MLRA 106 - Nebraska and Kansas

Loess-Drift Hills Kansas and Nebraska
27,090 km2 (10,460 mi2)

Soils:
Most of the soils are Udolls. They are deep and have a mesic temperature regime, an udic moisture regime, and mixed mineralogy. Silty Argiudolls (Sharpsburg series) and Hapludolls (Marshall and Monona series) are well drained, nearly level to moderately steep soils on loess-mantled ridgetops and upper side slopes. Loamy Argiudolls (Burchard, Pawnee, and Shelby series) are gently sloping to moderately steep soils that formed in glacial till. Nearly level to gently sloping Argiudolls (Wymore and Grundy series) have a clayey subsoil and formed in loess; they are on uplands. Udorthents (Ida and Steinauer series) are on steep upland slopes. Hapludolls (Kennebec series) and Haplaquolls (Colo and Wabash series) are on bottom lands.
