Plate 1. Typical river-measurement stations.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF OHIO RIVER BASIN, 1938

SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measurements of stage 

and flow made 01, streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the water year 

ending September 30, 1938. The work was begun In 1888 In connection with special studies 

relating to Irrigation. Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 7,800 points 

In the United States and also at many points in Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. In July 

1938, 3,830 gaging stations were blng maintained by the Geological Survey and cooperating 

organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at other points.

In the execution of the work many State and private organizations have cooperated, 

either by furnishing data or by assisting in collecting data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the first kind are made In connection with the description of each station 

affected; cooperation of the second kind Is acknowledged on page 9.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The units In which stream-flow data are presented in this report and other ten's used 

herein are defined as follows:

"Second-feet" is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A second-foot is the 

rate of discharge of water flowing In a channel when the cross-sectional area is 1 square 

foot and the average velocity is 1 foot per second.

"Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per 

second from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Run-off in Inches" is the depth to which an area would be covered If all the water 

flowing from it in a given period were uniformly distributed on Its surface. It is used 

for comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed In inches.

An "acre-foot", equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, Is the quantity of water required to 

cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term is commonly used" in connection with storage for irrigation.

"Second-foot-day" Is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot for 24 

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

represents a run-off of 0.0372 Inches from one square mile.

"Stage-discharge relation" Is an abbreviation for the term "relation of gage height to 

discharge."

"Control" Is a term used to designate the natural section or reach of the chanrel or 

artificial structure below the gage which determines the stage-discharge relation at the

EXPLANATION OF DATA

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

of discharge, and general Information used to supplement .the gage heights and discharge

2 EXPLANATION OF DATA

measurements 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 the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current 

meter by the general methods outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of river 

discharge. Typical gaging stations, equipped with water-stage recorder and measuring 

cable and car, are shown on plate 1.

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

measurements. The application of the daily gage height to these rating tables gives the 

daily discharge, from which the monthly and yearly mean discharge are commuted.

The data presented for each gaging station in the area covered by this report usually 

comprise a description of the station, a table showing the dally dlscharg3 of the stream, 

and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off. Skeleton rating tables are published except for those stations whose daily discharge for the greater part of the year 

was determined by the shifting-control method, the slope method, or other special methods.

The description of the station gives the type of gage, its latitude and longitude determined from the best available maps, and information In regard to diversions that 

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation from pondage or storage, and the 

accuracy of the records. Under "Average discharge" is given the average discharge for 

the number of years indicated. It is given only for stations for which t'lere are 10 or 

more complete years of record. Information under "Extremes" gives the maximum discharge 

and gage height; the minimum discharge if there is little or no regulation; the minimum 

daily discharge if there is extensive regulation, and also the minimum discharge If useful; and the minimum gage height except when it is of no importance. Unless otherwise 

qualified, the maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage, obtained by use of a 

water-stage recorder or a nonrecording gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the 

minimum represents the lowest discharge, unless otherwise qualified. The peak discharge 

for the year with the time of its occurrence is given below the table of monthly discharge 

for some stations. Selected lower peaks are also given if the peak discharge exceeded the 

mean discharge for that day by more than 10 percent. This supplementary Information is 

generally not given for stations having drainage areas of less than 10 square miles or 

more than 10,000 square miles.

The table of daily discharge gives, for stations equipped with nonrecording gages, the 

discharge in second-feet corresponding to once-daily or the mean of twice-daily readings 

of the gage. For flashy floods the mean daily discharge is determined from gage-height 

graphs based on gage readings made once or twice daily or oftener, as stated in the station description. For stations equipped with water-stage recorders the table gives the 

discharge corresponding to the mean dally gage height except for stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation. For stations subject to such fluctuation the mean 

daily gage height may not indicate the true mean dally discharge, which nnst be obtained 

by averaging the discharge for intervals of the- day or by using the discharge integrator, 

an instrument for obtaining the mean daily discharge from a continuous ga^e-height graph 

and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the station.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Second-foot-days" gives the sum 

for each month of the figures for that month given In the table of daily discharge. The 

column headed "Maximum" gives the maximum daily discharge and not the discharge when the 

water surface was at crest height. Likewise, in the column headed "Minimum" the quantity

given is the minimum daily discharge. The column headed "Mean" is the average flew in 

cubic feet per second during the month.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (I) on the permanency of the stagedischarge relation and (2) on the accuracy of observation cf stage, measurements of flow, 

and interpretation of records.

The station description gives a statement in regard to the general accuracy of the 

records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the daily records are accurate within 

5 percent; "good", within 10 percent; "fair", within 15 percent; and "poor", wittin 20 

percent or more,

The monthly means for any station may represent with high accuracy the quantity of 

water flowing p&at the gage, but the figures showing discharge per square mile and depth 

in inches may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontrlbuting 

districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information concerning water diverted 

for irrigation or other use, or by inability to interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of the river above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and 

"run-off in inches" are therefore not computed if such errors appear probable. TVe computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining areas in which the anrual 

rainfall is less than 20 inches.

Manj gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, so that the discharge recorded does 

not show the water supply available for further development, as prior appropriaticns below 

the station must first be satisfied.

The table of monthly discharge gives a general idea of the flow at the station. Ths 

table of daily discharge allows more detailed studies of the variation in flow. It should 

be borne in mind, however, that the observations in each succeeding year may be expected 

to throw new light on data previously published, and that greater degrees of retirement in 

computations and records may be warranted with increased data and use of improved 

equipment.

Note.- The reports that contain records after 1901 are given in the table on page 6.

The table on the following page gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of 

the papers on surface water supply published from 1899 to 1938. The data for an;r particular station will, in general, be found in the reports covering the years during which 

the station was maintained. For example, the data from 1910 to 19SO for any station in 

the area covered by part 3 are published in Water-Supply papers 283, 303, 323, 355, 403, 

433, 453, 473, and 503, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports extend over a series of 

years. Miscellaneous measurements at many points other than regular gaging stations have 

been made each year and are published un "Miscellaneous discharge measurements" at the 

end of each report, the streams and points of measurement listed appearing in the same 

relative order as the streams and gaging stations in the body of the report. An index of 

the records obtained prior to 1904 has been published in Water-Supply Paper 119.

reports or tr. 'S. Geological Survey; October 1909 to September 1938 Ir reports of 

Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters.

Average discharge.- 25 years (1910-14, 1915-16, 1918-38), 894 second-feet.

TSxtrernes.- Maximum discharge during year. 17.600 second-feet Dec. 18 (gage height, 11.6 

feet, from graph based on gage readings),'from rating curve extended above 9,000 

second-feet on"basis of slope-area discharge measurement; minimum discharge observed, 

37 second-feet Sept. 10 (gage height, 0.18 foot). 1909-38: Maximum discharge. 35,200 second-feet Mar. 18, 1936 (gage height, 18.60 

feet, from floodmarks), by slope-area determination; minimum discharge observed, 10 

second-feet Aug. 9, 1910. Remarks.- Records fair. Discharge for day of doubtJul gage-height record, Nov. 6, 

computed on basis of records for stations in adjacent drainage basins. Discharge 

for periods of ice effect, Dec. 7-15, Jan. 11-21, computed on basis of gage heights, 

weather records, one discharge measurement, and records for stations In adjacent 

drainage basins. Gage read twice daily. Some regulation at low stages due to operations of power plants upstream.

ALLEGHENY RIVER TRIBUTARIES 

Mahoning Creek near Dayton, Pa.

35

Location.- Chain gage, lat. 40°54I 05H , long. 79°13'35'1 , at Independence Bridge, threequarters of a mile upstream from Foundry Run and U miles northeast of Dayton, 

Armstrong County. Zero of gage Is 1,095.24 feet above mean sea level (adjustment of 

1907).

Drainage area.- 321 square miles.

Recoraa available.- October 1920 Co September 1921 and October 1931 to September 1938 In 

reports of U. S. Geological Survey; August 1916 to September 1938 In reports of 

Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters.

Average discharge.- 18 years (1920-33), 566 second-feet.

TStremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 8,970 second-feet Dec. 18 (gage height, 8.6

 feet, from graph based on gage readings); minimum discharge observed, S3 secord-feet 

Sept. 30 (gage height, 1.67 feet).

1916-38: Maximum discharge otserved, 22,800 second-feet Mar. 18, 1336 (gage 

height, 14.53 feet), by slope-area method; minimum discharge observed, 8.0 secondfeet Oct. 17, 1928 (gage height, 3.40 feet).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, Dec. 3-16, Jan. 11-24,

 computed on basis of gage heights, weather records, one discharge measurement, and 

records for stations in adjacent drainage basins and are fair. Gage read twice 

dally. Slight regulation at low stages due to operations of power plants upstream.

Hating table, water year 1937-38 except periods of ice effect (gage height, in feet, and

discharge, in second-feet)

40 ALLEGHENY RIVER TRIBUTARIES

Blackllck Creek at Blackllck, Pa.

Location.- Chain gage, lat. 40°28'25", long. 79°12'15", at highway bridge at Gratton, a 

quarter of a mile northwest of Blackllck:, Indiana County, and chree-quarters of a 

mile downstream from Two Lick Creek. Zero of gage is 945.94 feet above mean sea 

level (Pennsylvania State highway bench mark).

Drainage area.- 390 square miles.

Recorgs available.- August 1904 to September 1913, October 1918 to September 1921, and 

October 1931 to September 1938 in reports of U. S. Geological Survey; August 1904 to 

December 1905 and January 1907 to September 1938 in rsports of Pennsylvania Department 

of Forests and Waters.

Average discharge.- 31 years (1907-38), 677 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 15,300 second-feet Dec. 18 (gage height, 10.3 

feet, from graph based on gage readings), from rating curve extended above 5,000 

second-feet on basis of slope-area measurement; minimum discharge observed, 24 secondfeet Aug. 27 (gage height, 2.54 feet); minimum daily discharge, 27 second-feet Aug. 

£3, 27.

1904-38: Maximum discharge, 51,700 second-feet Mar. 18, 1936 (gage height, 15.88 

feet, from floodmark), by slope-area method; minimum discharge observed, 6 secondfeet Sept. 12, 16-27, 1908 (gage height, 1.88 feet).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of missing gage record, Oct. 2, Jan. 26, 

Apr. 8-13 (computed on basis of records for stations in adjacent drainage basins), 

and those for periods of ice effect, Nov. 23-25, Dec. 8-16, Jan. 10-21 (computed on 

basis of gage heights, weather records, one discharge measurement, and records for 

stations In adjacent drainage basins), which are fair. Gage read twice daily. Some 

regulation at low stages due to operations of power plants upstream.

ALLEGHENY RIVER TRIBUTARIES 41

Loyalhanr.a Creek at New Alexandria, Pa.

Location.- Wire-weight gage, lat. 40°2S'40", long. 79°25'55", at highway bridge at New 

Alexandria, Westmoreland County, IJ miles downstream from Crabtree Creek. Cero of 

gage is 917.26 feet above mean sea level (general adjustment of 19IE).

Drainage area.- 265 square miles.

Records available.- October 1919 to September 1921 and October 1931 to September 1938 in

 reports of U. 13. Geological Survey. August 1913 to July 1923 and November 19E5 to 

September 1938 in reports of Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters.

Average discharge.- 15 years (1919-22, 1926-33), 453 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 6,500 second-feet Oct. 23 (gage height, 9.8

feet, from graph based on gage readings); minimum, 10 second-feet Sept. 5 (gage height, 

1.92 feet); minimum daily, 17 second-feet Oct. 3.

1913-23, 1925-38: Maximum discharge, 31,000 second-feet Mar. 18, 1936 (gage height, 

20.96 feet, from floodmark), from rating curve extended above 3,100 second-feet on 

basis of determinations of peak flow by slope-area and contracted-opening methods; 

minimum, 2.4 second-feet Oct. 3, 1927 (gage height, 1.46 feet).

Remarks.- Records fair. Discharge for period of ice effect, Dec. 8-16, computed on basis

 of one discharge measurement, gage heights, weather records, and records for stations 

in nearby drainage basins. Gage read twice daily. Some regulation at low stages owing to operation of power plant upstream.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 18,300 second-feet Apr. 9 (ga.ge height, 18.72

 feet); minimum, 57 second-feet Oct. 3 (gage height, 1.63 feet).

1915-38: Maximum discharge, 160,OuO second-feet Mar. 23, 1929 (gage height, 69.0 

feet, at former site from floodmarks), from curve extended above 32,000 second-feet on 

basis of velocity-area studies; minimum, 13 second-feet Sept. 3, 19E5, Oct. 5, 6, 1936; 

minimum gage height, 1.37 feet Oct. 5, 6, 1936.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those above 40,000 second-feet, which are good. Discharge for period when recorder was not operating, Aug. 7-16, computed on basis of 

records for Cumberland River at Cumberland Falls and Burnside. Operation of small 

power plant above gage may affect flow at extremely low water.

of gage Is 1,976.58 feet above mean sea level (Southeastern supplementary adjustment of 

1936).

Drainage area.- 130 square miles.

gecoras available.- December 1920 to September 1926, May 1934 to September 1938.

axtremes.- raximum discharge during year* 1,780 second-feet Oct. 19 (gage height, 4,95 

reet;; minimum, 7 second-feet May 13 (gage height, 1.02 feet); mlnlmun dally discharge, 

16 second-feet May 13.

1920-26, 1934-38: Maximum discharge, 4,690 second-feet May 29, 1923 (gage height, 

8.2 feet); minimum, that of May 13, 1938; minimum gage height, 0.82 foot Aug. 31, 1925; 

minimum dally discharge, 11 second-feet July 17, 1936.

Maximum stage known, 21.2 feet In July 1916, from floodmarks (discharge not determined!) .)

Flood of Aug. 16, 1928 reached a stage of 18.74 feet, from floodmarks (discharge not 

determined). Extremely high stages subject to backwater from French Broad River.

Remarks.- Records good except those for days of Ice effect and periods of missing gage 

neignts, which are fair. Slight diurnal fluctuation caused by operation of power plant 

at Ashevllle recreation park 3 miles upstream. Occasional large diurnal fluctuation 

owing to small storage In Lake Cralg, in recreation park. City of Asheville diverts 

Its water supply above -this station from Beetree Reservoir (capacity, 700,000,000 gallons), and from North Fork of Swannanoa River. (See records for North Fork of Swannanoa 

River near Black Mountain, N. C.). Adjusted record computed on basis of records of 

diversion, storage, and evaporation furnished by Ashevllle Water Department, Division

site 700 feet downstream), and June 1934 to September 1338 in reports of U. S. 

Geological Survey. April 1912 to December 1924, including estimated discharge for 

December 1917 to January 1921, in North Carolina Department of Corservatlon and Development Bulletin 34.

Average discharge.- 26 years (1912-38), 535 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 4,630 second-feet July 23 (gage height, 6.57 

feet); minimum, 147 second-feet Dec. 7 (gage height, 0.94 foot).

1912-17, 1921-38: Maximum discharge, probably crest of flood K?,r. 4, 1917 (record 

of crest stage not available; mean daily discharge, 15,200 second-feet, from rating 

curve extended above 6,000 second-feet); minimum, 79 second-feet Sept. 20-22, 1925 

(gage height, 0.54 foot), former site and datum.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, Nov. 22-24, Dec. 7-12, 

Jan. 27-29, which were computed on basis of gage heights, one discharge measurement, 

weather records, and records for Little Tennessee River at lotla and Judson and are 

fair. Slight diurnal fluctuation caused by operation of mills upstream.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those above 300 second-feet, which are good, those for 

days of Ice effect, Dec. 6, 7, 10, 11 (computed on basis of gage heights and weather 

records), and those for period of missing gage height, Aug. 3-9 (computed on basis of 

records for stations on Brush Creek near Ducktown and Potato Cre'ek near Ducktown), 

which are fair. Operation of gristmills causes slight diurnal fluctuation at low 

water.
