My understanding of US law (from a consultant geologist who did this stuff
for a living) is that if a river gradually moves, borders (including both
properties and administrative areas) move with it. But if there's a
catastrophic change - e.g. a heavy storm causes the river to burst a bank
and take a new route - then the border does *NOT* move.
For a European example, look at the border dispute between Croatia (who
claim the cadastral boundary) and Serbia (who claim the thalweg boundary).
