MLRA 65 - Nebraska Sand Hills Nebraska and South Dakota 56,810 km2 (21,930 mi2)

Soils:
Most of the soils are Psamments. They are deep, sandy soils that formed in eolian sand. They have a mesic temperature regime, an ustic moisture regime, and mixed mineralogy. Excessively drained Ustipsamments (Valentine series) are on stabilized sand dunes. Well drained Haplustolls (Dunday series) are in the dry valleys. Somewhat poorly drained Haplustolls (Elsmere series) are in subirrigated valleys. Poorly drained and very poorly drained Haplaquolls (Gannett and Loup series) are in depressions between the dunes and along the bottom land of larger streams.
