Bighorn River Side Channel Investigation: Geomorphic Analysis
Geomorphic analysis of vertical and lateral historical changes on the Bighorn River from Yellowtail Dam to St. Xavier Bridge was conducted in order to investigate the loss of side channels in recent decades. Vertical changes were investigated by examining bed elevation changes at the USGS gage (station no. 06287000, Bighorn River near St. Xavier, MT) and by resurveying historical cross sections established during the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) wetted perimeter study in 1997 (Frazer, 1997). Lateral changes were investigated through detailed geomorphic mapping on seven sets of historical aerial photography from 1939 to 2006.
