The Amostown series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils formed in loamy glacial outwash overlying lacustrine sediments. They are nearly level to gently sloping soils on terraces, outwash plains, and deltas.
Permeability is moderately rapid in the solum and slow to moderately slow in the substratum.
Slope ranges from 0 to 8 percent. Mean annual temperature is 48 degrees F. and the mean annual precipitation is 47 inches. Amostown fine sandy loam - red pine plantation. Thickness of the solum and depth to the lithologic discontinuity ranges from 22 to 40 inches. Content of fine gravel ranges from 0 to 10 percent in the solum and is absent in the C horizon.
