The Crouse soils are on sideslopes and foot slopes on terminal moraines. The soils formed in a thin layer of loess and recent Wisconsinan till over older Wisconsinan till mixed with Illinoian till. Slope ranges from 6 to 50 percent. The well drained, moderately deep to dense till Miamian soils occur on ridgetops and similar positions. The well drained Russell and moderately well drained Xenia soils have thicker loess mantles and are on ridgetops.
Permeability is moderate.
Depth to the top of an intermittent perched high water table ranges from 3.5 to 4 feet from January through May in most years. Surface runoff potential is medium to very high. Crouse soils are cultivated or pastured. Some areas are wooded. Principal crops are corn and soybeans.
