Nemaha River basin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nemaha River basin includes the areas of the U.S. state of Nebraska below the Platte River basin that drain directly into the Missouri River. The major streams of the drainage include Weeping Water Creek, Muddy Creek, Little Nemaha River, and Big Nemaha River. The basin has a total area of approximately 2,800 square miles, and includes much of southeastern Nebraska.
The name 'Nemaha' most likely originates in the Otoe phrase 'ni-ma-ha', which means 'muddy water' and refers to the water at corn-planting time.
