Location. The South Platte River Basin has a drainage area of ab mi 2 and is located in parts of three States - Colorado (79 percent of the basin), Nebraska (15 percent of the basin), and Wyoming (6 percent of the basin). The South Platte River originates in the mountains of central Colorado at the Continental Divide and flows about mi northeast across the Great Plains to its.

PRAIRIE PEAK and PLATEAU Introduction. Gold was discovered in the bed of the South Platte River in Prospectors flocked to Colorado as they had flocked only a few years before to California.

They worked the sands and gravels of Cherry Creek, Clear Creek, Boulder Creek, and California Gulch. The Platte River of south-central Nebraska was studied at three scales to place the river in its geological context and to trace its evolution through geologic time. At the largest scale the Elm Creek West and the Newark minute quadrangles were mapped.

felsic breccia were noted while to the south iron tholeiite pillow breccias and pillow lavas outcropped. A geochemical gold anomaly on the Patten River from stream sediment sampling was outlined. The immediate survey area was devoid of outcrop although the government regional aeromagnetic survey delineated a magnetic high through the area.

Condon. Land use in the South Platte River Basin varies from forested areas in the mountains, to urban areas along the Front Range corridor, and to agricultural areas in the plains. Different land uses can lead to different water-quality conditions throughout the basin.

Reservoir where the South Fork and the Middle Fork meet 15 miles southeast of Fairplay CO. The forks rise above the Mosquito Range, on the western side of South Park CO. This section of the river also known as “Badger Basin” is the start of the South Platte’ mile journey before entering Spinney.

and 2 plates: Google Analytic Metrics: Metrics page. The South Platte River as a whole flows for miles and eventually meets the mighty Mississippi River. This pristine river is a very precious resource to the state of Colorado, not only because it provides some of the most epic trout fishing possible, but also because it supplies the Denver Metro Area with a substantial amount of its drinking.

The geology of China (or the geological structure of the People's Republic of China) consists of three Precambrian cratons surrounded by a number of orogenic modern tectonic environment is dominated by the continued collision of India with the rest of Asia starting 40–50 million years ago.

This has formed the Himalaya and continues to deform most of China. South Platte Watershed (Denver, Colorado) Co-Leads. Stacey Eriksen (EPA) () @ Dana Coelho (USFS) () [email protected] Overall Assessment of the Partnership Since the Beginning.

The South Platte River is an invaluable resource for drinking water, recreation, and economic. The trace of the fault south is covered by Quaternary rocks in the Snake River area, is then exposed along the lower slopes of Keystone Mountain (Widmann et al., ).

Shale and sandstone of Cretaceous age crop out adjacent the road to Dillon and form the northern slope of Swan Mountain (south of the Snake River Arm of the reservoir) and the.

The Nebraska Sand Hills (fig. 17), the largest area of sand dunes in the western hemisphere, is a huge area of stabilized sand dunes that extends from the White River in South Dakota southward beyond the Platte River almost to the Republican River in western Nebraska but only to the Loup River in the northeast part of the High Plains (fig.

Details.The Masters ' quadrangle is located along the South Platte River corridor on the semiarid plains of eastern Colorado and contains surficial deposits that record alluvial, eolian, and hillslope processes that have operated in concert with environmental changes from Pleistocene to present time.
