The Knife River is a 23.9-mile-long (38.5 km)[2] river of northern Minnesota which drains a portion of Lake and Saint Louis counties into Lake Superior between Duluth and Two Harbors.[3]

Name

The Knife River's name is an accurate preservation of its native Ojibwe name, Mookomani-Ziibi.[4][5] Its original name was probably given on account of the long, sharp stones near the mouth of the river.[6]

Geography

The main branch of the Knife River flows 23.9 miles (38.5 km) from source to mouth,[2] flowing parallel to the shoreline from the direction of Two Harbors.[1] It has four or five major tributaries.[1] Its watershed is 84.3 square miles (218 km2), and contains 181.1 miles (291.5 km) of streams.[7] Since data began being collected in 1974, its mean annual daily water discharge has been calculated as 90.3 cubic feet per second (2.56 m3/s).[1] There is concern over the river's water quality due to suspended sediment, and it was placed on the state's impaired waters list in 1998.[8] A 2008 study found that about sixty percent of the sediment came from erosion of the streambanks, and about thirty from erosion of the river's bluffs.[1]

The Knife River's watershed is undeveloped, with 72% forest, 16% wetland, and 6% grassland.[7] 5% is used for agricultural purposes, and the remaining 1% is the unincorporated community of Knife River, Minnesota, located at the river's mouth.[7]

La sua ipotesi è poi stata ampiamente accolta dalla critica successiva ponendo il Maestro di Tressa come il più importa...
