This paper reveals the features of the soil cover of the territory of the Vetluga-Unzhensk interfluvial area, which is adjacent to the northern part of Uvaly, where contrasting combinations of alpha-humic and organo-accumulative soils are widespread. This is due to abruption of the clayey rocks of the Triassic age on the background of fluvioglacial sand sediments of the Dnieper glaciation, which is due to the complicated history of the formation of the relief of the characterized territory.
