Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use XXXVI: The Volusia Silt Loam
The Volusia silt loam is an extensive type of soil developed at the higher altitudes in the glaciated northern portion of the plateau country which extends westward along the New York and Penn sylvania line from the vicinity of the Delaware River to the north eastern part of Ohio.
The type lies at altitudes ranging from approximately 900 feet above sea level in northeastern Ohio to elevations of feet in south-central New York.
The surface drainage of the type is fairly well established, since the surface configuration of this soil is rolling to hilly, or even steeply sloping. The internal drainage of the subsoil is poor over considerable areas, and numerous springs give rise to small swampy areas even upon some of the steeper slopes. Tile drainage is one of the chief requisites to the better farming of large areas of this soil.
