It terminates at the city of Des Moines at the confluence of the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. The Raccoon River forms the southern and western border of the lobe. This landform is poorly drained and is Tallgrass prairie on the Des Moines Lobe, Kossuth County. dotted with potholes, particularly in the north-western portion. Glacial moraines form prominent features as, for example, Ocheyedan Mound in Osceola County, Pilot Knob in Hancock County, and Pilot Mound in Boone County. Large, open-water lakes such as Spirit Lake and Lake Okoboji in Dickinson County, Clear Lake in Cerro Gordo County, and Storm Lake in Buena Vista County are scattered throughout the landscape.
Important references to the Loess Hills of Iowa are Mutel (1991), two special issues of the Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science (vol. 92, no. 5, and vol. 93, no. 2), and Novacek, Roosa, and Pusateri (1983). On the dry slopes and hilltops are found the following: Agropyron cristatum Andropogon hallii Astragalus lotiflorus A. missouriensis Botrychium campestre Carex saximontana Dalea enneandra Gaura coccinea Lomatium foeniculaceum Machaeranthera spinulosa Mentzelia decapetela Passerina annua Schedonnardus paniculatus Schrankia nuttallii Sphaeralcea coccinea Yucca glauca Missouri River Alluvium Region For centuries the Missouri River occupied a large floodplain, periodically flooding, changing course, and creating oxbows and annually depositing a layer of silt.
These woods exist in upland regions where the covering of loess soil still remains and may be very dry, dominated by oak and hickory. On deeper soils and protected slopes, the community may be mesic and may include such species as black walnut, red oak, hard maple, and basswood. Some characteristic species include: Botrychium virginianum Carex convoluta C. sprengelii Galearis spectabilis Goodyera pubescens Hystrix patula Liparis liliifolia Monotropa uniflora Osmorhiza claytonii Parthenocissus quinquefolia Podophyllum peltatum Polygonatum biflorum Pyrola elliptica Tilia americana Ulmus rubra Uvularia grandiflora Viola sororia Vitis aestivalis Dry Sandstone Ledges and Talus In the northern portion of the Paleozoic Plateau, in northern Allamakee and Winneshiek counties, are outcrops of dry sandstone, including the soft St.
