Healing soils typically have redder B horizons and contain pebbles in the lower B and C horizons. Lycurgus, Meadowbank, Tecumseh and Wakenda soils have a solum more than 40 inches thick and are in an area with higher precipitation. Mendota soils have glacial till within a depth of 40 inches. Ogle soils have a lower solum formed in glacial till. Ripon soils have limestone bedrock within 40 inches.
Waupecan soils have a drier control section and formed in sandy and gravelly outwash.
Wiota soils have thicker mollic epipedons and contain more clay in the C horizons. Malcolm soils are on uplands and formed in noncalcareous, interglacial sediments of Aftonian age. This soil occurs as transition between the loess and till in dissected loess mantled till plains. This soil occurs on gently sloping to steep slopes. Slope gradients range from 5 to 25 percent.
