SEAFARER Site Survey, Upper Michigan Region. Book 13. Soil Data.

Abstract

Thick glacial deposits mantle the bedrock through most of the study area. Near surface soils have formed as a result of in place decomposition of glacially deposited parent material and ranges in thickness from a few inches to a few feet. However, soil and glacial deposits are entirely absent on many knobs and ledges where hard rock crops out at the surface. The predominant soil types in the area are sandy and silty loams, and loamy sands. A soil Data Map which has been compiled from existing sources provides information as to the approximate thickness and type of soil present in a general area. (Author)
