Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the Lodgepole Creek-South Platte River drainage divide area near the Wyoming-Nebraska-Colorado corner. The South Platte River flows in a north direction just east of the Colorado Front Range into northern Colorado and then turns in an east-southeast, east, and northeast direction to […]
Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the Crow Creek-South Platte River drainage divide area along the Wyoming-Colorado border. The South Platte River flows in a north-northeast direction along the east side of the Colorado Front Range before turning in an east-southeast, east, and northeast direction to flow into […]
Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the Lodgepole Creek-Crow Creek drainage divide area in the Wyoming Laramie Mountains. Lodgepole Creek and Crow Creek headwaters originate near each other in the Sherman Mountains area of the Wyoming Laramie Mountains and flow in roughly east directions to converge either in […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins in the Laramie River–Horse Creek drainage divide area in the Wyoming Laramie Mountains. The Laramie River flows in a north direction on the west side of the Laramie Mountains and then turns to flow in an east and northeast direction across the Laramie […]
A geomorphic history based on topographic maps Abstract: This overview essay provides highlights from more detailed essays illustrating and describing topographic map evidence which is interpreted to determine origins of drainage divides between all major Platte River tributary drainage basins and Platte River drainage divides with all major adjacent drainage basins. Detailed essays upon which […]
Abstract: The South Platte River-Frenchman Creek drainage divide area in Keith, Perkins, and Chase Counties, Nebraska was eroded by massive south and/or southeast oriented flood flow, which originally flowed across Nebraska and into Kansas. Headward erosion of present day valleys captured the south-oriented flood flow in an identifiable sequence and diverted flood waters to what […]
