Morphology and Classification of Certain Soils in East-Central Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin¹

ABSTRACT

This is a report on investigations made of soils on the northern and eastern periphery of the Grantsburg sublobe of the Des Moines lobe (Mankato) located in east-central Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. Sola of these soils are developed in Cary and post-Cary parent materials, ranging from sandy loam to silt loam in texture. Most of the profiles are developed in silts of varying thickness overlying tills of the Cary ground moraine. Modal profile descriptions are summarized. Selected physical and chemical characteristics are presented.
