Basic river mileage
approx. 4.2 - 4.3 miles
Google Map... use the measure tool and draw lines down the middle of river. The shorter the line segments the better accuracy.
Pre- "age of GPS" the river mileage was measured using a topo map with a string laid down the middle of the river. The string length was measured against the scale bar on the map. Really no different than using Google Map.
Sometimes you can find an old map with the mileage shown. Most of the new water trail maps have the river miles shown. River miles start at the end of a river or from the confluence with a larger river. To figure the mileage from point to point you have to do a little math.
