Little Osage River-Spring River drainage divide area area landform origins in Vernon, Barton, and Jasper Counties, Missouri, USA

Abstract: The Little Osage River-Spring River drainage divide area in Vernon, Barton, and Jasper Counties, Missouri is also the divide between the Missouri River drainage basin to the north and the Arkansas River drainage basin to the south. The Vernon, Barton, and Jasper Counties area was crossed by immense south-oriented floods derived from a rapidly […]

Osage River-Weaubleau Creek drainage divide area landform origins in St Clair, Benton, and Hickory Counties, Missouri, USA

Abstract: The Osage River-Weaubleau Creek drainage divide in St Clair, Benton, and Hickory Counties is bounded on the east by the north-oriented Pomme de Terre River, on the west by north, northwest, and north oriented Weaubleau Creek, and on the north by the east-oriented Osage River, and is drained primarily by north-oriented streams. North-oriented valleys […]

Little Sac River-Pomme de Terre River drainage divide area landform origins in Polk, Dalls, Greene, and Webster Counties, Missouri, USA

Abstract: The Little Sac River-Pomme de Terre River drainage divide area in Polk, Dallas, Greene, and Webster Counties, Missouri is the drainage divide between two north-oriented Osage River tributaries and evolved during a massive reversal of an immense south-oriented flood. South-oriented flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and flowed […]

Pomme de Terre River-Niangua River drainage divide area landform origins in Polk, Dallas, and Webster Counties, Missouri, USA

Abstract: The Pomme de Terre River-Niangua River drainage divide area in Polk, Dallas, and Webster Counties, Missouri is the southern half of the drainage divide between two north-oriented Osage River tributaries and was eroded and created during a massive reversal of an immense south oriented flood. The south oriented flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting […]

Niangua River-Osage Fork (Gasconade River) drainage divide area landform origins in Dallas, Laclede, and Webster Counties, Missouri, USA

Abstract: The Niangua River-Osage Fork (Gasconade River) drainage divide area in Dallas, Laclede, and Webster Counties, Missouri is the drainage divide between a north-oriented Osage River tributary to the west and a northwest and northeast oriented Gasconade River tributary to the east and was eroded by immense south-oriented floods which were beheaded and reversed by […]

Osage Fork (Gasconade River)-Gasconade River drainage divide area landform origins in Laclede, Pulaski, Webster, and Wright Counties, Missouri, USA

Abstract: The Osage Fork (Gasconade River)-Gasconade River drainage divide area in Laclede, Pulaski, Webster, and Wright Counties, Missouri was eroded by immense south-oriented floods, which flowed across the entire state of Missouri and adjacent states. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and were captured in sequence from south to […]

Gasconade River-White River drainage divide area landform origins in Webster, Wright, and Douglas Counties, Missouri, USA

Abstract: The Gasconade River-White River drainage divide in Webster, Wright, and Douglas Counties, Missouri consists of an asymmetric west-to-east oriented drainage divide between the south-oriented White River drainage basin and the north-oriented Gasconade River drainage basin and an asymmetric north-to-south oriented drainage divide between east oriented Gasconade River drainage basin and the west-oriented White River drainage […]

Gasconade River-White River drainage divide area landform origins in Texas County, Missouri, USA

Abstract: The Gasconade River-White River drainage divide area in Texas County, Missouri is a north-south oriented drainage divide between the north-oriented Big Piney River drainage basin on the west and the southeast-oriented Current river drainage basin on the east with the south-oriented North Fork White River drainage basin west of the Big Piney River drainage […]

Gasconade River-Big Piney River drainage divide area landform origins in Laclede, Pulaski, and Texas Counties, Missouri, USA

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 […]

Osage River-Gasconade River drainage divide area landform origins in Osage, Miller, Maries, and Pulaski Counties, Missouri, USA

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 […]

Gasconade River-Bourbeuse River drainage divide area landform origins in Osage, Gasconade, and Franklin Counties, Missouri, USA

Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins for the Gasconade River-Bourbeuse River drainage divide area located in Osage, Gasconade, and Franklin Counties, Missouri. The Gasconade River is a north and north-northeast oriented tributary flowing to the east-northeast, southeast, and northeast oriented Missouri River, which flows to the south oriented Mississippi River as […]
