Abstract: The Gasconade River-Big Piney River drainage divide in Laclede, Pulaski, and Texas Counties, Missouri was eroded during a massive reversal of immense south-oriented floods. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and for a time flowed south across Laclede, Pulaski, and Texas Counties to what was then the newly […]
Abstract: The Osage River-Gasconade River drainage divide area in Osage, Miller, Maries, and Pulaski Counties, Missouri was eroded by immense south oriented floods which were captured and diverted to flow in southeast, east, and northeast directions by headward erosion of deep north-oriented Missouri River and Osage River tributary valleys. Headward erosion of the deep east-oriented Missouri […]
