Summary
5 aerial photographs were taken along the Little Missouri River in 1995. All images were geo-referenced to the 1995 digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles as described by Miller and Friedman (2009). Both the flood plain and active channel of the river were delineated on the 1995 digital orthophoto quadrangles and overlaid on rectified photos. ArcGIS was used to draw the polygons that delineate the flood plain and active channel; the delineation was saved as a SHP file. The separate images (geoTIFFs) can be viewed as a composite along with that year's channel delineation (SHP file) using a geographic information system (GIS) application. Reference: Miller, J.R., and J.M. Friedman. 2009. Influence of flow variability on flood-plain formation [...]

Purpose
These referenced photos were used to delineate the channel location on a 17.9 km. section of the Little Missouri River from 1939 to 2003. Users can overlay the channel locations (SHP files) from different years in a GIS and quantify changes over time in the active channel location within the flood plain.
