In Illinois, my home state, we have both western and eastern hognose snakes. In the Amphibians and Reptiles of Illinois, it states that western hog habitat is "Sand prairies, Savannah's, and adjacent wood lots in well-drained soil."
I have seen both hognose species in Illinois, a northern state, but always associated with sandy soils. Really never anywhere else.
