Geomorphic features mapped from historical aerial photographs (1935, 1950s, 1970s, and 1996), satellite imagery (November 2006), and digital aerial imagery (Standard Imagery LiDAR Composite; Spectrum Mapping, LLC, 2005) are provided in shapefiles for each year of data. Features mapped are tops of the arroyo walls, edges of the arroyo bottom (covering the active floodplain and channel), tops of channel banks, the channel centerline, canopy cover, and 2006 flood sand deposits. In addition, shapefiles containing a reference arroyo centerline, points at 0.5-km intervals along the arroyo centerline, and polygons identifying the 0.5-km arroyo segments are provided. Individual metadata files describe the contents of each shapefile. Mapped reach extents vary. Results of analyses using these data were published in the following articles: Griffin, E.R., Kean, J.W., Vincent, K.R., Smith, J.D., and Friedman, J.M., 2005, Modeling effects of bank friction and woody bank vegetation on channel flow and boundary shear stress in the Rio Puerco, New Mexico, Journal of Geophysical Research, 110, F04023. doi: 10.1029/2005JF000322 Vincent, K.R., Friedman, J.M., and Griffin, E.R., 2009, Erosional consequence of saltcedar control, Environmental Management, 44, 218-227. doi: 10.1007/s00267-009-9314-8 Griffin, E.R., Smith, J.D., Friedman, J.M., and Vincent, K.R., 2010, Progression of streambank erosion during a large flood, Rio Puerco arroyo, New Mexico, Proceedings of the 2nd Joint Federal Interagency Conference, Las Vegas, NV, June 27 – July 1, 2010, 12 p.
