September – 2012 – Missouri River drainage basin landform origins research project

Abstract: Topographic map evidence in the Separation Creek-Little Sage Creek drainage divide area along the Wyoming Great Divide Basin east rim is illustrated and interpreted to determine erosional landform origins. The Great Divide Basin is a large region of internal drainage along the east-west continental divide in south central Wyoming and Separation Creek is […]

Abstract: Topographic map evidence in the Separation Creek-North Platte River drainage divide area along the Wyoming Great Divide Basin east rim is illustrated and discussed to determine the origin of the regional erosional landforms. Today the Great Divide Basin is a large region of internal drainage located along the east-west continental divide. The North […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the Sweetwater River-Great Divide Basin drainage divide area located near the Wyoming Ferris Mountains. The Ferris Mountains are a west-northwest to east-southeast oriented mountain ridge located between Green Mountain to the west and the Seminoe Mountains to the southeast. The Sweetwater River flows […]

Abstract: Topographic map evidence in the Sweetwater River-Lost Creek drainage divide area near Green Mountain in Wyoming is illustrated and discussed to determine the origin of the regional erosional landforms, including drainage routes and water and wind gaps. Green Mountain is a northwest to southeast oriented mountain south of the east oriented Sweetwater River […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to identify north to south and northwest to southeast oriented through valleys crossing the Sweetwater River-Great Divide Basin drainage divide in the region between the Wind River Range to the west and Crooks Mountain to the east. North of the Sweetwater River segment investigated is the Wind […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between Wind River and Fish Creek (which is a the Gros Ventre River tributary) along the continental divide in the Wyoming Wind River Range. The Gros Ventre River is a northwest and southwest oriented tributary to the Snake River, which […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between the Wind River and the Green River along the continental divide in the Wyoming Wind River Range. The Wind River flows in a southeast direction along the Wind River Range northeast flank before turning to become the north oriented […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between Bull Lake Creek and the New Fork River along the continental divide in the Wyoming Wind River Range. Bull Lake Creek headwaters originate along the continental divide and flow in north, northeast, east, and southeast directions to join northeast […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between the North Fork Little Wind River and North Popo Agie River in the Wyoming Wind River Range. The North Popo Agie River originates in the high Wind River Range next to the east-west continental divide and flows in an […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between Popo Agie River and the Big Sandy River along the continental divide in the Wyoming Wind River Range. The Big Sandy River originates in the high Wind River Mountains and flows in south direction with water eventually reaching the […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between Beaver Creek and the Sweetwater River from the Wind River Range southeast end to Crooks Mountain area, Wyoming and also includes the Sweetwater River-East Alkali Creek drainage divide area in the Crooks Mountain area. Beaver Creek originates at the […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between Popo Agie River and the Sweetwater River at the Wind River Range southeast end, Wyoming. The Popo Agie River flows in a northeast direction from the Wind River Range to the Wind River Basin where it joins the north […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between Little Popo Agie River and Beaver Creek at the Wind River Range southeast end, Fremont County, Wyoming. Beaver Creek and the Little Popo Agie River both originate at the southeast end of the Wind River and flow in different […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between Wind River and Sweetwater River tributaries along the Beaver Divide in Wyoming. The Beaver Divide is a major escarpment marking the boundary between the deeper Wind River Basin to the north and west and the higher elevation Sweetwater River […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the region between Deer Creek and Sweetwater River tributaries at the Beaver Divide eastern end in central Wyoming. The Beaver Divide is a north-facing escarpment and the drainage divide between north-oriented drainage routes to the Wind River and south oriented drainage routes […]
