This photo from our second cross section is an example of significant changes to the river. Data was collected from this location in 2009 from a manned boat, with no issue. Upon return to the same cross section in 2013 we found a 2-4 ft hydraulic feature exposed. Backwater from the Great Works Dam hid this feature previously.

The Hell Creek and underlying Fox Hills Formations are present at the land surface along the margins of the Williston Basin, but otherwise are the deepest bedrock aquifers that are commonly used in the basin.
