Martinton soils have mollic epipedons. The Camden, Saylesville, and Zurich soils are better drained, contain less clay in the control section, and are on higher landform positions. The poorly drained and very poorly drained Milford soils are on nearby nearly level or depressional parts of glacial lake plains and have a mollic epipedon. Somewhat poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is negligible to very high.
Permeability is slow.
The perched seasonal high water table is at a depth of 0.5 to 2.0 feet below the surface during January and May in most years. Many areas of this soil are used to grow crops. Corn, soybeans, and small grain are the principal crops. Other areas are used for pasture. Native vegetation is hardwood forest.
