Colorado River Mile Tenths at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
Mietz S. 2005. Colorado River Mile Tenths at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center
This coverage contains points representing tenth of miles in the GCMRC river mile system. The points fall along the centerline of the Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam to the headwaters of Lake Mead. The points were generated from exported nodes from the "centerline" tenth_mile route. The gcmrc river mileage was cross-checked with the traditional river guides and always fell within one mile of the guides, usually cooresponding within a half mile. River Mile 0 was measured from the USGS concrete gage at Lee's Ferry with negative river mile numbers in Glen Canyon and positive river mile numbers downstream in Marble and Grand Canyons.
