McHenry County, Illinois—Part I 77
361E2—Kidder loam, 12 to 20 percent
slopes, eroded
Setting
Landform: Moraines
Position on the landform: Backslopes
Slope range: 12 to 20 percent
A typical soil series description with range in
characteristics is included, in alphabetical order, in this
section. Additional information specific to this map
unit, such as horizon depth and textures, is available
in the “Soil Properties” section in Part II of this
publication.
Composition
Kidder and similar soils: 85 percent
Dissimilar soils: 15 percent
Similar soils:
• soils that are severely eroded
• soils that have slopes of less than 12 percent or
more than 20 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
• the poorly drained Pella soils in drainageways
• calcareous soils in positions on the landform similar
to those of the Kidder soil
