If those floods were to happened today, they would declare it a "natural wetland", even it the flooding was the result of something man did. Then, you could not use it for ANYTHING.

I saw that happen not 10 miles from where I live. Dad used to hunt several hundred acres of timber land near the Mississippi back in the 50's. He said it was always dry there. I remember some places where they had cleared the trees for farm fields. Then someone got an idea and built the interstate right through the middle of it which dammed up the natural drainage. They had to dig ditches to drain it. I used to four-wheel there by permission on private property in the early 80's. Soon after, it was declared a wetland, and the drainage ditches were allowed to silt in. Today all of the trees that had reforested the farm fields have died because of being drowned by a constant 2-feet of standing water. The old fence posts are still there, just barely sticking out of the black water and floating scum.
