Wallace soils are on dunes, and outwash plains. Slopes range from 0 to 60 percent. The somewhat poorly drained Finch and poorly drained Spot and Roscommon soils are in lower landscape positions and form a drainage sequence with the Wallace soils. Kalkaska and Rubicon soils do not contain more than 50 percent ortstein and are on similar landscape positions. The organic Tawas soils are in adjacent depressions and drainageways.
Surface runoff is slow.
Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid in the ortstein layer and rapid throughout the remainder of the soil. Wallace soils are almost entirely in second growth woodland and support stands of sugar maple and red maple, red pine and eastern white pine, eastern hemlock, balsam fir, quaking aspen, and white birch. The series is of small extent. In some pedons the Bhsm has weak granular structure, this needs to be considered when this seriesis revised.
