It has an average fall of about 6 inches per mile and has a tortuous channel winding in short loops back and forth across a strip of country almost a mile wide. It has a range of 16 to 50 feet between high and low water and at times overflows its banks in places. This usually occurs in the spring, when the ground is frozen and the run - ofi excessive by reason of the sudden melting of the snow at a time when the channel is obstructed by snow and ice. When the water in the river reaches the level of the land adjoining, it retards the drainage of the entire valley, particularly the area near the stream, and causes many of the tributary streams to overflow their banks. The physical features of this river, as compiled from the reports of the engineering corps of the Army and from other sources, are represented in the following table.
