The Adams soils are somewhat excessively drained soils in higher positions on the landscape. The Berkshire soils formed in glacial till on adjacent till plains and ridges. The Charles, Cornish, Fryeburg, and Lovewell soils are on floodplains. The Masardis and Stetson soils are better drained and have more than 35 percent gravel in the particle-size control section. Moderately well and somewhat poorly drained.
Permeability is moderately rapid or rapid.
Most of the soil is wooded. Common tree species include white pine, balsam fir, red spruce, white spruce, and sugar maple. Cleared areas are used mostly for hay and pasture. The series is of small extent. Somerset County, Maine, 1966.
