    Guidebook for Field Trips for the Thirty-Fifth Annual Meeting of the North-Central Section of the Geological Society of America April 23-24, 2001 David Malone, Editor ISGS Guidebook 33 2001 George H. Ryan, Governor Department of Natural Resources ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY William W. Shilts, Chief EDITOR'S MESSAGE Greetings from the Executive Committee of the North Central Section of the Geological Society of America! As geologists, we all recognize the great importance of field experiences. This year's meeting includes a diverse and excellent set of field trips. Collectively, this year's field trips visit a broad spectrum of the geologic features of Illinois and Missouri that range in age from Precambrian to Quaternary. These trips present a number of new ideas and interpretations that will broaden the perspectives of all field trip participants. Your participation, interaction, and exchange of ideas with the field trip leaders are encouraged at all times These trips are the culmination of the time and energy freely given by a number of individuals. I would like to thank and recognize the field trip leaders for their hard work in planning the field trips and preparing the individual field guides. I would also like to thank the technical reviewers at Illinois State University and the Illinois State Geological Survey for their efforts. I appreciate the efforts of Jon Goodwin and the publication staff at the Illinois State Geological Survey for their substantial work in preparing this field guide. A special thanks goes out to the property owners who have been most helpful in planning these trips.

An article regarding Benton's illustrations for three of Mark Twain's classics appears in this issue of the REVIEW.

  • St. Francis Watershed
    ST. FRANCIS RIVER WATERSHED INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT PREPARED BY: MARK BOONE Fisheries Management Biologist July 2001 For further information contact: Fisheries Regional Supervisor Southeast Regional Headquarters 2302 County Park Dr. Cape Girardeau, MO 63701 Executive Summary The St. Francis River originates in Iron County in Southeast Missouri and flows 225 miles to the Missouri/Arkansas border. In Missouri, the basin is equally divided (north and south) between the high-relief Ozark Plateau and the low-relief Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Wappapello Dam and Lake are located on the divide. For inventory and planning purposes, the basin is separated into two dissimilar subbasins: the upper subbasin above Wappapello Dam and the lower subbasin below Wappapello Dam. The basin drains 1,839 square miles in Missouri. The headwater area is dominated by igneous rock in the Ozark uplift (St. Francois Mountains), followed in a downstream direction by sandstone and dolomites. The alluvial plain of the lower subbasin is topped with a layer of unconsolidated gravel, sand, silt, and clay and is bordered on the east by Crowleys Ridge. Drainage in the lower subbasin has been altered by a system of levees and drainage ditches. Most of the west bank of the lower St. Francis River is a levee, which prevents drainage into the river from the west. The predominance of impervious rock in the upper basin limits infiltration and subsurface flows causing rapid runoff, flashy hydrographs, frequent flooding, and a poor aquifer that provides low, unstable base flows. Six dams are located in the upper subbasin which can affect flows and fish movement.
