Physiographic Features
|
This site is classified as an upland. It occurs on nearly level to gently sloping plains, typically adjacent to escarpments, along relict drainageways, and summit positions of knolls and interfluves. Soils are very shallow to shallow with caliche fragments throughout. The caliche beds in which the site occurs may be fairly soft or may be indurated. The site is generally located in the upper Ogallala formation and often occurs immediately above the hard caliche outcrops of the high plains escarpment; and in the erosional slopes just below.
