47-06-09. Islands and relicted land in non-navigable streams

An island or accumulation of land formed in a stream which is not navigable belongs to the

owner of the shore on that side where the island or accumulation is formed, or if not formed on

one side only, to the owners of the shore on the two sides, divided by an imaginary line drawn

through the middle of the river.
