The Adams, Allagash, Colton and Stetson soils are in similar positions on the landscape. Adams and Allagash soils have less than 20 percent rock fragments, Colton soils have a loamy cap less than 10 inches thick, and Stetson soils have a loamy cap greater than 17 inches thick. Bucksport and Wonsqueak soils are organic soils in adjacent bogs. Fryeburg and Ondawa soils are on nearby flood plains. Sheepscot and Machias soils are moderately well drained and are in lower positions on the landscape.
Surface runoff is slow or medium depending on slope and thickness of the O horizon.
Permeability is moderately rapid in the loamy cap and is rapid or very rapid below. Common tree species include white and red spruce, red pine, eastern white pine, balsam fir, paper birch, sugar maple, yellow birch, northern white cedar. The series is of moderate extent.
