Abstract
Flood hazard maps, delineating 50-year and 100-year flood plain areas, were prepared for an 80-mile reach of the Bitterroot River in Western Montana. Discharge rates corresponding to 50-year and 100-year recurrence frequency were obtained for six stations on the river using graphical methods suggested by the U.S. Geological Survey. River stage was monitored at 15 locations in the reach for a 14-day period during the June 1972 snowmelt runoff season to develop simulated rating curves. Aerial photographs of the reach were taken on June 1, 1972 when the river was in flood stage but before the snowmelt peak had occurred. The photographs were used in conjunction with the ground control sites to establish flood boundaries corresponding to 50 and 100-year floods.
