ENGINEERING SOILS MAP OF WELLS COUNTY, INDIANA

INTRODUCTION

The engineering soils map of Wells County, Indiana that accompanies this report was prepared by airphoto interpretation techniques using accepted principles of observation and inference. The 7-inch x 9-inch aerial photographs used in this stud\ were taken in the summer of 1940 for the United States Department of Agriculture. The airphotos have an approximate scale of 1:20,000, and the attached Engineering Soil Map was prepared at a scale ratio of 1:63,360 (1 inch = 1 mile).

Standard symbols were developed by the staff of the Airphoto Interpretation

Laboratory of the School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University, and they were employed to delineate landform-parent material associations and soil textures.

Extensive use was made of the Agricultural Soil Description Report of Wells Count\- (1).

It was particularly useful as a cross-reference to check soil boundaries, and to locate gravel pits and ponds that were not present on the 1940 aerial photographs.

The text of this report supplements the Engineering Soil Map. It includes general descriptions of the study area, and the different landform-parent material regions.

Engineering considerations associated with each region are also briefly addressed.

The map and report are part of a continuing effort to complete a comprehensive soil survey for the state of Indiana. Included on the map is a set of subsurface soil profiles that illustrate the approximate variation of the soils in each landform-parent material area. The profiles were constructed from information obtained from

-2-

agricultural literature and from boring data collected from roadway and bridge site

investigations (31-37)^. Boring locations are shown on the map. Appendix A contains a

summary of boring data and classification test results for these locations. Also, useful

correlations for estimating soil properties are collected in Appendix C.

DESCRIFnON OF THE AREA

GENERAL

Wells County is located in the northeastern part of the State of Indiana as illustrated in Figure 1. The county was established in 1835 and named after Captain

William A. Wells (2). The county is bordered by Adams County on the east, by Jay and

Blackford Counties on the south, by Grant and Huntington Counties on the west, and by Allen County on the north. The county government is located at Bluffton, which is about 85 miles northeast of Indianapolis. Wells County is "L"-shaped, with the short leg pointing west (3). The county is about 14 miles wide (east-west) by 24 miles long

(north-south), and consists of an area of 368 square miles (4).

Wells County has about 14 miles of interstate highways, and 121 miles of other federal highways and state highways. The Indiana Highways 1, 301, and 303 are the major roads in north-south direction, whereas Indiana Highways 124, 116, 218, and U.S.

Highways 224 are in east-west direction.

The population of Wells County was about 25,400 in 1980, and has grown steadily from 23,800 in 1970. The population density was 69 people per square mile.

Bluffton, the county seat, has a population of about 8,700. A population summar\' of the important cities and towns in the county is given in Table 1.

CLIMATE

Wells County is cold in winter but quite hot in summer. Table 2 gives data on temperature and precipitation for this area as recorded at Bluffton, Indiana. The highest and lowest average temperatures usually happened in July and January, respectively.

The annual precipitation is about 37.7 inches at Bluffton (4)Average seasonal snowfall is about 25 inches (4).

DRAINAGE FEATURES

The county is drained by 2 major river systems. The northeast corner is drained

by the , whereas the remainder of the county is drained by the Wabash

River and its tributaries such as Salamonie River and Eight Mile Creek. The Wabash

River system forms the primary drainage basin of Wells County. Its major drainage

lines have a general drainage trend from the southeast to the northv^'est (4). The

principal stream is the . It flows in a northwesterly direction and crosses

the county on a line from Vera Cruz (Adams County) to Markle (Huntington County).

The second principal stream is the Salamonie River, which is also a northwesterly

flowing stream. It crosses the county from Montpelier (Blackford County) to Warren

(Huntington County). Both Rivers belong to the Wabash basin (3).

The stream courses appear to have been influenced by the presence of the

moraines. For example, parts of the courses of the Wabash River and the Salamonie

River were established by the Wabash Moraine and the Salamonie Moraine, respectively

(4). They are deflected and have increased densities of drainage patterns. Local

watershed divides tend to follow the crest of sections of ridge moraines. Some of them

are broad and nearly level (4). Most stream valleys are narrow. The drainage features

of Wells County are showm in Figure 2.

WATER SUPPLY

Wells County lies within the Wabash River and the Maumee River watersheds

(Figure 3). No natural lakes exist in the county, but ponds of various origins can be seen in some parts of the county (5). The reservoir at the Wells County State Forest and

Game Preserve is an artificial lake (4).

Groundwater is an important water resource in Wells County. Wells Count\- is situated in the Northern Till Plain Section as shown in Figure 4. The surface water resources are limited in Wells County. The water use summary for Wells Countv is

groundwater aquifers in 1989.

PHYSIOGRAPHY

The State of Indiana can be divided into two areas. The northern potion, covered by glacial drift, belongs to the great Central Lowland province, whereas the unglaciated southern section belongs to the Low Plateau province. The central Lowland province in

Indiana can be further subdivided into two portions. These are the Northern Moraine and Lake Region (characterized by lakes and lake-bed deposits), and the Tipton Till

Plain (consisting of level or undulating deposits of drift without lakes or appreciable stream dissection) (9). On the other hand, the Low Plateau province can be subdivided into 7 divisions as shown in Figure 5. Wells County lies entirely within the Tipton Till

Plain physiographic region (Figure 5).

The Tipton Till Plain, extending across the central potion of the state from east to west, has more or less uniform topography compared with rugged and weathered southern Indiana. Since the region is monotonously flat, those rivers present are on low gradient. Only an occasional break in topography can be seen resulting from small moraines, knolls, and kames (9).

TOPOGRAPHY

The general topography of Wells County is shown in Figure 6. The land surface is a gently undulating glacial till plain, dissected by the valleys of the Wabash and

Salamonie rivers and their tributaries. The valleys of the Wabash and Salamonie Rivers are narrow and comparatively shallow (4). The county is ridged by the Salamonie and

Wabash moraines (4). The maximum elevation of these ridges is not more than 45 feet

(3). The average altitude of the county is 830 feet. The highest altitude reaches about

GEOLOGY OF WELLS COUNTY

Wells County was completely glaciated and covered by glacial deposits left by the continental ice sheets. The surface and near surface geologic ages represented in the county are the Silurian and Quaternary periods (3).

STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY

Wells County lies on the northern flank of the Arch, which is a broad and platformlike anticline. This broad crestal feature, tending northwestward to Lake

County from east-central Indiana, has breadths of a few scores of miles (12). The regional dip is low or indeterminate, whereas it is 35 feet or more per mile on the flanks of the arch (12). The Cincinnati Arch along with two adjacent large structural depressions, the Basin to the north and the Basin to the southwest, have a major influence on the outcrop pattern of Silurian formations (12-14).

GLACIAL GEOLOGY

All Wells County was glaciated. The advance of ice covered Wells County in the glacial age, and left a series of moraines behind as it retreated. The glacial deposits are

Wisconsin in age. The present day thickness of these deposits varies. Wells Count)- is crossed by 2 morainic systems—the Salamonie moraine in the southwest and the

Wabash moraine in the central part. They are both in a general southeast-northwest direction. The Wabash moraine is poorly defined in places (4).

BEDROCK GEOLOGY

The bedrock in Wells County is Silurian in age. Figure 7 is a map of bedrock geology of Indiana. The map of bedrock geology of Wells County is shown in Figure 8.

The figure illustrates the disposition of the bedrock units as they would appear today if

there were no unconsolidated deposits present to cover them. Surface outcrops of

bedrocks are encountered near Bluffton and Vera-Cruz. Limestone is also exposed

along Rock Creek and in the eastern edge of the county (4).

The oldest bedrocks in Wells County are Silurian rocks. Near the base of the

Silurian rocks is Brassfield Limestone. It is a medium to coarse-grained fossiliferous limestone containing small amount of fine-grained dolomite in most places (17). The color of the Brassfield limestone varies from a pink, salmon colored brownish red, to a mottled blue, or green gray. (18). The thickness of Brassfield Formation is usually less than 4 feet at the exposures, but maximum thickness can achieve 14 feet along the outcrop belt, and 20 feet in the subsurface.

The Cataract Formation, recognized only in northeast Indiana, overlies the

Brassfield Limestone. Lithologically, the Cataract Formation can be divided into three members. They are the Manitoulin Dolomite, the Cabot Head Shale, and the Stroh

Member. The three members can not be recognized south of Adams Count)' (17).

Where it is undivided, the Cataract Formation is generally a gray or tannish gray dolomite.

Overlying the Cataract Dolomite is Salamonie Dolomite. In northern Indiana, the

Salamonie Dolomite has a vertical cutoff boundary with the upper part of the Cataract

Dolomite, so that the lower Salamonie rocks in northwestern Indiana are equivalent to the upper Cataract rocks of northeastern Indiana (17). There are two principal lithologies of Salamonie Dolomite. The lower rocks consist of fine-grained argillaceous limestone dolomite, and dolomitic limestone, whereas the upper rocks consist of whitish coarser-grained biodastic vuggy dolomite (17). Color is variable. In the areas where the Salamonie Dolomite is exposed at the bedrock surface, it is usually light- colored (12). The Salamonie Dolomite, Cataract Formation, and Brassfield Limestone crop out under the glacial drift in the southeast comer of the county as shown in Figure

8.

-21-

The Pleasant Mills Formation, dominated by dolomite, limestone, and

argillaceous dolomite, overlies the Salamonie Dolomite. It contains three members,

namely the Limberlost Dolomite member, the Waldron member, and the Louisville

member in ascending order (13). The Limberlost Dolomite is light-brown, micritic to

fine-grained dolomite with varying thickness such as zero to 70 feet. In the middle part

of the formation is found the Waldron member. It is chiefly shales interbedded with fossil-bearing limestone and silt (14). Overlying it is the Louisville member. The member is composed of light-colored to brown, fine-grained, argillaceous limestone and dolomitic limestone. Chert is common (17).

The Wabash Formation in turn rests on the Pleasant Mill Formation. It is the primary bedrock unit in Wells County. Two members are recognized in the formation- the Mississinewa Shale and the Liston Creek Limestone in ascending order. The

Mississinewa consists of gray fine-grained argillaceous silty dolomite and dolomitic siltstone. The other member, the Liston Creek Limestone, is characterized by nodular and bedded chert. It is composed of light-gray and tan fine- to medium-grained fossil- fragmental cherty limestone and dolomitic Umestone (12). The thickness of Wabash

Formation ranges from 250 feet in central western Indiana, to 400 feet in the Newton

County area (northwestern Indiana), and to 200 feet in northeastern most Indiana (17).

The bedrock topography of Wells County is shown in Figure 9. The lowest bedrock altitude exists in the northern and southwestern parts of the county. The latter corresponds in part to the buried valley of a tributary to the preglacial Teays River (4).

The valley has been filled with Wisconsin glacial outwash and Recent stream alluvium.

PLEISTOCENE GEOLOGY

The Pleistocene sediments in Indiana are of continental origin rather than marine origin. Therefore, they are less homogeneous and continuous. The unconsolidated

County except in most river valleys where it is overlain by Recent alluvium. Those materials deposits by earlier glaciers are not distinguishable at the surface now.

As noted earlier, the result of Wisconsinan glaciation is mair\ly a series of ground moraines and ridge moraines in Wells County. Tills of the Trafalgar Formation are most common. They are primarily calcareous conglomeratic mudstones. Lenses of silt, sand, and gravel are also present in the Formation (20). Three environmental facies can be recognized. They are blanket till, end-moraine till, and kame facies (21). Tills of the blanket till facies (ground-moraine) are most common as the surface unit in Wells

County as shown in Figure 10.

The Trafalgar Formation is overlain by the Atherton Formation. The Atherton

Formation is a deposit of gravel, sand, silt, and clay derived from glacial outwash. Four fades are identifiable as Atherton Formation. They are outwash facies, dune facies, loess facies, and lacustrine facies.

The youngest sediment in Wells County is the Martinsville Formation. It is deposited by the modem streams, small lakes and sloughs. Silt, sands, and gravels are most commonly found. The Martinsville Formation includes two facies. One is associated with flood plain deposition and referred as Alluvial facies, the other is essentially formed in still water and named Paludal facies (21). The Alluvial facies contains silt, sand, and gravel, and the Paludal is rich in organic matter. The Paludal facies is also highly fossiliferous. Peat in the Martinsville Formation, containing abundant plant remains but rare mollusks, exist in a few locations.

The thickness of unconsolidated deposits is shown in Figure 11. The unconsolidated deposits are thickest in the southwest comer, especially in the buried valley of a tributary to the preglacial Teays River (4). In general, the areas of thickest

LANDFORM-PARENT MATERIAL REGIONS

The soils of Wells County are primarily from unconsolidated sediments. These

soils are mapped into four groups and associated subgroups for engineering purposes.

The four parent material units are glacial drift, fluvial drift, lacustrme drift, and

cumulose drift.

Each of the landform-parent material regions is characteristically identified by its

surface texture, overall extent, and soil profiles. Available boring log data are collected

in Appendix A. Classifications of the soils according to the American Association of

State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) system are given along with the textures in terms of the designation adopted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In addition. Appendix C provides correlation charts and formulas for estimating soil properties based on their index parameters such as plasticity index and liquidity index

(=[natural water content-PL] /PI).

The engineering considerations for each parent material unit are discussed here.

For specific and detailed information, the reader should consult the boring reports listed in the references. TTiis report only provides general information, and is not intended to replace site investigation for any engineering project.

GLACL4L DRIFT

The majority of the area in Wells County is covered by glacial drift, the glacial drift can be subdivided into 3 parts—the ground moraine, the ridge moraine, and the thin glacial till over limestone. All of them are composed of soils with broad range of grain sizes.

-30-

Ground Moraine

Ground moraine, a poorly sorted mixture of gravel, sand, silt, and clay, occupies

the largest portion of the county. These sediments are deposited by Wisconsinan

glaciers. The surface is level to gentle rolling, sometimes broken by river courses or low

knolls. Moraine is likely to be poorly drained because of relatively flat topography.

Therefore, depressions where organic topsoUs accumulated can be found on both

ground moraine and ridge moraine (23-26). C-type gullies and V-type gullies can be

found. The former is an indication of soils rich in clay or silty clay, whereas the latter' is

common in coarsed-grained soils such as sand and gravel.

The general soil profile in ground moraine usually consists of clay loam or silt

loam, underlain by subsurface soils of clay, loam, or clay loam. Among these soils, the

thickness of clay loam may be as large as 9 feet.

The agricultural soils that form on the ground moraine are Blount-Del Rey, Del

Rey-Blount, Glynwood, Haskins Variant, Morley, Pella, Rawson Variant, and Tuscola

series. Boring numbers 28-30, 39-46, 53-57, 70, 72-80 are located in ground moraine.

Ridge Moraine

Ridge (end) moraine covers the second largest area of Wells County. Its texture is very similar to ground moraine, a poorly sorted mixture of gravel and sand in a silt and clay matrix, thus making it difficult to distinguish between ridge moraine and ground moraine. Usually, the boundary is defined by a topographic break, and ridge moraine has more rugged topography associated with it (13, 24). In addition, ridge moraine usually has greater local reUef than ground moraine.

The distribution of ridge moraines in Wells County coincide in part with local watershed divides, which is in northwest-southeast direction. The two end moraines that cross the county are the Salamonie and Wabash Moraines. In Wells Count\-, the course of the Salamonie moraine is not well defined, but is best outlined bv the north

-31-

river bank of the Salamonie River (3). On the other hand, the Wabash moraine is in the form of nearly smooth ridge. Its crest only rises 40 to 50 feet above the Wabash bluff (3).

The general profile in ridge moraine features a surface layer of silty clay, followed by subsoil of gravelly sandy loam.

Soil boring numbers 31-32 are located in ridge moraine. The agricultural soils that form on the ridge moraine are the same as those on the ground moraine. They are

BIount-Del Rey, Del Rey-Blount, Glynwood, Haskins Variant, Morley, Pella, Rawson

Variant, and Tuscola series. Those soils that form the highly organic topsoil are the

Millgrove, Pewamo, and WallkiU series.

Thin Glacial Drift Over Limestone

The thickness of glacial drift in Wells County is uneven. In some localities, limestones are encountered at very shallow depths, which range from 20 to 40 inches.

The sizes and number of these areas are limited in Wells County. Most of them are found in the west-central part of the county such as those along the Rock Creek. Their textures are similar to those in the ground moraine and ridge moraine regions.

The agricultural soils that form in these areas are the Randolph, Millsdale, and

Milton Variant. No soil borings were made in this region.

Engineering Considerations in Glacial Drift

The typical engineering properties of glacial drift are poor drainage, low permeability and susceptibility to frost action.

Frost action will cause the volume of the soil to expand 10% or more upon freezing. The expansion is usually not uniform, thus causing serious damage to highway pavements and structures. Moreover, during the spring thaw the water content in the soil is increased by the melted ice lenses. This will weaken the soil and create additional damage to the pavements (27).

-32-

To avoid frost action, the material under highway should be drained and granular, usually not more than 3 percent of the material can be less than 0.02 mm in diameter. Utilities lines and building footings should be placed well below the frost line

(28).

Another highway pavement problem is pavement pumping at pavement joints.

Pumping is common to rigid pavements over ground moraine (25). Usually soil particles are carried out from beneath the pavement by the ejection of water due to traffic loading (9). Thus, cavities are formed underneath the pavements and cracking and faulting follow. Again, pumping is restricted to poorly drained areas. The damage can be reduced by replacing the fine-grained soils by drained granular ones.

The soils on glacial drift usually have high water contents. Therefore, it may be difficult to compact the soil to required levels. If too great a compaction energy is applied, the soil will actually become weaker. This is called overcompaction (27). It is recommended to remove all wet and soft surface soils before construction of the roadways, and backfill to an elevation above the groundwater table if groundwater is encountered.

However, glacial till can be used as a fill material under certain conditions. Its high clay content makes it almost impermeable to water. Therefore, it can be used as the core of earth dam or fill material for underground cavities where subsurface drainage is a problem (29).

The soils having high organic contents usually have very low strength and high compressibility. Elevated structures and highways are preferred, or all unstable soils should be removed and replaced by the soil with adequate engineering properties.

FLUVIAL DRIFT

Fluvial drift appears in two landforms in Wells County. They are flood plain and terrace. Both of them are associated with the stream valleys.

-33-

Flood Plain

nood Plains are distributed along major drainage ways such as the Eight Mile

Creek, the Wabash River, the Six Mile Creek, the Rock Creek, and the SaJamonie River.

All of them are narrow and restricted in aerial extent. The flood plains are formed as a

result of modem stream deposition and become a veneer of outwash material (29).

The soil profile of flood plains varies from place to place. The soils in the profile

include clay loam, clay, sUty clay, silty clay loam, sandy loam, loam, sand, gravel, and

limestone.

The agricultural soils that form on the flood plains are Armiesburg, Belmore

Variant, Eel, Ross, Saranac, Shoals, and Sloan series. Soil borings located in flood plains

were numbers 1-27, 37-38, 47-48, 71.

Terrace

Terraces are distributed along the stream valleys of the major rivers, too. These

rivers include the Eight Mile Creek, the Wabash River, the Rock Creek, and the

Salamonie River. A typical profile has a surface layer of clay loam, silt loam, loam,

gravelly clay, and gravelly sandy loam, while the subsurface soils consists of sandy

loam, sand and gravel. Three distinct levels of terraces are identified. The highest

levels are usually weathered to a depth of 4 or 5 feet, the intermediate levels 3 to 4 feet,

and the lowest levels 2 to 3 feet (16).

The agricultural soils that form on the terraces are Digby, Haney, Eldean Variant,

Rensselaer, and Whitaker series. Soil borings located in terraces were numbers 49-52,

58-69.

-34-

En gineering Considerations in Fluvial Drift

Fluvial deposits are usually layered and highly variable (30). The permeability in

the horizontal direction tends to be much greater then the vertical^ direction.

Furthermore, the permeabilities in the surface layers are usually lower compared with

the sublayers. Flooding, differential settlements and low shear strength are greatest

concerns in the flood plain. Flood plains are not suitable for sanitary landfill sites,

either. This is due to the possibilities of flooding and ground water contamination.

For terraces, high potential of erosion is the major engineering problems,

especially on the side slopes. Circular types of slope failure are common after heavy

rainfall.

The ground water table is close to the surface in fluvial drift. This makes excavation difficult. A dewatering scheme is recommended.

LACUSTRINE DRUT

One type of lacustrine drift, the lacustrine plain, is encountered in Randolph

County.

Lacustrine Plain

The lacustrine plains are numerous and wide spread in Wells Count}'. Some of them formed on glacial drift such as ground moraine and ridge moraine, others are associated with flood plains and terraces. They are usually ponded and poorly drained.

Therefore, the surface layer of lacustrine plains often contains muck and highly organic materials. The soil profile common to lacustrine plains usually consists of a surface layer of loam, followed by a subsurface layer of day loam or sandy loam.

Soil borings located in lacustrine plains were numbers 33-36. The agricultural soils common to lacustrine plains are Pella and Milford series.

-35-

En gineering Considerations in Lacustrine Drift

The soils in lacustrine plain are moist in nature since the area is usually subjected

to ponding. The soils have low shear strength and high compressibility. The soil is also poorly drained. Therefore, pavement pumping is possible as in the case of glacial drift.

Slope failure is not usual, since slopes with steep angle are rare. Also, frost action is one of the major concerns in lacustrine plains.

CUMULOSE DRIFT

Cumulose drift occurs in the form of muck basins in Wells County.

Muck Basin

Muck basins are deposits associated with muck and highly organic matter. The sizes of muck basin are smaU and limited in number in Wells County. The thickness of muck varies from 1 to 4 feet (3). Muck basins are underlain by sandy clay loam, silt loam, and gravelly sandy loam.

No soil boring reports are available for muck basins at the time of preparing this report.

En gineering Considerations in Cumulose Drift

The characteristics of muck basin are high organic content, high water content, high porosity, high compressibility, low permeability, and low strength. Therefore, the muck basin is unsuited for roads or buildings. Usually, constructions on muck basins are avoided. However, if economically feasible, the soils in muck basin can be replaced by soils with adequate engineering properties.

-36-

MISCELLANEOUS

Gravel Pits

A number of gravel pits can be found in central, northu'estem, and southwestern parts of the county. Sand and gravel are mined from gravel pits. Some gravel has also been found in knolls (4). Each year a vast amount of sand and gravel is used in construction projects such as highways, bridges, foundations, and buildings. Sand and gravel are classified according to their grain sizes. Loosely speaking, the coarse-grained soil with particle size greater than 2 mm are termed gravels, whereas sand is defined as soils with grain size less than 2mm.

Marsh and Swamps

A few marshes are seen around the county and are shown on the Engineering

SoU Map. The marsh and swamp soils are characterized by their low strength and high compressibility. Furthermore, they are generally corrosive (highly acidic) to foundation material (30).

SUMMARY OF ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS IN WELLS COUNTY

Table 4 is the summary of engineering considerations for different landform- parent material regions in Wells County. Each landform-parent material and its associated engineering problems are included in the table. However, the ranking shown in the table is recommended to be used as a general gxiideline only. Site specific investigation is always needed.

Sometimes a rough estimate of soil properties such as preconsolidation pressure and undrained shear strength is needed from available data in the preliminary stage of site investigation. These existing data are usually index parameters such as the liquid limits and plastic limits contained in Appendix A. Therefore, correlations between
