USGS station records for the December 1964 and January 1965 floods, including the Eel River at Scotia and South Fork Eel River near Miranda.
Summary and historical context#
This volume documents the December 1964 and January 1965 floods in the far western states. Its station entries include the Eel River at Scotia and the South Fork Eel River near Miranda. The volume’s identifier is Water-Supply Paper 1866-B; the event dates in its title should not be mistaken for its publication date.
Station entries distinguish recorded observations from reconstructed or estimated information. Read the explanatory notes alongside a quoted discharge or stage. Gauge heights depend on the station’s reference datum, and a measurement method is part of the historical evidence.
For interpretation across the region, compare the technical report with California State Parks’ account of the 1955 and 1964 Eel River floods. The two sources have different purposes: one organizes measurement records, while the other explains historical effects in the park landscape.
