Comments:
This reach encompasses the area upstream of the Great Falls and hydroelectric dam in Proctor. It is an area of impounded water and therefore was not included for a full geomorphic assessment. The slope and valley width of the stream upstream of the falls indicate that the river would likely be an E type channel without the impoundment.
