🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland river terminology used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and river pilots • How charts describe narrow but fully navigable sections of a river • Difference between a natural side channel and a main, maintained channel

💭 Think About

• Which term is most commonly used for a narrowed part of the main river that is still navigable bank to bank, not a side arm or backwater? • Which options sound more like side channels or overflow paths rather than the primary route used by commercial traffic? • On a river chart, where would towboats and deep-draft traffic normally run, and what term would the chart and Notices to Mariners use for that area?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any term that usually refers to a backwater, secondary, or dead-end channel. • Ask yourself which term is associated with a maintained navigation route (dredged, marked, or engineered) for commercial vessels. • Consider which term most likely appears in official river navigation publications (Corps of Engineers, Coast Pilot, river charts).
