  Verdigris River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Verdigris River is a tributary of the Arkansas River in southeastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma in the United States.
The Verdigris is formed near Madison, Kansas by the convergence of two short headwaters streams, its North and South Forks, and flows generally southward throughout its course.
In Kansas, the Verdigris collects the Fall River at the town of Neodesha and the Elk River at the town of Independence.

The Neosho River is a tributary of the Arkansas River in eastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma in the United States.

In Oklahoma, it is joined by the Spring River in Ottawa County and the Elk River in Delaware County.

 Ft Gibson, Oklahoma
The river bottom land near their landing place was low and fertile, and covered by an immense canebrake, great forest trees, and a jungle of vines and undergrowth.
Someone halooed across the river, and a scow, which served as ferryboat, was brought over; the travelers entered the boat, which was poled by soldiers across the stream; as it was tied up to the landing the visitors stepped ashore and walked up the bank 150 yards to the gate of the garrison.
Men engaged in cutting poles for the line were crossing the Grand River on a ferry flatboat on April 20, 1874, when in the middle of the river, by awkward handling of the front guy rope, the boat was allowed to swing broadside to the current; this caused it to fill with water and sink.

 Flint Hills geomorphology, Kansas
The upper North Branch Verdigris River flows toward the NNW as does the South Fork Cottonwood, and headwater streams of the Fall drainage flow opposite to the SSE.
At one time, the North Branch Verdigris River may have extended farther west, as the ancestral Verdigris, but the western portion was captured by headward erosion of the South Fork Cottonwood River.
Valley asymmetry is the result of systematic river migration during downcutting, which may reflect long-term crustal warping downward to the south and east across much of eastern Kansas (Aber 1997).

 Verdigris River - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Verdigris River
The Verdigris rises southwest of Emporia, and empties into the Arkansas River 8 km/5 mi northeast of Muskogee.
From its source, the Verdigris flows southeast through Toronto Lake (an artificial reservoir), then southeast past Neodesha – where it is joined from the west by the Fall River – to Coffeyville.
Entering Oklahoma, it runs south through Oologah Lake, and around the eastern edge of Tulsa (through the city's port of Catoosa, on the Arkansas River Navigation System) to its junction with the Arkansas River, just upstream from the mouth of the Neosho River.

The Arkansas River shiner was widespread and abundant in the large prairie tributaries of the upper Arkansas River system in Kansas and Oklahoma (1).
The first collection of the Arkansas River shiner from the North Canadian (Beaver) River drainage was from Coldwater Creek SE of Guymon in Texas County, and in Sleeping Bear Creek, SW of Buffalo in Harper County in 1926 (1).
In 1957 five specimens of the Arkansas River shiner were collected from the Verdigris River in Wagoner County near Okay (18).

 Caney River, Oklahoma
The river flows parallel to and west of US Highway 75 until a few miles below Bartlesville, where it passes under the highway for a few miles before crossing under US Highway 169 near Collinsville, below which it enters the Verdigris River.
The Caney River is basically a flatwater stream with a gentle gradient that makes it well suited for recreational paddlers in canoes and kayaks, though rafts can ply the river if they don't mind a slow, uneventful ride.
The river is accessible from several points allowing for trips of various lengths, but there are no known campgrounds between Wah-Sha-She State Park and the Verdigris River confluence.

The difference in elevation from the beginning of the system (mile point 600 on the Mississippi River) to the end (the Tulsa Port of Catoosa) is 420 feet.
The system is entered via the White River; continued on the Arkansas Post Canal; then up the Arkansas River to Muskogee; and on to the Tulsa Port of Catoosa via the Verdigris River.
The system was channeled up the Verdigris to Catoosa from Muskogee, rather than up the Arkansas to Tulsa, because the Arkansas River at Tulsa is 110' higher in elevation than the Verdigris at Catoosa.
