Biographical Sketches Plainview Colberger Pierce County is bounded on the north by Knox and Cedar, on the east by Cedar and Wayne, on the South by Madison and on the west by Antelope County.
Pierce County is composed of valley and upland in about equal proportions.
The North Fork Valley averages from two to four miles in width and extends from the northern to the southern boundary of the county. Quite a number of other valleys of greater or less extent connect with it from either side. The uplands separated by these valleys are of easy ascent, and seldom, if ever, over fifty feet above the contiguous valley. The surface soils, on the southwest part, a black, sandy loam, the balance dark clay loam, except that portion which may properly be termed sand hills. The subsoil is generally clay, extending from a depth of from three to seventy-five feet.
