Summary

This dataset describes the Survey Data collected for the Planning Assistance to the States (PAS) study along Little Sugar Creek and selected tributaries, near Bella Vista, Arkansas, and Pineville, Missouri, December 2019.

Little Sugar Creek is a tributary to the Elk River in Missouri that commences in Benton County, Arkansas and terminates in McDonald County, Missouri. The stream headwaters are located southeast of Garfield, Arkansas. Little Sugar Creek flows through Bella Vista, Arkansas, and runs north to its confluence with the Big Sugar Creek just south of Pineville, Missouri where it forms the Elk River. Browning Creek, Blowing Spring Creek, Spanker Creek and McKisic Creek are all tributaries to the Little Sugar Creek between Bella Vista, Arkansas, and Pineville, Missouri. These streams were selected for bathymetric and specified structure survey by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) PAS study.

The survey consisted of channel cross-sections, bridge/culvert cross-sections, and high-water locations along Little Sugar Creek, Browning, Blowing Spring, Spanker Creek, and McKisic Creek in the town of Bella Vista, Benton County, Arkansas to the town of Pineville, McDonald County, Missouri. The surveys included 38 channel cross-sections, 35 bridge/culvert cross-sections, 1 dam outlet works, 1 dam spillway, 1 dam road, and 3 high-water locations. Topographic data and supplemental photographic data were collected for each survey section. These data were collected using a surveying total station, Trimble R10, and a Trimble R8. Trimble R10 and Trimble R8 are the real-time kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. The GNSS receivers were connected to the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) or the Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) real-time network (RTN), which provided real-time survey grade horizontal and vertical positioning, and were used to obtain Northing, Easting, and the elevation location information for one control point in the survey area. Supplemental photographic data were collected using cellular telephone cameras. The survey was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey during a two-week period in December 2019.

Six items containing the survey data and the relevant information are available for download. They are LittleSugarCreekPAS_Culverts.xlsx, LittleSugarCreek_PAS_Bridges.xlsx, LittleSugarCreek_PAS_XS.xlsx, LittleSugarCreekPASmoshp.zip, LittleSugarPASarshp.zip, LittleSugarCreek_PAS_pictures_Summary.pptx, LittleSugarCreek_PAS_Field_Pictures.pdf, and LittleSugarCreek_PAS_Field_Sheets.pdf. The topographic points with centerline stationing are available in Microsoft Excel file format (LittleSugarCreekPAS_Culverts.xlsx, LittleSugarCreek_PAS_Bridges.xlsx, LittleSugarCreek_PAS_XS.xlsx). Field notes, which describe bridge/culvert details, are available in pdf format (LittleSugarCreek_PAS_Field_Sheets.pdf). Supplemental photographic data were compiled in a Microsoft PowerPoint file and .pdf as requested (LittleSugarPASpictures.pptx, LittleSugarCreek_PAS_Field_Pictures.pdf). Topographic points are also available in the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS Shapefile format (LittleSugarPASmoshp.zip & LittleSugarPASarshp.zip). All files in the shapefile group must be retrieved to be useable.

Purpose

Supplemental data were collected within the study area to assist in the description of the bathymetric and hydrologic characteristics of the features in and near the surveyed reach. These data are intended for science researchers, policy makers, and hydraulic engineers interested in assessing the bathymetry and hydrologic features of the Little Sugar, Browning, Blowing Springs, Spanker, and McKisic Creeks.
