Abstract
The characteristics of flood flow that may have either general or special application and therefore must be considered in any preliminary studies for protecting a given locality are briefly stated, not by way of defining probable flood limits for individual cases, but of indicating methods of deduction that must be followed. The available data that seemed reliable and valuable have been listed and platted to give a visual representation of the range of discharge per square mile for maximum recorded floods. Where possible, the portion of the maximum flow which represents the average annual maximum flood on each stream, has been indicated.
