North Fork Republican River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North Fork Republican River is a river that arises in Yuma County, Colorado, United States, and flows eastward for about 48 kilometers (30 mi) to the confluence with the South Fork Republican River in Dundy County, Nebraska, where they form the Republican River. The Arikaree River is the largest tributary of the river.
The North Fork Republican River drains an area of 13,172 square kilometers (5086 sq mi), including 11,522 square kilometers (4449 sq mi or 87.5%) in eastern Colorado, 1489 square kilometers (575 sq mi or 11.3%) in southwestern Nebraska, and 161 square kilometers (62 sq mi or 1.2%) in northwestern Kansas.[1]
