SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BASIN, 1958 

SCOPE OF WORK 

This volume is one of a series of 18 reports presenting measurements of stage, discharge, and content of streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the water 

year ending September 30, 1958. Since 1888, when the United States Geological Survey first 

studied streamflow in relation to problems of irrigation, similar measurements have been 

made at more than 14,000 gaging stations in the 48 States and at many others in the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. On September 30, 1958, the Geological Survey and cooperating 

organizations were maintaining 7,090 gaging stations, including those in Alaska and Hawaii. 

Partial-record stations for low flow or for flood flow have been operated at many other 

points. In addition discharge measurements are made at miscellaneous sites. The records 

for the water year October 1, 1957, to September 30, 1958, at gaging stations, partialrecord stations, and miscellaneous sites in the St. Lawrence River basin are given in this 

report.

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS 

Information of a more detailed nature than that published for most of the gaging stations given in this report is on file in the district offices listed on page 2. All gagingstatlon records for Indiana and some for Illinois and Vermont have been analyzed by electronic computer to give: (1) the number of days in each year that the daily discharge was 

between selected limits (duration tables); and (2) the lowest mean discharge for periods 

of 7, 15, 30, 60, 120, and 183 consecutive days in each year. In addition, the records for 

Illinois and Vermont give the highest mean discharge for periods of 3, 7, 15, 30, and 120 

consecutive days in each year. Provisional records of discharge, information on the 

availability of electronic computer results, and other unpublished data concerning the 

gaging-station records may generally be obtained from the district offices. 

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS 

The terms of streamflow and other hydrologic data, as used in this report, are defined 

as follows: 

Gaging station is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where systematic observations of gage height or discharge are obtained. When used in connection 

with a discharge record, the term is applied herein only to those gaging stations where a 

continuous record of discharge is obtained. 

Partial -record station is a particular site where limited streamflow data are collected 

systematically over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses. 

Cubic foot per second (cfs) is the rate of discharge of a stream whose channel is 

1 square foot in cross-sectional area and whose average velocity is 1 foot per second. 

Cubic feet per second per square mile (cfsm) is the average number of cubic feet of 

water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, assuming that the runoff is 

distributed uniformly in time and area. 

Runoff in inches (in.) shows the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if 

ap the runoff for a given time period were uniformly distributed on it. 

Acre-foot (ac-ft) is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 

1 foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet .. 

Cfs-day is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 cubic foot per second for 

24 hours. It is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,317 gallons, 

and represents a runoff of O. 0372 inch from 1 square mile. 

Stage-discharge relation is the relation between gage height and the amount of water 

flowing in a channel, expressed as volume per unit of time. 

Control designates a feature downstream from the gage that determines the stagedischarge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural constriction of the channel, 

a long reach of the channel, or an artificial structure. 

Contents is the volume of water in a reservoir. Unless otherwise indicated, volume is 

computed on the basis of a level pool and does not include bank storage. 

The drainage area of a stream at a specified location is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, which is so enclosed by a topographic divide that direct surface runoff from 

precipitation normally would drain by gravity into the river above the specified point. 

Figures of drainage area given herein include all closed basins, or noncontributing areas, 

within the area unless otherwise noted. 

WSP is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper" in references to prelfiously 

published reports. 
SURFACE WATllR SUPPLY, 1958, PART 4 

DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBERS 

Beginning with the series of reports for the water year ending September 30, 1951, the 

order of listing gaging-station records was changed. In this report, in a downstream 

direction along the main stem all stations on a tributary entering above a main-stem station are listed before that station. If a tributary enters between two main-stem stations, 

it is listed between them. A similar order is followed in listing stations on first rank, 

second rank, and other ranks of tributaries. To indicate the rank of any tributary on 

which a gaging station is situated and the stream to which 1t ls immediately tributary, 

each indention in the listing of gaging stations in the table of contents of this report 

represents one rank. This downstream order and system of indention show which gaging 

stations are on tributaries between any two stations on a main stem and the rank of the 

tributary on which each gaging statlon is situated. 

The order of listing used before the publication of the 1951 report listed first all 

stations on the main stem from headwaters toward mouth, then all stations on the uppermost 

tributary to the main stem from the tributary's source to mouth, and then all stations from 

source to mouth of the uppermost tributary to the tributary. 

As an added means of identification, each gaging station and partial-record station has 

been assigned a station number. The numbers have been assigned in the same downstream 

order used in this report. In assigning station numbers. no distinction is inade between 

partial-record stations and regular gaging stations, so that the station number for a 

partial-record station indicates downstream-order position in a list made up of both types 

of stations. Gaps are left in the numbers to allow for new stations that may be established; hence the numbers are not consecutive. The complete number for each station has 

eight digits, but the station number as shown in this report, just to the left of the 

station name 1 consists of only the essential digits of the complete number. For example, 

for a station with the complete number 04-0405. 00, the station number shown in this report 

is 405. The notation in the two places to the left of the hyphen is the part number; 1t is 

4 for all stations in this report and is therefore omitted. 

EXPLANATION OF DATA 

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage and measurements 

of discharge. In addition, observations of factors affecting the stage-discharge relation, 

weather records, and other information are used to supplement base data in determining the 

daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct readings on a nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of fluctuations. 

Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter by the general methods adopted by 

the Geological Survey on the basis of experience in stream gaging since 1888. These methods 

are described in Water-Supply Paper 888 ,'and are also outlined in standard textbooks on the 

measurement of stream discharge. 

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from stage-discharge 

relation curves defined by discharge measurements. If extensions to the rating curves are 

necessary to define the extremes of discharge, they are made on the basis of indirect 

measurements of peak discharge (such as slope-area or contracted-opening measurements, 

computation of flow over dams or weirs, and by other methods), velocity-area studies, and 

logarithmic plotting. The application of the daily mean gage height to those rating 
EXPLANATION OF DATA 

tables gives the daily mean discharge, from which the monthly and the yearly mean discharge are computed. If the stage-discharge relation is subject to change because of frequent or continual change in the physical features that form the control, the daily mean 

discharge is determined by the shifting-control method, ,in which correction factors based 

on individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used in 

applying the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharge relation for a 

station is temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control, 

the daily mean discharge is computed by what is essentially the shifting-control method. 

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation ls affected by backwater from 

reservoirs, tributary streams, or other sources. This necessitates the use of the slope 

method in which the slope or fall in a reach of the stream is a factor in determining discharge. Information requisite for determining the slope or fall is obtained by means of 

an auxiliary gage set at some distance from the base gage. At some stations the stagedischarge relation is affected by changing stage. If so, the rate of change in stage is 

used as a factor in the determination of discharge. 

At most gaging stations in the northern part of the United States and at some in the 

mountainous regions of other parts the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice during 

the winter, and it becomes impossible to compute the discharge in the usual manner. Discharge for periods of ice effect is computed on the basis of the gage-height record and 

occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and comparable records of discharge for other stat ions in the same or nearby bas ins. If the 

stage-discharge relation is affected by ice, this information is given in a note to the 

table. No mention is made of occasional days of ice effect if the degree of accuracy of 

daily records is not changed. 

The data herein presented generally comprise a description of the station, a skeleton 

rating table, and a table showing the daily discharge and monthly and yearly discharge of 

the stream. Records are published for the water year which begins on October 1 and ends 

on September 30. A calendar for the water year 1958 is shown on page IV for the purpose 

of finding the day of the week for any date. 

The description of the station gives the location, drainage area, records available, 

type and history of gages, average discharge, extremes of discharge, general remarks, and 

notations of revisions of the previously published record. The location of the gaging 

station and the drainage area are obtained from the most accurate maps available. River 

mileage, given under 11Location11 for some stations, is that determined and used by the Corps 

of Engineers unless otherwise noted. Under 11Records available 11 are given the periods for 

which there are published records generally equivalent to those at the present site. 

Under "Gage" are given the type of gage currently in use and the datum of the present gage 

above mean sea level, and a condensed history of the types, locations, and datums of 

previous gages used during the period of records available. Under II Average discharge" is 

given the average discharge for the number of years indicated. It is not given for stations having fewer than five complete years of record or for stations where changes in 

water development during the period of record cause the figure to have little significance. 

Under "Extremes" aregiventhe maximum discharge and gage height; the minimum discharge if 

there is little or no regulation; the minimum daily discharge 1f there is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge 1f useful); and the minimum gage height (unless 1t is 
6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 4 

of no importance). In the first paragraph, the data given al'e for the complete current 

water year unless otherwise specified. In the second paragraph, the data given are for the 

periods of record within the calendar year dates in the heading (not necessarily those for 

the complete years indicated by the heading dates). Reliable information concerning maJor 

floods that have occurred outside the period of record are given in the third or last 

paragraph under "Extremes." Unless otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge corresponds 

to the crest stage obtained by use of a water-stage recorder, a crest-stage indicator, or 

a nonrecording gage read at the time of the crest. If the maximum gage height did not 

occur at the same time as the maximum discharge, it is given separately. Information 

pertaining to the accuracy of the records and conditions which affect the natural flow at 

the gaging station ls given under "Remarks . 11 

Previously published records of some stations have been found to be in error on the 

basis of data or information later obtained. Revisions of such records are usually 

published along with the current records in one of the annual reports. In order to make 

it easier to find such revised records, a paragraph headed "Revisions (water years) 11 has 

been added to the description of all stations for which revised records have been published. Listed therein are all the reports in which revisions have been published, each 

followed by the water years for which figures are revised in that report. In listing the 

water years only one number is given; for instance, 1933 stands for the water year October 1, 

1932, to September 30, 1933. If no daily, monthly, or annual figures of discharge are concerned in the revision, that fact is brought out by notations after the year dates as follows: "(M)" means that only the instantaneous maximum discharge was revised; "(m)" that 

only the instantaneous minimum was revised; and 11 (P)" .that only peak discharges were revised. If the drainage area has been revised, the report in which the revised figure was 

,~st published is given. It should be noted that for all stations for which cubic feet 

:,-':!cond per square mile and runoff in inches are published, a revision of the drainage 

qrea 11ecessitates corresponding revision of all figures based on the drainage area. Re-

'· sed figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches resulting from 

a revision of the drainage area only are usually not published in the annual series of 

reports. 

Skeleton rating tables are published for all stations except those at which the daily 

discharge for the greater part of the open-water period was determined by the shiftingcontrol method, the slope method, or other special methods involving an equivalent adjustment to the gage height of more than one-tenth foot. Skeleton rating tables are generally 

not published for stations on canals. 

For stations equipped with water-stage recorders, except those on streams subJect to 

sudden or rapid fluctuation, the dally table gives the discharge corresponding to the 

dally mean gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation, the daily mean gage 

height may not indicate the true dally mean discharge, which must be obtained by averaging 

the discharge for parts of the day or by using the discharge integrator, an instrument for 

obtaining the daily mean discharge from a continuous gage-height graph and containing, as 

an essential element, a curve representing the stage-discharge relation at the station. 

For stations equipped with nonrecording gages, the table of dally discharge gives the 

discharge corresponding to once-daily readings of the gage, or to the mean of twice-daily 

readings, or to the mean gage height determined from gage-height graphs based on gage 

readings. For periods of rapidly changing stage, the daily mean discharge is determined 
EXPLANATION OF DATA 

from gage-height graphs based on gage readings, the frequency of which is stated in the 

station description. 

7 

In the table of daily discharge, the figures for the maximum day and the minimum day for 

each month are underlined. If the figure is repeated, it is underlined only on the first 

day of its occurrence. 

In the monthly summary below the daily table, the line headed "Total" gives the sum of 

the daily figures; it is the total cfs-days for the month. The line headed "Mean" gives 

the average flow in cubic feet per second during the month. Discharge for the month may 

be expressed in cubic feet per second per square mile (line headed "Cfsm"), or in inches 

(line headed "In."), or in acre-feet (line headed "Ac-ft"). Figures for cubic feet per 

second per square mile and runoff in inches are omitted if the drainage area includes 

large noncontributing areas, or if the average annual rainfall over the drainage basin is 

usually less than 20 inches. 

In the yearly summary below the monthly summary, the figures of maximum are the maximum 

daily discharges, not the momentary discharges when the water was at crest stage. Likewise, the minimums in this summary are the minimum daily discharges. 

Peak discharges and the times of their occurrence and corresponding gage heights of 

most stations are listed below the table of daily and monthly discharge. All independent 

peaks above the selected base are given. The base discharge, which is given in parentheses, is selected so that an average of about three peaks a year will be presented. 

Peak discharges are not published for canals, ditches, drains, or for any stream for which 

the peaks are subject to substantial control by man. 

Footnotes to the table of daily discharge indicate periods when discharge was computed 

or estimated by unusual or special methods during periods of no gage-height record and ice 

effect, or by other effects that reduce the degree of accuracy of the records. Days on 

which discharge measurements were made are indicated by asterisk and footnote unless they 

were made at frequent regular intervals, in which instance the general frequency of discharge measurements is given under 11 Remarks" in the station description. 

For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a description of the station and a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reservoirs 

a table showing daily contents or stage is given. A skeleton table of capacity at given 

stages is published each year for all reservoirs for which records are published on a 

daily basis, but is not published for reservoirs for which only monthly data are given. 

At many gaging stations water samples are collected from the streams for the purpose of 

making chemical analyses, computing dissolved solids, suspended sediment loads, and 

particle-size distribution, or measuring water temperatures. For most of these samples 

the results are published in an annual series of water-supply papers entitled "Quality of 

Surface Waters of the United States" which is issued in four volumes. In this report 

under 11Rernark:;i," a reference is made to quality-of-water records collected at gaging stations on a regular basis and published in the quality-of-water reports. At many other 

gaging stations quality-of-water data are obtained at irregular intervals and published as 

"miscellaneous analyses 11 in quality-of-water reports; such records are not referred to in 

11 Remarks 11 paragraph in this report. At many gaging stations water temperature is obtained 

also at the time a discharge measurement is made; such temperature readings are not reported in the quality-of-water annual reports. 

Data collected at partial-record stations and at miscellaneous sites are given at the 

end of each report. Partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The first is 
8 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 4 

a table of discharge measurements at low-flow parttal-record stations, and the second is 

a table of annual maximwn stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. Discharge measurements at miscellaneous sites are given in a third table. Occasionally, a series of discharge measurements are made within a short time period to investigate the seepage gains 

or losses along a reach of a stream or to determine the low-flow characteristics of an 

area. Such measurements are given in special tables after the list of measurements at 

miscellaneous sites. 

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS 

The accuracy of streamflow data depends primarily on (1) the stability of the stagedischarge relation or, if the control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements, 

and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of discharge, and interpretation of records. 

The station description states the degree of accuracy of the records. 11Excellent 11 indicates that, in general, the error in the daily records is believed to be less than 5 percent; 11 good, 11 less than 10 percent; 11 fair, 11 less than 15 percent; and 11 poor, 11 probably 

more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean discharge and runoff are, in 

general, more nearly accurate than the daily records. 

Discharge at some stations, as indicated by the monthly mean, may vary widely from 

natural runoff, owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, incre~se or decrease in evaporation due to artificial causes, or to other factors. For such stations, 

figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and of runoff in inches are not published 

unless satisfactory adjustments can be made for diversions, for changes in contents of 

reservoirs, or for other changes incident to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir 

is not included in the adjustments for changes in reservoir contents, unless it is so 

stated. Even at those stations where adjustments are made, large errors in computed runoff 

may occur when relatively large negative adjustments are made or when evaporation is large 

in comparison with the observed discharge. 

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the United States are situated 

above most of the diversions from those streams, and therefore the discharge recorded does 

not actually show the water supply available at the stations for further development, because water 111Ust first be supplied to existing irrigation systems. 

PUBLICATIONS 

To facilitate publication of the annual series of reports, the area of the United States 

is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural drainage lines. 

Formerly, the results of streamflow measurements were published in 14 volumes, one for 

each of the 14 parts. Beginning with the reports for 1951, the records are published in 

18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. The boundaries of the 

various parts are indicated by the following list and the map in figure 1.

A compilation of records for the area covered by this report through September 1950 has 

been published as water-Supply Paper 1307. That report contains a summary of monthly and 

annual discharges for all previously published records as well as some records not contained in the annual series of water-supply papers. All records were reexamined and revised where warranted. Estimates of discharge were made to fill short gaps whenever 

practical. 

The reports listed in the foregoing tables contain the customary records of discharge 

collected during the systematic operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on the 

stage and discharge of many streams during major floods has been included in special reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey or other agencies. The more 

recent of these special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic information and 

analyses and compilations of data relating to earlier notable floods. The following list 

gives the numbers and titles of these reports:

Note,--Records for the stations glven in the above table are W1pUbl1shed but are available at the office of the organization by which the station was operated, In addition to the records listed in the above table, the Agricultural Research Service of the U. S, Department of Agriculture (beginning in 1941) has collected records of runoff' from 3 areas of less than 2 acres each near East Lansing, Mich. 

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS 

In the area covered by this report, few significant extremes of streamfloW occurred 

during the 1958 water year. In the northern part of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan 

runoff was deficient for seven consecutive months from March to September, and was recordlow for May and August. During May and June, runoff was deficient in most parts of Michigan 

and Wisconsin. Runoff of Fox River at Berlin, Wis., was record-low for August and was 

25 percent less than the previous August low in 60 years of record. No noteworthy floods 

occurred during the year. 

Figure 2 on the following page, for which records of two long-term gaging stations were 

used, shows a comparison of the monthly and yearly mean discharges during the 1958 water 

year wlth the median discharge for the period 1921-45.

21⁄2 miles east of Aurora, and 23⁄4 miles upstream from mouth. 

Drainage area.--156 sq mi. 

Records available. --August 1942 to September 1958. 

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1,402.30 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. Aug. 5, 1942, to Aug. 25, 1944, staff gage and Aug. 26, 1944, to July 1, 1956, 

water-stage recorder, at site 45 ft downstream at same datum. 

Average discharge.--16 years, 132 cfs (adjusted for storage and diversion). 

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 300 cfs Sept. 28 (gage height, 3.68 ft); mini- mum daily, 7 .5 cfs Feb. 12-20. 

1942-58: Maximum discharge, 3,230 cfs May 10 1 1950 (gage height, 7.86 ft); minimum,

Remarks. --Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Flow regu- -rii:ted at times by storage in off-channel Partridge Reservoir, formerly known as White- water Lake. Reservoir formed from lake by levees around marsh areas and natural out- let. Available capacity, 20,000 acre-ft between elevation 1,410 ft (natural lake 

level) and 1,440 ft. Storage began Apr. 9, 1955. Storage in reservoir obtained from 

Colby Lake during periods of high flow; release from storage returned to Colby Lake to maintain lake elevation during diversion for iron ore processing. Diversion began 

Feb. ·7, 1956. Some seepage losses from reservoir bypass station. Records of chemical analyses and water temperatures for the water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

645. Pine River at Pine River powerplant, near Florence, Wis. 

Location.--Lat 45°49 1 40", long 88°14 1 55", in sec.28, T.39 N., R.18 E., at powerplant of ---.risconsin-Michigan Power Co., 5.0 miles downstream from Popple Rlver and 6.5 miles south of Florence. 

Drainage area.--528 sq mi. 

Records available. --October 1923 to September 1958. 

Average discharge. --35 years, 417 cfs. 

Extremes.--Maximum daily discharge during year, 1,600 cfs July 5; minimum daily, 52 cfs ~16, 21. 1923-58: Maximum daily discharge, 4,380 cfs Apr. 9, 1929; no flow at times in 1924, 1926-27, 1930-31, 1933, 1940. 

Remarks. --Records good except those above 700 cfs, which are fair. Daily discharge ~rmined from powerplant records. Flow regulated by powerplant at station, but pondage is small and monthly discharge is very nearly natural flow. 

Cooperation.--Records of daily discharge computed by Wisconsin-Michigan Power Co. on basis ol' load-discharge rating of hydroelectric units as developed by Geological Survey and gate ratings based on theoretical formulas.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 311 

2465. Oneida River at CaugMenoy, N. Y. 

~ 

Location.--Lat 43°14'45", long 76°10'15", on left bank, at point of diversion to New York Erie (Barge) Canal, 1.6 miles downstream from Oneida Lake and 2.6 miles upstream f1•om Caughdenoy, Oswego County. 

Drainage area.--1,377 sq mi. 

Recm·ds available.--September 1902 to December 1909 (published as "near Euclid"), January l~llO to December 1913, and October 1947 to September 1958 in reports of Geological 

Survey. September 1902 to December 1909 and January 1910 to September 1925 in reports oJ' State engineer and surveyor. 

~---Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 362.00 ft above mean sea level, New York Si.ate Erie (Barge) Canal bench mark. Prior to June 5, 1907, headwater readings and June 5, 1907, to Dec. 31, 1909, staff-gage readings at Oak Orchard state Dam, at dif- ferent datum. Jan. 1, 1910, to Dec. 31, 1913, staff gage at site 2.5 miles downstream a1, different datum. Oct. 9, 1947, to Nov. 7, 1951, water-stage recorder at site 2. 5 miles downstream at. different datum; since Nov. 7, 1951, used as auxiliary gage. Slnce Nov. 9, 1951, auxiliary water-stage recorder 2.6 miles downstream and 180 ft downstream from navigation dam of New York State _Erie (Barge) Canal. 

Average discharge.--21 years (1902-12, 1947-58), 2,577 cfs. 

Extre~.--Maximum daily discharge during year, 5,640 cfs Apr. 11; minimum daily, 151 cfs Jtuie 30. 1947-58: Maximum daily discharge, 9,160 cfs Apr. 7, 1950; minimum daily, 62 cfs Jt1ly 29, 1950. 

Remar:!s,.--Records excellent above and good below 1,800 cfs except those for periods of fragmentary gage-height record, which are fair. Discharge below 1,500 cfs computed by 

using gage-height record for auxiliary water-stage recorder 2.6 miles downstream. This record represents total discharge at Caughdenoy and includes flow in Oneida and Erie (Barge) Canals. A large amount of natural storage by Oneida Lake. Considerable sea- sonal regulation by operation of gates in Oneida Canal and at navigation dam. Occa- sional large diurnal fluctuations presumably caused by seiche in Oneida Lake. Water may be diverted into or received from Mohawk River basin through summit level of Erie (Earge) Canal between New London and Utica. Nearly all of flow from 16 sq mi of the T1oughnioga River basin may be diverted into DeRuyter Reservoir, in Oswego River basin. Records of chemical analyses and water temperatures for the water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571. 

Coope~. --Records of gate openings for navigation dam and gate openings, lockages, and elevations of water surface in Erie (Barge) Canal above and below lock 23 furnished b~ New York State Department of Public Works.

312 STREAMS TRIBUTI\RY TO LAKE ONTARIO 

2490. Oswego River at lock 7, Oswego, N. Y. 

Location.--Lat 43"27 1 0011 , long 76°30 1 25", on right bank at lock 7 in Oswego, Oswego County, 

three-quarters of a mile upstream from mouth. 

Drainage area .~--5 ,121 sq mi. 

Records available. --October 1900 to April 1906, October 1933 to September 1958. Monthly 

discharge only for some 11eriods, published in WSP 1307. Prior to January 1904, pub- lished as 11 above Minetto or "near Minetto." January 1904 to April 1906, published as "at Battle Island." Records for April 1897 to September 1900, published in WSP 65 and for October 1927 to September 1928 published in WSP 664, have been found to be unreli- able and should not be used. 

~.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 246.00 ft above mean sea level, New York State Oswego \Barge) Canal datum. October 1900 to April 1906, staff gage at site about 6 miles upstream at different datum. 

Average discharge.--25 years (1933-58), 6,378 cfs. 

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 19,100 cfs Apr. 23 (gage height, 9.08 ft), in- ~s mean daily discharge of canals; minimum daily, 445 cfs Nov. 3; minimum gage height, 1.15 ft Nov. 13. 1933-58: Maximum discharge, 37,500 cfs Mar. 28, 1936, includes mean daily discharge of canals; maximum gage height, 13.46 ft Apr. 10, 1940; minimum discharge (river only), 30 cfs Nov. 6, 1944; minimum daily, 353 cfs Aug. 14, 1949; minimum gage height, 0.97 ft Aug. 24, 1934. 

Remarks. --Records excellent. This record represents total dis charge at Oswego and includes ----iTciw in Hydraulic and Oswego (Barge) Canals; prior to 1933 flow in Oswego (Barge) Canals not included. A large amount of natural storage and some artificial regulation is af- forded by the many large lakes an,j the Erie (Barge) and Oswego (Barge) Canal systems in the river basin. Large diurnal fluctuations at low and medium flow by powerplants above station. Oswego River basin receives water from Erie (Barge) Canal through lock 32 near Pittsford. Water may be diverted into or received from Mohawk River basin through summit level of Erie (Barge) Canal between New London and Utica. During part of year entire flow from 45 sq mi of Mud Creek drainage area may be diverted from Chemung River basin into Lake Keuka in Oswego River basin. Nearly all of flow from 16 sq mi of the Tioughnioga River basin may be diverted into DeRuyter Reservoir, in Oswego River basin. 

Cooperation.--Records of lockages at lock 7 furnished by New York State Department of Public Works, record of elevations of Lake Ontario by Corps of Engineers, daily dis- charge records for High Dam by Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. , and those at Fulton by 

Oswego River Watershed Corp.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 6,3~0 cfs Mar. 28 (gage height, 5.46 ft); mini- mum, 202 cfs Oct. 15 ( gage height, 0. 77 ft). 1916-58: Maximum discharge, 15(800 cfs Apr. 9, 1947 (gage height, 9.26 ft); maximum gage height, 9.33 ft Apr. 9, 1947 ice Jam); minimum discharge, 130 cfs Aug. 17, 1949 

(gage height, 0.47 ft). 

Remarks. --Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Since ~. seasonal flow slightly regulated by Cranberry Lake (total capacity, 2,530,000,000 cu ft); slight diurnal fluctuation at low and medium flow caused by powerplants. During 

high stages on Grass River, part of flow of that stream may pass through Upper Lake, Indian Creek, and Lower Lake and enter Oswegatchie River at Rensselaer Falls, 41⁄2 miles above station.

330 ST. LAWRENCE RIVER MAIN STEM 

2640. St. Lawrence River at Ogdensburg, N. Y. 

~.--Lat 44°42 1 05", long 75°29 140", at Ogdensburg, N. Y. 

Drainage area.--295.200 sq mi, including that of Oswegatchie River. 

Records available. --.June 1860 to September 1958, Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1307, 

lli!ll!!.---Discharge determined from ratings of several outflow structures of Lake St. Law- rence. Prior to August 1956, basic gage at lock 25 at Iroquois, Ont., and supplementary gages located at Prescott, Ont., at lock 27 above Cardinal, Ont .. at lock 24 be- tween Iroquois and Morrisburg, Ont., and at lock 23 at Morrisburg, Ont. August 1956 to June 1958, basic gage at lock 24 and auxiliary gages located at lock 24 and below Morrisburg. These were gages of the Canadian Hydrographic Service except the supplementary gages in use after August 1956, which are gages of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. The discharge in this reach of river is considered to be same as uis,,harre at Ogdensburg, N. Y., which is directly opposite Prescott, Ont. 

Average discharge.--98 years (.June 1860 to September 1958), 241,000 cfs. 

Extremes.--Maximum daily discharge during year, 239,000 cfs Nov. 9; minimum daily, 198,000 ~eb. 23, 24, 28, Mar, 2-4. 

1917-58: Maximum daily discharge, 315,000 cfs May 13, 1952; minimum daily, 139,000 cfs Feb. 7, 1936. 

1860-1958: Maximum monthly discharge, 314,000 cfs May 1870; minimum monthly, 

154,000 cfs February 1936. 

Remarks. --Records do not include water diverted from Lake Michigan by Illinois and Michi- ~Canal during period of its operation prior to 1910 and by Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, operation of which began in 1900. They include water diverted into Lake Supe- rior from Hudson Bay drainage by the Long Lake project, operation of which began in July 

1939, and by the Ogoki project, operation of which began in July 1943. The diversions into Lake Superior amounted to less than l percent of the average St. Lawrence River discharge before July 1943, and since that time have averaged about 5,000 cfs. 

Cooperation.--Records of daily discharge furnished by U. S. Lake survey, Corps of Engi- neers, U. S. Army. 

Revisions (water years) .--WSP 1437; 1870, 1875, 1881, 1883-84, 1890. 

Note.--Discha1~ges after June 1958 are considered provisional.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 369 

As the number of streams on which streamflow information 1s likely to be desired far ex- ceeds the number of stream-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological 

Survey collects limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gaging stations. When limited streamflow data are collect:.ed on a systematic basis over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses, the site at which the data are collected is called a partial-record 

station. Data collected at these partial-record stations are usable in low-flow or flood- flow analyses, depending on the type of data collected. In addition, discharge measurements are made at other sites not included in the partial -record program. These measurements are generally made in times of drought or flood to give better areal coverage to those events. Those measurements and others collected ro·r some special reason are called measurements at miscellaneous sites. ' Records collected at partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The first is a table of discharge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations and the second a table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. Discharge measurements made at miscellaneous sites for both low flow and high flow are given in a third table. 

Low-flow partial-record stations 

Measurements of streamflow in the area covered by this report made at low-flow partial - record stations are given in the following table. Most of these measurements were made during periods of base flow when streamflow is primarily from ground-water storage. These measurements, when correlated with the simultaneous discharge of a nearby stream where con- tinuous records are available, w111 give a picture of the low-flow potentiality of stream. The column headed "Period of record11 shows the water years in which measurements were made at the same, or practically the same, site.

DISCHARGE AT PAFITIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 373 

CrE' st-stage partial -record stations 

The following table contains armual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A crest-stage gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspec- tions of the gage. A stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge measurements made by indirect 1neasurements of peak flow or by current meter. The date of the maximum discharge is not always certain but is usually •ietermined by comparison with 

nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local lnqulry. Only the maximum discharge for each water year is given. Information on some lower floods may have been obtained but is not published herein. The years given in the period of record represent water years for which the annual maximum has been determined. The maximum discharge for each year since the crest-stage gage was established is given. The peak discharge for some years may have been published in a previous report as a measurement of discharge. 

Figures given herein supersede all previous figures of peak discharge for the floods listed.

382 LOW-FLOW INVESTIGATIONS 

Low-flow investigation in Betsie River basin near Thompsonville, Mich. 

An investigation in the Betsie River basin was made on Oct. 15, 1957, for the purpose of determining the base-flow yields of various parts of the basin. The Michigan Department of Conservation, which sponsored the investigation, intends to use the data collected in planning watershed and channel improvement work in the basin, one of the main objectives 

being the improvement of habitat for trout. Results of base-flow investigations such as this are used to determine which portions of the basin are adapted to successful improve- ment work and to appraise the results of such work later on. Weather records at Thompsonville, which is located within the basin, show that there was no significant precipitation for two weeks p1°eceding Oct. 15; the measurements therefore represent base flow. 

The measurements on each stream are listed in order proceeding downstream and each trib- utary is inserted in the 01'<ie1' in which it ente1's the main stream. Drainage areas shown we1'e determined from U. 3. Geological Survey topographic maps (contour interval, 20 ft), 

dated 1956.

LOW-FLOW INVESTIGATIONS 383 

Low-flow investigation in Platte River basin near Honor, Mich. 

An investigation in the Platte River basln was made ·on Oct. 7, 1957, for the purpose of determining the base-flow yields of various parts of the basin. The Michigan Department of Conservation, which sponsored the investigation, intends to use the data collected in planning watershed and channel improvement work in the basin, one of the main objectives 

being the improvement of habitat for trout. Results of base-flow investigations such as this are used to determine which portions of the basin are adapted to successful improve- ment work and to appraise the results of such work later on. The basin is located between Thompsonville and Traverse City. The only precipitation at Thompsonville during the week preceding the date of the measurements was 0.15 in. Oct. 1. There was no precipitation at Traverse-G-ity during the week. The measurements are believed to represent base -flgw. 

The measurements on each stream are listed in order proceeding downstream. and each tributary is inserted in the order in which it enters the main streRm. Drainage areas shown were determined from U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps ( contour interval, 20 ft), dated 1956.

384 LOW-FLOW INVESTIGATIONS 

Low-flow investigation in Tobacco River basin near Clare, Mich. 

An investigation in the Tobacco River basin was made on Sept. 23, 1958, for the purpose of determining the base-flow yields of various parts of the basin. The Michigan Depart- ment of Conservation, which sponsored the investigation, intends to use the data collected in planning watershed and channel improvement work in the basin, one of the main objectives 

being the improvement of habitat for trout. Results of base-flow investigations such as this are used to determine which portions of the basin are adapted to successful improve- ment work and to appraise the results of such work later on. The basin is located in the vicinity of Harrison and Gladwin, Precipitation in the area amounted to approximately 0. 16 in. on Sept. 22. Although this amount may have influenced the quantity of runoff, its effect is believed to be minor and the measurements probably represent base flow. 

The measurements on each stream are listed in order proceeding downstream and each trib- utary is inserted in the order in which it enters the main stream. Drainage areas shown were determined from good quality U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps in the western part and Michigan State Highway county maps without contours in the eastern part.

386 RECORDS AVAILABLE ON LAKES IN INDIANA 

For several years records of the water-surface elevation of many of the lakes in Indiana have been collected by the Geological Survey under cooperative agreements with the Indiana Department of Conservation, Division of Water Resources. These records hal/e nut been published but are available in the files of the district office of the Geological 

Survey in Indianapolis, Indiana. In general, the records are based on once-daily readings of a staff gage by a local observer and consist of daily, monthly, and yearly mean water surface elevations as well as graphs sl1owing the fluctuation in elevation. Discharge meas- urements, made. at the outflow, are also available in some instances. 

The lakes for which records have been collected are listed in the following table. The established level, sometimes referred to as the legal level, is that elevation set by the courts to which the average level of the lake is to be held; it is normally set at about the average level that has prevailed for a number of years prior to the establishment of the level.
