fully controlled grazing are needed.
QAB - Quartzipsaernents, shaped. This mapping unit consists of nearly level to
gently sloping, well drained, deep, sandy soils In areas where natural soils
have been altered by cutting down ridges and spreading the soil material over
adjacent lower soils, by filling low areas above natural ground level, and by
filling and shaping soil material to ton golf courses. The sandy fill material
may be hauled In from a distant source but Is generally obtained at the site by
dredging nearby water areas or by excavating to create water areas. The water
table is below a depth of 60 inches.
No one pedon represents this mapping unit, but of one of the mast common the
surface layer Is dark grayish brown sand about 6 Inches thick. Next, stratified
layers of gray, grayish brown, light gray, light brownish gray, and white sane
in any sequence and of variable thickness are between a depth of 6 and 32
inches. Below this there is a layer of strong brown sand about 10 inches thick
that has a few dark reddish brown fragments of weakly cemented sand. The next

ScB - St. Lucie sand, 0 to 8 percent slopes. This nearly level to sloping,
excessively drained, deep, sandy soil is oolong narrow, dune-like coastal
ridges and on isolated knolls. This soil has the pedon described as represen-
tative of the series. The water table is below a depth of 6 feet.
Included with this soil In mapping are small areas of Paola, Palm Beach, and
Pomello soils. Also Included are small areas of soils that have either a dark-
colored, organic-stained layer, or a brownish yellow, Iron-stained layer within
a depth of 80 inches. In a few places are soils that have a seasonally high
water table within a depth of 6 feet.
The natural vegetation is sand pine, scrub oak, sawpalmetto, rosemary, cacti,
reindeer moss, and sparse clumps of pineland three-awn and natalgrass. Large
areas are in native vegetation, and some areas have been cleared for future -
urban development.
This soil is not suited to vegetables and other cultivated crops, improved
pasture, or citrus.
SuB - St. Lucie-Urban land complex. This complex consists of St. Lucie sand and
Urban land. About 50 to 70 percent of this complex is open land, such as lawns,
vacant lots, and playgrounds. These areas are made up of nearly level to
sloping, excessively drained St. Lucie soils. In places, these soils have been
modified by cutting, grading, or shaping for urban development. 30 to 50
percent of the About

The rest of the complex is made up of Paola and Pomello soils. These soils may
also be modified Ln places, but the pedons are similar to that described as
representative of their respective series. The percentage of urban areas and
open land varies.
Present land use precludes use of this complex for farming.
TH - Tidal swamp, mineral, is nearly level, very poorly drained, sandy material
that supports a dense growth of mangrove trees. It is only near the coast along
the Intracoastal Waterway, around the edges of Lake Worth, and along the edges
of the Loxahatchee River. and its tributaries. It consists of sandy marine yeti- •
ments that are flooded by salt or brackish water during daily high tides.
Permeability is rapid in all layers. The available water capacity is high in
the surface layer and low below that. 'Natural fertility is low.
The surface layer is black, very dark gray, or very dark grayish brown and is 10
inches or more thick. It is mucky sand or mucky loamy sand. Reaction ranges
from slightly acid to strongly alkaline, In many places, the surface layer is
fibrous muck 4 to 6 inches thick.
The underlying material is black, very dark gray, very dark grayish brown, dark
gray, gray, grayish brown, or brown sand, fine sand, or loamy sand. Reaction
ranges from extremely acid to mildly alkaline. In places, the content of shell
fragments ranges to 10 percent.

Ur- Urban land conslts of areas that are 60 to more than 75 percent covered with
streets, buildings, large parking lots, shopping centers, industrial parks,
airports, and related facilities. Other areas, mostly lawns, parks, vacant
lots, and playgrounds, are generally altered to such an extent that the former
soils cannot be easily recognized and are in tracts too small to be mapped
separately.
