Michigan Rivers Exhibit Unusual Tree-Free Patterns in 1890s Study
Detroit Free Press notes Michigan rivers lack classic tree-like branching. Geologists call the St. Joseph the oldest river, while the Grand is the longest, though fed by diverted tributaries. Muskegon features a narrow 45 mile valley. Saginaw has large drainage from long tributaries. Au Sable is the swiftest in the south, Ocqueoc has southern falls, St Clair flows from a lake forming a delta, and Detroit River was the last formed.
