Neely BL. 1985. The Flood of December 1982 and the 100- and 500-year flood on the Buffalo River, Arkansas. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Resources Investigations Report. 85-4192. USGS. Little Rock, AR
Flood profiles, peak, discharges, and stages for the December 1982, the lOO-year, and the 500-year floods at 17 sites along the Buffalo River were determined. These sites are (1) near the mouth, (2) Rush, (3) Buffalo Point, (4) Highway 14, (5) Maumee, (6) Gilbert, (7) St. Joe, (8) Woolum, (9) Mt., Hersey, (10) Carver, (11) Hasty, (12) Pruitt, (13) Ozark, (14) Kyles Landing, (15) Steel Creek, (16) Highway 74, and (17) Highway 21. Typical synthetic stage hydrographs for the 100- and 500-year floods were determined for each site. Flow-duration data for gaging stations at St. Joe and Rush are shown. The average velocity of the water for the 100- and 500-year floods is shown for each site. Approximate flood boundaries delineating the 100- and 500-year floods are shown for Ponca , Steel Creek, Pruitt, St. Joe, and Buffalo Point.
