SYSTEM NO. 8
KOESTER DITCH AND TRIBUTARIES
General Comments
The watershed drained by Stream System No. 8 consists of 5.56
square miles in the north-east quarter of Allen County. Located
just north-east of Ft. Wayne, the watershed is over four miles
long (north to south) and ranges up to approximately 2 miles
wide (east to west). Koester Ditch is the main "drain for the
watershed and outlets into the Maumee River Just downstream of
New Haven. Langley and Mowrer Ditches are tributaries of Koester
Ditch. Grice Ditch is a tributary of Langley Ditch.
The watershed area is almost exclusively used for some form of
farming operation. Little flood plain encroachment has occurred
up to the present time. Curve number 82 was used throughout the.
watershed for the flood routings.
The flood profiles show the Standard Project Flood as backing
up at the Norfolk and Western Railroad. Water pooling at this
elevation would possibly spillover into the drainage area to
the west of System No. 8 as marked on Exhibit B, Sheet I of 2.
Approximately 7 miles of System No. 8 streams were studied for
this document. Measurement of flooded areas from Exhibit B,
Flood Hazard Areas Maps, shows that approximately 230 acres
would be inundated by the 100-Year flood. The Standard Project
Flood would cover approximately 700 acres.
