April 27, 2011, flooding of the Souris (Mouse) River near Westhope, North Dakota. The small building is the U.S. Geological Survey gage house and is normally on the river bank and raised so that one needs to take stairs up to get into the gage house. There is also an access road next to the gage house and electrical pole.

The Maple River Dam is a pass-through dam that lets a limited amount of water flow through year round and fills the reservoir only during high flow. If the water rises high enough to fill the reservoir, water flows over the spillway shown in this photo. Video taken at the same time is available online.
