This topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) mosaic represents the topography and bathymetry for the Milwaukee River Estuary in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and adjacent terrestrial and Lake Michigan nearshore coastal areas. The TBDEM was produced in support of modeling and for developing a physical habitat framework to help with understanding the effects from multidirectional currents and seiche effects associated with the mixing of river flows with Lake Michigan backwater. The TBDEM mosaic is built off existing terrestrial, nearshore, and estuary frameworks developed for other areas around the Great Lakes and the Milwaukee River Harbor. Ranging from 2008-2015, land elevations derived from lidar and historic topographic...

This USGS data release presents historic shorelines of Lake Superior near Odanah, Wisconsin encompassing the delta complex of the Bad River from 1852 to 2013 compiled in a Geographic Information System. The coverage of the shorelines starts approximately 8 km northeast of Ashland and extends for about 40 km to approximately 3 km east of the Bad River mouth. The shorelines were derived from land survey maps, topographic maps (USGS), and aerial photographs. The data set includes 10 shorelines for the years 1852, 1934, 1939, 1953, 1963, 1979, 1986, 1992, 1999, and 2013. Detail in the initial years of the shorelines (1852, 1934) may appear to be coarser having been hand drawn. Following 1939, all the shorelines were...

The Maumee River network contributes a significant amount of total phosphorus (P), including both sediment-bound P (sed-P) and dissolved reactive P (DRP, also known as orthophosphate). Most headwater streams of the Maumee River are predominantly agricultural in land use, interspersed with rural communities. Implementation of best management practices on agricultural operations has worked to limit the amount of material that is carried to the stream from cropland. However, several studies have shown streambank erosion to be another source of suspended sediment in these streams. The objective of this work was to map streambank erosion and soft, streambed sediment abundance along stream reaches in a basin that is currently...

In 2004, 2007, 2010, and 2013, the U.S. Geological Survey sampled benthic algae and invertebrates, and fish to assess the condition of the aquatic communities and water quality in 14 wadable streams near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Additional community sampling was also done at a subset of three sites in 2011 and 2012 to assess temporal variation. Selected environmental (physical and chemical) data in the streams were collected to evaluate potential relations to the biota and the ecological health of the streams. Physical and chemical data included land-use/land cover; streamflow from USGS gages (except at two creeks that were not gaged); stream habitat; microhabitat at invertebrate collection points (depth, velocity,...

The Kalamazoo River Area of Concern (AOC) has multiple dam removals in various stages of completion. Following dam removal, river restoration activities will occur in impacted reaches. Hydrogeomorphic data from relatively undisturbed and hydraulically stable river reaches are commonly used to inform the design parameters of river restoration projects. Reference reaches should have similar prevailing boundary conditions as target restoration reaches, including water and sediment regime, valley and channel slope, valley confinement, bank heights, and riparian vegetation. This dataset characterizes the geomorphology of one reference reach, an approximately 500m reach upstream of Plainwell, MI. The reach has a drainage...

An extreme flood in 2016 caused widespread culvert blockages and road failures across northern Wisconsin, including extensive damage along steep tributaries and ravines in the Marengo River watershed. Along with the flooding, there were fluvial erosion hazards (FEH) associated with a large amount of erosion in headwater areas. Of special concern were FEHs associated with gullying, loss of wetland storage, and valley-side mass wasting. In 2020, a pilot study was begun to map and classify ephemeral and perennial streams and wetlands in terms of their susceptibility to fluvial erosion hazards. This study combines rapid geomorphic field assessments of river corridor erosion and coupled sediment and debris delivery with...

This dataset contains measurements of water chemistry taken from experimental incubation of sediment cores collected from the Fox and Duck rivermouths during the 2016 growing season. In addition, some characteristics of the sediment were recorded. This data can be used to generate estimates of nutrient change over time, due to flux of nutrients from the sediments. These flux estimates (or release rates) can be used to estimate total flux from sediments to the surface waters over the course of the 2016 growing season. This dataset is a subset of a larger effort to quantitatively estimate the effect of rivermouths on nutrient loading to Lake Michigan.

From September 2019 to October 2020 a stream sediment budget and sediment fingerprinting integrated study was conducted to quantify upland and stream corridor sources of suspended sediment and sediment-bound phosphorus using the Sediment Source Assessment Tool (SedSAT) methods with a suite of trace elements. Upland source samples were collected at 45 randomly selected sites in the watershed. Passive suspended-sediment samplers were installed at three sites and sampled monthly. Soft, fine-grained streambed sediment was collected if present at 18 rapid geomorphic assessment (RGA) sites. An inventory of bank erosion and soft-sediment deposition was also done at each of the 18 RGA sites, which were selected to represent...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Natural Resources Department of the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa Tribe, conducted a study of the extent of flooding near the community of Odanah, Wisconsin, caused by the July 11, 2016 storm event in northern Wisconsin and the Bad River Reservation. Immediately after the flooding, the USGS and the Bad River Natural Resources Department documented 108 high-water marks (HWM) in the Odanah area. The HWMs were used to create flood-inundation maps to support the response and recovery operations. Three sets of flood-inundation polygon boundaries, flood-inundation extents, flood depths, and high-water marks were compiled for the Bad River, Beartrap...

In August, 2022, pebble counts were conducted in a reference reach of the Kalamazoo River upstream of Plainwell, Michigan (MI) to characterize the substrate size within the reach. These data were collected to accompany elevation data collected for the reference reach in October, 2021. A reach composite pebble count was conducted, consisting of 101 samples collected along 34 transects spanning the entire 500 m reach. Sample locations spanned multiple geomorphic unit types, including riffles, pools, and run/glides. Additionally, a separate 100-sample pebble count was conducted in a riffle near the head of the reference reach. The riffle data were collected in the same location as a 2010 survey and pebble count, allowing...

This dataset is a polygon shapefile of woody debris in an approximately 500 meter (m) reach of the Kalamazoo River upstream of Plainwell, Michigan (MI). The woody debris was identified using terrestrial lidar data collected in October 2021. The lidar point cloud was classified as ground, water, and vegetation returns by a combination of automated and manual methods. Woody debris points in the channel were manually classified with the aid of imagery that was collected concurrently with the lidar data. These points were used to generate polygons defining the outline of woody debris in the channel. Because lidar does not penetrate the water surface, fully submerged debris could not be detected and only vegetation extending...

This dataset contains the 10 most common geomorphon forms for an approximately 500 meter (m) reach of the Kalamazoo River upstream of Plainwell, Michigan (MI), in raster and polygon format. Geomorphons are a terrain analysis approach that identify 3-dimensional forms in a landscape based on comparison of the relative elevations of a central pixel to the pixels in its surrounding viewshed. The approach breaks down a landscape into it's component forms (flat, summit, ridge, shoulder, spur, slope, hollow, footslope, valley, and depression), which can serve as a basis for interpreting distinct hydrogeomorphic units and processes associated with them (Jasiewicz and Stepinski, 2013). Polygon features were developed from...
