“…Similar studies that provide flood-inundation maps for a range of stream stages in Georgia were 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); Alpharetta and Roswell, Ga., for Big Creek (Musser, 2015a); DeKalb County, Ga., for South Fork Peachtree Creek (Musser, 2015b); and Lowndes County, Ga., for the Withlacoochee River (Musser, 2018). The methods for the Flint River model used a finite-element, two-dimensional model, which differed from those used to develop the Yellow River model.…”

ISSN 2328-0328 (online) iii AcknowledgmentsThe author wishes to thank the City of Valdosta, Georgia, and Lowndes County, Georgia, for funding the operation and maintenance of two streamgages used for this study. Special thanks to the National Weather Service for their continued support to the U.S. Geological Survey floodinundation mapping initiative. Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).Elevation, as used in this report, refers to the distance above the vertical datum.Stage, as used in this report, is the height of water surface above an arbitrary datum established at the gage (gage datum). Abbreviations AHPS AbstractDigital flood-inundation maps for a 12.6-mile reach of the Withlacoochee River from Skipper Bridge Road to St. Augustine Road (Georgia State Route 133) were developed to depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgage at Withlacoochee River at Skipper Bridge Road, near Bemiss, Ga. (023177483). Real-time stage information from this streamgage can be used with these maps to estimate near real-time areas of inundation. The forecasted peak-stage information for the USGS streamgage at Withlacoochee River at Skipper Bridge Road, near Bemiss, Ga. (023177483), can be used in conjunction with the maps developed for this study to show predicted areas of flood inundation.A one-dimensional step-backwater model was developed using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) software for the Withlacoochee River and was used to compute flood profiles for a 12.6-mile reach of the Withlacoochee River. The hydraulic model was then used to simulate 23 water-surface profiles at 1.0-foot (ft) intervals at the Withlacoochee River near the Bemiss streamgage. The profiles ranged from the National Weather Service action stage of 10.7 ft, which is 131.0 ft above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88), to a stage of 32.7 ft, w...
