Climate is humid temperate. Elevation ranges from 250 to 1000 feet above sea level. These are the Dunning , Edwards , Eel , Genesee , Hamlin , Huntington , Lindside , Martisco , Melvin , Teel , and Sloan soils, which range from well drained to very poorly drained and have a calcium carbonate equivalent of less than 40 percent in the mineralogy control section. Very poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is negligible to low.
Permeability is moderate or moderately slow.
Where cleared and drained, the soil is used for growing pasture, some general farm crops and some specialty crops. The wettest areas contain hydrophytic vegetation which often consists of sedges and cattails. Woodlands commonly consist of elm, soft maple, willow, and shrubs tolerant of wet sites. The soil is moderately extensive. Onondaga County, New York, 1903.
