Wakonda soils are fine-silty, have calcic horizons, and are on slightly higher positions adjacent to the Baltic soils. The somewhat poorly drained Whitewood soils are fine-silty and are in upland swales and drainageways. Poorly drained and very poorly drained. There is little or no surface runoff unless artificially drained. These soils pond or flood from surface runoff from adjacent slopes.
Permeability is slow.
A water table fluctuates between 2 feet above the surface to 2 feet below the soil surface. Mostly used for native hay and pasture. A few drained areas are used to grow corn and small grain. Native vegetation is mainly prairie cordgrass, reedgrasses, rivergrass, forbs, sedges, and other grass-like plants. Series is of moderate extent.
