SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May

Principal Meridian, Montana,
T. 26 N., R. 59 E.,
Sec. 5, portion of the SW1⁄4SE1⁄4; and
Sec. 8, portion of the N1⁄2NE1⁄4.
Dr. Ray Breuninger, PhD, geologist,
performed on-site research, literature
review, and aerial photography review
of islands, sand bars, and adjacent
floodplains to produce a geologic
analysis of the origin of land along the
Missouri River in Richland County,
northwest of Sidney, Montana. The data
sources include the Missouri River
Commission Survey of 1891, the 1901
meander map and field notes, a 1947
resurvey, and the 1958 resurvey, field
notes, and related correspondence. He
also analyzed aerial photos for 11
separate years between 1937 and 1997.
Based upon Dr. Breuninger’s
investigation, a review of the records
and reports in the BLM Cadastral
Survey office, and the investigation of
Cadastral Survey Riparian Specialist,
Mr. Frank Hardt, the State of Montana
has proven its case by a preponderance
of evidence. The BLM survey conducted
in 1958 erred in surveying all of the
lands in question as normal accretions
to the Federal uplands. The lands
