Abstract
This bulletin tells how natural erosion has helped shape the landscapes of southwestern Iowa and affected the kinds of soil and their distribution. Landscape Evolution and Soil Formation in Southwestern Iowa is a report of a project of Soil Survey Investigations, Soil Conservation Service, undertaken in 1953. The major objective of the research was to evaluate the influence of geomorphologic processes and history in the genesis, geography, and classification of soils in selected areas in southwestern Iowa. The work was done from 1953 through 1956; the original manuscript was written in 1957. Since then changes have been made in the classification of the Wisconsin glacial stage in Iowa and adjacent States.
