<br />Hydraulic analyses conducted in this study were done using u.s.
<br />Army Corp of Engineers computer model HEe2. The general land
<br />slope in the study reach is less than 1 percent, therefore
<br />backwater effects from roads, bridges, ete are very significant.
<br />In some cases HEe2 was used to develop discharge-elevation rating
<br />tables for use in TR20. Water surface profiles were computed for
<br />three general reaches.

<br />A considerable out of bank division of flow occurs between County
<br />Road 31 and the Pawnee DitCh crossing. The Pawnee Creek channel
<br />at this location has a very limited carrying capacity. A portion
<br />of the out-of-bank flow moves toward the southeast to the
<br />vicinity of Atwood. water surface profiles were not computed for
<br />this out-of-bank segment of flow, except along U.S. Highway 6
<br />between Atwood and the main channel, because of the lack of
<br />topographic data.
<br />A significant out-of-bank division of flow also occurs just below
<br />County Road 33. The out-of-bank flow at this location moves
<br />overland away from the main channel towards the northeast and
<br />eventually to the vicinity of the Riverside Cemetery. Water
<br />surface profiles were not computed for this segment of flow
<br />because of the unpredictable meandering flow pattern through
<br />farmland; however, a probable flow path was sketched on the flood
<br />plain Il'.aps.

<br />Alluvial fan type topography exists along Pawnee Creek
<br />immediately below U.S. Highway 6 and the railroad. The flow
<br />here divides three ways: the main channel, left overbank, and
<br />right OVerbank. Only a profile along the main channel is shown
<br />in the included flood profiles. Backwater computations were
<br />made, however, for the overbank flow segments for purposes of
<br />defining the flood boundaries on included flood plain maps. '

<br />A ~cco~d rcac~ i~cludc~ ~ ~~ort cc~c~t of flew ~long the
<br />railroad and U.S. Highway 6 between the main Pawnee Creek channel
<br />and the town of Atwood. The source of this flow is from out-of-
<br />bank conditions at the upper end of reach one, discussed
<br />previously. A major part of this segment of flow will overflow
<br />the highway and railroad near AtWOOd with the residual moving on
<br />to the main Channel at U.S. Highway 6.
<br />the third reach is a profile along U.S. Highway 6 and the
<br />railroad from the Riverside Cc~etery upstream to the bridges on
<br />Pa\lmee Creek.
