Very poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is low or negligible. Most Muskego soils have an apparent water table from 1 foot above the surface to 1 foot below the surface in most years for much of the period from November to August. Some Muskego soils have an apparent water table from 3 feet to 1 foot above the surface in most years for much of the period from January to December. Most areas remain in natural vegetation and provide wildlife habitat.
Natural vegetation is dominantly grasses, reeds, and sedges with scattered hardwoods.
A few areas have been drained and are used cropland. The Muskego soils are of moderate extent. Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, 1971.
