Brian & Mike,

I have been following this extended discourse on finding the truth about MN-ND-SD, and

am naturally very interested in the outcome. Unfortunately, I have nothing to add except

encouragement and hope that Brian will turn up some definitive information on his visit

to the site.

Jack

I don't really know what kind of rechanneling might take place during a major flood, so I suppose a natural avulsion could have taken place between 1862 and 1891. I wish the USGS could tell us what information they used to construct their map. I doubt that they just guessed. Hopefully the USACE map did not simply propagate the guess. It is a much smaller scale map, about 1:12000 and depicts the river and adjacent features in great detail, hopefully with great accuracy. So I guess I'll take my maps, questions, GPS, inner tube, and tape measure out there for a look. Maybe some new information can be gleaned during an extended field trip. BJB
