Description of Mapped Type: This type is mapped over soils that are well-watered in bottoms in
the High Plains. Mowed hay meadows may be dominated by grasses such as big bluestem,
yellow Indiangrass, switchgrass, western wheatgrass, and little bluestem. In the modern
landscape, this type may be grazed, and can be dominated by a variety of grazing-tolerant
grasses and forbs such as Bermudagrass, cheatgrass, brome species, grama species, and
buffalograss.
