The Sheyenne River, which flows directly through Lisbon, is classified as a 'perch river' whose elevated banks cause breach floodwaters to spread across a wide area rather than being channel-contained (base record).

Flood stage at the Lisbon gauge was cited from 15 to more than 19 feet for major events, and FEMA issued a Letter of Map Revision effective 11/16/2021 (base record).
