Shapefile created by USGS. This is a channel polygon coverage with USGS-delineated bends, each attributed with rive mile (location along river), bend area, thalweg sinuosity, mean channel width, standard deviation of channel width, number of navigation structures per kilometer of channel, total length of navigation structures per kilometer of channel, area of persistent sand, and catch per unit effort of age-0 Scaphirhynchus sturgeon. Each bend is also attributed with statistically determined cluster assignment according to 3-, 4-, and 6-cluster k-means clustering.
