Tuscarora Soil Names

During the three years of fieldwork performed by the TEP and the NRCS, several new map units of soils were identified. These new units went under national peer review by soil scientists across the U.S. and were given the Tuscarora names we have developed for them:

 

Hilton:  XHmA, XHmB, XHmC  -  Yune?nyeti  -  Ridge "it-hill-extends"

 

Madelin:  Xma  -  Uwihreh  -  swamp, bog, dam

 

Ovid:  XOwa, XowB  -  Nuhi  -  Red-stemmed Dogwood
