| | Cimarron Basin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Principal tributaries of the Cimarron River in Kansas are the North Fork Cimarron, Crooked Creek, Bluff Creek and on occasions of high runoff, Bear Creek (see Figure 1). |
 | | In April 2001, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the Cimarron River in Clark, Comanche, Meade and Seward counties, from U.S. Highway 54 bridge downstream to the Kansas-Oklahoma border, as critical habitat for the Arkansas River Shiner. |
 | | The climate of the basin is characterized by moderate to low precipitation, relatively high wind velocities, fairly rapid rates of evaporation, a wide range of temperatures and abrupt, sometimes violent changes in weather. |
