Question

Answer 1

By definition almost no rivers run "through" a plateau because it is raised above the surroundings, so rivers run around it or off of it.

Here is some information about the small part that is in Oklahoma beside the western boundry river named in one of the other answers.

Answer 3

The Ozark Plateau is bounded on the southwest by the Neosho River, on the south by the Arkansas River, on the north by the Missouri and Osage rivers, and on the east by the Black River.

The Boston Mountains are the highest section of the Ozarks.

The majority of the Ozarks is forested; oak-hickory is the predominant type; cedars are common, with stands of pine Ozark rivers and streams are typically clear water, with baseflows sustained by many seeps and springs, and flow through forests along limestone bluffsoften seen in the southern range.

Lake Sequoyah is a small recreational fishing lake

The Lake of the Ozarks, Pomme de Terre Lake, and Truman Lake in the northern Ozarks were formed by damming the Osage River and its tributary the Pomme de Terre River in 1931, 1961 and 1979 respectively.
