The purpose of a reconnaissance study is to provide an overview of the water and related land resource problems and needs within a particular geographic area, to identify planning objectives, to assess potential solutions and problems, to determine priorities for immediate and longrange action, and to identify the capabilities of various governmental units for implementing the actions. The information developed in this report has been combined with information developed in the other subbasin reports to produce a main report covering the basin as a whole. The various flood control measures discussed in this and in other subbasin reports are combined in the main report to develop the outline of an integrated flood control plan for the basin within the context of a comprehensive plan. The Forest River Subbasin is located in the northern North Dakota portion of the Red River Basin and includes portions of Walsh, Grand Forks, Nelson, and Ramsey counties. The major water features are the Forest River and its tributaries: the North Branch, Middle Branch, and South Branch.

The Rush River Subbasin is the smallest of the subbasins, occupying 304 square miles in the southern North Dakota portion of the Red River Basin. Actually, the Rush River Subbasin is not a subbasin to the Red River, since the Rush River empties into the Sheyenne River about six miles before the latter's confluence with the Red River. The subbasin is located entirely within Cass County and is bordered on the north by the Elm and Main Stem subbasins and on the east, west, and south by the Maple River Subbasin. Although various water resource agencies have authority in the area, the subbasin does not itself have a legal status.

The Elm River Subbasin is an irregularly shaped piece of land occupying 510 square miles of the central North Dakota portion of the Red River Basin. It is one of the smallest of the subbasins, occupying portions of three counties: Cass, Traill, and Steele. Most of the area is a featureless lake plain broken by wavelike swells or beachlines wth intervening sloughs and depressions. It has a claim to distinction in that it is almost totally under cultivation (94%).

The Sand Hill River Subbasin is a thin rectangle about eight miles wide and 55 miles long that encompasses 484 square miles of the central Minnesota portion of the Red River Basin, including parts of Polk, Norman, and Mahnomen counties. It is one of the smallest subbasins and is sandwiched between the Red River Subbasin on the north and east, the Wild Rice-Marsh River Subbasin on the south, and the Main Stem Subbasin on the west. The subbasin has attained a legal status through the formation of the Sand Hill River Watershed District in 1975.

The Turtle River Subbasin is an irregularly shaped area about 50 miles in length and ranging in width from six miles at its western and to 28 miles at its eastern end. It is one of the smallest of the subbasin occupying only 613 square miles of Grand Forks, Nelson, and Walsh counties in the central North Dakota portion of the Red River Basin.

The Buffalo River Subbasin occupies 1,189 square miles of the southern Minnesota portion of the Red River Basin and covers portions of the counties of Wilkin, Clay, Becker and Ottertail. Most of the land in the subbasin has been cleared for agriculture, although there are some large forest tracts in the eastern extremity, which reaches into the White Earth Indian Reservation. Surface water features include lakes, streams, ditches, creeks and potholes. The dominant water feature is the Buffalo River, which begins in Tamarac Lake in Becker County.

The Goose River Subbasin, located in the center of the North Dakota portion of the Red River Basin, includes portions of Nelson, Grand Forks, Steele, Traill, and Cass counties. Some of the lakes and shallow hollows in the slightly rolling topography receive the drainage of the vicinity but have no outlets; this, in effect, certain areas are natural storage reservoirs yet are not within the effective surface runoff area.

The Ottertail River Subbasin in southern Minnesota is one of the larger subbasins. Most of the subbasin is located in Ottertail County. A small, but agriculturally important area constitute by the flat plain of the Red River Valley lies in Wilkin County. The upper portion of the Subbasin falls into Becker County, and very small portions fall into Clay, Mahnomen, and Clearwater counties. Most of the Ottertail River Subbasin is covered with rolling hills and numerous lakes and depressions interspersed with cropland, pastureland, and forest, which makes this one of the richest of the subbasins with respect to environmental resources.
