River Welland
Vessels of 110 by 30 feet ( 33.5 by 9.1 m ) and drawing 8 feet ( 2.4 m ) can still proceed along the estuary at high water , and can travel inland as far as Fulney lock . They can not pass through the lock as it is only 62.3 by 27.8 feet ( 19.0 by 8.5 m ) and at normal summer water levels , can accommodate boats drawing 2.6 feet ( 0.79 m ) . The river is officially navigable to the point at which the Folly River joins it , but the length of boats allowed on this section is restricted to 35 feet ( 11 m ) long , considerably less than the lock dimensions would suggest . Navigation on this stretch was severely restricted by Four Mile Bar footbridge , which provided just 5.25 feet ( 1.60 m ) of headroom , but this was increased when a new single - span arched bridge was installed in early 2007 by the Lincolnshire Waterways Partnership . Smaller boats such as canoes , which can be carried around obstructions , can continue up to Stamford , but they must use the old course of the river through the Deepings , rather than the Maxey cut .

Snake River
The river 's flow is also measured at several other points in its course . Above Jackson Lake , Wyoming , the discharge is about 885 cu ft / s ( 25.1 m / s ) from a drainage area of 486 square miles ( 1,260 km ) . At Minidoka , Idaho , about halfway through the Snake River Plain , the river 's discharge rises to 7,841 cu ft / s ( 222.0 m / s ) . However , at Buhl , Idaho , only about 50 miles ( 80 km ) downstream , the river 's flow decreases to 4,908 cu ft / s ( 139.0 m / s ) because of agricultural diversions and seepage . But at the border of Idaho and Oregon , near Weiser at the beginning of Hells Canyon , the Snake 's flow rises to 17,780 cu ft / s ( 503 m / s ) after receiving several major tributaries such as the Payette , Owyhee and Malheur . The discharge further increases to 19,530 cu ft / s ( 553 m / s ) at Hells Canyon Dam on the border of Idaho and Oregon . At Anatone , Washington , downstream of the confluence with the Salmon , one of the Snake 's largest tributaries , the mean discharge is 34,560 cu ft / s ( 979 m / s ) .

American Revolutionary War
The Americans skirted their allies , recognizing that more favorable terms would be found in London . They negotiated directly with Shelburne , who hoped to make Britain a valuable trading partner of America at the expense of France . To this end , Shelburne offered to cede all the land east of the Mississippi River , north of Florida , and south of Quebec , while also allowing American fishermen access to the rich Newfoundland fishery . According to one historian , Shelburne was hoping to facilitate the growth of the American population , creating lucrative markets that Britain could exploit at no administrative cost to London . As Vergennes commented , `` the English buy peace rather than make it '' .
Blackstone River
The river , together with the Woonasquatucket River to the south , was designated an American Heritage River in 1998 .
Catawba River
It rises in the Blue Ridge Mountains in western McDowell County , North Carolina , approximately 20 miles ( 30 km ) east of Asheville . It flows ENE , forming , along with the Linville River , Lake James . It then passes north of Morganton , then southeast through Lake Hickory just north of Hickory , NC , and into the Lake Norman reservoir . From Lake Norman it flows south , passing west of Charlotte , then flowing through the Mountain Island Lake and Lake Wylie reservoirs , where it forms approximately 10 miles ( 15 km ) of the border between North Carolina and South Carolina , also the confluence of the South Fork Catawba River and Catawba River is submerged by Lake Wylie near the NC / SC state line . It flows into northern South Carolina , passing Rock Hill , then through Fishing Creek Reservoir near Great Falls , and then into the Lake Wateree reservoir , approximately 30 miles ( 50 km ) northeast of Columbia . At the now - submerged confluence with Wateree Creek , it becomes the Wateree River .
Grand Canyon
The Lower Sonoran life zone spans from the Colorado River up to 3,500 feet ( 1,100 m ) . Along the Colorado River and its perennial tributaries , a riparian community exists . Coyote willow , arrowweed , seep - willow , western honey mesquite , catclaw acacia , and exotic tamarisk ( saltcedar ) are the predominant species . Hanging gardens , seeps and springs often contain rare plants such as the white - flowering western redbud , stream orchid , and Flaveria mcdougallii . Endangered fish in the river include the humpback chub and the razorback sucker . A
Río de la Plata
The Río de la Plata begins at the confluence of the Uruguay and Paraná rivers at Punta Gorda and flows eastward into the South Atlantic Ocean . No clear physical boundary marks the river 's eastern end ; the International Hydrographic Organization defines the eastern boundary of the Río de la Plata as `` a line joining Punta del Este , Uruguay and Cabo San Antonio , Argentina '' .
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Pap forcibly moves Huck to his isolated cabin in the woods along the Illinois shoreline . Because of Pap 's drunken violence and imprisonment of Huck inside the cabin , Huck , during one of his father 's absences , elaborately fakes his own death , escapes from the cabin , and sets off downriver . He settles comfortably , on Jackson 's Island . Here , Huck reunites with Jim , Miss Watson 's slave . Jim has also run away after he overheard Miss Watson planning to sell him `` down the river '' to presumably more brutal owners . Jim plans to make his way to the town of Cairo in Illinois , a free state , so that he can later buy the rest of his enslaved family 's freedom . At first , Huck is conflicted about the sin and crime of supporting a runaway slave , but as the two talk in depth and bond over their mutually held superstitions , Huck emotionally connects with Jim , who increasingly becomes Huck 's close friend and guardian . After heavy flooding on the river , the two find a raft ( which they keep ) as well as an entire house floating on the river ( Chapter 9 : `` The House of Death Floats By '' ) . Entering the house to seek loot , Jim finds the naked body of a dead man lying on the floor , shot in the back . He prevents Huck from viewing the corpse .
Mississippi River
In the United States , the Mississippi River drains the majority of the area between the crest of the Rocky Mountains and the crest of the Appalachian Mountains , except for various regions drained to Hudson Bay by the Red River of the North ; to the Atlantic Ocean by the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River ; and to the Gulf of Mexico by the Rio Grande , the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers , the Chattahoochee and Appalachicola rivers , and various smaller coastal waterways along the Gulf .
River Welland
For much of its length the Welland forms the county boundary between Northamptonshire and Leicestershire or Rutland , and lower down between Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire .
Snake River
The Upper Snake freshwater ecoregion includes most of southeastern Idaho and extends into small portions of Wyoming , Utah , and Nevada , including major freshwater habitats such as Jackson Lake . Compared to the lower Snake River and the rest of the Columbia River 's watershed , the Upper Snake ecoregion has a high level of endemism , especially among freshwater molluscs such as snails and clams . There are at least 21 snail and clam species of special concern , including 15 that appear to exist only in single clusters . There are 14 fish species found in the Upper Snake region that do not occur elsewhere in the Columbia 's watershed , but which do occur in Bonneville freshwater ecoregion of western Utah , part of the Great Basin and related to the prehistoric Lake Bonneville . The Wood River sculpin ( Cottus leiopomus ) is endemic to the Wood River . The Shoshone sculpin ( Cottus greenei ) is endemic to the small portion of the Snake River between Shoshone Falls and the Wood River .
Rocky Mountains
The eastern edge of the Rockies rises dramatically above the Interior Plains of central North America , including the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico and Colorado , the Front Range of Colorado , the Wind River Range and Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming , the Absaroka - Beartooth ranges and Rocky Mountain Front of Montana and the Clark Range of Alberta . In Canada geographers define three main groups of ranges : the Continental Ranges , Hart Ranges and Muskwa Ranges ( the latter two flank the Peace River , the only river to pierce the Rockies , and are collectively referred to as the Northern Rockies ) . The Muskwa and Hart Ranges together comprise what is known as the Northern Rockies ( the Mackenzie Mountains north of the Liard River are sometimes referred to as being part of the Rocky Mountains but this is an unofficial designation ) . The
Delaware River
The Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal , running parallel with the river from Easton to Bristol , opened in 1830 . The Delaware and Raritan Canal , which runs along the New Jersey side of the Delaware River from Bulls Island , New Jersey to Trenton , unites the waters of the Delaware and Raritan rivers as it empties the waters of the Delaware River via the canal outlet in New Brunswick . This canal water conduit is still used as a water supply source by the State of New Jersey . The Morris Canal ( now abandoned and almost completely filled in ) and the Delaware and Hudson Canal connected the Delaware and Hudson rivers . The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal joins the waters of the Delaware with those of the Chesapeake Bay .
Snake River
In the 1960s and 1970s the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built four dams and locks on the lower Snake River to facilitate shipping . The lower Columbia River has likewise been dammed for navigation . Thus a deep shipping channel through locks and slackwater reservoirs for heavy barges exists from the Pacific Ocean to Lewiston , Idaho . Most barge traffic originating on the Snake River goes to deep - water ports on the lower Columbia River , such as Portland . Grain , mostly wheat , is the main product shipped from the Snake , and nearly all of it is exported internationally from the lower Columbia River ports .
Hudson Valley
In 1647 , Director - General Peter Stuyvesant took over management of the colony . He found the colony in chaos due to a border war with the English along the Connecticut River , and Indian battles throughout the region . Stuyvesant quickly cracked down on smuggling and associated activity before expanding the outposts along the Hudson River , especially Wiltwyck at the mouth of Esopus Creek . Stuyvesant attempted to establish a fort midway up the Hudson River . However , before that could be done , the British invaded New Netherland via the port of New Amsterdam . Given that the city of New Amsterdam was largely defenseless , Stuyvesant was forced to surrender the city and the colony to the British . New Amsterdam and the overall colony of New Netherland was renamed New York , after the Duke of York . The Dutch regained New York temporarily , only to relinquish it again a few years later , thus ending Dutch control over New York and the Hudson River . British
St. Croix River (Wisconsin–Minnesota)
The St. Croix River ( French : Holy Cross ) is a tributary of the Mississippi River , approximately 169 miles ( 272 km ) long , in the U.S. states of Wisconsin and Minnesota . The lower 125 miles ( 201 km ) of the river form the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota . The river is a National Scenic Riverway under the protection of the National Park Service . A hydroelectric plant at St. Croix Falls supplies power to the Minneapolis -- St. Paul metropolitan area .
Hudson River
Also in late 1776 , New England militias fortified the river 's choke point known as the Hudson Highlands , which included building Fort Clinton and Fort Montgomery on either side of the Hudson and a metal chain between the two . In 1777 , Washington expected the British would attempt to control the Hudson River , however they instead conquered Philadelphia , and left a smaller force in New York City , with permission to strike the Hudson Valley at any time . The British attacked on October 5 , 1777 in the Battle of Forts Clinton and Montgomery by sailing up the Hudson River , looting the village of Peeksill and capturing the two forts . In 1778 , the Continentals constructed the Great West Point Chain in order to prevent another British fleet from sailing up the Hudson .
Rocky Mountains
The western edge of the Rockies includes ranges such as the Wasatch near Salt Lake City and the Bitterroots along the Idaho - Montana border . The Great Basin and Columbia River Plateau separate these sub-ranges from distinct ranges further to the west , most prominent among which are the Sierra Nevada , Cascade Range and Coast Mountains . The Rockies do not extend into the Yukon or Alaska , or into central British Columbia , where the Rocky Mountain System ( but not the Rocky Mountains ) includes the Columbia Mountains , the southward extension of which is considered part of the Rockies in the United States . The Rocky Mountain System within the United States is a United States physiographic region ; the Rocky Mountain System is known in Canada as the Eastern System .
New Mexico
The New Mexican landscape ranges from wide , rose - colored deserts to broken mesas to high , snow - capped peaks . Despite New Mexico 's arid image , heavily forested mountain wildernesses cover a significant portion of the state , especially towards the north . The Sangre de Cristo Mountains , the southernmost part of the Rocky Mountains , run roughly north -- south along the east side of the Rio Grande in the rugged , pastoral north . The most important of New Mexico 's rivers are the Rio Grande , Pecos , Canadian , San Juan , and Gila . The Rio Grande is tied for the fourth - longest river in the United States .
Great Basin
The Great Basin is the largest area of contiguous endorheic watersheds in North America . It spans sections of Wyoming , Idaho , Utah , Nevada , Oregon , and California . It is noted for both its arid climate and the basin and range topography that varies from the North American low point at Badwater Basin to the highest point of the contiguous United States , less than 100 miles ( 160 km ) away at the summit of Mount Whitney . The region spans several physiographic divisions , biomes / ecoregions , and deserts .
Yosemite National Park
The Tuolumne and Merced River systems originate along the crest of the Sierra Nevada in the park and have carved river canyons 3,000 to 4,000 feet ( 910 to 1,220 m ) deep . The Tuolumne River drains the entire northern portion of the park , an area of approximately 680 square miles ( 1,800 km ) . The Merced River begins in the park 's southern peaks , primarily the Cathedral and Clark Ranges , and drains an area of approximately 511 square miles ( 1,320 km ) . U-shaped
Snake River
Formed by the confluence of three tiny headstreams on the southwest flank of Two Oceans Plateau in western Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park , the Snake starts out as a small river flowing west and south into Jackson Lake . Its first 50 miles ( 80 km ) run through the valley of Jackson Hole , which cuts between the Teton Range and the Continental Divide . The Snake takes a large bend northwest through Snake River Canyon , cutting through the Snake River Range and into eastern Idaho , receiving first the Hoback and Greys rivers before entering Palisades Reservoir . There it is also met by the Salt River at the mouth of Star Valley . After passing through Palisades Dam , the Snake River flows through the Snake River Plain , a vast physiographic province extending through southern Idaho across the massif of the Rocky Mountains and underlain by the Snake River Aquifer , one of the most productive aquifers in the United States .
Yadkin River
Yadkin County , North Carolina , and its county seat , the town of Yadkinville , are named after the river .
Snake River
The deluge caused American Falls Lake to breach its natural lava dam , which was rapidly eroded with only the 50 - foot - high ( 15 m ) American Falls left in the end . The flood waters of Lake Bonneville , approximately twenty times the flow of the Columbia River or 5,300,000 cubic feet per second ( 150,000 m / s ) , swept down the Snake River , leaving debris and sediment deposits across southern Idaho . For miles on either side of the Snake , flood waters stripped away soils and scoured the underlying basalt bedrock , in the process creating Shoshone Falls , Twin Falls , Crane Falls , and Swan Falls , while cutting and deepening gorges and canyons along the way . The Bonneville flood waters continued through Hells Canyon . The flood widened Hells Canyon but did not deepen it . The
River Thames
This created a new river course through Berkshire and on into London , after which the river rejoined its original course in southern Essex , near the present River Blackwater estuary . Here it entered a substantial freshwater lake in the southern North Sea basin . The overspill of this lake caused the formation of the Dover Strait gap between Britain and France . Subsequent development led to the continuation of the course that the river follows at the present day .

Across the River and into the Trees
Hemingway 's novel opens with aging Colonel Richard Cantwell duck hunting in Trieste , Italy . It then presents his life in a lengthy flashback , with Cantwell thinking about a young Venetian woman , Renata , and his experiences during World War I .
Meander
The meanders of a stream or river that has cut its bed down into the bedrock are known as either incised , intrenched , entrenched , inclosed or ingrown meanders . Some Earth scientists recognize and use a finer subdivision of incised meanders . Thornbury argues that incised or inclosed meanders are synonyms that are appropriate to describe any meander incised downward into bedrock and defines enclosed or entrenched meanders as a subtype of incised meanders ( inclosed meanders ) characterized by a symmetrical valley sides . He argues that the symmetrical valley sides are the direct result of rapid down - cutting of a watercourse into bedrock . In addition , as proposed by Rich , Thornbury argues that incised valleys with a pronounced asymmetry of cross section , which he called ingrown meanders , are the result of the lateral migration and incision of a meander during a period of slower channel downcutting . Regardless , the formation of both entrenched meanders and ingrown meanders is thought to require that base level falls as a result of either relative change in mean sea level , isostatic or tectonic uplift , the breach of an ice or landslide dam , or regional tilting . Classic examples of incised meanders are associated with rivers in the Colorado Plateau , the Kentucky River Palisades in central Kentucky , and streams in the Ozark Plateau . Goosenecks
Snake River
Mountain ranges in the Snake watershed include the Teton Range , Bitterroot Range , Clearwater Mountains , Seven Devils Mountains , and the extreme northwestern end of the Wind River Range . Grand Teton is the highest point in the Snake River watershed , reaching 13,775 feet ( 4,199 m ) in elevation . The elevation of the Snake River is 358 feet ( 109 m ) when it joins the Columbia River .
Androscoggin River
According to the USGS , variant names for the Androscoggin River include Amasagu'nteg , Amascongan , Ambrose Coggin , Ammeriscoggin , Ammoscoggin , Amos Coggin , Amoscommun , Anasagunticook , Anconganunticook , Andrews Coggin , Andros Coggan , Andros Coggin , Androscoggen , Andrus Coggin , Aumoughcaugen , and Ameriscoggin River .

Hudson Valley
The Hudson River valley runs primarily north to south down the eastern edge of New York State , cutting through a series of rock types including Triassic sandstones and redbeds in the south and much more ancient Precambrian gneiss in the north ( and east ) . In the Hudson Highlands , the river enters a fjord cut during previous ice ages . To the west lie the extensive Appalachian highlands . In the Tappan Zee region , the west side of the river has high cliffs produced by an erosion - resistant diabase ; these cliffs range from 400 -- 800 feet in height .
