Tetonka soils have an E horizon and are in shallow depressions. Whitewood soils have a fine-silty particle size control section and are found in drainageways. Poorly drained and very poorly drained. Surface runoff is ponded. These soils receive runoff water from adjacent soils.
Permeability is slow.
Wetness is attributed to ponding of water after heavy rains. The water table is between 3 feet above the surface and 1 foot below the surface in the spring and early summer. Mainly used for native hay and pasture. Areas successfully drained are used in production of small grain and corn. Native vegetation is mainly rivergrass, sloughsedge, and reedgrasses.
