Drift plains are flat expanses of land covered in sediment deposits left behind by glaciers or rivers. These deposits consist of a mixture of soil, rocks, and other debris, creating a fertile landscape suitable for agriculture. Drift plains are often found in regions that have been shaped by ice ages or glacial activity.
Glacial till is unsorted and unstratified sediment deposited directly by a glacier, while stratified drift is sorted and stratified sediment deposited by glacial meltwater. An example of glacial till is a moraine, which is a ridge of mixed debris left behind by a moving glacier. An example of stratified drift is an outwash plain, which is a flat, gently sloping area formed by the deposition of sorted sediments carried by glacial meltwater.
Continental Drift
The plains on the map are located in the central region, characterized by flat and relatively low-lying terrain with minimal slopes and elevation changes. These plains are typically found between mountain ranges and hilly areas, providing a vast expanse of open land suitable for agriculture and settlement.
Fossils, rock layers, and mountain ranges were some of the land features that provided evidence for Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift.

The drift plains of South Dakota are glaciated, generally flat, with occasional "washboard" undulations. There are high concentrations of temporary and seasonal wetlands with a simple drainage pattern.
Iowa's landforms are the Paha Ridges, Des Moines Lobe, Southern Drift Plains, Paleozoic Plateau, Loess Hills, Northwest Iowa Plains. The Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers also flow through Iowa.

The Northern Minnesota Drift and Lake Plains Section (MDL) covers the center of northern Minnesota. The MDL has complex surface geology, formed over many episodes of glaciation. It is characterized by deep (200-600ft [60-180m]) glacial deposits in outwash plains, lake plains, till plains, outwash channels, moraines, and drumlin fields. See related links for more information.
South Dakota has four main land regions. 1. The Drift Plains 2. The Dissected Till Plains 3. The Great Plains 4. The Black Hills
The main land regions of Iowa include the Young Drift Plains and Dissected Till Plains. The Driftless Area is the third land region of Iowa.

The four major land regions of South Dakota are the Drift Prairie, the Disected Till Plains, the Great Plains, and the Black Hills. Almost 75% of South Dakota is covered by the Great Plains. Much of the Great Plains in South Dakota consist of rolling hills, plains, canyons, and buttes. The Missouri River runs through the center of South Dakota. The Black Hills are a low range of mountains. The Dissected Till Plains are an area of rolling hills dissected by many streams. The Drift Prairie is an area of low hills and glacial lakes.
