- Flooding of crop, pasture land, and low lying areas is extensive. The towns of Glade, Speed, and Logan are located on high ground and are not subject to flooding. However, at a river stage of 18 feet most every county road over the North Fork of the Solomon River within Phillips County except for the Highway 183 bridge will become flooded. Therefore, flooding will cut off access to Speed and Logan from the south. A record flood of 18.65 feet occurred in September of 2016.
