USGS defined bends, Lower Missouri River

Description

Shapefile created by USGS by generating a centerline between the banks of the Lower Missouri River and identifying inflections in the centerline. Inflections were used to automatically define upstream and downstream limits of the bend. Lateral limits of bends were extended to encompass all of the high banks of the river. The centerline was identified using the river miles of the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers as defined in 1960.
