Abram and Thorndike soils are shallower to bedrock and are on higher knolls within the landscape. Bangor and Plaisted soils are in deeper pockets in the bedrock. Dixmont and Howland soils are more than 40 inches to bedrock and are located in positions down slope that receive runoff. Monarda soils are more than 40 inches to bedrock, poorly drained and located in concave positions below the bedrock controlled knolls. Winnecook soils are on similar positions but have more rock fragments.
Permeability is moderate throughout the soil.
Cleared areas are used for potatoes, oats, corn silage, hay or pasture. Other areas have reverted to forest or were left in forest. Major tree species include red maple, red spruce, white spruce, balsam fir, paper birch, yellow birch, and some eastern white pine, sugar maple and northern white cedar. The series is of moderate extent. Piscataquis County, Maine, Southern Part, 1994.
