FIG. 103. Pond formed by irregular growth of a delta, Ludlowville, N. Y.(C. S. Downes, photographer). it, frequently abandoning one curve and commencing an-other. Thus a new channel is carved in the floodplain,while the old channel, being separated from the main streamby river floodplain deposit, then becomes a true lake. Suchlakes are strikingly developed on the Mississippi River flood-plain(Figs. 100 and 101), where, in some cases, they have theshape of perfect meanders or ox-bow curves. When cut offby a change in the river, they are known as ox-bow-cut-off102). On the floodplains of many of the largesmall streams in New York this class of lake is wellllustrated by linear ponds in which all stages of separationfrom the main stream are illustrated.
