Abstract
800 Miles of Missouri River Terrain Processing for Floodplain Mapping Track: Water Resources Author(s): Bob Franke, Brandon Banks, Andy Bonner, Gray Minton The Missouri River represents the longest overall flooding source within FEMA Region VII (Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska). The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) recently completed an engineering flood study of the Missouri River, from its mouth at St. Louis, upstream to River Mile 811 in Nebraska. As part of this effort, the USACE collected new topographic data covering this reach of the Missouri River floodplain. Recognizing the need to utilize this data for floodplain mapping, FEMA Region VII set out to develop a seamless terrain model of the Missouri River floodplain. ArcGIS and extensions will be used to produce the seamless TIN model derived from a variety of digital terrain model source data. This TIN will be used as the foundation for floodplain mapping and engineering efforts as FEMA continues its floodplain mapping program within counties bordering the Missouri River in Region VII.
