(Deford) on beach rides, and Endoaqods (Au Gres and
Kinross) in wet, sandy depressions (Fig. 6.6). Haplosaprists
(Tawas and Lupton soil series) are common in organic-rich
depressions. The Kello soil series is an Alfic Oxyaquic
Haplorthods derived from sandy over clayey lacustrine
materials (Fig. 6.7). The Kello soil profile contains an Oe to
2 in. (5 cm), a pinkish gray E horizon to 8 in. (20 cm),
brown to strong brown Bs (spodic) horizons to 18 in.
(45 cm), a 2B/E lossic horizon to 29 in. (74 cm), and a 2Bt
argillic horizon to 40 in. (102 cm).

Conclusions
The Lake Superior Coastal Zone can be divided into six
sements. Haplorthods are the dominant soil great-group,
followed by Haplosaprists, Hapludalfs, and Haplohemists.
These soils are derived from discontinuous sandy and
sandy-loam till over bedrock, lacustrine sands, and clayey
till. Soils of the Lake Superior CZ are used primarily for
wilderness appreciation and forestry.
Fig. 6.4 The Yalmer soil series is an Alfic Oxyaquic Fragiorthods.
The soil is bisequal with an upper Spodosol (A, E, Bhs, Bs1, Bs2) in
sandy outwash and a lower Alfisol (2E/B)x, 2(B/E)x, 2Bt in loamy till.
