Abstract: The Big Creek-Smoky Hill River drainage divide area in Gove, Trego, and Ellis Counties, Kansas was eroded by massive south-oriented glacial melt water floods. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and flowed across Nebraska into Kansas. The east-oriented Smoky Hill River valley eroded headward from what were then […]

Abstract: The Smoky Hill River-Walnut Creek drainage divide area in Ellis, Russell, Rush, and Barton Counties, Kansas is the drainage divide between the Missouri River drainage basin and the Arkansas River drainage basin and was eroded by immense south-oriented floods. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and flowed across […]
Abstract: The Smoky Hill River-Arkansas River drainage divide area in Ellsworth, Rice, and Mc Pherson Counties, Kansas was eroded by immense south-oriented floods. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and flowed south into Kansas where they were captured by headward erosion of deep valleys in sequence (from south to […]
Abstract: The Smoky Hill River-North Cottonwood River drainage divide area in Saline, Dickinson, Mc Pherson, and Marion Counties, Kansas was eroded by immense south-oriented floods which flowed from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet into Kansas. Flood waters were captured by deep southeast and east oriented valleys that eroded headward across Kansas from the […]
Abstract: The Kansas River-Neosho River drainage divide area in Geary, Wabaunsee, and Marion Counties, Kansas is in reality the divide between the Missouri River drainage basin and Arkansas River drainage basin. The Kansas River-Neosho River drainage divide area was eroded by immense south-oriented floods from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet, which flowed across […]
Abstract: The Kansas River-Dragoon Creek drainage divide area in Wabaunsee, Shawnee, and Osage Counties was eroded by immense south and southeast oriented floods from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet, which flowed into and across Kansas. Southeast-oriented Dragoon Creek flows to southeast-oriented Hundred and Ten Mile Creek, which flows to southeast-oriented Marais des Cygnes […]
Abstract: The Dragoon Creek-Neosho River drainage divide area in Osage, Lyon, and Coffey Counties, Kansas is actually multiple drainage divides between southeast-oriented Dragoon Creek and east-oriented Salt Creek, between Salt Creek and the east-northeast oriented Marais des Cygnes River, and between the Marais des Cygnes River and the southeast-oriented Neosho River. Dragoon Creek and Salt […]
Abstract: The Kansas River-Pottawatomie Creek drainage divide area in Douglas, Franklin, and Anderson Counties, Kansas is actually three major west to east oriented drainage divides. The northern drainage divide is between the east-oriented Kansas River and east-oriented Wakarusa River, which is a Kansas River tributary. South of the Kansas River-Wakarusa River drainage divide is the […]
Abstract: The Pottawatomie Creek-Neosho River drainage divide area in Coffey, Anderson, and Allen Counties, Kansas is the divide between the Missouri River drainage basin to the north and east and the Arkansas River drainage basin to the south and west. The Coffey, Anderson, and Allen Counties area was eroded by massive south and southeast oriented […]
Abstract: The Kansas River-Marais des Cygnes River drainage divide area in Johnson and Miami Counties is the divide between the Kansas River drainage basin to the north and the Osage River drainage basin to the south. The drainage divide area was eroded by immense south oriented floods derived from a rapidly melting North American ice […]
Abstract: The Marais des Cygnes River-Little Osage River drainage divide area in Miami, Linn, and Bourbon Counties, Kansas was eroded by immense south-oriented floods. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and flowed into and across eastern Kansas, where systematic headward erosion of deep east-oriented valleys captured the flood flow […]
Abstract: The Little Osage River-Neosho River drainage divide area in Bourbon and Crawford Counties, Kansas is the divide between the Missouri River drainage basin to the north and the Arkansas River drainage basin to the south and was eroded by immense south-oriented floods. Floods were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and […]
Abstract: The Little Osage River-Spring River drainage divide area in Vernon, Barton, and Jasper Counties, Missouri is also the divide between the Missouri River drainage basin to the north and the Arkansas River drainage basin to the south. The Vernon, Barton, and Jasper Counties area was crossed by immense south-oriented floods derived from a rapidly […]
Abstract: The South Grand River-Little Osage River drainage divide area in Cass, Bates, and Vernon Counties, Missouri is located just east of the north-south oriented Kansas-Missouri state line and was eroded by immense south-oriented floods. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and were captured by headward erosion of deep […]
Abstract: The Missouri River-Osage River drainage divide area in Jackson and Cass Counties, Missouri is in reality the Missouri River-South Grand River drainage divide area with the South Grand River being a southeast-oriented Osage River tributary. The Missouri River-South Grand River drainage divide area was eroded by immense south oriented floods from a rapidly melting North […]
Abstract: The Missouri River-Blackwater River drainage divide in Lafayette and Johnson Counties, Missouri is a west to east oriented drainage divide between the east-northeast and southeast oriented Missouri River to the north and the east, northeast, and east oriented Blackwater River to the south. The drainage divide area was eroded by immense south oriented floods derived […]
Abstract: The Blackwater River-South Grand River drainage divide area in Johnson and Henry Counties, Missouri is actually the Blackwater River-Osage River drainage divide area and was eroded by immense south oriented floods derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet. Flood waters in Henry County were captured by headward erosion of the deep Osage River-South […]
Abstract: The South Grand River-Osage River drainage divide area in Henry, St Clair, and Benton Counties is located upstream from Harry S. Truman Dam and Harry S. Truman Reservoir floods the South Grand River and Osage River valleys. The Osage River and South Grand River valleys and tributary valleys were eroded during immense south-oriented floods […]
Abstract: The Clear Creek-Sac River drainage divide area in St Clair, Vernon, and Cedar Counties, Missouri is located south of the east-oriented Osage River and was eroded by immense south-oriented floods prior to Osage River valley headward erosion. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and prior to Osage River […]
