Map of the Missouri River and its tributaries in North America

نهر ميزوري (Missouri River) هو نهر في الولايات المتحدة الغربية. وهو رافد من نهر الميسيسيبي، وأطول منه. يعد في الحقيقة النهر الأطول في أمريكا الشمالية. يتدفق ميزوري في أغلب مساراته عبر السهول الكبرى، وهي واحدة من أجف الأجزاء في أمريكا الشمالية.

المسار

مصدر نهر ميزوري في جبال الروكي، في ولاية مونتانا. يتدفق ميزوري شرقا، عبر مونتانا، إلى جنوب الحدود مع كندا. يدخل ولاية داكوتا الشمالية وبعد ذلك يتجه جنوبا، ويتدفق عبر داكوتا الجنوبية. ثم يجري على طول آيوا، ونبراسكا، وميزوري، وكانزاس.

بالقرب من كانزاس سيتي، يتجه النهر شرقا إلى ولاية ميزوري. يتدفق شرقا عبر الولاية، ثم ينضم إلى ميسيسيبي شمال مدينة سانت لويس، ميزوري. ميزوري كان مهماً جداً بالنسبة للأمريكيين الأصليين الذين عاشوا في السهول الكبرى، كما كان مهما جدا أيضا في تاريخ الولايات المتحدة. استعمل ميزوري كطريق لبعثة لويس وكلارك بين عامي 1804 و 1806.


المفيض

There is only one river with a personality, a sense of humor, and a woman's caprice; a river that goes traveling sidewise, that interferes in politics, rearranges geography, and dabbles in real estate; a river that plays hide and seek with you today and tomorrow follows you around like a pet dog with a dynamite cracker tied to his tail. That river is the Missouri.
-George Fitch, circa 1840[7]

With a drainage basin spanning 529,350 square miles (1,371,000 km2),[4] the Missouri's catchment encompasses nearly one-sixth of the area of the United States[8] or just over five percent of the continent of North America.[9] The mostly flat, arid basin, comparable to the size of the Canadian province of Quebec, encompasses most of the northern Great Plains, stretching over 1,500 miles (2,400 km) from the Rocky Mountains in the west to the Mississippi River valley in the east. From north to south it reaches well over 1,600 miles (2,600 km), from the southern extreme of western Canada in the north to the Arkansas River valley of the south. Compared with the Mississippi River above their confluence, the Missouri is actually much longer (150%) and drains a far greater area (309%). However, the flow of the Missouri at the confluence accounts for only 45 percent of the total amount of water below the meeting of the rivers.[5][10]

Over 95 major tributaries and hundreds of smaller ones feed the Missouri River, with most of the larger ones coming in as the river draws close to the mouth.[11] The largest by discharge are the Yellowstone, Osage, Kansas and Platte. On the other end of the scale is the tiny Roe River in Montana, which at 201 feet (61 m) long is commonly held to be the world's shortest river.[12] Tributaries of the Missouri River over 40 miles (64 km) long[13] are listed going downstream also noting the state in which they enter.

في القرن التاسع عشر، أصبح ميزوري مهما جدا كطريق للنقل. يلقب النهر "بالوحل الكبير"، لأنه يحتوي على الكثير من الغرين. لميزوري العديد من الروافد المهمة، منها: نهر يلوستون، ونهر بلات، ونهر كانزاس.
