At Cordell Hull, its just short of a mile, and at Wolf Creek, its 1.8 miles. There is no explanation (that I have found) for those measurements to be included in public information. It leads me to wonder if there’s a notion to control river access beyond the planned barricades.

I noticed those too and took it as them saying" This is what we
could rope off if need by but we'll only rope this amount instead" without having to really come out and say it.
