<br />Illustrations Captions <br /> <br />1. Map of the Buffalo Creek study area showing the extent of May 18, 1996 wildfire, selected flood sites. <br /> <br /> <br />Insert map at lower right shows the general location of the study area near Denver, Colorado. lsohyetal <br /> <br /> <br />patterns for the July 12, 1996 rainstorm from paleohydrologic interpretations are compared to Doppler <br /> <br /> <br />radar (NWS-WSR-88) rainfall estimates by Henz Meteorological Services reconstructed in 1997. The <br /> <br /> <br />paleohydrologic rainfall estimates were made four days after the storm. <br /> <br />2. Schematic cross section with hydraulic properties for the July 12, 1996 flood in Buffalo Creek near the <br /> <br /> <br />North Fork South Platte River at Buffalo Creek, Colorado. <br /> <br />3. Relation between peak discharge and contributing drainage area for rainstorms in 1996 and 1997 in <br /> <br /> <br />the Buffalo Creek area, Colorado. Lines show approximated 1-hour storm rainfall for burned and <br /> <br /> <br />unburned basins. Selected flash-flood data for extreme rainstorms for similar, unburned basins in the <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado Front Range foothills help assess the effects of the fire on flooding in Buffalo Creek. <br />
