A number of type and phase separations have been made in the field mapping of these soils. In the major part of the area, the surface and subsoil textures are clay and the soil is designated as Bearbrook clay. The Bearbrook clay-sand spot phase, however, includes those areas that have local dumps of sand, 30 or more feet in diameter, scattered over the clay flats. These sand pockets are smooth and not very noticeable except on cultivation. The sands are acid in reaction and poorly drained. The Bearbrook fine sandy loam is the designation given to areas having a 6 to 8 inch deposit of fine sand over the clay.
