1935 Flood
I always thought the flood came from upstream Haigler. Did I understand that some of the flood waters came down through the Hackberry and the Kansas hills that feed into the South Fork and North Fork of the Arickaree with other tributarys like Sand Canyon east of Haigler, Sullivan Canyon West of Haigler, etc.? I guess I did not understand the entire region being encompassed with this massive rain storm. I always thought Beecher Island south of Wray and areas west of Wray is where is all started. I didn't know there was a second wave of flooding.

Yes, the rainstorm covered a large area and not only flooded the Arikaree, but also the north and south forks of the Republican River which converge at Benkelman. My grandparents lived along Cherry Creek at the time, well above the creekbed, but the water was actually as high as the steps at their front door. Cherry Creek was a raging torrent rushing on its way to the South Fork of the Republican.
