Twenty-nine inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science Web site at http://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood_inundation/, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (gage heights) at the USGS streamgage, St. John River below Fish River at Fort Kent, Maine (station 01014000) and the USGS streamgage, Fish River near Fort Kent, Maine (station 01013500). Current or forecasted peak-gage height information from these USGS gages is available on the Internet from the USGS (at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/me/nwis/current/?type=flow ) and the National Weather Service (at http://water.weather.gov/ahps/forecasts.php ) respectively and may be used in conjunction with the flood inundation maps to show current or forecast areas of flood inundation Purpose: The purpose of this study is to create a flood-inundation map library for the St. John and Fish Rivers in Fort Kent, Maine, and to make these maps easy available to emergency workers and the public. This series of 29 maps were created to correspond with a range of different forecast flooding elevations on the two rivers.

The U.S. Geological Survey shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. This data base, identified as SIM 3157, has been approved for release and publication by the Director of the USGS. Although this database has been subjected to rigorous review and is substantially complete, the USGS reserves the right to revise the data pursuant to further analysis and review. Furthermore, it is released on condition that neither the USGS nor the United States Government may be held liable for any damages resulting from its authorized or unauthorized use. The flood boundaries shown were estimated based on water stages/flows at USGS streamgages 0101400 and 01013500, St. John and Fish Rivers, Maine. Water-surface elevations along the St. John River from 1,000 feet (ft) upstream from the International Bridge in Fort Kent, Maine, to 5,000 ft downstream from the International Bridge; and for a 2-mile reach of the Fish River extending from just upstream from Mills Road to its confluence with the St. John River in Fort Kent were estimated by steady-state hydraulic modeling, assuming unobstructed flow, and discharges and hydrologic conditions anticipated at these gaging stations. The hydraulic model reflects the land-cover characteristics and any bridge, dam, levee, or other hydraulic structures existing in August, 2010. Unique meteorological factors (timing and distribution of storm) may cause actual discharges along the modeled reach to vary from assumed during a flood and lead to deviations in the water surface elevations and inundation boundaries shown here. Additional areas may be flooded due to unanticipated backwater from major tributaries along the main stem or from localized debris- or ice-jams. The flood inundation boundaries depicted on this map are based on a digital elevation model (Meta data available). Inundated areas shown should not be used for navigation, regulatory, permitting, or other legal purposes. Although USGS intends to make this server available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, timely delivery of data and products from this server through the Internet is not guaranteed. The USGS provides these maps as a quick reference, emergency planning tool but assumes no legal liability or responsibility for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages or lost profit resulting from the use or misuse of this information. If this series of flood inundation maps will be used in conjunction with National Weather Service (NWS) river forecasts, the user should be aware of additional uncertainties which may be inherent or factored into NWS forecast procedures. The NWS uses river forecast models to estimate the quantity and timing of water flowing through selected river reaches in the United States. These forecast models (1) estimate the amount of runoff generated by a precipitation event, (2) compute how the water will move downstream, and (3) predict the flow and stage (water-surface elevation) for the river at a given location (AHPS forecast point) throughout the forecast period (every six hours over 3 to 5 days).
