	Kentucky Atlas and Gazetteer - Elkhorn Creek (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Elkhorn Creek is an Inner Bluegrass stream that runs for 86 miles through Fayette, Scott, Woodford, and Franklin counties.
		Elkhorn river, a branch of the Kentucky, from the south-east, waters a country fine beyond description.
		The soil within a mile or two of Kentucky river is generally of the third and fourth rates; and as you advance towards the Ohio, the land is poor and hilly.

		The segment of the lower Platte River of interest in this question extends downstream from the confluence of the Elkhorn River with the lower Platte to the mouth of the lower Platte at its confluence with the Missouri River.
		Rivers where pallid sturgeon are found are often high in dissolved solids and high in conductivity, but little is known of their specific requirements for these conditions.
		Those fluctuations and runoff events from the Elkhorn River, Salt Creek, and smaller tributaries result in irregular rises in discharge in the lower Platte that may be important for its use by pallid sturgeon; many riverine fishes require rising flows to initiate spawning activities.

		The Platte River is formed near the town of North Platte in western Nebraska by the confluence of the North Platte and South Platte Rivers.
		Flows of the Platte River are controlled by reservoir operations on the North Platte River in Wyoming and Lake McConaughy (since 1941) near the mouth of the North Platte River in Nebraska upstream from the study unit (Bentall et al., 1975).
		The Elkhorn River, in the eastern and northeastern part of the study unit, flows through rolling hills, and well-defined valleys of stable glacial material except where it originates in the Sandhills (Figure 1).

	Andreas' History of the State of Nebraska - Dodge Co.
		DODGE COUNTY is one of the eastern in the second tier of counties, and is seamed through its southern portion by the rich valley of the Platte River, and in its eastern sections by the fertile valley of the tortuous Elkhorn, which, with its branches, spreads over the entire surface.
		The county, wedged in as it is at the junction of the Platte and Elkhorn Rivers, and bound together by the union of the Pacific and Elkhorn Valley Railroads, seems to be not only the natural concentration of fertility, but the outlet for the transportation of the great stock product of the State.
		The Elkhorn River, a tributary of the Platte, is the second stream in importance in the county.

		After collecting their cattle, the pioneers moved parallel to the river for about two miles to a place where a grove of trees provided shade, shelter and wood for fires.

	Antelope County NE 1868 - Chapter Four
		Sometimes even the Elkhorn River was not effective as a fire-guard, the fire having been known on several occasions during a strong wind to jump across the river and set fire to the grass on the opposite side.
		There were some low tracts of moist meadow along the Elkhorn, an extensive tract of similar meadow land on the Willow, perhaps some small tracts on the Bazile and Clearwater creeks, and also little narrow strips of good hay along the sloping banks of the ravines.
		The Elkhorn was named by the French Canadians Corne de Cerf or Horn of the Elk, because of its resemblance in form, with its branches, to the horn of an elk.

		Therefore, current conditions on the central Platte River appear to be compromising the continued existence (survival) of the interior population of least terns.
		The Platte and Loup River population contributed substantially to the persistence of the greater interior metapopulation as it was modeled.
		The decline in the river’s plover population has been coincidental with the loss of its preferred habitat, especially in the central Platte River, where suppressed variability in flow has led to reductions in sandbars and beaches and indirectly to increased woodland and reduced open sandy areas.

		The river was unchanged by man for much of its history, however, low rainfall (drought) at the western part (upper basin) caused irrigation problems, and high rainfall at the eastern end caused flooding problems in the lower basin.
		The Platte River was used as the dividing line for the first counties of the Nebraska Territory, four counties on the north, and four on the southern side.
		All of Nebraska's rivers are important to the economy of the state due to their enormous contribution to the communities as a source of filling reservoirs, providing recreational areas, hunting and fishing game lands, and providing farming communities the water needed to raise crops.

		The objectives of our research in the lower Platte River were to 1) Document the population structure and distribution of sturgeon using the lower Platte River, 2) Document sturgeon habitat use and food habits, and 3) Determine if the Platte River is acting as a spawning area for sturgeon.
		To study sturgeon populations in the lower Platte River, six sampling sites were established between the confluence of the Platte and Missouri rivers and the mouth of the Loup River at Columbus, Nebraska approximately 160 km upstream.
		Length analysis of the shovelnose sturgeon population in the lower Platte River (figure 2) reveals that most fish were between 500 and 625 mm with the most abundant size class being 551 to 575 mm.
