These soils formed in materials similar to those of the Cordova soils and are members of a hydrosequence with the Cordova soils. The well drained Lester soils are on nearby undulating to hilly slopes. The moderately well to somewhat poorly drained Le Sueur and the somewhat poorly to poorly drained Dundas soils are on nearby higher positions. The poorly drained Webster and Hamel soils and the very poorly drained Glencoe soils are a nearby associate in a few places. Surface runoff is low.
Permeability is moderately slow.
Most of the soil is cleared, drained and cropped to corn and soybeans. A few areas remain in woodlots or permanent pasture. Native vegetation was northern hardwoods, largely basswood, maple, and elm, and an understory of grasses and sedges. Waseca County, Minnesota, 1963.
