MLRA 52 - Brown Glaciated Plain Montana 52,110 km2 (20,120 mi2)

Soils:
Most of the soils are Borolls, Orthents, Argids, and Fluvents. These soils are medium textured to fine textured and well drained and have a frigid temperature regime. Deep, nearly level to strongly rolling Argiborolls (Scobey and Telstad series) are on glacial till plains. Shallow to deep, nearly level to steep Torriorthents (Lisam, Hillon, and Marias series) are on shaly uplands, glacial till plains, and lacustrine terraces, fans, and foot slopes. Deep, nearly level to moderately sloping Natrargids (Absher and Thoeny series) are on alluvial fans and low terraces adjacent to drainageways and on glacial till plains. Deep, nearly level and undulating Paleargids (Phillips series) are on glacial till plains. Deep, nearly level Torrifluvents (Harlem and Havre series) are on flood plains and low terraces. Included with these soils are some soils in the Sweetgrass Hills. Wet or saline soils along streams or in seep spots are also included.
