The end of the drumlin field completes this unit to the south. A drumlin field dominates this subsection. The drumlins trend southwest-northeast with very poorly drained organic soils in between. Topography is rolling, almost like a big washboard. White pine, white spruce, and aspen-birch were most common in the overstory of this dominantly forested region.
Soils are medium to coarse textured.
They formed from glacial till deposited by the Superior and Rainy lobes of the latest glacial period. Forestry is the most common landuse today. This unit mainly consists of a drumlin field. The drumlins are oriented in a southwest-northeast direction with rivers and streams flowing southwest. Interdrumlin areas are usually poorly or very poorly drained, and support either conifer swamps or bogs.
