The Glaciated Northern Grasslands ecoregion is a dissected plain. Its brown, till- derived soils support a potential natural vegetation of grama - needlegrass - wheatgrass; they contrast with the dark brown soils of the Glaciated Dark Brown Prairie (42i) which support wheatgrass - needlegrass. Ecoregion 42j is dominated by rangeland but agriculture does occur on scattered, undissected gravel benches and on the alluvial, largely irrigated soils of the Milk River Valley. The Glaciated Northern Grasslands (42j) lies to the east of the extensive cash grain farms of the less dissected, North Central Brown Glaciated Plains (42o); it lies to the west of the cropland-rangeland of the less dissected, Glaciated Dark Brown Prairie (42i).
