Northern NJ has some very nasty red clay soil. I went to school there, and after a hard rain, the rivers turn red with run off.

Where it was exposed was usually in the lower areas and the wetter area, you see it a lot in the rural 'ditches'. I did not know that red dirt was that far north to be in the midwest. I always thought it was a Southern soil feature, like weeping willows, dogwoods, and moss covered cyprus trees would be a Southern forest feature ......bobford

We had redclay here in Mo but it had to be exposed by
erosion or digging. Was that the case in the south, that
large areas had been eroded, or was red clay the natural
soil there?
