Kankakee Sand Area Ecoregion (Red)
The Kankakee Sand Area ecoregion is distinguished by its extensive sand plains and relict dunes (a mound of sand left for a time during the washing away of a beach). Well-drained areas held dry prairies and mixed oak savannas while northern swamp forests, marshes, or wet prairies grew on moister soils. Source: US EPA
