Summary:

Flood magnitudes and frequencies were updated by log-Pearson type III analysis for 522 crest-stage and streamflow-gaging stations on unregulated streams in Montana, adjoining States, and Canada. These flood magnitudes were related to basin characteristics using ordinary least-squares multiple-regression techniques. On the basis of preliminary analysis, data from the regression were used to divide the State into eight hydrologic regions.
