About the chikaskia river
The Chikaskia River is a tributary of the Arkansas River, located in Oklahoma, USA. The river is approximately 97 miles long and its name is derived from the Osage Indian language, meaning "place of the wild geese." The Chikaskia River drains an area of 1,620 square miles and flows through three counties. The river is used for irrigation, recreation, and serves as a source of drinking water for nearby communities. The Kaw Wildlife Refuge is located along the river, providing a habitat for various species of wildlife. The river is also home to several reservoirs and dams, including Kaw Lake, which was built in the 1970s for flood control and water supply. The construction of these dams has significantly impacted the river's hydrology and ecology.
