     "text": "A 2,500 ft. reach of the Lake Fork was monumented and surveyed by the USGS in September 1998 and again in August 2000. Permanent reference marks were installed for vertical and horizontal control. The reference-mark locations (latitude and longitude) were determined with a global positioning system (GPS) receiver to facilitate replication of the survey at a future date. The survey consisted of longitudinal profiles of the streambanks, terraces, and the water surface at a streamflows of approximately 220 and 88 ft3/second. Nine channel cross sections were surveyed in the study reach. Cross sections were selected that represented the range of channel geometry in the reach or that were in locations likely to exhibit change should future adjustments occur in cross-section dimensions. The cross section endpoints were established on a relatively stable surface, monumented with rebar, and located with a GPS receiver."

     "text": "Land use in the Lake Fork Valley is predominantly agricultural (hay meadows and livestock grazing). Aerial photography from 1977 and onsite reconnaissance in 1992 and 1998 indicated that segments of the river channel had been artificially straightened. Other segments were braided and prone to bank erosion and lateral shifting. Prior to reconfiguration, the reach near the Gateview gage was characterized by a wide, shallow channel with a streambed composed of gravel, cobbles, and boulders."
