Interlocking spurs are features found in the upper course of a river, where the river twists and turns around hills or ridges as it flows down a valley. As the river erodes the landscape, it follows the path of least resistance, curving around harder rocks. This causes the river to wind its way through the valley, creating a zigzag pattern where the hills appear to "lock" into each other like the pieces of a zip.
