The principal community within this reach is Wilkes-Barre. The digital data set provides a technical foundation for plans that invlove the use of flood-plain lands at a scale of 1:24000. The areal extent of the flooding is mapped for the largest known flood, which occured June 24, 1972, as a result of heavy rains that accompanied Tropical Storm Agnes. Purpose: A digital representation of the Hydrological Investigations Atlas HA-523.
