Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine Missouri River-Blackwater River drainage divide area landform origins in Saline County, Missouri. Saline County is bounded on the north and east by the east-northeast and south-southeast oriented Missouri River while the east-oriented Blackwater River flows across southern Saline County to join the Missouri River east of […]

The Osage River meanders in an east direction along the study region’s south margin while the east-oriented Blackwater River forms the study region’s north boundary. East of the study region […]
