The reports of J. M. Taylor, M.D., Corinth, 1884, states the primary subsoil of the Corinth area is yellowish or pale-red clay 10 to 20 feet thick, underneath the sandy loam soil of 3 to 4 inches thick. This could be what is referred to as 'orange dirt', in areas of high irrosion. I know the area has many 'bald' areas where nothing grows and I do remember seeing red clay somewhere to the northwest of Corinth.
