Urban Soil and Water Conservation Loess Hills of Western Pottawattamie County Of particular concern to the West Pott SWCD is the rapid urban development taking place in the Loess Hills. The Loess Hills are Western Pottawattamie County’s most distinctive landscape and Iowa’s most fragile landform in terms of susceptibility to erosion. When loess soils are disturbed, the threat to surface water is significant. Soil erosion rates are so high that the amount of eroded sediment carried in streams draining the Loess Hills is among the highest recorded in the United States.
