The rolling character of the Champlain Lowlands (83b) becomes more hilly to the east entering the Green Mountain Foothills. Also called the Champlain Hills, Ecoregion 58k has elevations that are mostly 400 to 1500 feet, with a peak of 2140 feet on Fletcher Mountain. Elevations and relief are less than in Ecoregion 58c to the east, with less dense forest cover. Sandy, coarse-loamy, and fine-loamy, frigid Spodosols are typical. Historically, much of the region was agricultural. Today, the majority of the region is back in woodland and forest, but there is a distinct mosaic of pasture and cropland in the mix, primarily supporting a dairy industry and associated hay and forage crops.
