The River Point Directory is a quick-reference working document for use by engineers and planners in the general fields of river navigation and waterborne commodity movements. All navigable rivers, bayous, streams, and other such waterways in the Mississippi River-Gulf Coast region are included in this initial printing of the Directory. The rivers included in the Directory are, in general, listed in the order of their importance as commodity transportation arteries with regard to varying degrees of impact on the economic welfare of the United States. Most of the relatively minor streams and bayous are listed under the three responsible U. S . Army Corps of Engineers Districts: Mobile, New Orleans, and Galveston. The Directory is, in essence , a compilation of significant data relating to each commercial dock, town, landing, navigation lock, bridge, junction, and other such river points contained in selected portions of the U. S. Army Engineer Waterborne Commerce Statistical Center (WCSC) Port and Dock Code Manual (Parts 2 and 3), dated 1 January 1973. Six other different types of reference documents were used to compile the information on each river point. The following information, when pertinent and available, was included in the Directory for each of the 7425 river points listed: (A.) WCSC port and dock codes, (B.) descriptive title of each point, (C.) point type code (Appendix B), (D.) river code (Appendix C), (E.) location in terms of the following : (1) river mile, (2) state, (3) county or county equivalent, (4) Business Economic Area (BEA), (5) Strategic Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA), and (F.) Waterways Freight Bureau (WFB) tariff and junction indices. When available, the horizontal and vertical clearances in feet to the nearest tenth were included for each bridge. Also, a special Corps Performance Monitoring System (PMS) lock code was specified for each active lock listed in the Directory._x000D_ _x000D_ NOTE: This file is very large.
