Conover soils typically are on low parts of moraines and till plains. Slopes range from 0 to about 6 percent, and dominant slopes are from 1 to 4 percent. The poorly drained Brookston and well drained Miami soils are in a drainage sequence with the Conover soils, and they are the most common associates. The very poorly drained organic Carlisle soils are in depressions. Somewhat poorly drained.
Surface runoff ranges from slow to medium.
Permeability is moderate or moderately slow. Largely under cultivation. Corn, beans, small grain, and legume-grass hay are the major crops. A small part is in forest. Native vegetation was hardwood forest.
