GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Kilkemzv, Mazaska, and <br /> Shields soils which are members of a hydrosequence with Lerdal soils. Moderately well <br /> . drained Kilkenny soils have more convex slopes or are on higher lying terrain. The <br /> � somewhat poorly drained Shields soils are on nearly level terrain. Poorly drained <br /> Mazaska soils are in nearby shallow depressions, swales, and low lying level areas. <br /> DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Somewhat poorly drained. Surface runoff is <br /> high to very high. Permeability is slow. The perched seasonal high water table is 1.5 to <br /> 2.5 feet during April to May in most years. <br /> USE AND VEGETATION:Most are used as cropland. Corn, soybeans, and alfalfa are <br /> the commonly grown crops.Native vegetation is savanna with oaks being the dominant <br /> kind of tree. <br /> DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Eastern edge of Des Moines lobe in Minnesota. <br /> Moderately extensive. <br /> MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: St. Paul,Minnesota <br /> SERIES ESTABLISHED:Hennepin County, Minnesota, 1969. <br /> REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features in this pedon are: ochric epipedon - from <br /> the soil surface to a depth of 7 inches- too thin for a mollic horizon(Ap); albic horizon - <br /> the zone from 7 to 9 inches (E); argillic horizon - the zone from 8 to 42 inches (Btl, Bt2, <br /> Btgl, Btg2). <br /> This pedon has been reclassified to Fine, smecritic mesic Aeric Vertic Epiaqualf on 12/96 <br /> National Cooperative Soil Survey <br /> U.S.A. <br /> . ,� . <br />
