In the list that follows, stations are numbered consecutively from the
mouth of the Big Blue River, listing stations on each tributary as it
is ascended. The letters following station-numbers indicate the
general type of stream: S = sandy; M = muddy; and G = gravelly. The
Big Blue River is the boundary between Riley and Pottawatomie
counties, Kansas, along part of its length. Stations in this area have
been designated Riley County. The legal description of each station is
followed by the date(s) of collection, and each station is plotted in
Figure 2.
