Major geographical features

  • Crosses local drainage in northeast Missouri, crossing form Mississippi River to Missouri River watershed at La Plata (900 ft), then follows Missouri River to Kansas City
  • Crosses local drainage in southern Kansas and Oklahoma, ending up on a ridge south of the Canadian River
  • Mainly follows drainage in western New Mexico and eastern Arizona

It really doesn't seem to follow anything major. --NE2 20:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Mojave Narrows
