St. Francis Dam Flood March 12-13, 1928, Los Angeles County, California. Landslips in the schist that developed on the east abutment as a result of failure of the dam and draining of the reservoir. Note displacement of the road. March 17, 1928.
USGS Hurricane Katrina. Images 040, 041, and 042. Historic home on Carrolton Avenue that burned after floodwaters receded. November 25, 2005. U.S. Geological Survey "Hurricane Katrina" photographs document general area shots and close-ups of the levee breeches from the failed 17th Street Canal and London Avenue Canal.
USGS Lakeview. Mold on ceiling. See images 066, 070, 071, and 073. What appears to be a decorative border between the wall and the ceiling actually marks the air space above the highest flood level. The mold grew best there. October 2, 2005. These are currently displayed in this year's USGS Photo Contest. U.S. Geological Survey "Lakeview" photographs document weekend "free time" in Lakeview. D.K. Demcheck's mother-in-law and brother-in-law lived here. His mother-in-law's place took 6 feet of water for two weeks. It was looted at least 3 times. The press reports of gunfire and breakdown of social order were exaggerated, but the amount of looting was not exaggerated.

Death Valley National Park, California. Parts of the floodplain that are frequently flooded are bare mud flats. The mounds are part of the work that was done for patenting the ground in the period 1900 to 1910. The mounds originally were small heaps of mud, but the rise of capillary moisture into them has deposited sodium chloride. View is southeast in Cottonball Basin. Photo by J.R. Stacy, circa 1960.

Fenwick Island, Maryland. Highly developed barrier beach at Ocean City. The dunes that once protected the island have been removed to improve the view, and the tall apartment buildings are so close to the water's edge that the beach is shadowed by mid-afternoon. Many of these buildings were damaged by flooding immediately after their construction. Beach replenishment along Fenwick Island in 1988 and 1990 by Maryland and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was designed to provide some temporary protection to the buildings and to increase the recreational value of the beach. 1990. Page 18, U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1075.

Death Valley National Park, California. Parts of the flood plain that are perennially damp, or even wet, develop a hummocky blister-like growth of silty salt. A recent flood that spread onto this ground deposited new salt (white) in the depressions, but there was not enough water to destroy the blister-like hummocks. Circa 1960.
