	Ohio River - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The river is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers in downtown Pittsburgh.
		The Ohio River was formed by glacial meltwater from the last stage of this ice age, the Wisconsin glaciation.
		Wherever the river serves as a boundary between states -- Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio on the north, and Kentucky and West Virginia on the south, the river essentially belongs to the two states on the south that were divided from Virginia.

	Teays River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Teays River was an important pre-glacial river that drained much of the area now drained by the Ohio River, and more.
		It was largely coincident with the New River and Kanawha River in West Virginia, and flowed for a short distance with the Ohio River before turning north and west in Ohio, and included part of the course of the Scioto River as well.
		A look at topographic maps, vegetational maps, or shaded relief maps of Ohio clearly show the old course of the river, before it was captured, as it turned north from the present course of the Ohio River, thence west to join with the current Scioto River valley.

	New River Gorge NR - Geology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The motion of the river that is most important to our geologic story is the motion that results in erosion, the rivers ability to cut into its channel and carry away sediment.
		Most of the river's energy is spent overcoming friction in passing over the river channel and its obstacles and is converted into heat.
		This caused the Teays to seek a new course skirting the edge of the glacier.

		The preglacial Teays drained northwestward from the Blue Ridge of Virginia across West Virginia and Ohio.
		The portion of the Teays Valley extending east-west from Huntington is filled with Late Tertiary alluvium and Early Pleistocene lacustrine clay.
		The uppermost sediments of the Teays paleovalley consist of loess, emplaced by eolian activity during the cold/dry phases of the Pleistocene.

	Some Natural History of the Scioto
		Before the modern Ohio River existed, the Scioto watershed area was drained by the Teays River which rose in North Carolina and flowed north-west through central Ohio.
		The New River of Virginia and West Virginia still flows northward through the gorge of the Teays, beyond the farthest reach of the glaciers.
		So the flow of the Teays was "stolen" by the Ohio River, including the Teays north of the Ohio, and the Scioto River began to run southward through the same valley that the Teays occupied flowing northward.

		It flows under the Mad River Basin at a rapid rate as it is an artery of water that is hundreds of years old.
		The River Teays was covered by an earth shift caused by a glacier that passed through and runs close under the sub-surface of Campbell Hill.
		Mad River is possibly one of the last natural cold water habitats in the universe.

	Clinton, IL- Weldon Springs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Known as the Teays River, it was born in the Paleozoic Age when the land began to rise and drain the inland sea that once covered most of central North America.
		The biggest river of interior America, the Teays was fed by the ancient Mississippi, Iowa and Missouri rivers.
		The Teays stopped flowing as a surface stream, but groundwater, resting on an impervious layer of bedrock, flows easily through the till deposits under the influence of gravity, seeping out of the sand and gravel to form the springs.

	GeoFacts No. 10, The Teays River
		The Teays River was an ancient stream, comparable in size to the modern Ohio River, that once drained much of the east-central U.S., including nearly two-thirds of Ohio.
		Remnants of the valley of the Teays River are preserved as flat-bottomed valleys in hilly, unglaciated southern Ohio and as deep valleys now filled with sediment in the glaciated portion of the state.
		The entire extent of the Teays and its tributaries north of the glacial border is buried beneath thick glacial drift.

		The river's origin was in the original Appalachian Mountains which it substantially wore down to the Appalachian Peneplain.
		When the peneplain was uplifted into the plateau, the river was carried upward on the surface of the rising land.
		Rejuvenated, the Teays carved a deep gorge now known as the New River Gorge which today is spanned by a unique bridge favored by bungee jumpers and parachutists and is the site of the popular Bridge Day in October.

		The principal areas of its exposure in Illinois are in the Dixon-Oregon area and the Ottawa-La Salle area, where the rocks of Middle Ordovician age are folded and brought to the bedrock surface along the flanks of the Oregon Anticlinorium, the Ashton Arch, and the La Salle Anticlinorium.
		Closer to the Vermilion River, where the Platteville Limestone overlying the St. Peter Sandstone is visible, the rocks are folded, and the strata dip steeply toward the river along the west flank of the La Salle Anticlinorium.
		As the Illinois River was deepening and cutting cascades through the St. Peter Sandstone, the Vermilion River was deepening and cutting through the overlying Pennsylvanian strata and the Platteville Group.

		Rivers are vital conduits for plant migration and these streams play a major role.
		The ancient Teays River originated in what is now North Carolina and flowed northwest, entering Ohio in Scioto County.
		Many Appalachian plants may have migrated north along the Teays and established populations well to the north of their current distributional centers, some of which persist today.

	THE NEW RIVER FRONTIER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Analysis Of the eighteenth-century frontier in the New River Valley, on the western Virginia-North Carolina border, illustrates significant factors of the settlement pattern in the antebellum Piedmont and Appalachian South.
		The industry and self-sufficiency of this group is especially evident in the New River settlement, which was geographically remote from the East, at the southern end of the Valley of Virginia, on the western side of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
		Actually one of the old rivers in the world, it is a remnant of the great prehistoric Teays River which traversed almost half the continent before it was drastically altered by the last ice age; only that portion known as the New River remained in almost its original state.

	Adventures in West Virginia
		The New was born as part of an ancient river system known today as the "Teays." Five hundred million years ago, in what geologists call the Paleozoic Era, Africa and North America collided.
		The Teays River, with headwaters near present-day Blowing Rock, North Carolina, drained the northern and western slopes of these new mountains.
		That the river predates the surrounding mountains is evidenced by the fact that it flows diagonally across the mountains and through them...rather than around them.

	The Teays River Valley, near Geneva Indiana
		The Teays River was one to two miles wide and over 500 feet deep before the Wisconsin Glacier moved through the area.
		The watershed map [which remains unscannable so far, for this website] shows the relationship of the Teays River (outlined in red) and the pre-drainage Limberlost Swamp (light blue.) It is here in the Limberlost that the Teays River made a turn from a southwest flow to a nearly straight west flow.
		The Teays River and the glacier helped to create this depression, but much of the work we have done in the past 20 years to improve drainage has helped to increase the flooding problems and degrade the water quality.

		The New River is believed to be the oldest river on the continent and the second oldest in the world (The Nile is considered the oldest on the planet.).
		The New River was once part of the Teays River system which emptied into the Atlantic via the channel currently occupied by the St. Lawrence River.
		Water was forced to flow along the edge of the ice age and the Ohio River formed, draining waters of the New River to the Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico.

		Prior to any glacial advance, the area was drained by the Teays River (Teays Age Licking River) and its tributaries, flowing north around the present Cincinnati, forming a large bend (Durrell 1977).
		The Kansan ice sheet dammed the Teays and deposits of lake clay filled the valley in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky.
		When the glacier lobes melted, huge braided rivers occupied the majority of the region, carrying large volumes of water and coarse to medium coarse sediment, such as will be described from Site 2, Watson Gravel Quarry.

	Ohio River Valley Ecosystem Team
		The New and Kanawha Rivers are the mainstem headwaters of the ancient Teays River, second only to the Nile River as the oldest existing river system on earth.
		Because of the relatively undisturbed nature of the river, characterized by good water quality, clean swept sand, gravel and cobble substrate, and high fish diversity, the river supports up to 38 species of freshwater mussels including two federally listed species, the endangered pink mucket pearlymussel, Lampsilis abrupta and the endangered fanshell, Cyprogenia stegaria.
		This reach of the Kanawha River supports one of the largest and most stable reproducing populations of the pink mucket pearlymussel in the Ohio River Valley Ecosystem.

	Preglacial Drainage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Glacial processes altered these rivers' previous courses, but did not carve out entirely new paths, for the trunks of major rivers remain similar between present and pre-glacial times.
		For example, the headwaters, or beginning, of the ancient Teays River were in North Carolina and the river can be traced to central Ohio.
		Glaciation dammed and filled the trunk valley, forcing rivers to overflow and establish new patterns, which are the rivers that we see today.

	What's New?
		The search for the New River’s name begins with early explorers who happened upon the New River and presumed that they had found the river that would lead them west to the other side of the New World.
		Geologists, in the very early days, associated the New River with the prehistoric river Teays because it was the only remaining tributary.
		Other theories imply that the New River was named after a ranger named Francis New, or an early ferryman, or even by North Carolina’s governor in 1750.
