	Portneuf River, Idaho
		It was authorized in accordance with House Document 531, which specifically listed the project, "Portneuf River and Marsh Creek, Idaho," as cleared for authorization without objection.
		The project provides for flood control at Pocatello, Blackrock, and Inkom (on the Portneuf River), as well as along most of the length of its main tributary, Marsh Creek.
		The three reaches of the Portneuf River, totaling about 16 miles, require channel straitening and improvement, the removal of obstructions and, in some places, levees or improvements to existing levees.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Idaho
		Idaho is one of the Pacific Slope States, lying like a roughly shaped rudder, and stretching 485 miles south from the boundary separating the United States from Canada, with its base extending east from Oregon to Wyoming.
		Idaho was admitted as the forty-fourth state of the Union on 3 July, 1890, having previously adopted its constitution in November, 1889.

		The narrow canyon of the Portneuf River through the Bannock Range between Inkom and Portneuf Narrows is the geographic key to the development of southeast Idaho and the city of Pocatello.
		This tear fault passes north of the Portneuf River at Portneuf Narrows and separates rocks of the Late Proterozoic Pocatello Formation to the north and underlying Chink's Peak, that are structurally overturned, from correlative strata on the south side of the fault that are right-side-up.
		The Portneuf River is thus the remnant of the ancestral Bear River.

	ESPN - IDAHO (July 2005): Portneuf River back to its good ol' days
		MCCAMMON, Idaho — Once the most prized blue ribbon fishery in southeast Idaho, the Portneuf River between Chesterfield Reservoir near Bancroft and Pocatello has had its ups and downs over the past decade.
		Although the river has a long way to go to get back to the days of 4 to 6-pound fish, rainbows and cutties pushing 2 to 3 pounds can still be taken in certain stretches of this fabled water.
		The Portneuf River offers good camping in the Kelly-Toponce area, which is primitive but also has a good number of beaver ponds holding small wild cutthroat and rainbows.

	Snake River Tributary Basins
		Depending on the scale or detail with which the Snake River drainage system is examined, there are at least 60 separate streams or drainages that connect to the main stem of the river or at least deliver water to the Snake River Plain (Kjelstrom, 1986; Peterson, 1988).
		A basin tributary to the Snake River represents a geographical area with a stream or other body of water, surface or underground, that contributes water to the Snake River, even in small or intermittent quantities.
		With so many streams and rivers that deliver water to the Snake River, the scale or size of a basin has to be considered in allocating resources for studies or management programs.

		A separate project (Oldtown Bicycle Lanes) is also scheduled for this year to stripe local roads with bicycle lanes to provide cyclists with a route around the canal section of the river, linking both sections of the greenway.

		The great river systems of the American west were the routes of Native American trails for hundreds of years before the advent of Europeans.

		One of the fascinating elements of the geography of southeast Idaho is the contortions of its streams and drainage basins.
