DescriptionReach A3 is 5.5 miles long and is just located upstream of the town of Big Timber. It is classified as a Partially Confined Braided (PCB) reach type indicating some valley wall influence and relative extensive open gravel bars and low flow secondary channels. This reach shows the passive loss of miles of anabranching channel length since 1950, similar to Reach A2 just upstream. The river has converted from having more than one primary channel to having a dominant main thread with intermittent side channels.TypeTextGenredocumentsLanguageeng Date2016-03-16SubjectRivers--MontanaYellowstone RiverYellowstone River WatershedContributing InstitutionMontana State LibraryGeographic CoverageYellowstone RiverMontanaDigital CollectionYellowstone River Corridor StudyDigital Formatapplication/pdfDigitization SpecificationsBorn PDF documentsCopyrightCC0
