What Floods at Each Level
15 ft
Level at which flood waters would enter the Eden Methodist Cemetery. Because the cemetery is on a very high bank...an unbelieveable flood would be in progress...much of Eden would be inundated including State Roads 9 and 234.
13 ft
Very likely at record flood at Eden. Flood waters cover much of Eden and Methodist Church property. Evacuations would be necesary. State Road 9 and 234 may be flooded.
7 ft
Sugar Creek would definately be out of its banks at this level. Because gage is not located at State Road 9...a quick estimate of flood levels compared to the highway was not possible. Therefore...please refer to downstream site located at State Road 234.
5.5 ft
