Research notes

State designations cover segments of the Kettle, Mississippi (north of St. Cloud), Minnesota, Rum, Cannon, North Fork Crow, and St. Croix (partial) rivers. Coordinated with the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. § 1271 et seq.) on overlapping segments (notably St. Croix, Mississippi headwaters, Minnesota). Federal conflict check enabled for federal designation overlap.
