	Coteau du Missouri Information
		The Coteau du Missouri, or Missouri Plateau, is a large plateau that stretches along the eastern side of the valley of the Missouri River in central North Dakota and north central South Dakota in the United States.
		To the east of the plateau, the lowland valley of the James River was formed by the lobe of the most recent ice age, separating the plateau from the Coteau des Prairies to the east.
		Agriculturally the plateau is a grain and livestock region.

		As the Missouri river marks approximately the lower edge of the ice-sheet, the region W. of this stream is almost free from glacial deposits and presents a strong contrast to the rest of the state.
		The Missouri river, the most important stream within the state, crosses the western boundary near the 48th parallel, and after pursuing a winding course in a general sooth-easterly direction, leave~s the state near the centre of its southern boundary.

	HYDROLOGY OF PRAIRIE POTHOLES IN NORTH DAKOTA - C
		For this study the Coteau du Missouri is defined as that region of dead-ice moraine which lacks a well-integrated drainage system and lies between the Missouri escarpment on the northeast and the well-drained ground moraine adjacent to the Missouri River on the southwest.
		Glacial drift west of the Coteau du Missouri consists mainly of thin ground moraine that is discontinuous and patchy near the Missouri River.
		Most of the Coteau du Missouri is covered by dead-ice moraine of which about 90 percent is glacial till and the rest is small amounts of outwash and lake deposits.

	James River (Dakotas) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The James River (also known as the Jim River or the Dakota River) is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 710 mi (1,143 km) long, in the U.S. states of North Dakota and South Dakota.
		The river provides the main drainage of the flat lowland area of the Dakotas between the two plateau regions known as the Coteau du Missouri and the Coteau des Prairies.
		This narrow area was formed by the lobe of a glacier during the last ice age, and as a consequence the watershed of the river is slender and it has fewer major tributaries for a river of its length.

		Marking the division between the Central Lowland on the east and the Great Plains on the west is a section called the Coteau du Missouri, or “hills of the Missouri,” which is part of the glaciated section of the Missouri Plateau.
		The glacial moraine of the Coteau du Missouri appears in a series of hummocks and hills 30 to 40 m (100 to 150 ft) high.
		The Missouri River has cut a channel from 120 to 150 m (400 to 500 ft) deep, and the stream bed between the bluffs is as much as 5 km (3 mi) wide in some places.

		The Missouri River Trench is the geological name applied to the broad valley of the Missouri River as it flows southward through North Dakota and South Dakota in the United States.
		Geologically, the valley separates the main plateau of the Great Plains to the west from the Coteau du Missouri to the east.
		Although cultivation has added markedly to the sediment in the river as it flows through the valley, the water was turbid even before the widespread introduction of agriculture, according to early European travellers.

	The Great Plains and its Environments
		In the Dakotas, the dividing line is the Coteau du Missouri, a belt of hills fifty to seventy five miles east of the Missouri River, roughly paralleling that stream, and continuing into southern Saskatchewan from the northwestern corner of North Dakota.
		East and north of the Coteau belt, the bedrock has been deeply buried by glacial debris and the land surface owes its form primarily to the activity of the continental ice sheets from the north.
		Along the Missouri and other major streams, and southward along the eastern part of our area, these belts are from two to ten miles wide, covering the valley bottoms, fringing the bluffs, and sometimes extending onto the adjacent uplands.
