Cedar River-North Loup River drainage divide area landform origins in Valley, Greeley, and adjacent counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The southeast-oriented Cedar River and North Loup River valleys in Valley, Greeley, and adjacent counties drain to the northeast-oriented Loup River, which flows along the north edge of the large northeast-oriented Platte River valley. Topographic map evidence demonstrates the southeast-oriented Loup River tributary valleys and their […]

Loup River-Platte River drainage divide area landform origins between Kearney and Columbus, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The Loup River-Platte River drainage divide area between Kearney and Columbus records the history of two immense converging glacial melt water floods during their central Nebraska flood flow events. An immense southeast-oriented flood flowed from the northwest into Nebraska, where late during the flood history it […]

North Loup River-Middle Loup River drainage divide area landform origins in Valley, Sherman, and Howard Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The North Loup River-Middle Loup River drainage divide area in Valley, Sherman, and Howard Counties was eroded by immense southeast-oriented floods, which eroded the southeast-oriented North and Middle Loup River valleys headward from what was a newly eroded and large northeast-oriented Loup River-Platte River valley. Evidence […]

Middle Loup River-Mud Creek drainage divide area landform origins in Custer, Valley, and Sherman Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based topographic map evidence Abstract: The Middle Loup River-Mud Creek drainage divide area in Custer, Valley, Sherman Counties, Nebraska was eroded by an immense southeast-oriented flood that flowed across the entire drainage divide area. Initially flood waters flowed across a topographic surface at least as high as the highest drainage divide elevations […]

Mud Creek-South Loup River drainage divide area landform origins in Custer, Sherman, and Buffalo Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The Mud Creek-South Loup River drainage divide area in Custer, Sherman, and Buffalo Counties was eroded by immense southeast-oriented floods , which initially flowed on a topographic surface at least as high as the highest drainage divide elevations today. Evidence supporting this flood erosion interpretation includes […]

South Loup River-Platte River drainage divide area landform origins in Logan, Lincoln, Custer, and Dawson Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The South Loup River-Platte River drainage divide area in Logan, Lincoln, Custer, and Dawson Counties, Nebraska, was eroded by a massive southeast and south-southeast oriented flood flowing across the entire drainage divide area. Evidence for the flood flow is seen in present day valley alignments, large […]

Snake Creek-North Platte River drainage divide area landform origins south and east of Alliance, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Snake Creek-North Platte River drainage divide area south and east of Alliance, Nebraska. The Snake Creek-North Platte River drainage divide area south and east of Alliance is located in the western Nebraska Sand Hills […]

Platte River-Wahoo Creek drainage divide area landform origins in Saunders County, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The Platte River-Wahoo Creek drainage divide area was eroded by a massive south-southeast oriented flood, with flood waters systematically captured by headward erosion of the Wahoo Creek valley and tributary valleys and subsequently captured by headward erosion of the Platte River valley. Flood waters eroded a […]
