*Taken in part from US Army Corps of Engineers White River Profiles, Des Arc to Bull Shoals Dam, Sept 1979; and White River Navigation Charts, Mouth to Batesville, Arkansas. River miles above Des Arc are mid-bank distances as of 1978, below that are based upon earlier surveys. Metric conversions based upon 1 meter = 3.2833 feet. Elevation estimate based upon river surface at 20,000 cfs discharge line.
Bank designation of sample site is annotated as LB for Left Descending Bank and RB for Right Descending Bank.
Bull Shoals Lake surface elevation corresponds to a lake stage of 650 feet above mean sea level.
Site Location * indicates site photographs are available on-line
LB = Left Descending Bank of the White River
RB = Right Descending Bank of the White River
