The river flows through the Little Missouri National Grasslands and Theodore Roosevelt National Park and is the only river that the State has designated as a scenic river.
Because the river channels of the basin are in the easily eroded shale and sandstone of the badlands, large quantities of sediment are transported downstream.

 EPA: Federal Register: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Final Rule To List the Topeka Shiner as Endangered
The last record of the Topeka shiner from the Arkansas River basin, excluding the Cottonwood River watershed, was in 1891 near Wichita, Kansas (Cross and Moss 1987).
Cross (1970) indicates that some of the areas where depletion of the species has occurred also coincide with areas having poor aquifers resulting from historical changes in drainage patterns affecting the quantity of water.
Listing of the Topeka shiner would require a review of potential section 404 actions which may impact the species, which is not a requirement as long as the species remains unlisted and unprotected by Federal law.
