Hi,

Many high-water marks coincide with weirs, dams or some form of natural 'rapids' (rapid may be overstating things).

On older maps, it will be indicated by “HWM”, “Highest point to which ordinary tides (“O.T.”) flow” or similar. However, those older maps may be out of date.

As best I can determine.
