The Hinckley series consists of very deep,
excessively drained soils on terraces, outwash plains, deltas,
kames and eskers. They formed in water-sorted material. Typically
these soils have a very dark grayish brown loamy sand surface
layer 7 inches thick. The subsoil layers from 7 to 15 inches are
strong brown and yellowish brown gravelly loamy sand. From 15 to
18 inches the subsoil is yellowish brown gravelly sand. The
substratum from 18 to 65 inches is light olive brown stratified
sand, gravel, and cobblestones. Slopes range from 0 to 60 percent.
