O'Connor, Jim E. Keith, Mackenzie K. Mangano, Joseph F. Wallick, J. Rose 2012 U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2011-1280 Reston, Virginia U.S. Geological Survey 96 p. http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2011/1280/ The Rogue River drains 13,390 square kilometers of southwestern Oregon before flowing into the Pacific Ocean near the town of Gold Beach, Oregon. The Rogue River begins in the Cascade Range and traverses the Klamath Mountains, where it gains its largest tributaries, the Applegate (1,994 square kilometers) and Illinois (2,564 square kilometers) Rivers, on its way to the coast. In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey completed a reconnaissance-level assessment of channel condition and bed-material transport relevant to the permitting of in-stream gravel extraction in the lower 178.6 kilometers of the Rogue River, 56.7 kilometers of the Applegate River, and 6.5 kilometers of the Illinois River. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions in the Rogue River basin from different time periods. GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar features and channel centerline of the Rogue, Applegate, and Illinois Rivers were developed for three time periods: 1967-69, 2005, and 2009. For this project, the active channel was defined as area typically inundated during annual high flows, and includes the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-flanking gravel bars. The wetted channel and bar features datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 1967-69 were scanned, rectified, and mosaicked for this project (See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the rectification process and resolution of each dataset). Digital orthophotographs from 2005 and 2009 are publicly available. These data were created to support preliminary assessment of channel stability and bed-material transport on Rogue, Applegate, and Illinois Rivers, southwest Oregon. This mapping was used to track changes in channel morphology and planform over time. 2005 ground condition Complete None planned -124.432664 -123.094074 42.682041 42.223129 ISO 19115 Topic Categories inlandWaters None sediment transport fluvial geomorphology historical channel change channel stability Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) Klamath Mountains Applegate River Jackson County Oregon Coast Range Curry County Illinois River Rogue River Josephine County None The U.S. Geological Survey should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data.

The channel centerline was reviewed and manually edited by team members to ensure that linework did not intersect bar features. Data are complete. Channel centerline mapping was reviewed by a minimum of three other team members to ensure protocol was followed and that mapping was consistent between time periods. Digitizing was done at a scale of 1:3,000 at seven fluvial repeat photo sites on the mainstem Rogue, Applegate, and Illinois Rivers. At the tidal repeat photo site digitizing was completed at a scale of 1:10,000. All bar and wetted channel features greater than 300 square meters were digitized. Because polygons were split for assignment to study reaches, some may represent areas less than 300 square meters. Centerlines were digitized along the center of the wetted channel. Best judgment was used to delineate feature boundaries where obscured by vegetation or shadows. The 1967-69 aerial photographs were georectified with a minimum of 5 to 14 ground-control points concentrated near the main channel and a first- or second-order polynomial transformation. The total root mean square error values for each of the rectified photographs from 1967-69 indicated that horizontal position uncertainties associated with the georectification process ranged from 1.08 to 5.90 meters, but averaged 3.50 meters for the 1967 photographs and 3.24 meters for the 1969 photographs. Because control points were concentrated near the channel, error associated with mapped features along channel corridor is probably lower than the total root mean square error for the entire photograph. Digitizing was done at a scale of 1:3,000 at seven fluvial repeat photo sites on the mainstem Rogue, Applegate, and Illinois Rivers. Within the tidal repeat photo site, digitizing was completed at a scale of 1:10,000. Wallick, J. Rose Jim E.

Channel centerlines were digitized along the center of the wetted channel through the study area using a polyline feature class. 2011 Delineation of bars, channel centerlines, and wetted-channel edges was verified by project team members to ensure consistent delineation of features among years and throughout the study area and consistency with the delineation protocol of Wallick and others (2011). 2011 The polylines were intersected with a polygon feature class of the study reaches to limit mapping extent and assign reach names using the "Intersect" tool in ArcToolbox. 2011 Vector String 8 Transverse Mercator 0.9996 -123.0 0.0 500000.0 0.0 coordinate pair 0.0001 0.0001 Meter D North American 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 ofr2011_1280_Rogue_River_Centerline_2005 Rogue, Applegate, and Illinois River channel centerline U.S. Geological Survey OBJECTID Internal feature number ESRI Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated SHAPE Feature geometry ESRI Coordinates defining the features River Mainstem channel that contains the feature object U.S. Geological Survey Rogue Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 178.5 and 0.0 U.S. Geological Survey Applegate Mainstem Applegate River between river kilometer 56.6 and 0.0 U.S. Geological Survey Illinois Mainstem Illinois River between river kilometer 6.5 and 0.0 U.S. Geological Survey Reach_ID Study reach that contains the feature object U.S. Geological Survey Grants Pass Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 178.5 and 152.8 U.S. Geological Survey Merlin Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 152.8 and 132.7 U.S. Geological Survey Galice Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 132.7 and 43.9 U.S. Geological Survey Lobster Creek Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 43.9 and 6.7 U.S. Geological Survey Tidal Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 6.7 and 0.0 U.S. Geological Survey Upper Applegate Mainstem Applegate River between river kilometer 56.6 and 41.6 U.S. Geological Survey Lower Applegate Mainstem Applegate River between river kilometer 41.6 and 0.0 U.S. Geological Survey Illinois Mainstem Illinois River between river kilometer 6.5 and 0.0 U.S. Geological Survey Photo_site Repeat photo site that contains the feature object U.S. Geological Survey Riverside Park Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 172.5 and 160.5 U.S. Geological Survey Matson Park Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 149.5 and 138.4 U.S. Geological Survey Foster Bar Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 66.5 and 53.9 U.S. Geological Survey Jennings Riffle Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 26.5 and 15.2 U.S. Geological Survey Elephant Rock Mainstem Rogue River between river kilometer 6.7 and 0.0 U.S. Geological Survey Williams Creek Mainstem Applegate River between river kilometer 49.5 and 41.6 U.S. Geological Survey Thompson Creek Mainstem Applegate River between river kilometer 41.6 and 28.5 U.S. Geological Survey Oak Flat Mainstem Illinois River between river kilometer 6.5 and 0.0 U.S. Geological Survey SHAPE_Length Length of feature in meters ESRI Positive real numbers that are automatically generated U.S. Geological Survey Ask USGS -- Water Webserver Team mailing
