52 Soil Survey of
Similar soils:
• soils that have a darker surface layer
• soils that contain sandy and gravelly deposits at a
depth of more than 40 inches or less than 20 inches
• soils that contain less sand and more silt in the
lower one-half of the subsoil
• soils that contain loamy till in the lower part of the
profile
• soils that have slopes of less than 2 percent
Dissimilar soils:
• the somewhat poorly drained Kane soils in the
lower positions on the landform
• the poorly drained Will soils in depressions and
drainageways
• the excessively drained Rodman soils in the slightly
higher positions on the landform
