Soils:
Most of the soils are Udalfs. They are deep and medium textured to moderately fine textured and have a mesic temperature regime, an udic moisture regime, and mixed mineralogy. Well drained and moderately well drained Hapludalfs (Alford, Fayette, Menfro, Muren, Weller, and Winfield series) are in silty loess; other Hapludalfs (Gara, Hickory, Keswick, and Lindley series) are in glacial till; and still others (Bloomfield and Princeton series) are in sandy aeolian material. Well drained and moderately well drained Fragiudalfs (Grenada, Hatton, and Hosmer series) are on ridgetops in silty material. Well drained, cherty Paleudalfs (Goss series) weathered from cherty limestone. Somewhat excessively drained shallow Hapludolls (Gasconade series) are on steep slopes. Udifluvents (Eel, Genesee, Haymond, Nodaway, and Sharon series), Fluvaquents (Piopolis, Shoals, and Wakeland series), Haplaquolls (Beaucoup, Darwin, and Wabash series), and Hapludolls (Leta series) are on flood plains.
