Abstract: Using the data measured from the topographic map of Northern Shanxi Province with a scale of 1:10000, a relationship between four small drainage basins in different geomorphic units of the Loess Plateau and the second order watershed morphic factors has been obtained. We can see that the law of total stream length with stream order is not available elsewhere at all. As the watershed system is in a developing stage, in Yuan regions, the damage made by channel erosion is more serious than that in hilly regions. There exists a semi-logarithmic relationship between the average intersectional angle (θ) and the stream (S) order.Among geomorphic factors of drainage basin, a closer correlation exists.If the drainage density is regarded as the downcutting index of the earth surface, then, the larger the drainage basin area, the smaller the downcutting degree per unit area is. In a small-current drainage basin, the drainage density increases with height difference between the head and mouth of the drainage basin.A multi-correlation is among the drainage area (A), height difference between the head and mouth (H) of the drainage basin, the length of the main channel (T) and the drainage density (Dd). It may be described by the regression equation, as follows: Dd=K(T)m(A)-1(H)t where K is cofficient and m,n,t are powers, no.
