Tar River at Princeville, North Carolina Flood Map Files from October 2016

These polygon boundaries, inundation extents, and depth rasters were created to provide an extent of flood inundation along the Tar River within the community of Princeville, North Carolina. The upstream and downstream reach extent is determined by the location of high-water marks, not extending the boundary far past the outermost high-water marks. In areas of uncertainty of flood extent, the model boundary is lined up with the flood inundation polygon extent. This boundary polygon was used to extract the final flood inundation polygon and depth layer from the flood water surface raster file. The passage of Hurricane Matthew through central and eastern North Carolina during October 7-9, 2016, brought heavy rainfall which resulted in [...]
