Soil Survey of McHenry County, Illinois Part I - Soil Data Mart

76 Soil Survey of
• soils that have slopes of less than 6 percent or
more than 12 percent
• soils that contain more clay in the lower part of the
profile
Dissimilar soils:
• the somewhat poorly drained Elburn and Virgil soils
in the lower positions on the landform
• calcareous soils in positions on the landform similar
to those of the Kidder soil
• the poorly drained Pella soils in drainageways
