Learning GOAL You will use maps and data to analyze the area, frequency, and magnitude of flooding in the floodplain of a river. You will use your analysis to identify flood hazard zones. A On the portion of the 7.5-minute topographic map of Montezuma, Georgia (Fig. A12.7.1), locate the gaging station on Flint River in the middle of the map. The center of the map is near latitude 32.30°N, longitude 84.05°W. The elevation from which the gage measures changes in river level-the gage datum is at an elevation of 255.83 feet above sea level, and the height of the river relative to this datum is called the gage height or stage. The river is considered to be at flood stage when the gage height is CAMP RD BUCK CREEK-BYP st Office 28 14 Mobile home park 300 Buck-Creek 300 Z Gaging station 49 90 Oglethorpe Sewage treatment pand 26 Mill Creek Chase Lake 0 Chase Lake Dam A12.7.1 -300- STAGEC 300 North Contour interval 10 Feet 1 km ver 5000 ft Flint-River Bethel Church 350 300 Cole Dam 49 School Montezuma 49 Felton Cemetery 49 90 Drinking water filtration plant Spring Creek 90 ERAILRO Beaver Creek 300 Montezuma Post Office:e Georgia Power Co Hospital 90 Spring Creek PondSpring Creek Pond Dam Travelers Rest Travelers Rest Cemetery 337 20 feet above the gage datum, or an elevation of 275.83 feet. A flood in July 1994 established a record gage height of 34.11 feet, or 289.94 feet above sea level. This corresponds to the 290-foot contour line on the map. Trace the 290-foot contour line on both sides of the Flint River and label the area within these contours where the land is lower than 290 feet 1994 Flood Hazard Zone.
