Slopes range from 0 to 6 percent. They formed in outwash that is high in quartz. The well drained competing Boyer soils, the somewhat poorly drained Wasepi soils, and the very poorly drained Gilford soils are in the same drainage sequence. The competing Coloma, Kalamazoo, Oshtemo, and Spinks soils are on nearby outwash plains and valley trains, and the competing Coloma, Elmdale, and Hillsdale soils are on nearby low moraines. Moderately well drained.
Surface runoff is slow.
Permeability is moderately rapid in the A and B horizons and very rapid in the 2C horizon. A large amount is cropped to beans, corn, hay, and small grains. Lesser amounts are in permanent pasture or woodland. The original vegetation was forest of basswood, beech, hickories, maples, and oaks. The series is of moderate extent.
