The Glaciated Dark Brown Prairie ecoregion is primarily a treeless rolling till plain punctuated by scattered low-relief gravel benches. The ecoregion is characterized by dark brown till-derived soils, a potential natural vegetation of wheatgrass - needlegrass, and a land use mosaic of cropland and rangeland. To the west in the Glaciated Northern Grasslands (42j), drier conditions create lighter colored soils and, correspondingly, different natural vegetation. The Glaciated Dark Brown Prairie (42i) extends into North Dakota.
