"OVERVIEW": "The Voyageurs series consists of deep, somewhat poorly drained soils that formed in silty lacustrine sediments overlying water-worked coarse loamy dense till overlying bedrock. These soils are on lacustrine modified bedrock controlled till plains. Slope ranges from 0 to 6 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 700 millimeters and annual air temperature is about 3 degrees C.", | ||

"content": "RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Depth to dense till ranges from 50 to 100 centimeters. Depth to bedrock is greater than 100 centimeters.

Rock fragment content by volume in the lower till layers ranges from 10 to 50 percent and are of equal parts gravel, cobbles and stones. Fragments are predominately Precambrian igneous and high-grade metamorphic of Laurentian Plateau origin. Free carbonates are typically absent but maybe present in C horizons.
