THEME: Flood Prone Areas - Geauga County
THEME ID: 1821
CATEGORY: Administrative; LandUse/LandCover;
ABSTRACT: Flood Prone Areas were obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Flood Prone Quadrangle Maps. These maps outline the approximate area subject to inundation by a flood having a recurrence interval of once in 100 years. These maps were produced as a cooperative effort of the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, the USGS, and the US Dept of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (now the Natural Resources Conservation Service). This coverage was digitized from the boundaries on USGS quadrangle maps utilizing a run length encoding technique sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 ft. The measurement increment along these horizontal lines was one decafoot (10 feet). The quadrangle files were then merged into a county file which was subsequently converted to ARC/INFO format. The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the boundaries as originally drafted . Additional details on the digitizing process are available on request.

Flood Prone Quadrangle Maps, United States Geological Survey 24000 1/1/76

THEME AUTHOR: Beverly A Bonham

PURPOSE: This coverage was created as part of an Ohio Capability Analysis Program Land Capability Project with the Geauga County Commissioners. Flood Prone data is useful in general land use and environmental planning. These digitized maps should not be used for determining whether a specific structrure is in the flood plain.
