ADDITION TO USGS FLOOD REPORT

Downloadable Maps for GIS

In October 2008, the USGS, in Cooperation with FEMA and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Water, released Open File Report 2008-1322, Flood of June 7–9, 2008, in Central and Southern Indiana. The flood inundation maps published in Appendix 2 of the report are now available as downloadable GIS files. The files contain flood-peak water surface elevation data and water depth data and related metadata. These raster data layers are in ERDAS IMAGINE format with an img file extension. The layers can be exported to different types of raster data using appropriate GIS software packages.

The files are available at: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2008/1322/
