“…The stratigraphy of the loess sheets of Pleistocene age of Nebraska has been intensively studied (Lugn, 1934;Stout, 1945, 1948;Lueninghoener, 1947;Frankforter, 1950;Schultz, Lueninghoener, andFrankforter, 1948, 1951;Thorp, Johnson, and Reed, 1951;Schultz, Reed, and Lugn, 1951): The succession shown in table 8 is modified after Schultz, Lueninghoener, and Frankforter (1951). The Afton, Yarmouth, and Sangamon soils, as described by Thorp, Johnson, and Reed (1951), are all very strongly developed and generally similar.…”

“…The Red Cloud and Grand Island deposits consist of alluvial coarse sand derived from the Rocky Mountains. Although Schultz et al (1951) redefined the coarse fluvial deposits of Kansas age into the Red Cloud sand and gravel of early Kansas age and the Grand Island Formation of late Kansas age, the differentiation between the two units was difficult and was not adopted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS; Miller et al 1964). The two coarse-grained units of Kansas age were combined as the Grand Island Formation by Miller et al (1964).…”

“…The Red Cloud sand and gravel, described by Schultz, Reed, and Lugn (1951), consists of sand and gravel deposited in the periglacial area at the time of the advance of the Kansan glacier. The Red Cloud sand and gravel is believed to be present in Clay County because of the close proximity of the county to the glaciated area and because the county lies in a major drainageway of Pleistocene tim3.…”
