Abstract: This essay interprets topographic map evidence to determine the origin of the east-west continental divide in the Montana Sun River-Flathead River drainage divide area. The Sun River is formed at the confluence of south-southeast and north-northwest tributaries and flows in an east direction to join the Missouri River at Great Falls, Montana with water […]

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: This essay is an overview of six essays describing drainage divide areas in and surrounding the Montana Sun River drainage basin. Essays are based on Sun River drainage basin topographic map evidence and are listed under the Sun River category (see sidebar category list). The Sun […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Teton River-Sun River drainage divide area of eastern Teton County, Montana. The Teton River and Sun River are east oriented Missouri River tributaries, both of which in Teton County originate along the east west continental divide and then flow from deep mountain […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Teton River-Sun River drainage divide area located in western Teton County. Western Teton County is a region of high mountains just east of the east-west continental divide while eastern Teton County is a plains region east of the mountain front. The Teton […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Sun River-Missouri River drainage divide area of Cascade County, Montana. The Missouri River flows in a northeast direction through Cascade County passing the communities of Cascade and Great Falls and is joined by north-northwest oriented tributaries from the south. The Sun River […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine Sun River-Dearborn River drainage divide area landform origins in eastern Lewis and Clark County, Montana. The Sun River originates along the east-west continental divide, which forms the Lewis and Clark County west border, and flows in an east direction to join the northeast-oriented Missouri River at […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation techniques are used to determine landform origins in the Sun River-Dearborn River drainage divide area located in western Lewis and Clark County, Montana. The Sun River originates in the Lewis and Clark Range along the east-west continental divide and flows in an east direction to join the northeast-oriented Missouri River. The […]
