Flood Plain Information Report, Black River, New York, Deferiet Dam to Confluence Deer River.

Abstract

This flood plain information report relates to the flood situation in the Black River Basin in Lewis and Jefferson Counties. The study area includes the Villages of Carthage and West Carthage and the Townships of Wilna Champion, Croghan, and Denmark. This report has been prepared because a knowledge of potential floods and flood hazards is important in land use planning. It includes a history of flooding along the Black River and identifies those areas that are subject to possible future floods. Special emphasis is given to these floods through maps, photographs, water surface profiles, and cross sections. (Author)
