A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The Platte River-Big Blue River drainage divide area in Hamilton, Polk, Butler, York, and Seward Counties was eroded by a massive east oriented flood, which was first captured by headward erosion of the south-southeast oriented Big Blue River and later captured by headward erosion of the deeper […]
A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract The Big Blue River-Big Nemaha River drainage divide area in southeast Nebraska was eroded by massive south and southeast oriented floods. Floods were probably from a rapidly melting ice sheet located north and northwest of the drainage divide area. Initially flood waters flowed across a topographic […]
