** Buoy positions represented on these charts are approximate.
Positioning of buoys are subject to change depending on river
stages and channel obstructions. Buoy positions on these charts
are from Summer 2010.
*** Area in river that generally meets project depth dimensions (i.e.
9-foot or greater) under prevailing river conditions. This area is
subject to change as a result of scour or deposition of sediment.
The area shown in these charts represents conditions as of
the latest survey at the time of publishing.
**** Rock dikes, or wing dams, can be partially or completely
submerged, depending on water levels and should be avoided.
Wing dams that are low enough relative to water surface
elevations to allow safe navigation over them in all conditions are
considered non-hazards.

How to Calulate Bridge Clearances
All bridge spans crossing the navigation channel have corresponding profile
drawings, like the example below, shown on supplemental sheets. Each profile
drawing lists the following key peices of information:
(A) Channel or Navigation Span
(B) Name
Vertical clearance values at "pool stage" are the maximum possible clearance
at the location where low steel could impact a vessel in the designated channel
or navigation span. The location of low steel within the navigation span varies
from bridge to bridge, and actual clearances will be lower than the "vertical
clearance at pool stage".
To estimate actual verticle clearance based on a reporting gage value:
(C) River Mile
(D) Elevation of Bridge for Clearance
(Pool Stage Clearance) - ( (Gage reading) - (Flat Pool Stage) )
(F)
(G)
(E) Elevation of Reference Water Surface (Pooled Reaches)
(F) Vertical and Horizontal Clearances
For the example bridge profile below, if the stage at L&D 13 Tail was 11.3 ft,
then the actual vertical clearance would be:
(G) Reference Gage for Actual Vertical Clearance
65' - ( 11.3' - 3.3' ) = 57'

Notes on Chart Production and Use
-Maps were prepared from the latest IENC data by Corps of Engineers offices.
-Geodetic positions refer to North American Datum 1983.
-Shorelines and depth areas are from the most recent aerial photography and
survey data available at the time of production.
-Charts are oriented to show the river channel from upstream to downstream,
from the top of the page to the bottom.
-River miles start at zero at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
near Cairo, IL, and they increase going upstream.

Used to indicate an obstruction to navigation,
extends from the nearest shore to the buoy. This
means "do not pass between the buoy and the
nearest shore." This aid is replacing the red and
white striped buoy within the USWMS, but cannot
be used until all red and white striped buoys on a
waterway have been replaced.
