R. 28 W.: USGS Nicollet quadrangle: la: 44 <br />dcgtecs 20 minutes 53 seconds N. and long. 94 degrees 8 minutes 28 seconds NV.. <br />NAD27 <br />RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: The thickness of the organic material ranges from <br />16 to 50 inches It is derived primarily from herbaceous plants. The organic matter <br />content ranges from 25 to 60 percent in the organic surface and 5 to 20 percent in the 2A <br />horizon. Tlie reaction of the organic matenal ranges from moderately acid to slightly <br />alkaline. Some organic layers contain free carbonates.
