The poorly drained Belleville soils are in a drainage sequence with the somewhat poorly drained Wixom soils. Ithaca soils are on areas where the sandy materials are less than 20 inches thick. The Pipestone soils are on areas where the sandy sediments are thicker than 40 inches. Somewhat poorly drained. Potential surface runoff negligible or very low.
Permeability is rapid in the sandy material and moderately slow in the loamy material.
About 80 percent of this soil is cultivated or is in pasture. The remainder is in woodland. Corn, oats, wheat, and legume hay are the major crops. Native vegetation was mixed hardwood, predominantly American elm, white ash, and swamp white oak. Southern half of Lower Michigan.
