| Summary: | During the progress of the soil survey in Columbiana County, Ohio, two glacial outwash terrace levels were traced from gravelly kame areas in the Wisconsin and Illinoian glacial till plains (White, 1951) along Little Beaver Creek, to the Ohio River (fig. 1). The lower terrace originates in the Wisconsin till plain and is presumed to be Wisconsin glacial outwash. The higher terrace originates in the Illinoian till plain and is presumed to be Illinoian glacial outwash. The soils developed on these two terrace levels were found to be similar in lithology but to vary in some morphological properties due to difference in age. Seven well-drained to somewhat excessively drained soil profiles developed from each age of gravelly glacial outwash were sampled and described to determine the soil morphological properties which are common to each respective age of glacial outwash. The properties of soils from Wisconsin outwash and soils from Illinoian outwash, together with detailed profile description of a modal soil of each age, are given. Physiography of the Region Columbiana County is in the Allegheny Plateau. Here the plateau consists
