The Jonesboro soils do not have a fragipan and occupy similar landscape positions. Loudon soils do not have a fragipan and have a fine-textured lower solum derived from calcareous shale. Nearby soils on steeper slopes, include Morrisville and Edenton soils which do not have a fragipan and are underlain by residuum from bedrock and Eden and Fairmount soils which formed in bedrock and lack a mantle of loess and glacial till. Moderately well drained. Surface runoff ranges from slow to rapid depending upon slope.
Permeability is moderate above the fragipan and moderately slow or slow in the fragipan.
