Nystrom, E.A., Lilienthal, A.G., and Coon, W.F., 2018, Geospatial dataset of flood-inundation maps for Cayuga Inlet, Sixmile Creek, Cascadilla Creek, and Fall Creek at Ithaca, New York: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9V8ED23.

Summary

This dataset contains inundation boundary polygons for 15 modeled water-surface profiles at 5 flood frequencies (50- , 10- , 2- , 1- , and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities, or 2- , 10- , 50- , 100- , and 500-year recurrence intervals) and 3 lake levels (representing average conditions, a 2-year-high condition, and a 100-year-high condition).
