Soco and Stringer soils have a paralithic contact. Yalesville soils have hue of 5YR or redder in the B and C horizons. Chatfield soils are nearly level to very steep, and are on convex to plane glaciated upland landscapes. The soils formed in a moderately thick mantle of glacial till overlying granite, gneiss, or schist bedrock. Slopes range from 0 to 70 percent.
Rock outcrops are rare to common and are limited to the more resistant bedrock.
Elevation ranges from 100 to 1,000 feet above sea level. These are the Brookfield , Charlton , Narragansett , and Paxton soils and their wetter associates on nearby landscapes where the soil mantle is deeper than 40 inches. Hollis soils are shallow to bedrock and are on nearby ridge crests and areas adjacent to rock outcrops. Well to somewhat excessively drained. Runoff is medium to very rapid, and permeability is moderate or moderately rapid.
