  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Flood damage resulting from development in flood plains in East Baton &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Rouge Parish, La., and adjacent areas has caused economic losses, making &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;governmental officials and planners aware of the need for flood maps. Based &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;on information in private and official files, flood maps have been prepared &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;for 7 1/2-minute topographic quadrangles to show the interpretative &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;delineation of the highest flood elevation that occurred between the years &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;1953 and 1974. The flood boundaries were mapped on the following quadrangles: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Port Hudson, Zachary, Fred, Pride, Pine Grove, Walls, Scotlandville, Comite, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Watson, Baton Rouge West, Baton Rouge East, Denham Springs, Plaquemine, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;St. Gabriel, and Prairieville.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
