PREFACE

This Flood Plain Management Study was prepared by Associated Design

Professionals, Inc. of Colorado Springs, Colorado for the city of Canon City and the

Colorado Water Conservation Board. This study was prepared to provide

information on the flood hazard areas along the Four-Mile Creek and Mud Gulch

information provided by Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and was

supplemented with new mapping and additional field observations.

Included in this study are information on past floods, the potential for future

floods, flooded area maps, water surface profiles, selected cross sections, peak

discharge data, and recommendations for reducing potential flood damages.

The assistance and cooperation provided by the Natural Resources

ConseI'\'ation Sen.ice, Colorado Water Consen.'ation Board, Fremont County, and the
