Deep Fork River
This river arises in Oklahoma County and flows between the North
Canadian and Cimarron Rivers to join the North Canadian River at the present day Lake
Eufaula. It is a much more sluggish river than either the Cimarron or North Canadian
Rivers and subsequently has a larger fauna represented. Included are species that require
stable substrates.

Canadian River
The Canadian River enters Oklahoma from the Texas Panhandle near the
Antelope Hills and generally flows parallel to the North Canadian River and joins with
that river at the present day Lake Eufaula. Like the North Canadian and the Cimarron, it
tends to be a sandy, shifting river with a limited, rather mobile mussel fauna.

Verdigris River
The Verdigris River enters northeastern Oklahoma in Nowata County and passes
through that county, Rogers County and Wagoner County and eventually enters the
Arkansas River near Fort Gibson in Muskogee County. The upper parts of the river
provides very favorable habitats for a variety of species. The lower parts of the river
