The USGS in cooperation with several local public and private entities has developed a web-based flood mapping tool to assist communities in visualizing their flood risk based upon the river levels as measured at certain gages. The stations for Fenton and Valley Park were the first two developed along the lower Meramec River.

The Fenton Gage is available for modeling at https://fim.wim.usgs.gov/fim/?site_no=07019210.

The Valley Park Gage is avaiable for modeling at https://fim.wim.usgs.gov/fim/?site_no=07019130.

Flooding is a common occurrence in certain areas of the Fenton Fire Protection District. Because of this constant threat, the district has developed maps to display the potential effects on flooding at different river levels. The maps are an estimate based on ground elevation and river levels measured at the Meramec River at Valley Park Gage.

The following maps are sized to be printed on 11x17 paper, are available as PDF files, and estimate the flooding of the Meramec River at:

• 27 Feet (141 at I-44 floods)
• 33 Feet (Old 141 Closes at Gravois)
• 38 Feet (2008 Flood Crest, Highway 30 Closes)
• 44 Feet (2015 Flood Crest)

Adobe Reader may be required to view the maps.
