Above tie residual EollE and rest
ing upoa the rocks from vhich the
residual soils we're formed are The
glacial soils.
As has already been noted, the
lower portion ut the Glacial deposits
contain considerable amounts Of ne
diuu to coarse ssnd, boulders, and
rock fragments Where the upper
portion o. this glacial material has
been cut away leaving this sander
portion exposed, q sandy loan e
found. Higher I'd the glacial mate
RAJ contains less sand With more
ait and clay, and g loan has been
formed. Above the loan and COW

and that which Is gently undulating,

The soils Of glacial origin are
mach the most important soils d
the county. covering over ninety
per cent Of The area and including
the beg. agricultural Foils o. the
county.
Along all streams Of the area

the streams extend well ont into the
