SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF LOWER COLUMBIA RIYER 

AND PACIFIC DRAINAGE BASINS IN OREGON, 1914.

AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK.

This volume is one of a series of fourteen reports presenting results 

of measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1914.

The data presented in these reports were collected by the United 

States Geological Survey under the following authority contained in 

the organic law (20 Stat, L., p. 394):

Provided, That this officer [th Director] shall have the direction of the Geological 

Survey and the classification of public lands and examination of the geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain.

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation in the arid West. Since the fiscal year ending 

June 30, 1895, successive sundry bills passed by Congress have carried the following item and appropriations:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United States, and 

for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, and for the preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water resources.

Annual appropriations for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1895-1915.

In the execution of the work many private and State organizations 

have cooperated,, either by furnishing 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 13.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 3,400 points 

in the United States and also at many points in Alaska and the 

Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1914, 1,480 gaging stations were being

7

maintained by the Survey and the cooperating organizations. Many 

miscellaneous discharge measurements are made at other points» 

In connection with this work data were also collected in regard to 

precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, .river profiles, and 

water power in many sections of the country and will be made available in water-supply papers from time to time.

DEFINITION OF TERMS.

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "run-off" or "discharge" is expressed in various terms, each of which has become 

associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided 

into two groups (1) those that represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and discharge in second-feefc 

per square mile, and (2) those that represent the actual quantity of 

water, as run-off in depth of inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic 

feet. The principal terms used in this series of reports are secondfeet, second-feet per square mile, run-off in inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic feet. They may be defined as follows:

"Second-feet" is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second. 7 ' A 

second-foot is the rate of discharge of water flowing in a channel of 

rectangular cross section 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep at an average 

velocity of 1 foot per second. It is generally used #s a fundamental 

unit from which others are computed by the use of the factors given 

in the tables of convenient equivalents (p. 9).

"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 (depth in niches)" 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 the surface. It is used for comparing run-off 

with rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth of inches.

An "acre-foot," equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, is the quantity 

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

"Millions of cubic feet" is applied to quantities of water stored in 

reservoirs, most frequently in connection with studies of flood control.

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

"Discharge relation," an abbreviation for the term "relation of 

gage height to discharge."

"Control," "controlling section," and "point of control," terms 

used to designate the section or sections of the stream below the gage 

which determine the discharge relation at the gage. It should be 

noted that the control may not be the same section or sections at all 

stages.
CONVENIENT EQUIVALENTS. 9

The "point of zero flow" for a given gaging station is that point 

on the gage the gage height to which the surface of the river 

would fall if there were no flow.

CONVENIENT EQUIVALENTS.

The following is a list of convenient equivalents for use in hydraulic 

computations:

1, 1913, and ending September 30, 1914. At the first of January 

in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in the 

preceding three months is stored as ground water, in the form of 

snow or ice, or in ponds, lakes, and swamps, and this stored water 

passes off in the streams during the spring break-up; at the end of 

September, on the other hand, the only stored water available for 

run-off is possibly a small quantity in the ground; therefore the runoff for the year beginning October 1 is practically all derived from 

precipitation within that year.

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 measurements in determining 

the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct 

readings on a staff 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. (See Pis. 

I and II.)

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

give the discharge for any stage, and these rating tables, when applied 

to the gage heights, give the daily discharge from which the monthly 

and yearly mean discharge is determined.
12 SUEFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1&14, PAET XII C.

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

this report comprises a description of the station, a table giving 

results of discharge measurements, a table showing the daily discharge of the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge 

and run-off.

If the base data are insufficient to determine the daily discharge, 

tables giving daily gage heights and results of discharge measurements 

are published.

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements regarding location and equipment, information in regard to any conditions that may affect the permanency of the discharge relation, 

covering such subjects as the occurrence of ice, the use of the stream 

for log driving, shifting of control, and the cause and effect of backwater; it gives also information as to diversions that decrease the 

flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and minimum recorded stages, and the accuracy of the records.

The table of daily discharge gives the discharge in second-feet corresponding to the mean of the gage heights read each day. At stations 

on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal fluctuation the discharge obtained from the rating table and the mean daily gage height 

may not be the true mean discharge for the day. If such stations are 

equipped with water-stage recorders the true mean daily discharge 

may be obtained by weighting discharge for parts of the day.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Maximum" 

gives the mean flow, for the day when the mean gage height was 

highest. As the gage height is the mean for the day, it does not 

indicate correctly the stage when the water surface was at crest 

height and the corresponding discharge was consequently larger than 

given in the maximum column. Likewise, in the column headed 

"Minimum" the quantity given is the mean flow for the day when 

the mean gage height was lowest. The column headed "Mean " is the 

average flow in cubic feet for each second during the month. On 

this average flow computations recorded in the remaining columns, 

which are defined on page 3, are based.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS.

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the 

permanency of the discharge relation and (2) on the accuracy of 

observation of stage, measurements of flow, and interpretation of 

records. .,

Footnotes added to the daily discharge tables give information 

regarding the probable accuracy of the rating tables used, and an 

accuracy column is inserted in the monthly discharge table. For 

the rating tables, "well denned" indicates, in general, that the 

rating is probably accurate within 5 per cent; "fairly well denned,"
COOPERATION. 13

within 10 per cent; ''poorly denned" or "approximate," within 15 

to 25 per cent. These notes are very general and are based on the 

plotting of the individual measurements with reference to the mean 

rating curve.

The letter in the column headed "Accuracy," in the monthly discharge table, rates the accuracy of the monthly mean and not that 

of the estimate of maximum or minimum discharge or the discharge 

for any one day. The rating is determined by considering the accuracy of the rating curve, the probable reliability of the observer, 

the number of gage readings per day, the range of the fluctuation in 

stage, and local conditions. In this column A indicates that the 

mean monthly flow is probably accurate within 5 per cent; B, within 

10 per cent; C, within 15 per cent; D, within 25 per cent. Special 

conditions are covered by footnotes.

The monthly means for any station may represent with high 

accuracy the quantity of water flowing past the gage, but the figures 

showing discharge per square mile and depth of run-off in inches 

may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion ol large noncontributing 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 (depth in inches)" are therefore not computed if 

such errors appear probable. The computations are also omitted 

for stations on streams draining areas in which the annual rainfall 

is less than 20 inches. All figures representing "second-feet per 

square mile" and "run-off (depth in inches)" previously published 

by the Survey should be used with caution because of possible 

inherent sources of error not known to the Survey.

The table of monthly discharge gives only a general idea of the 

flow at the station and should not be used for other than preliminary 

estimates; the tables of daily discharge allow 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.

COOPERATION.

During the year ending September 30, 1914, the work in Oregon 

and Washington has been done under cooperative agreements 

between the United States Geological Survey and the respective 

States.

Cooperation with the States is effected under contracts which are 

made between the Director of the Federal Survey and the State 

engineers or other officials and are authorized by legislative acts
14 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1914, PART XII C.

appropriating moneys. The State contracts are essentially of the 

same order, the principal provisions being substantially as follows:

1. The United States Geological Survey retains direct supervision 

of the field work and the preparation of the data for publication.

2. The Federal Survey retains possession of all material collected 

field notes, maps, etc. but this material is open at all times to 

inspection by the State officials, and if not satisfactory the agreements can be terminated at any time.

3. The salaries of gage observers and the salaries and traveling and 

field expenses of the engineers are divided between the two parties in 

some manner agreed upon, the accounts being rendered monthly in 

accordance with the regulations of the Federal Survey.

4. The streams and localities in which investigations shall be made 

are determined by conference between the State officials and the 

representatives of the United States Geological Survey.

5. The cost of publication is borne entirely by the Federal Survey.

In general, the cooperative agreements specify that the United 

States Geological Survey shall allot from its appropriation a sum 

equal to that appropriated from State funds.

Special acknowledgments are due to John H. Lewis, State engineer 

of Oregon, and to Henry Landes, State geologist of Washington, for 

the very efficient manner in which they represented their States in 

the cooperative investigations.

Acknowledgments are also due to the engineers and employees of the 

United States Reclamation Service, the United States Forest Service, 

and of the United States Office of Indian Affairs for assistance, suggestions, and the freest use of data gathered exclusively for them 

and for which they have paid. Acknowledgments are alscf due to the 

Corps of Engineers, United States Army, and the officers of the 

United States Weather Bureau for hydrographic and climatologic 

data.

MILL CREEK NEAR WALLA WALLA, WASH.

LOCATION. In sec. 12, T. 6 N., R. 37 E. Willamette meridian, below the diversion 

dajn of the Walla Walla water-supply system and 12 miles east of Walla Walla, 

in Walla Walla County.

DRAINAGE AREA. Not measured.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 27, 1913, to September 30, 1914. *

GAGE. Since October 22,1913, vertical staff on left bank, reading from 0.5 to 7.0 feet, 

spiked to roots and overhanging limbs of a cottonwood tree 500 feet below the 

diversion dam of the Walla Walla water-supply system. A temporary gage at the 

same site and datum was read prior to October 22, 1913. Gage read to nearest 

quarter-tenth of a foot twice a day by Otto Zimmerman, head-works attendant 

for the Walla Walla waterworks.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from footbridge 50 feet above gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Banks high and will not overflow. Control consists of a 

long gravel and boulder riffle, which is fairly permanent, extending above and 

below gage. Zero flow would occtir at approximately zero of gage.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. 1913-14: Maximum stage recorded, 2.6 feet at 3 p. m. 

February 27,1914 (discharge 443 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.80 foot 

August 27-September 21, September 23-28, and October 1-3, 1913 (discharge, 29 

second-feet).

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice; open-channel rating 

curve assumed applicable except for February 6, when discharge was interpolated.

DIVERSIONS. The city of Walla Walla diverts 22 to 28 second-feet past the gage for 

public water supply.

REGULATION. Gates at intake of water-supply conduit are closed at infrequent intervals for cleaning settling basin.

ACCURACY. Gage-height record considered reliable. Rating curve well defined above 

and fair below 75 second-feet.

LOWER COLUMBIA EIVER AND TRIBUTARIES. 45

DESCHUTES RIVER AT MOODY, NEAR BIGGS, OREG.

LOCATION. In the SE. J sec. 26, T. 2 N., R. 15 E., opposite Moody railroad fetation, 

1J miles above bridge of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co., 

about 5 miles southwest of Biggs, Oreg., and 1J miles above mouth of the river.

DRAINAGE AREA. About 9,180 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. July 7, 1906, to September 30, 1914; October 19, 1897, to 

December 31, 1899, for a station near Moro, 10 miles above mouth of river, in 

NE. 1 sec. 5, T. 1 S., R. 16 E. Records for 1908 and 1910 somewhat fragmentary.

GAGE. Staff in two sections, the lower inclined, the upper vertical. At the Moro 

station gage was an inclined staff.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable about 450 feet above gage. At Moro 

station made from the "free bridge" 3 miles below gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Rock and gravel; shifting only in floods.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 4.1 feet in afternoon January 22 (discharge, 11,800 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 2.1 

feet August 23 to September 11 (discharge, 4,300 second-feet).

DIVERSIONS. Summer discharge at this station has been progressively reduced since 

about 1904 or 1905 by diversions from the upper river. Some of this water returns, 

but the net reduction during midsummer is now probably 15 to 20 per cent.

ACCURACY. Results good.

No discharge measurements made during the year.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Deschutes River at Moody, near Biggs, Oreg, for the year

ending Sept. SO, 1914.

TUMALO CREEK NEAR BEND, OREG.

LOCATION. In the SE. J sec. 23, T. 17 S., R. 11 E., one-fourth mile above the diversion dam of the feed canal of the Tumalo project, half a mile below highway 

bridge on Bend-Sisters road, 4 miles above mouth, and 4 miles northwest of Bend.

DRAINAGE AREA. 57 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 6, 1906, to September 30,1914 (fragmentary). Until 

May, 1914, this station was maintained in winter months only to insure a yearlong record on the stream. The upper station is somewhat isolated and sometimes inaccessible in winter.

GAGE. Vertical staff nailed to overhanging stump, since November, 1910; previous 

records at different site.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. At ordinary stages made by wading near the gage; 

at flood stages, from a large tree fallen across stream about 200 yards below gage.
LOWEE COLUMBIA EIVEE AND TEIBTTTAEIES. 65

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Rocks and gravel; not liable to shift greatly.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 2.70 feet at 5 p. m. 

April 15 (discharge, 415 second-feet; total, including diversions, 461 second-feet); 

minimum stage recorded, 0.50 foot at 9 a. m. November 20 (discharge, 4 secondfeet; total, including diversions, 55 second-feet). This minimum is very uncertain and is not confirmed by records at the station above the Wimer canal. 

A more probable minimum for the year, including diversions, is 60 second feet, 

September 13.

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation considerably affected by ice during extremely 

cold weather.

ACCURACY. Results good.

SQUAW CREEK NEAR SISTERS, OREG.

LOCATON. In the NW. £ sec. 31, T. 15 S., E. 10 E., about 4 miles above Sisters and 

above all diversions.

DRAINAGE AREA. 63 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 30 to December 31, 1913, and April 7 to September 13, 

1914, when station was discontinued; July 1, 1906, to May 29, 1913, in sec. 30, at 

station below the intake of McAllister's ditch, about 700 feet farther downstream.

GAGE. Vertical staff.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a foot log below intake of McAllister's ditch 

and the flow of the ditch added, or by wading.

CHANNEL. Gravel and rock; practically permanent.

EXTREMES OP STAGE. Maximum stage recorded, 2.75 feet June 18 and July 7 (discharge, 288 second-feet, but may have been greater during night); minimum 

stage recorded, 1.80 feet September 13 (discharge, 47 second-feet.) This was 

probably not the minimum for the year.

DIVERSIONS. No diversions above the station. Low-water flow entirely diverted 

below the station.

COOPERATION. Gage-height record beginning April 7 furnished by the water master 

of Crook County.

ACCURACY. Results are good. Estimates during high water may be somewhat in 

error on account of fluctuations due to melting snow.

The following measurement was made by P. V. Hodges: 

April 11, gage height, 1.98 feet; discharge, 75 second-feet.

Daily discharge, in second feet, of Squaw Creek near Sisters, Oreg., for the year ending

Sept. 30, 1914.

WHITE RIVER NEAR TYGH VALLEY, OREG.

LOCATION. In the SW. £ sec. 10, T. 4 S., R. 13 E., 1 mile south of Tygh Valley, 1 

mile above mouth of Tygh Creek, and 4 miles above the White River Falls plant 

of Pacific Power & Light Co.

DRAINAGE AREA. Not measured.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. June 18, 1911, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Vertical staff on lower corner of left pier of highway bridge.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from lower side of highway bridge.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Gravel and sand; slightly shifting; White River carries a 

heavy load of glacial sediment at times.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 2.30 feet at 8 a. m. 

January 22 (discharge, 1.040 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.42 feet 

September 4-8 (discharge, 130 second-feet).

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation at times affected by ice; ice jams occasionally form 

during extremely cold weather.

DIVERSIONS. Probably no diversion from White River above station, although diversion of water for irrigation of lands south of lower White River is probably feasible.

ACCURACY. Results excellent.

HOOD RIVER AT DEE, OREG.

LOCATION. In the NW. i sec. 7, T. 1 N., R. 10 E., 400 feet below mill dam and 300 

feet above highway bridge in Dee.

DRAINAGE AREA. Not measured.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 21 to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Vertical staff on left bank.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable about 600 feet below gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Rock and boulders; probably permanent.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 6.3 feet at 5 p. m. 

January 4 (discharge, 1,290 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 4.QO feet at 6 

p. m. August 28 (discharge, 60 second-feet).

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation unaffected by ice.

DIVERSIONS. Several small ditches divert water for irrigation above station. The 

East Fork irrigation district canal diverts water through a divide to lands outside the drainage area.

REGULATION.The flow is quite irregular, especially during low water, owing to 

changes in load on power plant at mill of Oregon Lumber Co. just above gage.

ACCURACY. Records good except for extremely low water, for which they are poor.

LOWEE COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES. 93

PACIFIC POWER & LIGHT CO.'S TAILRACE NEAE HOOD RIVER, OEEG.

LOCATION. In the SE. J sec. 36, T. 3 N., R. 10 E., just below power house, opposite 

gage on Hood River.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 1, 1913, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Vertical staff. '

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from footbridge.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Excavated in solid ground; probably permanent.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum recorded discharge, 110 second-feet, February 20; minimum recorded discharge, 15 second-feet at various times throughout year.

ACCURACY. Results good since August 27, 1914, when the gage was established, as 

readings have been made four times a day. Discharge prior to that date have 

been computed from the electrical output of the plant as reported by the operator. 

The relation between output and discharge can be determined only approximately, but the discharge for the tailrace thus determined is better than a flat 

estimate.

Discharge measurements of Pacific Power & Light Co.'s tailrace near Hood River, Oreg., 

for the years ending Sept. SO, 1913 and 1914.

NOTE. Discharge determined from a rating curve well defined between 150 and 800 second-feet except 

May 10-13, and May 23-June 28, 1913, which was determined from gage readings below the dam and two 

fairly well defined rating curves applicable May 10 to June 3 and June 4 to June 28. Water over top of 

gage Nov. 13-15,1912, May 10-13,1913, and Jan. 6-8,1914; discharge estimated from White Salmon River 

at Husum. Discharge interpolated owing to lack of gage reading Jan. 7 and 8,1913.

COWLITZ RIVER BASIN. 

OHANAPECOSH RIVER NEAR LEWIS, WASH.

LOCATION. In sec. 29, T. 14 N., R. 10 E. Willamette meridian, above Clear Fork 

and 7 miles northeast of Lewis, in Lewis County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 116 square miles (measured on Plate I, Water-Supply Paper 313).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 19, 1907, to January 12, 1913; April 14, 1913, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Vertical staff spiked to an overhanging tree on left bank, 900 feet above 

Clear Fork; read to hundredths once each day, for which record is published 

during the year ending September 30, 1914, by Chas. L. Hall, October 1 to November 28, by E. H. Frank, November 30 to March 31, and by J. L. Jennings, 

April 3 to September 30. Levels run September 9, 1913, showed gage to be 

0.06 foot too low; change probably due to settling; as date of settling is uncertain previously published gage heights have not been corrected. Gage washed 

out January 5 and reset by observer January 13, 1914.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable 30 feet below gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Composed of gravel and small bowlders which shift at high 

stages; one channel at all stages; banks do not overflow. Zero flow will occur 

at about gage height 0.5 foot, as determined October 3, 1914.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 8.0 feet (estimated 

by observer) at 11.35 a. m. January 5 (discharge 5,480 second-feet); minimum 

stage recorded, 0.49 foot at 11 a, m. October 5 (discharge 98 second-feet); 1907- 

1914: Maximum stage recorded, water over gage (0 to 8.0 feet) November 23, 

1909 (estimated discharge 7,500 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.2 foot 

September 26 and October 6, 1908 (discharge not determined).
138 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1914, PART XII C.

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice; open-channel rating

curve assumed applicable. 

DIVERSIONS. None. 

RE GULATION . None. 

ACCURACY. Gage-height record reliable; rating curve fairly well defined below 900

second-feet. Considerable diurnal fluctuation March to June. Results fair

below and approximate above 1,000 second-feet.

The following discharge measurement was made by I. L. Collier: 

June 14, 1914, gage height, 2.61 feet; discharge, 964 second-feet.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Ohanapecosh River near Lewis, Wash., for the year

ending Sept. SO, 1914.

COWLITZ .RIVER AT LEWIS, WASS.

LOCATION. In sec. 15, T. 13 N., R. 9 E. Willamette meridian, at Lewis ferry, about 1 

mile northeast of Lewis, 1J miles below Lake Creek, in Lewis County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 275 miles (measured on Plate I, Water-Supply Paper 313).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. July 1, 1911, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Original gage installed by the Valley Development Co., on left bank 150 feet 

below Lewis ferry, August 15, 1907; data prior to July I, 1911, insufficient for 

. estimates of discharge. Gage washed out November 20, 1911, but was replaced 

at same location and approximately the same datum November 27,1911. During 

the year ending September 30, 1914, gage read to hundredths twice each day for 

which record is published October 1 to April 16, and once each day thereafter; 

by Chas. L. Hall, October 1 to November 28; by E. H. Frank, November 30 to 

March 31; by J. L. Jennings, April 3 to September 30. Datum of gage heights 

for year ending September 30, 1913, is 0.07 foot lower than correct datum because gage heights for that year were not corrected.
COWLITZ RIVER BASIN. 139

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable at the gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed of stream composed of gravel and sand; likely to shift; 

right bank may overflow at extreme high stages; control is a gravel and bowlder 

riffle 300 feet below gage. According to determination October 2, 1914, zero flow 

would occur at gage height -0.2 foot, ±0.2.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 7.0 feet at 2.15 

p. m. January 5 (discharge, 13,100 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.93 

foot at 8.50 a. m. and 1 p. m. October 5 (discharge, 378 second-feet).

1911-1914: Maximum stage recorded, 7.35 feet November 19, 1911 (discharge 

not computed; gage washed out on following day); minimum stage recorded, 0.95 

foot October 30 to November 3, 1911 (discharge, 285'second-feet).

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation not affected by ice.

DIVERSIONS. None.

REGULATION. No ne.

ACCURACY. Gage-height record reliable; rating curve fairly well defined below 2,000 

second-feet. Considerable diurnal fluctuation March to June. Results fair 

below and approximate above 2,000 second-feet.

The following discharge measurement was made by I. L. Collier: 

June 11, 1914, gage height, 2.07 feet; discharge, 1,350 second-feet.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Cowlitz River at Lewis, Wash., for the year ending

Sept. SO, 1914.

COWLITZ RIVER AT MOSSY ROCK, WASH.

LOCATION. In sec. 1, T. 12 N., R. 2 E., at county highway bridge 1 mile north of

Mossy Rock, 2£ miles above Tilton River, in Lewis County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 1,170 square miles (measured on PI. I, Water-Supply Paper 313). 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. January 1, 1912, to September 30, 1914 (fragmentary).
140 SURFACE ' WATEE SUPPLY, 1914, PART XII C.

GAGE. Since September 18, 1913, vertical staff on left bank, in 3 sections, 0 to 39 

feet; read once a day to nearest tenth of a foot by George W. Jerrells. From January 1, 1912, to September 17, 1913, a chain gage attached to downstream handrail of county bridge at a datum different from that of present gage.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from highway bridge, with a stayline.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel above and below gage is a deep canyon with basalt 

walls which are almost vertical. Control is a broad riffle 450 feet below gage, 

composed of sand, gravel, and bowlders which shift at high stages. Zero flow 

would occur at gage height approximately 0.9 foot.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. 1912-1914: Maximum stage recorded, 18.0 feet January 

7 and 8, 1914 (discharge, 30,300 second-feet). Flood of November, 1906, as 

determined by leveling from high-water marks pointed out by residents reached 

a gage height of about 29.4 feet (present staff gage datum; discharge approximately 51,000 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 2.0 feet September 7-13 

and September 24 and 25, 1914 (discharge, 975 second-feet).

DIVERSIONS . None.

REGULATION . None.

ACCURACY. Gage height record not considered very reliable prior to June, 1914, and 

only fairly reliable thereafter. Practically no diurnal fluctuation. Results 

poor prior to June, 1914, and fair thereafter.

NOTE. Monthly discharge September to December, 1911, supersedes that published in "Water Supply 

Paper 313, page 33. Mean discharge Sept. 21-30,1911, was 61.3 second-feet and the run-off 1,220 acre-feet.

LAKE CREEK AT MOUTH, NEAR LEWIS, WASH.

LOCATION. In sec. 11, T. 13 N., R. 9 E. Willamette meridian, a quarter of a mile 

above mouth, below Yakima trail bridge, and 2 miles northeast of Lewis, in 

Lewis County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 26 square miles (approximate); measured on PI. I, Water Supply 

Paper 313.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 21, 1907, to January 22, 1913; March 11, 1913, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Vertical staff on right bank, a quarter of a mile below Yakima trail bridge; 

read to hundredths, by Chas. L. Hall, October 1 to November 28; by E. H. 

Frank, November 30 to March 31, and by J. L. Jennings, April 3 to September 30.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable at gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Composed of large boulders; probably permanent; one 

channel at all stages. Zero flow would occur at gage height 1.0 foot, +0.2, 

as determined October 4, 1914.
148 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1914, PART XII C.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 1.7 foot at 1.45 

p. m. January 7 (discharge, 358 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.45 foot 

at!2.40p. m. October 5 (discharge, 56 second-feet). 1907-1914: Maximum stage 

recorded, 4.0 feet March 15 and 16, 1908 (discharge, 1,440 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.20 foot September 8-19, 1910, and October 30 to November 3, 1911 (discharge, 36 second-feet).

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice; open channel rating 

curve assumed applicable.

DIVERSIONS. None.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURECY. Gage-height record considered reliable, but accuracy of results is only 

fair on account of fragmentary record. Discharge for days on which gage was not 

read determined by hydrograph comparison with discharge of Lake Creek at 

outlet of Packwood Lake near Lewis, Washington. Very little diurnal fluctuation.

The following discharge measurement was made by I. L. Collier: 

June 15, 1914, gage height 1.10 feet; discharge, 173 second-feet.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Lake Creek at mouth, near Lewis, Wash.

JOHNSON CREEK BELOW WEST FORK, NEAR LEWIS, WASH.

LOCATION. In sec. 18, T. 12 N., R. 10 E. Willamette meridian, belo\s»West Fork 

1 mile above Glacier Creek, 6 miles above mouth, and 7 miles southeast of Lewis 

in Lewis County.

DRAINAGE AREA. Not measured.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. September 9, 1911, to December 30, 1912; May 15, 1913, to 

September 23, 1914, when station was discontinued.

GAGE. Vertical staff, graduated from 2 to 8 feet, on right bank about 100 feet below 

West Fork; 2-foot mark on gage is set at same elevation as weir crest; readings to 

hundredths by Chas. L. Hall, September 9, 1911, to November 30, 1913; by 

E. H. Frank, December 1, 1913, to March 31, 1914, and by J. L. Jennings, April 

1 to September 23, 1914.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from footlog at the gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. A sharp-lipped rectangular weir 19.80 feet long forma 

control; weir overflows at gage height 4.7 feet (discharge, 486 second-feet).

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. 1911-1914: Maximum stage recorded, 5.1 feet at 12 m. 

January 6, 1914 (discharge, 666 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 2.40 feet 

October 3, 1912, and September 7, 1914 (discharge, 20 second-feet).

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice; open channel rating 

curve assumed applicable.

DIVERSIONS . None.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. Gage height record considered reliable, weir required repairs occasionally 

to prevent leakage and was thought to be leaking June 1 to September 8, 1913; 

amount of leakage was determined by measurements made above and below 

weir September 8 and allowance made for leakage in computing estimates June 

1 to September 8; considerable diurnal fluctuation March to June; results fair.

The following discharge measurement was made by I. L. Collier: 

June 13, 1914, gage height, 1.66 feet; discharge, 183 second-feet.

STREAM-GAGING WATER STATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS RELATING TO WATER RESOURCES.

INTRODUCTION.

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large part of measurements of the volume of 

flow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting that flow, but 

it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as 

irrigation, water storage, water powers, underground waters, and 

quality of waters. Most of the results of these investigations have 

been published in the series of water-supply papers, but some have 

appeared in the bulletins, monographs, professional papers, and 

annual reports.

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published annually in 12 parts, each part covering*an area whose boundaries 

coincide with natural drainage features as indicated below:

Part I. North Atlantic slope basins.

II. South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins.

III. Ohio Eiver basin.

IV. St. Lawrence Eiver basin.

V. Upper Mississippi Eiver and Hudson Bay basins.

VI. Missouri Eiver basin.

VII. Lower Mississippi Eiver basin.

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins.

I.. Colorado Eiver basin.

X. Great Basin.

XL Pacific slope basins in ^California.

XII. North Pacific slope basins.

The records at most of the stations discussed in these report® 

extend over a series of years, and miscellaneous measurements at 

many points other than regular gaging stations have been made 

each year. An index of the reports containing records obtained 

prior to 1904 has been published in Wat0r-Supply Paper 119.

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

of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 to 1914. 

The data for any particular station will, as a rule, be found in the 

reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. 

For example, data, for Machias Kiver at Whitneyville, Me., 1903 to 

1914, are published in Water-Supply Papers 97, 124, 165, 201, 241, 

261, 281, 301, 321, 351, and 381, which contain records for the New 

England streams from 1903 to 1914. Kesults~ of miscellaneous 

measurements are published by drainage basins.

STREAM-FLOW REP0RTS. VH

In these papers and in the following lis^s the stations are arranged 

in downstream order. -The main stem of any river is determined 

by measuring or estimating its drainage ajrea that is, the headwater 

stream having the largest drainage area is considered the continuation of the main stream, and local changes in name and lake surface 

are disregarded. All stations from the source to the mouth of the 

main stem of the river are presented fitst, and the tributaries in 

regular order from source to mouth follow, the streams in each 

tributary basin being listed before those <&f the next basin below.

The exceptions to this rule occur in the records for Mississippi 

Kiver, which are given in four parts, as indicated on page m, and 

in the records for large lakes, where it is simpler to take up the 

streams in regular order around the rim of the lake than to cross 

back and forth over the lake surface.

PART XII. NORTH PACIFIC SLOPE) DRAINAGE BASINS.

PRINCIPAL STREAMS.

-

The largest rivers discharging into the Pacific Ocean in Oregon 

and Washington are Rogue, Umpqua, and Columbia rivers and 

streams that reach the ocean through Puget Sound. The principal 

tributaries of the Columbia are Kooteriai, Clark Fork, Spokane, 

Wenatchee, Yakima, Snake, Walla Walla, Umatilla, John Day, Deschutes, Klickitat, Willamette, and Lewis rivers. Nisqually, Puyallup, 

White, Snohomjsh, and Skagit rivers flow into Puget Sound. The 

streams of this division drain wholly or in part the States of Idaho, 

Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

In addition to the list of gaging stations and the annotated list of 

publications relating specifically to the section, these pages contain a 

similar list of reports that are of general interest in many sections and 

cover a wide range of hydrologio subjects, and also brief references to 

reports published by State and other organizations (see pp. xxxixxxn).

GEOLOGIC FOLIOS.

Under the plan adopted for the preparation of a geologic map of the United States 

the entire area is divided into small quadrangles, bounded by certain meridians and 

parallels, and these quadrangles, which number several thousand, are separately 

surveyed and mapped. 1 The unit of survey is also the unit of publication, and the 

maps and description of each quadrangle are issued in the form of a folio. When all 

the folios are completed they will constitute the Geologic Atlas of the United States.

A folio is designated by 'the name of the principal town or of a prominent natural 

feature within the quadrangle. Each folio includes maps showing the topography, 

geology, underground structure, and mineral deposits of the area mapped and several 

pages of descriptive text. The text explains the maps and describes the topographic 

and geologic features of the country and its mineral products. The topographic map 

shows roads, railroads, waterways, and, by contour lines, the shapes of the hills and 

valleys and the height above sea level of all points in the quadrangle. The arealgeology map shows the distribution of the various rocks at the surface. The structuralgeology map shows the relations of the rocks to one another underground. The 

economic-geology map indicates the location of mineral deposits that are commercially 

valuable. The artesian-water map shows the depth to underground-water horizons. 

Economic-geology and artesian-water maps are included in folios if the conditions in 

the areas mapped warrant their publication. The folios are of special interest to

geologic folios will be mailed on receipt of request addressed to the Director, II. S. Geological Survey,

students of geography and geology and are valuable as guides in the development and 

utilization of mineral resources.

The folios numbered from 1 to 163, inclusive, are published in only one form (18 by 

22 inches), called the library edition. Some of the folios that bear numbers higher 

than 163 are published also in an octavo edition (6 by 9 inches). Owing to a fire in 

, the Geological Survey Building May 18,1913, the stock of geologic folios was more or 

less damaged by fire and water, but 80 or 90 per cent of the folios are usable. They 

will be sold at the uniform price of 5 cents each, with no reduction for wholesale orders. 

This rate applies to folios in stock from 1 to 184, inclusive (except reprints), also the 

library edition of folio 186. The library edition of folios 185,187, and higher numbers 

sells for 25 cents a copy, except that some folios which contain an unusually large 

amount of matter sell at higher prices. The octavo edition of folio 185 and higher 

numbers sells for 50 cents a copy except folio 193, which sells for 75 cents a copy. If 

34 folios selling at 25 cents each (or their equivalent in higher-priced folios) are ordered 

at one time a discount of 40 per cent is allowed; $5.10 is the minimum amount accepted 

at this rate.

All the folios contain descriptions of the drainage of the quadrangles. The folios 

in the following list contain also brief discussions of the underground waters in connection with the economic resources of the areas and more or less information concerning 

the utilization of the water resources.
