Abstract: The Ladder Creek-White Woman Creek drainage divide area in Wallace, Greeley, Wichita, and Scott Counties, Kansas was eroded by immense south-oriented floods and by immense east and southeast oriented floods, which also probably deposited significant flood transported sediments. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and the south-oriented flood waters […]

Abstract: The Smoky Hill River-Walnut Creek drainage divide area in Gove, Trego, Lane, and Ness Counties, Kansas was eroded by immense south-oriented floods. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and flowed south across Nebraska and into Kansas where headward erosion of deep valleys captured flood flow and diverted flood […]
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 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 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 […]
