Abstract
On June 27, 1975, parts of the city of Ames and the Iowa State University campus experienced severe flooding from Squaw Creek and the South Skunk River. Data collected at gaging stations in the area indicated that peak discharges exceeded previously recorded maxima. In terms of magnitude of discharge as well as of damages, it was probably the most severe flood since at least 1918, which is the earliest flood on record.
