Mill Creek (Big Blue River)-Republican River (Kansas River) drainage divide area landform origins in Washington, Clay, and Riley Counties, Kansas, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The Mill Creek (Big Blue River)-Republican River (Kansas River) drainage divide area in Washington, Clay, and Riley Counties, Kansas was eroded by massive south-oriented floods as the deep Kansas River-Republican River valley and the deep Big Blue River-Little Blue River valley and their tributary valleys eroded […]

Little Blue River-Republican River drainage divide area landform origins in Nuckolls and Thayer Counties, Nebraska and Republic County, Kansas, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: Immense south-oriented floods eroded the Little Blue River-Republican River drainage divide area in Nuckolls and Thayer Counties, Nebraska and Republic County, Kansas. Flood waters were probably derived from a rapidly melting thick North American ice sheet. Flood waters were captured by headward erosion of the southeast-oriented […]

Turkey Creek-Little Blue River drainage divide area landform origins in Saline, Jefferson, and Gage Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: Massive south and southeast oriented floods eroded the Turkey Creek-Little Blue River drainage divide area in Saline, Jefferson, and Gage Counties, Nebraska. Flood waters were probably derived from a rapidly melting thick North American ice sheet. Flood waters initially flowed on a topographic surface higher than […]

Lincoln Creek-Turkey Creek drainage divide area landform origins in York, Seward, Fillmore, and Saline Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The Lincoln Creek-Turkey Creek drainage divide area in York, Seward, Fillmore, and Saline Counties, Nebraska is a low relief region in the Big Blue River drainage basin. Lincoln Creek and Turkey Creek are the northern and southern of several northeast, east, and southeast oriented streams draining the […]

Platte River-Little Blue River drainage divide area landform origins in Hall, Hamilton, Adams, and Clay Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The Platte River-Little Blue River drainage divide area in Hall, Hamilton, Adams, and Clay Counties, Nebraska was eroded by massive south and southeast oriented floods, which were beheaded by Platte River valley headward erosion. Flood waters were probably derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet […]

Little Blue River-Republican River drainage divide area landform origins in Kearney, Adams, Franklin, and Webster Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: The Little Blue River-Republican River drainage divide area in Kearney, Adams, Franklin, and Webster Counties, Nebraska was eroded by massive south and southeast oriented floods, which initially flowed to what was then the newly eroded Republican River valley, which had eroded headward into the region from […]

Platte River-Republican River drainage divide area landform origins in Gosper and Furnas Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map interpretation Abstract: The Platte River-Republican River drainage divide area in Gosper and Furnas Counties, Nebraska was eroded by massive south-oriented floods. Flood waters were probably derived from a rapidly melting thick North American ice sheet and initially flowed across Nebraska into Kansas to the south. Headward erosion of […]

Platte River-Medicine Creek drainage divide area landform origins in Lincoln and Frontier Counties, Nebraska, USA

Abstract: The Platte River-Medicine Creek drainage divide area in Lincoln and Frontier Counties, Nebraska contains evidence of massive south-oriented flood flow that occurred prior to Platte River valley headward erosion. Flood waters were probably derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and initially flowed across a topographic surface at least as high as […]

Medicine Creek-Red Willow Creek drainage divide area landform origins in Lincoln, Hayes, Frontier, and Red Willow Counties, Nebraska, USA

A geomorphic history based on topographic map evidence Abstract: Red Willow Creek and Medicine Creek are southeast-oriented Republican River tributaries located primarily in Lincoln, Hayes, Frontier, and Red Willow Counties in southwest Nebraska. The Red Willow Creek-Medicine Creek drainage divide area was eroded by immense south-oriented floods, which were probably derived from a rapidly melting […]

Red Willow Creek-Blackwood Creek drainage divide area landform origins in Perkins, Lincoln, Hayes, Hitchcock, and Red Willow Counties, Nebraska, USA

Abstract: The Red Willow Creek-Blackwood Creek drainage divide area in Perkins, Lincoln, Hayes, Hitchcock, and Red Willow Counties, Nebraska was eroded by massive south-oriented floods. Flood waters were probably derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and flowed south across Nebraska and into Kansas. The east and southeast oriented Republican River valley eroded […]
