No information is available at this time to differentiate the Mt. Zion series from Montauk. Montauk soils are on glaciated uplands and moraines. Slopes range form 0 to 35 percent. The landscape in some areas has many closed depressions, some of which are filled by perennial ponds or wet spots. The soils formed in thick moderately coarse or medium textured glacial till mantles underlain by firm sandy till.
Some areas have very stony or extremely stony surfaces.
The climate is humid and cool temperate. Elevation ranges from 10 to 400 feet above sea level. The potential for runoff is low to high. Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid in the solum and slow or moderately slow in the substratum. Many of the nearly level and gently sloping areas are cleared and used for production of potatoes and vegetable crops, hay, silage corn and pasture.
