Hydrograph for Coeur d'Alene River at Cataldo
55' - The main Coeur d'Alene River Road between Kingston and Prichard will be flooded.
47' - Significant flooding can be expected from Cataldo to Harrison. Cataldo will be completely flooded. The I-90 west-bound exit and entrance at Cataldo will likely be flooded.
46' - The east-bound I-90 exit and entrance near Cataldo may be flooded. Latour Creek Road will be flooded and impassable. The Old Coeur d'Alene River Road along the North Fork of the Couer d'Alene River will be flooded.
45' - The County may begin pumping operations behind levels above this stage if the river is expected to remain over flood stage for a long duration.
44' - Homes near the river may experience some flooding of basements. Water will begin to cover CCC Road near the Mennonite Church. Some water will be over the section of Latour Creek Road immediately south of Interstate 90, near the campground. Due to the high water table some homes behind the Cataldo levee will be surrounded by water.
43' - Minor flooding of farmland from Cataldo downstream to Rose Lake and Harrison is likely. The campground at Cataldo will also begin to flood. Portions of Dudley Road, west of Latour Creek, will likely be underwater and impassable. If there is significant water already in the floodplain, these impacts may occur at lower stages. Old Coeur d'Alene River Road on the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River near Enaville may begin to flood north of the Bumblebee Bridge.
42.5' - Portions of Riverview Road between Cataldo and Kingston will be flooded, especially near Abbey Road and below Fast Hill Road. Lowlands around Latour Creek Road will fill with water.
