"From its source in central Wyoming to its union with the YellowstoneRiver,
the *Powder River* is 250 *miles* long, "A *mile wide and an inch deep*;
too thick to drink and too thin to plow."

Used to live there, it's only slightly hyperbole. There are estuarine
situations where deltas occur that are dominated by cobbles and gravels
because of very low sediment loads.
