Notes | This report shows 100-year-flood information for river miles 0-10 on the Siletz River. A set of 5 fold-out charts show inundation areas for 100-year-floods. Flood zones are superimposed on aerial photographs taken in January, 1971. The ten greatest floods as of 1970 (at river mile 10) are given. “Siletz River overtops its banks nearly every year and sometimes several times during the same year. Floods near the mouth are accentuated when high water in the river combines with high tides… [I]n the past ten years, the flood plain has been the object of considerable subdivision activity.” (p.3) |
