Other associated soils include Boston and Grayford soils, which have a lower solum from fine-textured limestone residuum within 42 inches. The Jonesboro soils do not have a fragipan and occupy similar landscape positions. Loudon soils do not have a fragipan and have a fine-textured lower solum derived from calcareous shale. Nearby soils on steeper slopes, include Morrisville and Edenton soils which do not have a fragipan and are underlain by residuum from bedrock and Eden and Fairmount soils which formed in bedrock and lack a mantle of loess and glacial till. Moderately well drained.
Surface runoff ranges from slow to rapid depending upon slope.
Permeability is moderate above the fragipan and moderately slow or slow in the fragipan. Much of the area of Rossmoyne soils is used for general farming. Cultivated crops are mainly corn, wheat, soybeans, grass and legumes, and tobacco. Some Rossmoyne soils are used for pasture or woodland, and a small portion is idle. Native vegetation consisted of deciduous hardwoods including beech, white and red oaks, maple, hickory, and tulip poplar.
