The very poorly drained Westland soils are in depressions. Somewhat poorly drained. Runoff is slow. Permeability is moderate in the loamy material and very rapid in the underlying gravelly and sandy outwash. An intermittent high water table is at 0.5 to 1.5 feet during the winter and early spring.
Native vegetation is deciduous forest.
Series is of moderate extent. Carroll County, Indiana, 1955. Loamy and till substratum phases have been recognized and will probably become new series as subsets of soil surveys with these phases are updated.
