SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BASIN, 1940

SCOPE OF WORK

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

and flow made on streams, lakes, and reservoirs In the United States during the water year 

ending September 30, 1940. The work was begun in 1888 In connection with special studies 

relating to Irrigation. Measurements of the flow of streams and of the stage and contents 

of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 8,800 gaging stations In the United States 

and also aft many gaging stations In Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1940, 4,760 gaging stations 

were being maintained by the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at many 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. Cooperation of the first 

kind is acknowledged In connection with the description of each station affected; cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 10.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The units In which stream-flow data are presented In this report and other terms 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 a stream whose channel Is 1 square foot In cross-sectional area and 

whose 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 

draining 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" is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 

foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. 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 84,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,317 gallons and 

represents a run-off of 0.0372 Inch 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 a feature below the gage that defines the stagedischarge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural section, a reach of the 

channel, or an artificial structure.

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 records of stage and discharge

1
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 structures in use at gaging stations are shown on plate 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge measurements. The application of the mean dally gage height to these rating tables gives the 

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

For most of the gaging stations in the area covered by this report the data presented 

comprise a description of the station, a table showing the daily discharge 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 otner 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 there are 10 or more 

complete years of record. Under "Extremes" are given the maximum discharge and gage 

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

discharge if there is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge if useful); and the 

minimum gage height (unless 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 discharge represents the lowest stage, 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 readings of the gage or the mean of 

twice-daily readings. For flashy floods the mean daily discharge is determined frcm gageheight 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, except those on 

streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation, the table gives the discharge corresponding to the mean daily gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the mean 

dally gage height may not indicate the true mean dally discharge, which must 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 gage-height graph 

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

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

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

or fall in a reach of the stream as a factor in the determination of discharge. Information requisite for determining the slope or fall is obtained by means of an auxiliary
EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

gage set at some distance from the base gage. The auxiliary gage, if one is used, is 

described under "Location." At some stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by 

changing stage, and for them the rate of change of 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, which makes It Impossible to compute the discharge In the usual manner. Discharge for periods of ice effect Is computed on the basis of occasional winter discharge 

measurements and gage heights, consideration being given to the available information on 

temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and comparable 

records of discharge for stations in the same or nearby basins. The days Included in the 

periods of ice effect and the days during the winter period on which discharge measurements were made are Indicated in the table by symbols referring to footnotes.

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 Instantaneous discharge when the water surface was at crest stage. Likewise, in the column headed "Minimum" 

the quantity given Is the minimum daily discharge. The column headed "Mean" gives the 

average flow in cubic feet per second during the month.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily on (1) the permanency of the stagedischarge relation and (2) the accuracy of observation of 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," within 20 or 

a'higher percent.

Yield at some stations as Indicated by monthly means may vary'wldely from natural yield, 

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease in evaporation 

due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of "second-feet per 

square mile" and "run-off in inches" are not published unless storage or diversion records 

are included Indicating the extent of the regulation or diversion or unless satisfactory 

adjustments can be made for changes In contents of reservoirs or for other changes Incident to use and control. Figures of second-feet per square mile and run-off In inches 

are also omitted If the drainage area Includes large noncontributlng areas or if the 

average annual rainfall over the drainage area is less than 20 Inches.

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 show the water supply available for further development, as prior appropriations 

below the station must first be satisfied.

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

table of dally 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 refinement 

In computations and records may be warranted with the Increase In data and the use of 

Improved equipment.

Note.- Reports containing records for years after 1901 are given In 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 1940. The data for any particular station will, In general, be found In the reports covering the years during which 

the station was maintained. For example, the data for 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by part 3 are published In Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 403, 433, 

453, 473, 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 under "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.

of Florence.

Drainage area.- 543 square miles.

Records available.- October 1923 to September 1940. January 1914 to September 1923 at site 

4 miles upstream, where drainage area is 511 square miles.

Average discharge.- 17 years (1923-39) 429 second-feet.

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum daily discharge during year, 1,910 second-feet May 22; no 

flow Aug. 6.

1923-40: Maximum daily discharge, 4,380 second-feet Apr. 9, 1929; no flow at times 

in 1924, 1926, 1927, 1930, 1931, 1933, 1940.

Remarks.- Records good except for high stages, which are fair. Discharge determined from 

power-plant records. Flow regulated by power plant 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 

or load-discharge rating of hydroelectric units as developed by Geological Survey in 

1931-32 and revised in 1939 on basis of two discharge measurements made in September 

1939.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE MICHIGAN SI 

Lake Winnebago at Oshkosh, Wis.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 44°00'40", long. 88 032'00'1 , in sec. 24, T. 18 N., R. 17 B., 

In mouth of upper Fox River at Chicago & Northwestern Railroad bridge, 0.2 mile downstream from Main Street Bridge in Oshkosh and 18 miles up the lake from Menasha Dam 

and outlet. Datum of gage Is 745.05 feet above mean sea level (levels by Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army). Prior to 1882 lake levels were referred to Deuchman gage at 

lake outlet, at Menasha Dam, lat. 44°12I 00", long. 88°26'50". Datum of Deuchman gage, 

which Is still in existence,is 745.00 feet above mean sea level.

Drainage area.- 6,030 square miles at lake outlet at Menasha Dam.

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1940. Records from 1857 to 1938 in files 

or corps or Engineers, U. S. Army. A report on Fox River by Corps of Engineers, U. 8. 

Army, is published as House Document No. p 146, 67th Congress, 2nd Session.

Extremes.- Maximum gage height observed during year, 3.42 feet June 24, 26; minimum observed, 0.46 foot Mar. 25, 26.

1857-1940: Maximum gage height observed. 5.33 feet (Deuchman gage) Nov. 8, 1881; 

minimum observed, -2.00 feet (Deuchman gage) Nov. 28, 1891.

Remarks.- Lake elevations controlled by dams at Menasha and Neenah which are operated in 

the interest of navigation. Crests of both dams are at elevation 746.73 feet above 

mean sea level. Present limits of regulation are from 21i inches above crest of 

Menasha Dam down to crest during the navigation season, plus an additional 18 to 24 

inches below crest during winter. The Oshkosh staff gage gives true level of the lake 

while Deuchman gage readings are affected by loss of head in the channel between the 

lake and dam. Gage read once daily.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

Mote.- Water-surface elevation on Dec. 31, 1939, was 1.24 feet lower than on 

Dee. 31, 1938, corresponding to a decrease in etorage of 35,058,620 cubic feet, 

or a discharge of 1.112 second-feet for the year. This adjustment applied to 

the figure for the calendar year gives a mean discharge for the year of 10.479 

second-feet, 0.832 second-foot per square mile, and run-off of 11.294 inches 

from drainage area.

Water surface elevation on Sept. 30, 1940, was 1.20 feet higher than that on 

Sept. 30, 1939, corresponding to an increase in storage of 34,900,968 cubic 

feet, or a discharge of 1.104 second-feet for the year. This adjustment applied 

to the figure for the water year gives a mean discharge for the year of 13.009 

second-feet, 1.032 second-feet per square mile, and run-off of 14.047 Inches 

from drainage area. Ho allowance has been made for losses by evaporation.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 131

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

Location.- Water-stage recorders, lat. 43 027'00n , long. 76°30'25n , at lock 7, in Oswego, 

oswego County, three-quarters of a mile upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 246.00 

feet above mean sea level (New York State Barge Canal datum).

Drainage.- 5,121 square miles.

Kecoras"available.- November 1933 to September 1940. April 1897 to December 1901 and, of 

doubtful accuracy, October 1927 to September 1928 at High Dam, about three-quarters of 

a mile upstream.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 35,000 second-feet Apr. 10 (gage height, 13.46 

reet), Includes mean daily discharge of canals; minimum (river only), 97 second-feet 

(regulated) Dec. 16 (gage height, 1.23 feet); minimum daily, 753 second-feet Sept-. 14.

1933-40: Maximum discharge, 37,500 second-feet Mar. 28, 1936 (gage height, 13.10 

feet), includes mean daily discharge of canals; minimum (river only), 42 second-feet 

(regulated) Oct. 23, 1935 (gage height, 1.01 feet); minimum dally, 465 second-feet 

Aug. 12, 1934.

Remarks^- Records excellent except those for period of no river gage heights and those 

for period of probable backwater in river channel, which are fair. This record represents total discharge at Oswego and includes flow in Hydraulic and Barge Canals. A 

large amount of natural storage and some artificial regulation is afforded by the many 

large lakes and the Barge Canal system In the river basin. Large diurnal fluctuations 

at low and medium stages caused by power plants above station. The Oswego River Basin 

receives water from the Erie division of the Barge Canal through lock 32 near Plttsford. A small diversion from the watershed Is occasionally made from tributary streams 

through the summit level of the Barge Canal at New London into the Mohawk River Basin. 

During part of year entire flow from 45 square miles of drainage area of Mud Creek may 

be diverted from Chemung River Basin into Lake Keuka, in Oswego River Basin. During 

year nearly all of flow from 15.7 square miles of Tioughnioga River Basin was diverted 

into DeRuyter Reservoir, In Oswego River Basin.

f Incomplete gage-height record; discharge estimated.

Hote.- Probable backwater in river channel June 2 to Aug. 22.
132 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Fall Creek near Ithaca, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 42027'2011 , long. 76°28'3011 , in 

Forest Home, Tompkins County, half a mile upstream from Cornell University Dam and li 

miles northeast of Ithaca. Datum of gage is 794.61 feet above mean sea level (levels 

by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 124 square miles.

Kecoras available.- February 1925 to September 1940. July 1906 to June 1909, at site li 

miles downstream.

Average discharge.- 15 years (1925-40) 184 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 4,300 second feet Mar. 31 (gage height, 5.20 

reetj; minimum, 5.1 second-feet Nov. 26 (gage height, 0.19 foot).

1925-40: Maximum discharge, 15,500 second-feet July 8, 1935 (gage height, 9.52 

feet), from average of computed flow over each of four dams; minimum, about 3 secondfeet Aug. 25, 1927 (gage height, 0.16 foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, 

whicii are fair. Cornell University diverted 236,913,000 gallons about a mile above 

station for water supply and thus reduced the mean discharge at the station 1.01 secondfeet for the year.

138 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Limestone Creek at Fayetteville, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°01'45", long. 76°00'50", in village of Fayettevllle, Onondaga County, 100 feet downstream from bridge on Genesee Street and 8 miles 

upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 427.62 feet above mean sea level (levels by 

Corps of Engineers,, U. S. Army). Prior to Nov. 13, 1939, staff gage at same site and 

datum.

Drainage area.- S5.7 square miles, not Including 15.7 square miles of Middle Branch of 

Tioughnloga Creek Basin, flow from which is probably almost completely diverted Into 

Limestone Creek Basin through DeRuyter Reservoir.

Records available.- November 1939 to September 1940.

Extremes,.- Maximum discharge during period, 3,470 second-feet Mar. 31 (gage height, 8.07 

reetjT maximum gage height, 8.5 feet Mar. 31 (Ice jam); minimum discharge, 14 secondfeet (regulated) Aug. 10 (gage height, 2.88 feet).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect or incomplete gage heights, 

which are fair. Staff gage read to hundredths Nov. 3-13. Discharge regulated by canal 

diverting water from Limestone Creek about 3 miles upstream and returning it to creek 

about 400 feet upstream from station, and by DeRuyter Reservoir, which takes water from 

15.7 square miles of the Kiddle Branch of Tioughnioga Creek Basin and discharges It Into head of Limestone Creek. Seasonal regulation also results from DeRuyter Reservoir.

Mill Creek sluiceway at Boonville, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°29'10", long. 75°19'40", about 500 feet upstream 

from Schuyler Street, Boonville, Oneida County, and a quarter of a mile upstream from 

confluence with Mill Creek.

Records available.- October 1933 to September 1940 (discontinued).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge.recorded during year, 39 second-feet Sept. 17 (gage height, 

0.77 root); minimum recorded, 0.1 second-foot Nov. 21, 23, 24, 25 (gage height, 0.03 

foot) during period of no diversion.

1933-40: Maximum discharge, 146 second-feet Oct. 3, 1934; maximum gage height, 

2.86 feet sometime during period Dec. 11-16, 1933 (ice jam); no flow during periods of 

no diversion.

Remarks. - Records good except those for periods of no or faulty gage-height record, which 

are fair. The sum of this record and that of Black River Canal (flowing south) represents the total diversion from Black River at Forestport through Forestport feeder and 

Includes also the run-off from about 14 square miles tributary to the canal system and 

Mill Creek. This record shows the amount of water returned to Black River.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 43°42'50", long. 74°58'10", at Old Forge, Herkimer County, 400

feet downstream from State dam. 

Drainage area.- 52 square miles. 

Records available.- November 1911 to September 1940.

Average discharge?- 28 years (1912-40), 104 second-feet (not adjusted for storage). 

Extremes tregulated).- Maximum discharge observed during year, 314 second-feet Sept. 24

(gage height, 3.0 feet); minimum, 0.7 second-foot Dec. 15-17 (gage height, 0.10 foot),

when gates in dam were closed,.

1911-40: Maximum daily discharge, 862 second-feet Mar. 23, 1921, from rating curve

extended above 450 second-feet by logarithmic plotting; minimum, about 0.1 second-foot

many times during 1938-39 when gates in dam were closed. 

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect or backwater from North

Branch, which are fair. On days of changes in gate openings the discharge Is averaged

for intervals of a day from graph based on gage readings and record of gate operations.

Gage read twice dally. Flow regulated by Fulton Chain of Lakes.

ote.- Stage-discharge relation affected by Ice Nov. 26, Dec. 11-17, Dec. 24 to Apr. 8.
194 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER

Winooski River near Essex Junction, Vt.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°28'40", long. 73°08 1 20", half a mile downstream 

rrom Muddy Brook and 2 miles southwest of Essex Junction, Chittenden County.

Drainage area.- 1,044 square miles (revised).

Records available.- October 1928 to September 1940.

Average discharge.- 12 years, 1,640 second-feet (adjusted for change in reservoir contents since October 1938).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 22,800 second-feet May 3 (gage height, 13.38 

feet); minimum dally, 86 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 15.

1928-40: Maximum discharge, 45,300 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 23.54 

feet), from rating curve extended above 25,000 second-feet on basis of slope-area 

determination and computation of flow over dam at gage heights 18.72 feet, 23.54 

feet, and 50.4 feet; minimum daily, 70 second-feet Sept. 25, 1937.

Maximum discharge known, 113,000 second-feet Nov. 4, 1927 (gage height, 50.4 feet, 

from floodmarks), by slope-area determination and computation of flow over dam.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those above 12,000 second-feet, which are good, and 

those for period of Ice effect, which are fair. Flow regulated by power plant and 

by reservoirs on Mollys Brook and, since 1937, by Waterbury Reservoir (see p. 201) 

(combined usable capacity, 3,304,300,000 cubic feet, revised), which regulate runoff from 24 square miles and 109 square miles, respectively, and since 1935 by East 

Barre Detention Reservoir (see p. 195) and Wrightsville Detention Reservoir (see 

p. 197) (combined usable capacity, 1,379,500,000 cubic feet).

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER 195

East Barre Detention Reservoir at East Barre, vt.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 44°10', long. 72°27', on reservoir on Jail Branch at East 

Barre, Washington County, 3i miles upstream from confluence with Stevens Branch. 

Datum of gage is 1,127.9 feet above mean sea level (levels by Corps of Engineers, 

U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 32.2 square miles.

Records available.- March and April 1936, September 1938 to September 1940.

Extremes.- Maximum gage height observed during year, 23.3 feet May 4; minimum, 0.2 foot 

August 19, 29-31.

1936,- 1938-40: Maximum gage height, 36.0 feet Mar. 22, 1936; minimum, 0.1 foot 

on several days in August and September 1939.

Remarks.- Reservoir is fonned by earth-fill dam completed by Corps of Engineers, U. S. 

Army, In 1935 for flood control. Capacity of reservoir is 506,000,000 cubic feet 

between gage heights, 0.0 foot (bottom of outlet opening) and 37.1 feet (crest of 

spillway). Dam has no gates; outflow from reservoir is dependent on capacity of 

fixed outlet opening, 4 feet square, near base of dam. Gage read at 4 p.'m.

Cooperation.- Gage readings furnished by State of Vennont Board of Public Works.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER 199

Dog River at Northfield Falls, Vt.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°10'55", long. 72°38'30", 1 mile downstream 

rrom Northfield Falls, Washington County, and 1$ miles downstream from Cox Branch. 

Datum of gage is 603.00 feet above mean sea level (levels by Corps of Engineers, 

U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 76.1 square miles.

Records available.- November 1934 to September 1940.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,600 second-feet May 3 (gage height, 6.70 

reet), from rating curve extended above 1,100 second-feet on basis of computations 

of flow over dam and by slope-area determinations at gage heights 8.49 feet and 

11.53 feet; minimum, 6.0 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 30.

1934-40: Maximum discharge, 9,750 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 11.53 

feet), by slope-area method; minimum, 4.8 second-feet (regulated) several times 

during August and September 1939.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair, 

diurnal regulation at low stages caused by power plant above station.
