Chagrin and Lobdell soils are on adjacent flood plains. Chili and Wheeling soils are on nearby gravelly terraces. Nearby upland soils derived from till include Wooster , Rittman , and Ellsworth soils, and members of their drainage sequences. The depth to an intermittent apparent water table is 3.5 to 6 feet between February and March in most years. The gravelly substratum phase does not have a water table within 6 feet.
Permeability is moderate.
The potential for surface runoff is negligible to very high. Areas with slopes less than 18 percent are mostly cleared and used as cropland. Corn, wheat, oats, soybeans and mixed hay are the principal crops. Steeper areas are in woodland or permanent pasture. Original vegetation is deciduous forest.
