Graphical representation of flood inundation for NWS flood categories are based on steady state hydraulic modeling of water surface elevations for incremented discharges. Map shows approximate inundation areas for given water surface elevations and should not be used for navigation or permitting or other legal purposes, but strictly as a planning reference tool.
Site-specific information: The area along NE Anderson Dr. between Maybrook Creek and Hidden Valley/Emerald Dr. is subject to localized flooding conditions. Localized flooding may occur at stages lower than 28 ft along this region, and this flooding may be more severe than the conditions depicted by the flood inundation map.
