Miscellaneous Soils and Land Types 



These soils cover a wide range of conditions that cannot be included under 

 the preceding management groups. The soil conditions covered in Manage- 

 ment Groups 29, 30, and 31 of this section occupy a large acreage, particul- 

 arly in the mountainous areas, in the 83 percent of the State covered by 

 glacial till. These Management Groups are not considered to be of much 

 agricultural value from the standpoint of crops; however, most of our 

 woodland area is on these soils. The Management Groups in this section 

 are grouped for convenience into soils and land types of similar origin. 



These soils and land types are divided into eight Management Groups 

 (29-36) as follows: 



29. Deep, very stony, and rough stony soils with all degrees of drain- 

 age. 



30. Shallow, very ledgy soils with all degrees of drainage. 



31. Rockland, including rock outcrop areas and rough mountain land. 

 deep or shallow, not otherwise specified. 



32. Coastal sands, including coastal beach and dunes. 



33. Marsh land, including tidal and fresh water marsh. 



34. Muck and Peat. 



35. Made land, including mineral and organic material. 



36. Riverwash.
