Eash and Barbara A. Koppensteiner ABSTRACT used by planners and engineers to evaluate the magni­ tude and frequency of floods in a river basin. Water-surface-elevation profiles and peak discharges for the floods of July 12, 1972, March Purpose and Scope 19, 1979, and June 15, 1991, in the Turkey River Basin, northeast Iowa, are presented in this report. The profiles illustrate the 1979 and 1991 floods This report presents water-surface-elevation pro­ files for the floods of July 12, 1972, March 19, 1979, along the Turkey River in Fayette and Clayton and June 15,1991, in the Turkey River Basin in north­ Counties and along the Volga River in Clayton east Iowa. Profiles for the flood of March 19,1979, use County; the 1991 flood along Roberts Creek in flood elevations collected by the Iowa Natural Clayton County and along Otter Creek in Fayette Resources Council (1980, p. 12) and are presented in County; and the 1972 flood along the Turkey River this report for comparative purposes. The report pro­ in Winneshiek and Fayette Counties. Water- vides information on flood stages and discharges, and surface elevations for the flood of March 19,1979, floodflow frequencies for streamflow-gaging stations were collected by the Iowa Natural Resources in the Turkey River Basin using flood information col­ Council. The June 15, 1991, flood on the Turkey lected during 1902-95. Information on temporary River at Garber (station number 05412500) is the bench marks and reference points established in the largest known flood-peak discharge at the Turkey River Basin during 1981, 1992, and 1996 also streamflow-gaging station for the period 1902-95. is included in the report. A flood history briefly The peak discharge for June 15, 1991, of 49,900 describes rainfall conditions for floods that occurred cubic feet per second was 1.4 times larger than the during 1922,1947,1972,1979, and 1991.

    2/19/2020 Driftless Area - Wikipedia Visited 02/19/2020 Driftless Area The Driftless Area is a region in southwestern Wisconsin, southeastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa, and the extreme northwestern corner of Illinois, of the American Midwest. The region escaped the flattening effects of glaciation during the last ice age and is consequently characterized by steep, forested ridges, deeply carved river valleys, and karst geology characterized by spring-fed waterfalls and cold-water trout streams. Ecologically, the Driftless Area's flora and fauna are more closely related to those of the Great Lakes region and New England than those of the broader Midwest and central Plains regions. Colloquially, the term includes the incised Paleozoic Plateau of southeastern Minnesota and northeastern Relief map showing primarily the [1] Iowa.
