*The percent shown indicates that state's percentage of land use/cover represented in the entire watershed. Total land percentages for the basin are Missouri(44%) and Arkansas (56%).
1 No land use/cover types have been indicated for federal land. The major Corps of Engineer reservoirs have been added into the large water category but have not been subtracted from the Federal land total, so some overlap does occur.
2Indicates streams > 660 feet wide and lakes > 40 acres.
3Indicates streams < 660 feet wide and lakes < 40 acres.
