Show To be of value to the 358 navigator , a survey would necessarily ( have liave ) to be of ( an ail ) entirely different type than those maps . There is nothing in these maps to show where the channel is other than what may be anticipated as a result of noting the curvature of the stream . ( Even Liven ) if he had a chart like the Coast Survey chart , showing where the channel was in the ( pre- pre ) vious September , that ( wouldn't wouldnt Aouldn't Aouldnt ) have been of any assistance ; practically none , because each freshet establishes bars in substantially the same general location , but the form of the bar established by one freshet is very different from that from ( an- an ) other . Also , as the river falls , reaches a ( cut-out cutout ) stage , it cuts out in one manner one year , and a ( dif- dif ) ferent manner the ( next-or nextor ) after each freshet .
