  • Floodway Boundary Lines
  • Cross Section Symbols
  • Floodway Area Designation

The floodway is the channel of a river or other watercourse, plus any adjacent floodplain areas that are reserved, so that the 1-percent annual chance flood discharge can be conveyed without increasing the elevation of the 1-percent annual chance flood more than a designated height.
