What is St. Francis Dam Flood Mapping Analysis about?

This document summarizes research mapping the 1928 St. Francis Dam failure flood in California using geographic information systems. The researchers orthorectified historical aerial photos and flood maps to recreate the extent and limits of flooding. Their high-resolution GIS flood map showed improvements over initial estimates, providing greater understanding of the catastrophic failure that killed over 400 people.
