Floods were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and […]
Abstract: The Little Osage River-Spring River drainage divide area in Vernon, Barton, and Jasper Counties, Missouri is also the divide between the Missouri River drainage basin to the north and the Arkansas River drainage basin to the south. The Vernon, Barton, and Jasper Counties area was crossed by immense south-oriented floods derived from a rapidly […]
Abstract: The South Grand River-Little Osage River drainage divide area in Cass, Bates, and Vernon Counties, Missouri is located just east of the north-south oriented Kansas-Missouri state line and was eroded by immense south-oriented floods. Flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and were captured by headward erosion of deep […]
Abstract: The Missouri River-Osage River drainage divide area in Jackson and Cass Counties, Missouri is in reality the Missouri River-South Grand River drainage divide area with the South Grand River being a southeast-oriented Osage River tributary. The Missouri River-South Grand River drainage divide area was eroded by immense south oriented floods from a rapidly melting North […]
Abstract: The Missouri River-Blackwater River drainage divide in Lafayette and Johnson Counties, Missouri is a west to east oriented drainage divide between the east-northeast and southeast oriented Missouri River to the north and the east, northeast, and east oriented Blackwater River to the south. The drainage divide area was eroded by immense south oriented floods derived […]
Abstract: The Blackwater River-South Grand River drainage divide area in Johnson and Henry Counties, Missouri is actually the Blackwater River-Osage River drainage divide area and was eroded by immense south oriented floods derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet. Flood waters in Henry County were captured by headward erosion of the deep Osage River-South […]
Abstract: The Sac River-Spring River drainage divide area in Barton, Dade, and Lawrence Counties, Missouri is the drainage divide between the Missouri River drainage basin to the north and the Arkansas River drainage basin to the south. Immediately south of the Spring River headwaters area is the southeast oriented White River drainage basin, which east of […]
Abstract: The Little Sac River-James River drainage divide area in Dade, Polk, and Greene Counties, Missouri is the divide between the Missouri River drainage basin to the north and the White River drainage basin to the south. The drainage divide area was eroded by immense south-oriented flood flow from a rapidly melting North American ice […]
Abstract: The Weaubleau Creek-Little Sac River drainage divide area in St Clair, Hickory, Cedar, and Polk Counties, Missouri is located south of the Osage River and east of the Sac River and is drained primarily by north and northwest oriented streams. The north and northwest oriented stream valleys were eroded during a massive reversal of […]

North-oriented valleys […]
Abstract: The Little Sac River-Pomme de Terre River drainage divide area in Polk, Dallas, Greene, and Webster Counties, Missouri is the drainage divide between two north-oriented Osage River tributaries and evolved during a massive reversal of an immense south-oriented flood. South-oriented flood waters were derived from a rapidly melting North American ice sheet and flowed […]
Abstract: The Osage River-Little Niangua River drainage divide area in Benton, Camden, Hickory, and Dallas Counties, Missouri is bounded by the Osage River in the north, the Pomme de Terre River in the west, and the north and east oriented Little Niangua River, which flows into the north-oriented Niangua River, in the east and south. […]
Abstract: The Pomme de Terre River-Niangua River drainage divide area in Polk, Dallas, and Webster Counties, Missouri is the southern half of the drainage divide between two north-oriented Osage River tributaries and was eroded and created during a massive reversal of an immense south oriented flood.
