Soil Association Map Unit 4
The Zimmerman series consists of nearly level to steep, excessively drained soils formed in outwash sands. These soils are in broad outwash areas and on narrow escarpments adjacent to drainageways. They also occupy large depressions in the outwash plains. The native vegetation was chiefly mixed oak forest.
Permeability is rapid, and the available water capacity is low. The organic matter content is low. The supply of available water capacity and the resulting hazards of soil blowing and droughtiness.
Large areas are under urban development. This soil is well suited to this use. It is poorly suited to corn and soybeans, moderately well suited to alfalfa and pasture and moderately well suited to woodland.
Community development group 1; capability unit IVs-1; woodland group 3s1.
