Abstract
Louisiana streams present a considerable variety of patterns. Contrasting types depend upon gradients, alluvial materials, load, variations in stage, and other factors of stream history. They serve as useful tools for the unraveling of flood-plain history, some characteristics, such as meander pattern, having greater reliability than others, such as channel width. In upland parts of the state, boundaries between aggradational surfaces may be distinguished on the basis of stream pattern alone. Studies thus far conducted in the field of stream planimetry suggest that this discipline might well be extended and offers the possibility of conclusions as significant as those derived from the geomorphological study of land forms.
