Fosness, R.L., 2014, Shaded Relief of the Bathymetry near Shorty's Island and Myrtle Bend, 2010, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, ID: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9T6BLLK.

Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. The shaded relief raster data was created based on bathymetry obtained in the meander reach collected in about a one month period extending from 6/3/2010 - 6/19/2010. This subset data extends from river kilometer designator 228 upstream to 237. Similar methods used to collect and process the bathymetry are described in Fosness (2013). The shaded relief was created from a surface raster (also referred to as digital elevation model) of the bathymetry [...]

Purpose

The shaded relief raster data can be used to assist in describing the benthic habitat characteristics near current white sturgeon spawning grounds. The data may provide unrealized areas of species preferred habitat.
