BARDLEY SERIES-The Bardley series consists of moderately deep, well drained soils that formed in hillslope sediments and the underlying residuum from dolomite interbedded with some limestone and sandstone. These soils are on summits, side slopes, back slopes, and nose slopes of hills and ridges. Slopes range from 2 to 100 percent. Mean annual temperature is 56 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is 42 inches  USE AND VEGETATION: Most of the Bardley soils are forested. Some are cleared and used for pasture. Native vegetation is mixed hardwoods.

GOSS SERIES-The Goss series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in colluvium and residuum weathered from cherty limestone or cherty dolomite and some interbedded shale. These soils are on uplands. Slopes range from 1 to 70 percent. Mean annual temperature is 53 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is 39 inches. USE AND VEGETATION: Areas are used for woodland and pasture. Native vegetation is upland hardwoods.

UNION SERIES-The Union series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils formed in a layer of loess that contains a fragipan and in the underlying clayey residuum weathered from cherty limestone or cherty dolomite. In some pedons, the clayey residuum is partially derived from components of sandstone and acid shale. These soils have moderate permeability in the upper part and slow permeability in the fragipan. They are on upland ridgetops and backslopes with slopes ranging from 2 to 25 percent. Mean annual temperature is about 56 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is about 40 inches  USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are in pasture or forest. A small acreage is cropped to corn, small grains, and hay. Native vegetation is hardwood forest.

RUETER SERIES-The Rueter series consists of very deep, somewhat excessively drained soils that formed in colluvium and residuum from cherty limestone on steep side slopes and narrow ridgetops. Slopes range from 3 to 70 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 42 inches, and mean annual temperature is about 56 degrees F. USE AND VEGETATION: Most of the soil is in second growth timber similar to the original forest. Some areas are used for pasture. Native vegetation is oak/hickory forest.

CEDARGAP SERIES-The Cedargap series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in alluvium with a high content of chert fragments. These soils are on flood plains of small streams near active channels. Slopes range from 0 to 5 percent. Mean annual temperature is 56 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is 41 inches. USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are in pasture or woodland. Native vegetation was tall prairie grass.
