Tihonet Series

Ruler in cm.

Tihonet soils are poorly drained soils in sandy glacial fluvial deposits on human-altered landscapes (abandoned gravel pits, created wetlands, and cranberry beds). They are made by excavating the upland soil and glacial outwash geologic deposits down to the watertable.
