Figure 3.  The diverse character of the 
streambed in the Miller Creek watershed, Montana:  A.  Upper study reach (site 190) where 
the channel is composed of gravel and cobbles.  B.  Near mid-basin (site 7,120) where 
the channel is composed mostly of large cobbles and scattered boulders.  C.  Near the 
downstream end of the lower study reach (site 14,505) where a small waterfall exists 
on exposed  bedrock.  D.  At the downstream end of the study reach (site 14,930) where 
the channel is composed of cobbles, boulders, and woody debris.  Photographs A and D by 
D.A. Nimick; photographs B and C by J.H. Lambing, U.S. Geological Survey.
