Abstract
The South Skunk River originates in Hamilton County and flows in a generally southeasterly direction to its confluence with the North Skunk in Keokuk County. At this point the river has drained a total of 1840 square miles of Iowa land. North of Ames the river flows through a narrow post-glacial valley. It is meandering with a mud and rock bottom and a repeated riffle-pool configuration. The slope of the South Skunk in this reach varies from 7.8 feet per mile in the headwaters to 5.0 feet per mile from Story City to Ames.
