Abstract

This report evaluates the flood situation along the Wapsinonoc Creek flood plain at West Liberty, Iowa in Muscatine County. Study limits extend from the county road bridge on the south boundary of Section 24, T78N, R4W to the Muscatine-Cedar County line and includes the West Branch, Middle Branch, and East Branch of Wapsinonoc Creek. Mileage at the county road bridge at the downstream limit of the study was taken from the U.S. Geological Survey open file report titled "Flood of June 7, 1967, in the Wapsinonoc Creek Basin, Iowa" and dated Jamary 1968. Stream mileages upstream to the Muscatine Cedar County line were measured along the low water channel from 1:4,800 scale topographic maps of the area. The report was prepared for the Iowa Natural Resources Council at the request of the West Liberty City Council. Topographic maps used in this report were furnished by the Iowa Natural Resources Council and the city of West Liberty.
