The Gasconade River is a north and north-northeast oriented tributary flowing to the east-northeast, southeast, and northeast oriented Missouri River, which flows to the south oriented Mississippi River as […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Gasconade River-Meramec River drainage divide area in Maries, Phelps, and northern Dent Counties, Missouri. The Gasconade River and its major tributaries (from the east) flow in generally north directions with the Gasconade River flowing to the east, southeast, and northeast-oriented Missouri River, […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Gasconade River-Current River drainage divide area located in Dent and Texas Counties, Missouri. The Gasconade River is a north-northeast oriented Missouri River tributary with north-oriented tributaries, including the Big Piney River, which with its tributaries (mostly oriented in northwest directions) in the […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine Missouri River-Blackwater River drainage divide area landform origins in Saline County, Missouri. Saline County is bounded on the north and east by the east-northeast and south-southeast oriented Missouri River while the east-oriented Blackwater River flows across southern Saline County to join the Missouri River east of […]
Abstract: Topographic map evidence is interpreted to determine landform origins in the Blackwater River-Osage River drainage divide area located in Pettis and Benton Counties, Missouri. The Osage River meanders in an east direction along the study region’s south margin while the east-oriented Blackwater River forms the study region’s north boundary. East of the study region […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Missouri River-Osage River drainage divide area located in Moniteau, Cole, and Miller Counties, Missouri. The Moniteau, Cole, and Miller County area is located at the Missouri River-Osage River drainage divide east end where the Osage River joins the Missouri River. Between the […]
Abstract: Topographic map evidence is used to interpret landform origins in the Missouri River-Osage River drainage divide area in Cooper, Morgan, and Moniteau Counties, Missouri. Four drainage divides are looked at in detail and are the Missouri River-Petite Saline Creek drainage divide, the Petite Saline Creek-Moniteau Creek drainage divide, the Moniteau Creek-North Moreau Creek drainage […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins for the Wood River-Poplar River drainage divide in southern Saskatchewan. The Wood River is a north-oriented drainage route flowing to Old Wives Lake, which today has no outlet. The Poplar River is a south and southeast-oriented Missouri River tributary originating in southern Saskatchewan and […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins along the Wood River-Frenchman River drainage divide area in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. The Wood River-Frenchman River drainage divide is located along the west end of the Wood Mountain upland region just north of the Saskatchewan-Montana border. Today the Wood River flows in a north-direction […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Poplar River-Missouri River drainage divide area in Daniels, Valley, and Roosevelt Counties, Montana. The Poplar River originates in the Wood Mountain region of southern Saskatchewan and flows in a southeast and south direction to join the east oriented Missouri River near Poplar, Montana. […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to interpret landform origins in the Rock Creek-Porcupine Creek drainage divide area located in Valley County, Montana. Rock Creek originates in the Wood Mountain area in southern Saskatchewan, just north of the international border, and flows in a south-southwest and south direction to join the southeast-oriented Milk River […]
Abstract: Topographic map evidence is used to interpret landform origins in the Frenchman River-Rock Creek drainage divide area in western Valley and eastern Phillips Counties, Montana. The Frenchman River and Rock Creek originate in southern Saskatchewan and after entering Montana flow in generally south directions to join the southeast-oriented Milk River. Rock Creek is located […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Whitewater Creek-Frenchman River (Creek) drainage divide area in northeast Phillips County, Montana, which is located directly south of the Canadian border. Whitewater Creek and the Frenchman River are southeast and south oriented tributaries originating in southern Saskatchewan and flowing to the southeast-oriented […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Whitewater Creek-Milk River drainage divide area located in north central Phillips County, Montana.
