Evolution of drainage systems and slopes in badlands at Perth Amboy, New Jersey
Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (May 1956) 67 (5): 597-646

Abstract

To analyze the development of erosional topography the writer studied geomorphic processes and landforms in a small badlands area at Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The badlands developed on a clay-sand fill and were morphologically similar to badlands and areas of high relief in semiarid and arid regions. A fifth-order drainage system was selected for detailed study.
