D. RURAL. The river corridor remains largely natural, but with moderate 

 evidence of the sights and sounds of civilization. Evidence of other 

 recreation users is abundant. Roads, powerllnes, and other manmade 

 features, as well as nonrecreational resource uses, may be present 

 along part or most of the segment. Recreational development, if 

 present, is designed for larger numbers of users. 



E. URBAN. The river corridor is substantially modified, with the natural 

 landscape subordinate to other resource uses. The segment may be 

 closely paralleled for nearly its entire length by highways, 

 transmission lines, or buildings and settlements. Opportunities for 

 solitude are likely very few or nonexistent. 



13. Judgement should be made on the general scenic quality along the segment. 

 Scenic quality can vary from spot to spot along the segment; the rating 

 should be based on the overall impression a recreational user would likely 

 retain after visiting the segment. Use the following definitions: 



- Outstanding Scenic Quality. For these segments, landforms, vegetation 

 patterns, and water features combine to create unique, highly 

 memorable, and harmonious visual settings. Views along the river and 

 away from the river to surrounding scenery are highly diverse, 

 providing river users with scenery that is spectacular and/or not 

 common on other rivers in the region. If buildings, roads, and other 

 cultural modifications are present, they either add favorably to or do 

 not intrude on visual quality for river users. 



Substantial Scenic Quality. For these segments, landforms, vegetation 

 patterns, and water features combine to create a highly memorable and 

 visually pleasing setting, although one that may be more common to the 

 region. Views along and away from the river are highly diverse and 

 cultural modifications, if present, either add to or do not detract 

 from the visual setting. 



- Moderate Scenic Quality. For these segments, landforms, vegetation 

 patterns, and water features along the river combine to create 

 harmonious but common visual settings. Views along and away from the 

 river are somewhat varied, but lack a high degree of contrast and 

 diversity. Encroachment of cultural modifications may be evident, and 

 either adds little to or detracts from visual quality. 



- Limited or Low Scenic Quality. For these segments, landforms, 

 vegetation patterns, and water features combine to create visual 

 settings lacking in variety and contrast. Views along and away from 

 the river are monotonous and common. Cultural modifications may 

 dominate and detract from visual quality. 



14. The current sportfishery value for the segment will be completed by project 

 staff based on the Montana Stream Rating System. 



15. List any developed recreation sites, either public or significant private 

 areas, located along the segment.
