The moderately well drained Birkbeck soils are on higher topographic positions. The somewhat poorly drained Fincastle and moderately well drained Xenia soils are on nearby areas that have thinner loess mantle. The poorly drained Ragsdale and Whitson soils are on nearby landscapes that have a thicker mantle of loess or other silty sediments. Somewhat poorly drained. Surface runoff potential is negligible to medium.
Permeability is moderate in the solum and moderately slow or slow in the substratum.
