Braid bar

Braid bars, or mid-channel bars, are river bars typically present in braided river channels.  These formations have many names, including medial, longitudinal, crescentic, and transverse bars, as well as the more colloquial sandflat.  Braid bars are distinguished from point bars due to their presence in the middle of a flow channel, rather than along a bank of the river channel.
