Ground conditions across Lee County

Ground along the Mississippi River corridor runs to sand, gravel, silt and clay on the river terraces and floodplain. Sandy blow ground sits on the older terraces, with till and loess uplands behind the bluff line.

Sandy terraces drain fast, and the floodplain barely drains at all. A thin base on either one shows the same failure: ruts, soft spots and stone pushed down into the subgrade.

Spring snowmelt from the upper basin raises the river and backs water up the tributary mouths. Low ground floods long after local rain has stopped, so low lying work waits for the crest to pass before base goes in.

River bank cutting and flood scour work on the channel edges, and gullies cut the loess covered bluffs above the valley. Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that runoff.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, enough to heave gravel drives and river road surfaces each spring. Upland work follows the ordinary thaw to fall freeze pattern.

Choosing the right material

Henry County and Van Buren County sit on the Southern Iowa Drift Plain. Old pre-Illinoian till lies under a windblown loess mantle, usually 5 to 30 feet thick, with buried paleosols beneath.

The Yarmouth-Sangamon paleosol there is a thick, gummy grey clay that water will not move through. Farmers call working in it gumbo.

That ground changes the drainage choice. Where water sits on gummy clay, clean rock moves it and a fines-bearing roadstone base does not.

Des Moines County shares the Mississippi River corridor ground with Lee County. Sand, gravel, silt and clay on the river terraces and floodplain, sandy blow ground on the older terraces, till and loess uplands behind the bluff line.

Match the material to the ground under it. Clean stone for drainage, roadstone for a compacted base, riprap where water works on a bank.
