Description: A natural chute in the Niobrara River near Cody, NE. constricts the flow of the river except at high stages to a narrow channel in which the turbulence is sufficient to suspend nearly the total sediment discharge. The general study of fluvial sediments of the Niobrara River basin is part of the program of the Department of the Interior for the development of the Missouri River basin. This study was started by the Geological Survey at the request of the Bureau of Reclamation. , out of print, unbound copy available Ê
