South Platte River-Frenchman Creek drainage divide area landform origins in Keith, Perkins, and Chase Counties, Nebraska, USA

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 […]

Frenchman Creek-Republican River drainage divide area landform origins in Chase, Hayes, Dundy, and Hitchcock Counties, Nebraska, USA

Abstract: The Frenchman Creek-Republican River drainage divide area in Chase, Hayes, Dundy, and Hitchcock Counties, Nebraska was eroded by immense southeast and south-southeast oriented floods. Flood waters were probably derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and originally flowed across southwest Nebraska and into Kansas and then further south to the Gulf of […]

Abstract: The Republican River-Prairie Dog Creek drainage divide area in Furnas and Harlan Counties, Nebraska and Norton and Phillips County, Kansas was eroded by massive south-oriented flood flow. Flood waters were probably derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and flowed south across Nebraska and into Kansas. Missouri River tributary valleys eroded headward […]

Prairie Dog Creek-North Fork Solomon River drainage divide area landform origins in Norton and Phillips Counties, Kansas, USA

Abstract: The Prairie Dog Creek-North Fork Solomon River drainage divide area in Norton and Phillips Counties, Kansas was eroded by immense south-oriented flood flow, which flowed across Nebraska and into Kansas. Flood waters were probably derived from a rapidly melting thick North American ice sheet, which had been located in what had been an ice […]

Republican River-Beaver Creek drainage divide area landform origins in Hitchcock and Red Willow Counties, Nebraska and Rawlins and Decatur Counties, Kansas, USA

Abstract: The Republican River-Beaver Creek drainage divide area in Hitchcock and Red Willow Counties, Nebraska and Rawlins and Decatur Counties, Kansas was eroded by immense south and/or southeast oriented floods. 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 […]
