34 Soil Survey of
in the “Soil Properties” section in Part II of this
publication.
Composition
Casco and similar soils: 85 percent
Dissimilar soils: 15 percent
Similar soils:
• soils that are severely eroded
• soils that contain sandy and gravelly deposits at a
depth of more than 20 inches
• soils that have slopes of less than 4 percent or
more than 6 percent
• soils that have a darker surface layer
• soils that contain loamy till in the lower part of the
profile
Dissimilar soils:
• the somewhat poorly drained Kane soils in the
lower positions on the landform
• the excessively drained Rodman soils in positions
on the landform similar to those of the Casco soil
• the poorly drained Will soils in depressions and
drainageways
Management

323C3—Casco clay loam, 4 to 6 percent
slopes, severely eroded
Setting
Landform: Stream terraces, kames, outwash plains,
and moraines

Slope range: 4 to 6 percent
A typical soil series description with range in

section. Additional information specific to this map
unit, such as horizon depth and textures, is available
