Some ridge areas and upper side slopes have karst topography. Eden, Faywood, and Lowell soils lack mollic epipedons, and have argillic horizons. Eden soils have paralithic contact at 20 to 40 inches, and Faywood soils have lithic contact at 20 to 40 inches. Lowell soils are more than 40 inches to bedrock. McAfee soils have argillic horizons with redder hue and lithic contact at 20 to 40 inches.
Steep slopes are in woods.
Some ridges and upper slopes are used for pasture, but many are in second growth woods or brush. Woodlands have elm, hackberry, redbud, black and honey locust, red oak, and red cedar at the dominate species. The extent is large. Lithic Contact at 17 inches.
