A library of 35 flood-inundation maps at 0.5 ft increments ranging in stage from 11- to 28-ft was prepared for use as a quick reference guide. The map library identifies areas likely to be flooded throughout a range of high-streamflow conditions depending on the stage. Real-time stage data obtained from the Utopia gage can be used to select which flood-inundation maps are of interest during a flood. The flood-inundation maps and HEC–RAS model documented by this data release and its companion interpretive report will be made available as part a flood preparedness toolset for the Sabinal River at the Utopia gage. The toolset is intended to provide emergency management personnel and residents with information to aid with flood response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well information for use in post-flood recovery efforts.
