The Beaver Creek Watershed (BCW) contains three among the six most abundant soil orders present in Domain 13, including: Alfisols, Inceptisols, and Mollisols. According to the U.S. General Soils Map, the BCW contains eight different soil types. Although the watershed's area represents only 0.2% of Domain 13, these same eight soil types cover 2.1% of Domain 13's aerial extent (NRCS Soils Webpage).
