Published by theNational Oceanic and Atmospheric AdministrationNational Ocean ServiceOffice of Coast Surveywww.NauticalCharts.NOAA.gov888-990-NOAAWhat are Nautical Charts?Nautical charts are a fundamental tool of marine navigation. They showwater depths, obstructions, buoys, other aids to navigation, and muchmore. The information is shown in a way that promotes safe andefficient navigation. Chart carriage is mandatory on the commercialships that carry America’s commerce. They are also used on every Navyand Coast Guard ship, fishing and passenger vessels, and are widelycarried by recreational boaters.What is a BookletChart ?This BookletChart is made to help recreational boaters locatethemselves on the water. It has been reduced in scale for convenience,but otherwise contains all the information of the full-scale nauticalchart. The bar scales have also been reduced, and are accurate whenused to measure distances in this BookletChart. See the Note at thebottom of page 5 for the reduction in scale applied to this chart.Whenever possible, use the official, full scale NOAA nautical chart fornavigation. Nautical chart sales agents are listed on the Internet athttp://www.NauticalCharts.NOAA.gov.This BookletChart does NOT fulfill chart carriage requirements forregulated commercial vessels under Titles 33 and 44 of the Code ofFederal Regulations.Notice to Mariners Correction StatusThis BookletChart has been updated for chart corrections published inthe U.S. Coast Guard Local Notice to Mariners, the National GeospatialIntelligence Agency Weekly Notice to Mariners, and, where applicable,the Canadian Coast Guard Notice to Mariners.

In 2007, the reportedapproach depth was 10 feet with 8 feet alongside.At Mile 1035.8, Woolbright Road highway bridge with a bascule spanand clearance of 25 feet crosses the waterway. The bridgetendermonitors VHF-FM channel 16 and works channel 13.The Eighth Street highway bridge over the waterway at Mile 1038.7 hasa bascule span with a clearance of 9 feet at the center. (See 117.1through 117.59 and 117.261, chapter 2, for drawbridge regulations.)The bridgetender monitors VHF-FM channel 16 and works channel 13.A boatyard is on the north shore of Little River, about 0.6 mile above themouth. The yard has a 20-ton marine lift, and a marine railway that canhandle craft up to 50 feet. Gasoline, water, ice, electricity, and marinesupplies are available.
