Soil and terrain at Santa Fe Lake

Santa Fe Lake is a mountain bike trail network in Wichita, KS. Soil survey coverage is unavailable at the sampled location. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,286 ft, an average terrain slope of 0.3° and a predominant ENE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Loam models conditions across the network; individual trails and constructed surfaces can differ from these environmental inputs. Official closures and conditions on the ground take priority.

How we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilNot surveyed

Soil survey data does not reach this spot, so the drying model assumes middle-of-the-road ground rather than guessing at a soil type. Other inputs still inform the model, but expect the drying estimate here to be less precise than at networks with surveyed soil.

CanopyOpen 10%

Open tree cover can allow more sunlight and wind to reach the ground. Terrain, weather and trail construction also affect drying.

TerrainGentle

Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
