Four peak runoff rate models were tested with 183 gage years of record to determine the model most applicable to small watersheds of mild topography in east‐central Illinois. The Cypress Creek, Rational, Chow, and SCS peak runoff models were evaluated for their performance. Statistical analyses indicated the Soil Conservation Service model was most appropriate for the watersheds tested.
