Map and Timeline of the Johnstown Flood

This link is to an interesting website that uses both maps and timelines to detail how the Johnstown Dam burst in May 1889. It highlights both where the reservoir used to be, as well as the path that the flood waters took. The timeline has a lot of interesting sources if you wish to learn more about the history of the flood, which was caused by faulty dam construction.
