Some Notes (17 March 2005)Mmcannis 22:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The Blue River (Arizona) is a N-S river in very eastern Arizona, and is a tributary of the San Francisco River. The Blue and San Francisco Rivers were added to the List of Arizona rivers.

The only major additions that are left out of this article, are some of the major Creeks, etc, ...that are at the base of the Mogollon Rim. These are all tributaries to other rivers(for example Tonto Creek (Arizona), in the Tonto National Forest/ also the Oak Creek (Arizona)(drains the Sedona, Arizona valleys and canyons), tributary to the Verde River-which has seen historical volumes of flooding), but are the substantial Water-volume suppliers. Snowmelt, rains, or rains upon melting snowfalls/ or snowpacks (typically late spring), can bring spectacular runoff events in Arizona. --MMcAnnisMmcannis 22:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
