Flood Profile Graph

The flood profile graph shows flood events, stream bed, cross sections, and road crossings.

In this example, the Y axis (vertical) is Elevation (Feet NGVD) and the X axis is distance, Stream distance in feet above confluence with Lake Hightower.

Graphic of a flood profile from a Flood Insurance Study. Elevation (Feet NGVD) 526, 527, 528, 529, 530, 531, 532. Stream Distance in feet above confluence with Lake Hightower 0, 50, 100, 150. Cross Section A at 12.5 feet, Cross Section B at 25 feet, Cross Section C at 70 feet, Cross Section D at 105 feet, and Cross Section E at 140 feet. Stream bed, 10-year flood, 50-year flood, 100-year flood, and 500-year flood.
