Adams and Colton soils are more acid and have strongly expressed spodic horizon. In addition, Adams soils have a sandy particle-size control section. The moderately well drained Coveytown soils, the somewhat poorly drained Fahey soils, and the poorly drained and very poorly drained Cook soils are in adjacent lower areas and form a drainage sequence with Trout River soils. Kalurah and Pyrities soils are on nearby glacial till plains. The potential for surface runoff ranges from negligible to high.
Permeability is rapid throughout the soil.
Cleared areas are used for pasture, hay, or corn for silage. A significant acreage is idle and is reverting to woodland. Native vegetation is sugar maple, American beech, birch, eastern white pine, and red spruce. MLRA's 142 and 143. The series is of small extent.
