The Deerfield series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils on
terraces, deltas, and outwash plains. They formed in thick deposits of sand
derived mainly from granite, gneiss, and quartzite. Typically these soils have a
very dark grayish brown loamy sand surface layer 9 inches thick. The subsoil
from 9 to 19 inches is yellowish-brown loamy that is mottled. The subsoil from
19 to 27 inches is mottled sand. The substratum from 27 to 65 inches is olive
gray sand. Slopes range from 0 to 15 percent.
