In cooperation with the Highway Division, Georgia Department of Transportation, the U.S. Geological Survey determined the backwater effects of existing bridges and dikes on Cedar Creek at Cedar town, Georgia, for the reach from West Girard Avenue to the Georgia Avenue relocation. The maximum backwater effect for the bridges was 1.7 feet in the upstream approach at the Seaboard Coastline Railroad bridge as a combined result of the Georgia Highway 278 bridge and the Seaboard Coastline Railroad bridge. The maximum effect from the existing dikes was 0.7 foot at the approach section of Georgia Highway 278. INTRODUCTION The May 1974 U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 75-46, "Cedar Creek at Cedartown, Georgia, Floodflow at Georgia Avenue Relocation and Canal Street Extension" (Price, 1975), prepared in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Transportation, described the hydraulic characteristics of the Georgia Avenue relocation and Canal Street extension as constructed in April 19/4, and evaluated the effects of three proposed changes in roadway grade at the Georgia Avenue relocation. The supplemental U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 75-332, "Cedar Creek at Cedartown, Georgia, Floodflow Characteristics from West Girard Avenue to the Georgia Avenue Relocation" (Price, 1975), prepared in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Transportation, described the hydraulic characteristics at the Georgia Avenue relocation with highway grade changes as constructed in June 1975. In April 1981 the study of floodflow characteristics of Cedar Creek was expanded to include the reach from West Girard Avenue upstream to 1,700 feet above Georgia Avenue. The purpose of this report is to study present floodflow conditions, as the Cedartown community is planning construction of dikes or retention pools to alleviate flooding problems. The study includes floodflow characteristics for floods having recurrence intervals of 10, 25, 50, and 100 years and the flood of March 4, 1979, for the following conditions: A. Natural conditions No bridges or dikes constructed B. Conditions with existing bridges in place No dikes constructed C. Conditions with existing bridges and dikes in place The Highway Division furnished profiles of the channel and roadways, 29 cross sections of the Cedar Creek channel and flood plain, and aerial photographs of the reach. The locations of the highway crossings and cross sections are shown in figure 1. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers furnished data for a gaging station (drainage area, 63.8 mi^) at old Georgia Avenue bridge (450 ft above the present Georgia Avenue bridge) for the period 1949-58.
