DescriptionReach B5 is 7.4 miles long and is located near Huntley and Spraklin Island. The reach is an Unconfined Anabranching (UA) reach type, which indicates little influence by the valley wall coupled with relatively extensive forested islands and side channels. These reach types tend to be the most dynamic within the river corridor. Reach B5 flows northward though a wide valley section where the relatively erodible Bearpaw shale has retreated over geologic time, leaving an unusually broad river corridor. In Reach B5 the river crosses the valley from south to north, further contributing to the lack of confinement and allowance for channel migration.TypeTextGenredocumentsLanguageeng Date2016-03-16SubjectRivers--MontanaYellowstone RiverYellowstone River WatershedContributing InstitutionMontana State LibraryGeographic CoverageYellowstone RiverMontanaDigital CollectionYellowstone River Corridor StudyDigital Formatapplication/pdfDigitization SpecificationsBorn PDF documentsCopyrightCC0
