SOME PROBLEMS IN FLOOD MAPPING IN ILLINOIS
A PROJECT IN FLOOD MAPPING FOR NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS WAS STARTED IN JULY 1961. IT IS BEING CONDUCTED UNDER A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING COMMISSION. INUNDATED AREAS FOR SPECIFIC FLOODS OF RECORD, PARTICULARLY THE OUTSTANDING FLOODS OF 1954, 1957, AND 1960, ARE SHOWN AS OVERPRINTS ON STANDARD 1'24,000 TOPOGRAPHIC QUADRANGLES. IT IS EXPECTED THAT 44 SUCH MAPS WILL BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD ENDING JUNE 1966. IN ADDITION TO THE USUAL PROBLEMS, SUCH AS ESTIMATES OF COST RECRUITMENT OF AN APPROPRIATE STAFF, MANY UNUSUAL PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ENCOUNTERED. THESE INCLUDE FORM AND CONTENT OF THE BRIEF TEXT ACCOMPANYING EACH MAP, METHODS FOR MAKING COMPLETED MAPS QUICKLY AVAILABLE TO THE COOPERATOR, COLLECTION AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA, AND EVEN THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE COMPLETED REPORTS. /AUTHOR/
