Map of Soils (map key of soil types listed below)

 

FcA--Fitchville silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes

This is a deep, nearly level, somewhat poorly drained soil on terraces and in basins of former glacial lakes. Most areas are oblong, broad, or irregular in shape and range from 10 to 200 acres in size.

Typically, the surface layer is dark grayish brown, friable silt loam about 7 inches thick. The subsoil is yellowish brown and dark yellowish brown mottled, friable and firm silt loam and silty clay loam about 52 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of about 69 inches is yellowish brown, friable silt loam.

Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of moderately well drained Glenford soils on slight rises and poorly drained Sebring soils in shallow depressions and along drainageways. The included soils make up about 15 percent of most areas.

A water table is perched between depths of 12 and 30 inches in winter and spring and during other extended wet periods. Permeability is moderately slow. Runoff is slow. The root zone is deep and the available water capacity is high. The subsoil ranges from very strongly acid to medium acid in the upper part and strongly acid to neutral in the lower part.

In most areas this soil is used as cropland. In drained areas it is well suited to cultivated crops, hay, and pasture. Row crops can be grown year after year. Planting is delayed in undrained areas. In undrained areas this soil can be used for water-tolerant grasses and legumes for hay and pasture. Surface drains help remove excess surface water and subsurface drains help lower the water table. This soil is subject to crusting, compaction and hard clodding if tillage or harvesting is done when the soil is wet. Using crop residue and planting cover crops improve the content of organic matter and tilth and increase water infiltration. Because of compaction, grazing should be limited to periods when the surface is not soft and sticky.

The soil is well suited to use as woodland. Species selected for planting should be tolerant of some wetness. Logging and planting can usually be done during the drier part of the year. Spraying, mowing or disking can reduce plant competition.

This soil is not well suited as a site for buildings, recreation uses and most sanitary facilities because of the seasonal high water table, moderately slow permeability and low strength. It is better suited to houses without basements than to houses with basements. Storm sewers and ditches help lower the water table. Drains at the base of footings and coatings on exterior basement walls help prevent wet basements. Local roads can be improved by using artificial drainage and suitable base material to reduce the damage from frost action and improve soil strength. Play areas and walkways need drainage and in some cases special surfacing.

This soil is in capability subclass IIw and in woodland suitability subclass 2o.

 

Wa--Wabasha silty clay loam, ponded

This is a deep, nearly level, very poorly drained soil on flood plains. It is subject to frequent flooding of long duration and is ponded much of the year. The depth of the water fluctuates with the level of the Cuyahoga River. Slope is 0 to 2 percent. Most areas are irregular in shape and range from 5 to 150 acres in size.

Typically, the surface layer is very dark grayish brown and black, friable silty clay loam about 8 inches thick. The subsoil is dark gray and gray, mottled, firm silty clay loam about 37 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of about 65 inches is light olive brown, mottled, firm silty clay. In some areas the surface layer is silty clay or mucky silty clay loam. In a few areas organic material is in the surface layer and the upper part of the subsoil.

Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Carlisle soils that formed in organic material. Also included are small areas of Wallkill soils that have 16 to 40 inches of alluvium over muck. The included soil make up about 20 percent of most areas.

The water table is above and near the surface in fall, winter and spring. Permeability is slow. The depth of rooting of most plants is related to the depth to the water table. The available water capacity is high. The soil puddles and clods easily. The shrink-swell potential is high. The subsoil is slightly acid to mildly alkaline.

In most areas this soil is used as woodland or pasture. This soil is poorly suited to use as cropland and woodland. However, it is suited to habitat for wetland wildlife. Ponding severely limits the use of planting and logging equipment. Species selected for planting should be tolerant of ponding and flooding.

This soil is unsuited as a site for buildings, sanitary facilities and recreation uses. Ponding, flooding, slow permeability and high shrink-swell potential severely limit this soil for these uses. Very few areas have been artificially drained and it is difficult or impossible to locate suitable outlets for drains.

This soil is in capability subclass Vw and in woodland suitability subclass 5w.

 

Or--Orrville silt loam, frequently flooded

This is a deep, nearly level, somewhat poorly drained soil on flood plains. It is frequently flooded for very brief to brief periods in fall, winter, and spring. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent. Most areas are long and narrow and range from 5 to 120 acres.

Typically, the surface layer is dark, grayish brown, friable silt loam about 6 inches thick. The subsoil is about 25 inches thick. It is yellowish brown and grayish brown, friable silt loam and loam that has mottles in the upper part. The substratum to a depth of about 60 inches is gray, friable and loose fine sandy loam, loamy fine sand, and gravelly loamy sand that has mottles in the upper part.

Included with this soil in mapping and making up about 15 percent of most areas are narrow strips of poorly drained Holly and very poorly drained Wabasha soils in slight depressions and old meander channels and well drained Tioga soils on slight rises.

The water table is between depths of 12 and 30 inches in winter and spring and during other extended wet periods. Permeability is moderate. Runoff is slow. The root zone is deep, and the available water capacity is high. Reaction is strongly acid to slightly acid in the surface layer and subsoil, except where lime has been added. The shrink-swell potential is low.

In most areas this soil is used as pasture or woodland. Flooding and seasonal wetness limit farming. Wetness delays planting and limits the choice of crops. Undrained areas can be used for pasture, but maintaining tilth and desirable forage stands is difficult. Drained areas are suited to row crops, corn for example. Surface drainage can be used to remove excess surface water. Subsurface drainage is also needed, but suitable outlets are difficult to establish in some areas. Growing cover crops helps maintain the content of organic matter and protect the surface during flooding.

This soil is well suited to use as woodland. Species selected for planting should be able to withstand flooding and be tolerant of some wetness. Seedlings grow well if competing vegetation is controlled or removed by such practices as spraying, mowing, or disking.

This soil is unsuited as a site for buildings, septic tank absorption fields and most recreation uses because of the flooding hazard and seasonal wetness. During the drier part of the year this soil is suited to some recreation uses, hiking, for example. The use of dikes to control flooding is difficult. Local roads and streets can be improved by using fill to raise the road above the flooding level and a suitable base material to reduce the damage from frost action. Sloughing is a hazard in excavations.

This soil is in capability subclass IIw and in woodland suitability subclass 2o.

 

OsB--Oshtemo sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes

This is a deep, gently sloping, well-drained soil on outwash terraces and kames. Most areas are irregular in shape and range from 3 to 25 acres in size.

Typically, the surface layer is dark, grayish brown, friable sandy loam about 9 inches thick. The subsoil is about 43 inches thick. The upper part is dark brown, friable sandy loam; and the lower part is dark brown, firm sandy clay loam and loose loamy sand. The substratum to a depth of about 66 inches is brown, loose loamy sand and gravelly loamy sand. In some areas the surface layer is loam. In a few areas the subsoil has more gravel and clay.

Permeability is moderately rapid in the upper part of the subsoil and very rapid in the substratum. Runoff is slow. The root zone is deep, and the available water capacity is moderate or low. The surface layer and subsoil are commonly strongly acid to slightly acid. The shrink-swell potential is low.

In most areas this soil is used for cultivated crops. It is well suited to small grains, hay, and early spring pasture. If the soil is irrigated, it is well suited to cultivated and specialty crops. No-till or minimum tillage is a suitable practice. Growth of pasture is slow in summer because the soil is droughty. Deep-rooted plants, for example, alfalfa, make the best growth during dry periods. Using crop residue, growing cover crops, and other management practices conserve moisture, improve tilth, reduce erosion, and maintain the content of organic matter. Because nutrients are moderately rapidly leached, this soil generally responds better to smaller but more frequent, timely applications of fertilizer than to one large application.

This soil is moderately well suited to use as woodland. Machine planting of tree seedlings is practical on this soil. Spraying, mowing or disking can reduce plant competition. Species adapted to dry sites should be selected for planting.

This soil is well suited as a site for buildings, local roads and streets, and most recreation uses. It is poorly suited to some sanitary facilities, especially sewage lagoons and sanitary landfills, because of the possible contamination of ground water. Sloughing is a hazard in excavations. There may be some difficulty establishing a lawn because of the moderate or low available water capacity. This soil is a probable source of sand.

This soil is in capability subclass IIIs and in woodland suitability subclass 3o.

 

Wt--Willette muck, ponded

This is a deep, very poorly drained, level soil in bogs and swales on lake plains and uplands. It is ponded much of the year and is subject to frequent flooding. Slope is 0 to 2 percent. Most areas are oval and range from 3 to100 acres in size.

Typically, the surface layer is black, very friable muck about 10 inches thick. The next layer is black, very friable muck about 12 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of about 60 inches is gray, firm silty clay. In some areas a thinner organic layer is above the mineral material and in other areas the organic layer is thicker.

Included with this soil in mapping and making up about 15 percent of most areas are small areas of Wallkill and Canadice soils.

Water is near the surface and ponds for long periods. Runoff is very slow. Permeability is moderately rapid in the muck layers and slow in the substratum. The content of organic matter is very high. The rooting depth of most plants is related to the depth to the water table. The available water capacity is very high. The subsoil is medium acid to mildly alkaline.

In most areas this soil is in natural vegetation, including sedges and some water-tolerant trees.

This soil is poorly suited to farming because of the very poor natural drainage and ponding. Both ditches and subsurface drains can be used to improve drainage; however, in most areas drainage outlets are difficult to establish. Subsidence or shrinkage occurs after draining. Controlling drainage so that the water table can be raised or lowered helps reduce the amount of shrinkage. In drained areas this soil is suited to some cultivated and specialty crops.

This soil is poorly suited to use as woodland. In undrained areas the soil supports some cattails, reeds, sedges and water-tolerant trees. The wetness seriously limits the selection of trees to plant.

This soil is unsuited as a site for buildings, sanitary facilities and most recreation uses because of flooding, ponding, low strength and the slow permeability and high shrink-swell in the substratum. In undrained areas the soil provides good habitat for ducks, muskrats and other wetland wildlife.

This soil is in capability subclass Vw. It is assigned to a woodland suitability subclass.

 

Ca--Canadice silt loam

This is a deep, nearly level, poorly drained soil in basins of former glacial lakes. It receives runoff from adjacent higher lying soils and is subject to ponding. Most areas are irregular in shape and range from 5 to 200 acres in size. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent.

Typically, the surface layer is dark gray, friable silt loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil is gray and olive brown, mottled, firm silty clay about 30 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of about 60 inches is light olive brown, firm silty clay. Some areas in depressions have a very dark gray surface layer and other areas have less clay in the subsoil and substratum.

Included with this soil in mapping and comprising about 15 percent of most areas are small areas of somewhat poorly drained Caneadea and Fitchville soils on slight rises.

The water table is perched near or above the soil surface in winter and spring and during other extended wet periods. Runoff is very slow or ponded. Permeability is very slow. The root zone is deep. The average water capacity is moderate or high. The shrink-swell potential is moderate. The subsoil is medium acid to neutral.

In most areas this soil is used as woodland or pasture. In a few areas it has been cleared and is used as cropland. Excessive wetness and very slow permeability are major limitations for farming. These limitations commonly delay tillage. Undrained areas can be used for hay and pasture but maintaining tilth and desirable forage stands is difficult. Drained areas are suited to crops, hay and pasture. The very slow internal water movement reduces the effectiveness of subsurface drains. Outlets for subsurface drains are not available in many areas. Surface drains can be used to remove surface water. This soil is subject to crusting, compaction and hard clodding if tillage or harvesting is done when the soil is wet. Using crop residue and planting cover crops increase water infiltration and improve the content of organic matter and tilth.

The soil is poorly suited to use as woodland. However, water-tolerant trees grow well. Use of harvesting and planting equipment is limited during wet seasons. Reforestation with desirable species is difficult because plant competition is severe.

This soil is poorly suited to use as a site for buildings, to recreation uses and to use for most sanitary facilities because of prolonged wetness, the very slow permeability and the amount of clay in the subsoil and substratum. Drainage can be improved with surface drains, storm sewers and open ditches. Building sites should be landscaped for good surface drainage away from foundations. Local roads and streets can be improved by providing artificial drainage and a suitable base material to increase soil strength. Play areas and walkways usually need special surfacing.

This soil is in capability subclass IVw and woodland suitability subclass 5w.
