Summary

These data are the survey results from a five-mile section of the Platte River at, and upstream of the Nebraska Army National Guard Camp Ashland Training Site including the side channel chutes on the east bank. All survey data were collected along planned transect lines that were spaced 492.125 US survey feet apart beginning near the mouth of the Elkhorn River and ending near the U.S. Highway 6 bridge. An effort was made to get complete elevation data for each transect from top of bank to top of bank. Survey grade Global Navigation and Satellite Systems (GNSS) receiving antennas connected to a real time network (RTK high precision network https://hprtk.net) were used to measure elevation along the transects, at the top of banks, along [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this survey and resulting data are to support the development of hydromorphologic flow-models that will allow the Nebraska Army National Guard resource managers and other agencies to better understand the flow dynamics and sediment transport of the Platte River so they can make informed decisions on how to reduce flood risks to infrastructure and maintain and restore aquatic habitat provided by the chutes.
