MLRA 153A - Atlantic Coast Flatwoods Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia 73,760 km2 (28,480 mi2)

Soils:
Soils having restricted drainage are dominant throughout the area. Most extensive are Aquults. They have a thermic temperature regime and an aquic moisture regime. They are deep and medium textured to fine textured. Paleaquults (Rains, Coxville, and Lynchburg series) and Ochraquults (Rembert series) are most common. The Paleaquults (Byars, Bayboro, and Pantego series) and Umbraquults (Paxville series) are on associated wetter sites. Hapludults and Paleudults (Goldsboro, Persanti, Bertie, Johns, Kempsville, Suffolk, and Foreston series) are on higher sites where drainage is somewhat better. Other locally important soils are Haplaquods (Leon, Mascotte, and Lynn Haven series), Quartzipsamments (Lakeland series), and Paleudults (Blanton and Troup series). Histosols occupy fairly large areas, especially in the Okefenokee Swamp of Georgia and Florida.
