The very poorly drained Hoytville soils are on flats and in depressions on the lake plain. The somewhat poorly drained Haskins soils are on slight rises. The well drained Shawtown soils are on backslopes of more sloping beach ridges and offshore bars. Moderately well drained. A perched water table is at 1 to 2 feet between January and April in most years.
Permeability is moderate in the upper part of the solum and slow or very slow in the substratum.
Index surface runoff class is negligible to low. Cygnet soils are cultivated. Corn, soybeans, small grains and hay are the principal crops. A small proportion is in woodland. The original vegetation is deciduous forest, primarily ash, beech, elm and maple.
