South Platte River
The
South Platte River
(
Arapaho
: Niinéniiniicíihéhe') is one of the two principal
tributaries
of the
Platte River
and is itself a major river of the American
Midwest
and the American
Southwest
/
Mountain West
, located in the
U.S. states
of
Colorado
and
Nebraska
. Its
drainage basin
includes much of the eastern flank of the
Rocky Mountains
in Colorado; much of the populated region known as the
Colorado Front Range
and
Eastern Plains
; and a portion of southeastern
Wyoming
in the vicinity of the city of
Cheyenne
. It joins the
North Platte River
in western Nebraska to form the Platte, which then flows across Nebraska to the
Missouri
. The river serves as the principal source of water for eastern Colorado. In its valley along the foothills in Colorado, it has permitted
agriculture
in an area of the
Colorado Piedmont
and
Great Plains
that is otherwise arid.
