Very poorly drained. Depth to the seasonal high water table ranges from 2 foot above the surface in ponded phases to 1 foot below the surface from September to June. The potential for surface runoff is very slow or ponded. Permeability is moderately slow to moderately rapid. A considerable area of these soils is used for cropland or pasture.
Common crops are onions, lettuce, potatoes, celery, radishes, carrots, mint, and some corn.
Native vegetation was primarily of marsh grasses, sedges, reeds, buttonbrush, and cattails. Some water-tolerant trees were near the margin of the bog. Southern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois. The series is of large extent. Roscommon County, Michigan, 1924.
