Branch Creek Watershed Central Mississippi River Basin LTAR (CMRB)
Represents low-permeability soils, prone to surface runoff.
Originally prairie dissected by wooded riparian river corridors.
Now the prairie is intensely agricultural. Primary crops are
soybean, corn, sorghum, and wheat. Low permeability means cropland
is not drained. Much of the stream network has been channelized to
combat seasonal flooding. Erosion, sedimentation, and streambank
processes are important.
