  Description:

    Abstract:

      Digital flood-inundation maps for a 6.4-mile upper reach of Indian Creek from College Boulevard to the confluence with Tomahawk Creek, a 3.9-mile reach of Tomahawk Creek from 127th Street to the confluence with Indian Creek, and a 3.7-mile lower reach of Indian Creek from the confluence with Tomahawk Creek to the Kansas/Missouri border at State Line Road in Johnson County, Kansas, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the city of Overland Park, Kansas. The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science website at*http://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood_inundation/*, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the U.S. Geological Survey streamgages on Indian Creek at Overland Park, Kansas (06893300), Indian Creek at State Line Road, Leawood, Kansas (06893390), and Tomahawk Creek near Overland Park, Kansas (06893350). Near real time stages at this streamgage may be obtained on the Web from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System at *http://waterdata.usgs.gov/* or the National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service athttp://water.weather.gov/ahps/, which also forecasts flood hydrographs at these sites.

Flood profiles were computed for the stream reaches by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated for each reach by using the most current stage-discharge relations at the Indian Creek at Overland Park, Kansas; Indian Creek at State Line Road, Leawood, Kansas; and Tomahawk Creek at Overland Park, Kansas, streamgages.

The hydraulic models were then used to determine 15 water-surface profiles for Indian Creek at Overland Park, Kansas; 17 water-surface profiles for Indian Creek at State Line Road, Leawood, Kansas; and 15 water-surface profiles for Tomahawk Creek at Overland Park, Kansas, for flood stages at 1-foot intervals referenced to the streamgage datum and ranging from bankfull to approximately the next interval above the 0.2 percent annual exceedance probability flood level. The simulated water-surface profiles were then combined in a geographic information system with a digital elevation model derived from light detection and ranging data (having a 0.429-foot vertical and 0.228-foot horizontal resolution) to delineate the area flooded at each water level.

The availability of these maps, along with Web information regarding current stage from the U.S. Geological Survey streamgage and forecasted high-flow stages from the National Weather Service, will provide emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical for flood response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well as for postflood recovery efforts.

      Attributes for water-surface elevation were input from 

      the HEC-RAS model output data table.  Flow input data for the HEC-RAS model were 

      obtained from the most current stage-discharge relation at USGS streamgages 06893300, 06893350, 06893390

        As with any engineering analysis of this type, variation from the estimated flood heights and flood-plain boundaries is 

        possible.  Details of the process used to produce these data can be found in project documentation available from the data contact person. Horizontal accuracy was 

        tested by evaluating boundaries to best available topographicdataset.
