The poorly drained, coarse-loamy Cable soils are in nearby depressional areas. On nearby slopes, where the glacial drift is more gravelly and cobbly, are the somewhat excessively drained Elderon soils and the well drained Keweenaw soils. On adjacent outwash areas are the well drained Rosholt soils. In some nearly level areas are the somewhat poorly drained Hatley soils. Surface runoff is slow to rapid.
Permeability is moderate in the solum and moderate or moderately rapid in the substratum.
Some areas are cleared and used for growing hay, corn for silage, and small grain but most areas are in pasture or woodland. Native vegetation was mixed coniferous and deciduous forests of northern red oak, sugar maple, American basswood, white ash, bigtooth aspen, quaking aspen, American elm, yellow birch, and black cherry. This soil is of large extent. Langlade County, Wisconsin, 1947.
