Flood-inundation maps for South Fork Peachtree Creek from the Brockett Road bridge to the Willivee Drive bridge, DeKalb County, Georgia

“…Similar studies that provide flood-inundation maps for a range of stream stages have been completed by the USGS in Albany, Ga., for the Flint River (Musser and Dyar, 2007); Atlanta, Ga., for Peachtree Creek (Musser, 2012a); Gwinnett County, Ga., for Suwanee Creek (Musser, 2012b); Cobb County, Ga., for Sweetwater Creek (Musser, 2012c); and Alpharetta and Roswell, Ga., for Big Creek (Musser, 2015). The methods for the Flint River model used a finite-element, two-dimensional model, which differed from those used to develop the South Fork Peachtree Creek model.…”
