Soils:
Most of the soils are Aqualfs, Boralfs, Saprists, and Fibrists. The mineral soils are deep and medium textured to fine textured and have a frigid temperature regime and mixed mineralogy. Well drained and moderately well drained, level and gently sloping Eutroboralfs (Baudette and Taylor series) and poorly drained Ochraqualfs (Indus and Spooner series) are in lacustrine materials. Borosaprists (Rondeau and Cathro series) and Sphagnofibrists (Wasish series) formed in organic residues in the wetter depressional parts of the area.
