 The Helena series consists of very deep, moderately well drained, slowly permeable soils that formed in residuum weathered from a mixture of
felsic, intermediate, or mafic igneous or high-grade metamorphic rocks such as aplitic granite or granite gneiss that is cut by dykes of gabbro and diorite, or mixed
with hornblende schist or hornblende gneiss. These soils are on broad ridges and toeslopes of the Piedmont uplands. Slope is dominantly between 2 to 10
percent but ranges from 0 to 15 percent. Mean annual precipitation is 46 inches, and mean annual temperature is 61 degrees F, near the type location.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aquic Hapludults
