  • The bluffs are eastward from the Missouri River, and form the geological boundary of the floodplain on the Iowa side of the river. -- Jerry picker 06:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I wonder if the excellent new section on the Loess bluffs near Vicksburg, MS might not be more appropriate in the article on Loess soils and landforms. "The Loess Hills" is a proper name for a specific named geological feature on the Iowa side of the Missouri Valley, whereas other "loess hills" are present in other U.S. locales, including the Arikaree Breaks in KS and the bluffs near Vicksburg.

[edit] loess and loess hills

I made the addition to 'loess hills' that you very correctly moved to 'loess.' Good catch! I grew up on the ones in Iowa and am living on the ones in Mississippi. Except for the climatic conditions and consequent surficial responses the similarities between the two geomorphologies and the internal soils are very very strong. Jim Warriner Vicksburg, MS
