The poorly drained Ashkum and Pewamo soils are in depressions and drainageways. The Beecher soils have a darker colored surface layer and are on similar nearby landforms. The moderately well drained Glynwood soils and well drained Lybrand and Morley soils are nearby on slightly higher or more sloping parts of the landform. Somewhat poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is low to medium.
Permeability is slow.
