Abstract

This bulletin reports a 1957-1960 study of landscapes, soils, entrenched streams, and gullies in parts of Harrison County, Iowa, supported by Soil Survey Investigations, Soil Conservation Service. The major objectives were to determine the causes and effects of stream entrenchment and gully formation in the thick-loess area of western Iowa and to evaluate the influence of geomorphic processes and physiographic history on the genesis, geography, and classification of soils.
