The Tarkio River (also known as the Big Tarkio River) is a non-navigable river that stretches for approximately from Cass County, Iowa to its mouth on the Missouri River in Holt County, Missouri. The river basin which drains approximately is sandwiched between the Nishnabotna River to the west and the Nodaway River to the east. The name "Tarkio" is from a Native American word meaning "place where walnuts grow". The river passes rural areas and figures most prominently in the drainage system nears its mouth in management of Big Lake, Missouri and the Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge. Several streams and ditches in the Missouri River bottoms near its mouth contain the Tarkio name. ==Course== The river starts as an arroyo in Cass County, Iowa () southeast of Griswold, Iowa and becomes a full stream just south of the county line in Montgomery County, Iowa north of Stanton, Iowa and heads south through Montgomery County into Page County, Iowa passing Coin, Iowa. It enters Missouri in Atchison County, Missouri at Blanchard, Iowa. It passes Tarkio, Missouri and Fairfax, Missouri (which is the main gage for river reporting). It enters Holt County near Corning, Missouri and enters the Missouri River at river mile (RM) 507 or river kilometer (RK) 816 (). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tarkio River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
