A Natural Resource Management Guide for the County of Morris A ...

As described in the Soil Survey of Morris County, New Jersey, soil associations formed within Glacial Lake
Sediment occur throughout the county in low lying areas. They consist of wet organic soils, wet clayey soils,
and wet or dry gravelly sandy loams. Soil associations formed within Old Glacial Deposits are located on
uplands and in valleys, in the southern and southwestern parts of the county. These soils are mostly loamy
and deeply weathered, having more clay in the subsoil than in the surface layer. Soil associations formed
within Young Glacial Till are found on ridges and in valleys. They are gravelly and extremely stony sandy
loams underlain by glacial till that ranges from gravelly loamy sand to silt loam.
