Platte River-Salt Creek drainage divide area landform origins in Butler, Saunders, and Lancaster Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic evidence Abstract: The Platte River-Salt Creek drainage divide area in Butler, Saunders, and Lancaster Counties was eroded by an immense south-southeast and southeast oriented flood. Flood waters were first captured by headward erosion of the south-southeast and east oriented Platte River valley and the southeast-oriented Wahoo Creek valley from […]

Platte River-Missouri River drainage divide area landform origins in Cass, Lancaster, and Otoe Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The Platte River-Missouri River drainage divide area in Cass, Lancaster, and Otoe Counties, Nebraska was eroded by massive southeast and south oriented floods at the time the deep Missouri River valley eroded headward into the region. Flood waters were probably melt water floods from a rapidly melting […]
