Minnith soils have 20 to 40 inches of loess and are greater than 60 inches to sandstone bedrock. Ramsey soils are less than 20 inches to sandstone bedrock. All are on landscape positions similar to the Pevely series. Moderately well drained. Runoff is moderate to high.
Permeability is moderately rapid.
A water table is perched immediately above the bedrock contact for brief periods in late winter and early spring. Most areas remain in native hardwood timber, some areas are cleared for pasture or hay. Native vegetation is mixed grasses and hardwood deciduous trees. The series is of small extent.
