6 6.0 MAPPING METHODS 6.1 Vertical and Horizontal Control All FIS Reports and FIRMs are referenced to a specific vertical datum. The vertical datum provides a starting point against which flood, ground, and structure elevations can be referenced and compared. Until recently, the standard vertical datum used for newly created or revised FIS Reports and FIRMs was the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29). With the completion of the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), many FIS Reports and FIRMs are now prepared using NAVD88 as the referenced vertical datum. Flood elevations shown in this FIS Report and on the FIRMs are referenced to NAVD88. These flood elevations must be compared to structure and ground elevations referenced to the same vertical datum. For information regarding conversion between NGVD29 and NAVD88 or other datum conversion, visit the National Geodetic Survey website at Temporary vertical monuments are often established during the preparation of a flood hazard analysis for the purpose of establishing local vertical control. Although these monuments are not shown on the FIRM, they may be found in the archived project documentation associated with the FIS Report and the FIRMs for this community. Interested individuals may contact FEMA to access these data. To obtain current elevation, description, and/or location information for benchmarks in the area, please visit the NGS website at Base Map Table 20: Countywide Vertical Datum Conversion [Not Applicable to this Flood Risk Project] Table 21: Stream-Based Vertical Datum Conversion [Not Applicable to this Flood Risk Project] The FIRMs and FIS Report for this project have been produced in a digital format. The flood hazard information was converted to a Geographic Information System (GIS) format that meets FEMA s FIRM Database specifications and geographic information standards. This information is provided in a digital format so that it can be incorporated into a local GIS and be accessed more easily by the community. The FIRM Database includes most of the tabular information contained in the FIS Report in such a way that the data can be associated with pertinent spatial features. For example, the information contained in the Floodway Data table and Flood Profiles can be linked to the cross sections that are shown on the FIRMs. Additional information about the FIRM Database and its contents can be found in FEMA s Guidelines and Standards for Flood Risk Analysis and Mapping, 66

7 Base map information shown on the FIRM was derived from the sources described in Table 22. Table 22: Base Map Sources Data Type Digital Orthophoto Political boundaries Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Transportation Features Transportation Features Data Provider Iowa Geological and Water Survey, Department of Natural Resources U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division Iowa Department of Natural Resources Iowa Department of Transportation U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division Data Date Data Scale Data Description 2010 * Digital orthoimagery 2010 * Municipal and county boundaries :24,000 PLSS data of Iowa :5,000 Road centerlines :24,000 TIGER Line railroad data 6.3 Floodplain and Floodway Delineation The FIRM shows tints, screens, and symbols to indicate floodplains and floodways as well as the locations of selected cross sections used in the hydraulic analyses and floodway computations. For riverine flooding sources, the mapped floodplain boundaries shown on the FIRM have been delineated using the flood elevations determined at each cross section; between cross sections, the boundaries were interpolated using the topographic elevation data described in Table 23. In cases where the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floodplain boundaries are close together, only the 1% annual chance floodplain boundary has been shown. Small areas within the floodplain boundaries may lie above the flood elevations but cannot be shown due to limitations of the map scale and/or lack of detailed topographic data. The floodway widths presented in this FIS Report and on the FIRM were computed for certain stream segments on the basis of equal conveyance reduction from each side of the floodplain. Floodway widths were computed at cross sections. Between cross sections, the floodway boundaries were interpolated. Table 2 indicates the flooding sources for which floodways have been determined. The results of the floodway computations for those flooding sources have been tabulated for selected cross sections and are shown in Table 24, Floodway Data. 67
