Deep gullies cut into bare red clay, with pines standing along the rim, make the erosion in this view hard to miss. Red subsoil like this is common across the Southern Piedmont, where decades of intensive row cropping stripped away the topsoil and left the clay exposed to heavy rain. By the 1930s, gullies like this one had become a national concern, and the federal Soil Conservation Service, created in 1935, promoted terracing, contour plowing and replanting to slow the damage. Images such as this were often used to document the problem.
