The typical slope gradients range from 3 to 15 percent with an extreme range of 0 to 60 percent. The somewhat poorly drained Capac and the poorly drained Parkhill soils are in a drainage sequence with Marlette soils. Owosso and Metea soils are associated soils with sand to sandy loam upper horizons. Well drained and moderately well drained. The moderately well drained phase has a seasonal high water table at a depth of 2.5 to 6.0 feet below the surface from December to April.
Surface runoff is medium to very rapid, depending upon slope.
Permeability is moderately slow. Most areas are cropped to corn, beans, wheat, and grass-legume hay. A small part, usually the steeper areas, is in pasture or hardwood forest. Soils of this series are of large extent. Sanilac County, Michigan, 1955.
