Figure 8. Plots of ferry and cableway cross section used by the U.S. Geological Survey prior to 1930, shown without vertical exaggeration (A) and
with approximately 6x exaggeration (B). The thick solid line is the cross section surveyed in spring 1997, the thin line is from May 1928, and the dot-
ted line is from June 1912, as detennined from discharge measurement data. Note that very little change occurred in width between 1912 and 1928.
