The excessively drained Finchford soils are nearby on outwash terraces where the soil formed entirely in sandy outwash. Somewhat excessively drained. Permeability is rapid in the sandy mantle, moderate or moderately rapid in the loamy residuum, and slow to moderate in the sandstone. Most areas are used for cropland. Corn, soybeans, small grains, and hay are the principal crops.
Native vegetation is tall grass prairie with a few oak trees.
These soils are of small extent. Prior to 1995, this soil was mapped as Norden, Dark Surface Variant.
