In 1965, the Platte River flooded, devastating everything along its path. In 2011, this commemorative sculpture was added to the South Platte Park as a benchmark to visualize the 14-foot flood waters and the destruction it caused. Atop the sculpture sit silhouettes of a car and trees, representative of the damage the flood waters caused.
Interpretive panels near the sculpture provide additional information about the 1965 flood.
