The moderately well drained Hudson soils are on nearby lake plains. The well drained Lansing soils and the moderately well drained Langford and Nunda soils are on higher landscape positions. Remsen soils have a higher clay content in the subsoil and are on similar landscape positions. Somewhat poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff ranges from low to very high.
Permeability is moderately slow in the subsoil and slow in the substratum.
