Water level, inundation, longitudinal profile, geomorphic change, and landform data for the Bad River (Mashkiiziibii) Estuary, WI, between 2014 and 2023

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 09:51 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 30, 2024 at 12:00 AM
Some of the richest coastal wetland and estuarine habitats are found along the Great Lakes, but the dynamic, sediment-rich contributions from episodic river flooding are poorly understood. In 2016, record flooding of the sediment-rich Bad River (Mashkiiziibii) caused total inundation of the Bad and Kakagon Sloughs feeding Lake Superior and Chequamegon Bay. Water level and river flow data, longitudinal profiles, inundation maps, landform maps, and geomorphic change maps were used to determine river-related inundation and sedimentation patterns in the estuary. Details about the individual datasets and the methods used to produce them are contained within metadata files packaged with each dataset.
