Abstract: Topographic map evidence is used to interpret landform origins in the South Fork Salt River-Missouri River drainage divide area located in Audrain and Callaway Counties, Missouri. Audrain County is located north of Callaway County and the Missouri River flows in an east direction along the Callaway County southern border. Callaway County is almost completely […]
Abstract: Topographic map evidence is used to interpret landform origins in the West Fork Cuivre River-Missouri River drainage divide area located in Audrain, Callaway, Montgomery, and Warren Counties, Missouri. The Missouri River flows in an east direction and forms the southern border of Callaway (west), Montgomery, and Warren (east) Counties with Audrain County being located […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine Peruque Creek-Missouri River drainage divide area landform origins in eastern Warren and western St Charles Counties, Missouri. The Missouri River flows in a southeast direction along the Warren County southern border and then turns to flow in a northeast direction along the St Charles County southern […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to interpret landform origins in the Mississippi River-Missouri River drainage divide area located in St Charles County, Missouri. The study region is located north of St Louis and represents the area between the south, southeast, northeast, southeast, and south-southwest oriented Mississippi River and the northeast-oriented Missouri River, which […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Missouri River-Meramec River drainage divide area located in St Louis and Franklin Counties, Missouri. The study region is bounded on the north by southeast and northeast oriented Missouri River valley segments, on the south by northeast, east, and southeast oriented segments of […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins for the Gasconade River-Bourbeuse River drainage divide area located in Osage, Gasconade, and Franklin Counties, Missouri. 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 in the South Saskatchewan River-Big Muddy Creek drainage divide area located south and west of the northeast-facing Missouri Escarpment in southern Saskatchewan. Today a southeast and south oriented discontinuous drainage route extends from the deep northeast-oriented South Saskatchewan River valley edge to the southeast and […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins for the Wood River-Poplar River drainage divide in southern Saskatchewan.
