<strong>McHenry</strong> <strong>County</strong>, <strong>Illinois</strong>—<strong>Part</strong> I 71<br />

A typical soil series description with range in<br />

characteristics is included, in alphabetical order, in this<br />

section. Additional information specific to this map<br />

unit, such as horizon depth and textures, is available<br />

in the “<strong>Soil</strong> Properties” section in <strong>Part</strong> II <strong>of</strong> this<br />

publication.<br />

Composition<br />

Kidami and similar soils: 85 percent<br />

Dissimilar soils: 15 percent<br />

Similar soils:<br />

• soils that are moderately eroded<br />

• soils that have a darker and thicker surface layer<br />

• soils that have a seasonal high water table at a<br />

depth <strong>of</strong> more than 3.5 feet<br />

• soils that contain carbonates at a depth <strong>of</strong> less than<br />

20 inches or more than 48 inches<br />

Dissimilar soils:<br />

• the somewhat poorly drained Herbert and Lisbon<br />

soils in the lower positions on the landform<br />

• the poorly drained Pella soils in drainageways<br />
