Black River
Black River
The Black River originates in Reynolds and Iron Counties, MO and flows south through Wayne and Butler Counties and into Arkansas. Due to the differences in geology, hydrology, habitat, biota, land use, and water quality, the basin is separated into two subbasins: the upper subbasin upstream of Clearwater Dam and the lower subbasin downstream of Clearwater Dam to the Arkansas state line.
