Some pedons have a silty mantle that ranges from 0 to 20 inches in thickness. These are the Fox , Matherton , Warsaw , and Will soils. The well drained Fox and Warsaw soils form a biosequence with Dresden soils and are on similar parts of the landform. The somewhat poorly drained Matherton soils and the poorly drained Will soils are on lower positions on the landform. The potential for surface runoff is slow to rapid.
Permeability is moderate in the solum and very rapid in the underlying material.
Most areas are cultivated. Corn, soybeans, small grain, and meadow are the principal crops. Native vegetation was mixed hardwood trees and prairie grasses.
