SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 20 reports presenting records of stage, discharge, 

and content, of streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the 1959 water 

year. Since 1888, when the United States Geological Survey first studied streamflow in 

relation to problems of irrigation, similar records have been obtained at more than 15,200 

gaging stations in the 50 States. On September 30, 1959, the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations were maintaining 7,110 gaging stations. 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 1959 water year 

at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites in the North Atlantic 

slope basins, New York to York River, are given in this report.

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 above. All gagingstation records for the States of Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia, and some records 

for the States of New York and Pennsylvania and for the Delaware River basin 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 selected numbers of consecutive days. In addition the records for Maryland 

and New Jersey give the highest mean discharge for selected numbers of consecutive days in 

each year. Provisional records of discharge, information on the availability of electronic computer results, and other unpublished data concerning the gaging-staticn records 

may generally be obtained from the district office.

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 wlTe 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 tt° runoff 

is distributed uniformly in time and area.

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

all 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 0.0372 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.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1959, PART 1-B

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, treasured in a horizontal plane, which la 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 previously 

published reports.

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, lr 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 it is 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 station 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 made between 

pavtj.al-record stations and regular gaging stations, so that the station number for a 

yavtial-record station indicates downstream-order position in a list mad? 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 net consecutive. The complete number for each station includes the part number, tut the station number as shown in this report, just to the left 

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

example, for a station with the complete number IB-3210.00, the station number shown in 

this report is 3210. The notation to the left of the hyphen is the part number; it is 

IB for all stations in this report, with one exception, and is therefore omitted. The 

exception is station No. 4-2520.00, Black River Canal (flowing south) near Boonville, 

N. Y., which diverts from Black River in the St. Lawrence River basin to the Hudson River 

basin. This station was numbered as a Part 4 station; the "4-" is therefore included in 

the station number shown in this report.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1959, PART 1-B 5 

EXPLANATION OP 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 dally 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 sin?e 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 

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 is 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 stagsdischarge relation is affected by changing stage. If so, the rate of change in stage i~s 

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 stations in the same or nearby basins. 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 1959 is shown on page IV for the 

purpose of finding the day of the week for any date.
6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1959, PART 1-B

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 "Location" for some stations, is that determined and used by the 

Corps of Engineers unless otherwise noted. Under "Records available" are given 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 daturas 

of previous gages used during the period of records available. Under "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" are given 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 (also the minimum discharge if useful); and the minimum gage height 

(unless it is of no importance). In the first paragraph, the data given are 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 is 

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 erest. 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 is given under "Remarks."

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 o"der to make it 

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

added to the description of all stations for which revised records have b?en 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 ysar 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 ths year dates as 

follows: "(M)" means that only the instantaneous maximum discharge was r3vised; "(m)" 

that only the instantaneous minimum was revised; and "(P)" that only peak discharges were 

revised. If the drainage area has been revised, the report in which the revised figure 

was first published is given. It should be noted that for all stations far which cubic 

feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches are published, a revision of the 

drainage area necessitates corresponding revision of all figures based on the drainage 

area. Revised figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and runof" in inches 

resulting from a revision of the drainage area only are usually not published in the 

annual series of reports.
EXPLANATION OP DATA 7

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

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 daily 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 daily 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 dally 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 tw^ce-daily 

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

readings. Por periods of rapidly changing stage, the dally mean discharge is determined 

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

station description.

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 dally 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 

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

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

most stations are listed below" the table of dally 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 "Remarks" in the station description.

For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a description of the stp.ti-in ' t n-i a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reservoirs
8 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1959, PART 1-B

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 p-iblished 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 "Remarks" a reference is made to quality-of-water records collecte-l 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" in quality-of-water reports; such records ar<s not referred to 

in "Remarks" paragraph in this report. At many gaging stations water tenperature 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 a 

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

table of annual maximum 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 charact3ristics of an 

area. Such measurements are given in special tables after the list of imasurements 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. "Excellent" 

indicates that, in general, the error in the daily records is believed t-> be less than 

5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," 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 vaiy widely from 

natural runoff, owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease in evaporation due to artificial causes, or to other factors. Fo- 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 content^, 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.
PUBLICATIONS 9

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 must first be supplied to existing irrigation systems.

PUBLICATIONS

Basic data for gaging stations are published in an annual series of reports consisting 

of 20 volumes, including one each for the States of Alaska and Hawaii. The area of the 

other 48 States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural 

drainage lines. Formerly, the annual series of reports on surface water supply consisted 

of 14 volumes, one for each of the 14 parts. Beginning with the reports for 1951, the 

records for the 48 States were 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 througt" September 1950 

has been published as Water-supply Paper 1302. That report contains a summary of monthly 

and annual'discharges for all previously-published records as well as seme 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 is

SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1959, PART 1-B 13 

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

In the area covered by this report there were few significant variations In streamflow 

during the year. In southern New Jersey excessive streamflow, which began In March 1958, 

continued through November. In central Maryland, streamflow was deficient for eight consecutive months, December 1958 to July 1959. Except for southern New Jersey, the entire 

area had deficient flow during July. The monthly mean discharge of Potomac River at 

Paw Paw, W. Va., for March, July, and September was record-low for the respective months. 

The yearly mean discharge of Potomac River at Point of Rocks, Md., was the lowest in 

64 years of record. Moderate floods occurred in most parts of New York and Pennsylvania 

during January. On August 8 the maximum discharge in 21 years of record was recorded on 

Northwest Branch Anacostia River near Hyattsville, Md.

3035. Cold Spring Brook at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y.

Location. -Lat 40°51'25", long 73°27'50", on left bank 270 ft upstream from State Highway 25A, at Cold Spring Harbor State Pish Hatchery, Nassau County, and 1 mile southwest 

of village of Cold Spring Harbor, Suffolk County.

Drainage area. About 7.3 sq mi.

Records available. July 1950 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 5.38 ft above mean sea 

Tevel, datum of 1929.

Average discharge. 9 years, 2.64 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 48.6 cfs Mar. 6 (gage height, 1.015 ft); maximum 

gage height, 1.885 ft Mar. 12 (backwater from high tide); minimum discharge, 1.90 cfs 

Aug. 26 (gage height, 0.20 ft).

1950-59: Maximum discharge, 108 ofs Sept. 11, 1954 (gage height, 1.332 ft, backwater from aquatic vegetation), from rating curve extended above 28 ofs by logarithmic 

plotting; maximum gage height, 5.342 ft Aug. 31, 1954 (backwater from high tide), from 

high-water mark; minimum discharge, 0.39 cfs Feb. 9, 1951 (gage height, 0.086 ft), result of ice action.

Remarks.--Records good except those for periods of backwater from aquatic vegetation, 

which are fair. Plow occasionally regulated at outlet of pond 4'. ft above station. 

Diversion from this pond by New York State Pish Hatchery bypasses station. This station is operated In connection with an inventory of water resources on Long Island, 

In addition to records of streamflow, records of ground-water levels are collected, 

aome of which are published in water-supply papers. See page 50" for results of discharge measurements of Long Island streams at sites other than regular gaging stations.

Discharge measurement made on this day
26 STREAMS ON LONG ISLAND

3055. Swan River at East Patchogue, N. Y.

Location. Lat 40°46'00", long 72°59'35", on left bank 94 ft downstream from Montauk Highway in East Patchogue, Suffolk County, 200 ft downstream from outlet of Swan Lake, and 

lij miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. About 8.8 sq ml (revised).

Records available. October 1946 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage Is 2.84 ft above mean sea 

level, datum of 1929.

Average discharge. 13 years, 13.07 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 41 cfs July 11 (gage height, I.SB ft, backwater 

from debris below control), from rating curve extended above 17 cfs by logarithmic 

plotting; minimum discharge, 0.39 cfs Apr. 12 (gage height, 0.095 ft); minimum daily, 

10.6 cfs July 7.

1946-59: Maximum discharge, 47 cfs Aug. 12, 1955, from rating curve extended above 

18 cfs by logarithmic plotting; maximum gage height, 1.801 ft Sept. 11, 1954 (backwater 

from debris below control); minimum discharge, 0.1 cfs Feb. 6, 1947 (gage height, 0.050 

ft); minimum daily, 6.1 cfs Oct. 18, 1953.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of backwater from detris below 

control, which are fair. Flow regulated occasionally at outlet of Swar Lake. This 

station is operated In connection with an inventory of water resources on Lond Island. 

In addition to records of streamflow, records of ground-water levels are collected, 

some of which are published in water-supply papers. See page 500 for results of discharge measurements of Long Island streams at sites other than regular gaging stations.

mean sea level, datum of 1929. Supplementary water-stage recorder with concrete control on left bank of secondary channel a quarter of a mile northeast of base gage at 

datum 5.74 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Average discharge.--16 years, 40.17 cfs.

Extreme a. Maximum daily discharge during year, 80.7 cfs July 11; minimuir dally, 30.4 cfs

1943-59: Maximum daily discharge, 263 cfs Oct. 1-6, 1955; minimum dally, 22.3 cfa 

Sept. 6, 1957.

Remarks. Records good except those for period of no gage-height record, which are fair. 

Plow at both gages regulated occasionally by cleaning operations at ovtlets of ponds 

above stations. Discharge figures given are those of combined flows in main and secondary channels. This station Is operated in connection with an Inventory of water resources on Long Island. In addition to records of streamflow, records- of ground-water 

levels are collected, some of which are published in water-supply papers. See page 500 

for results of discharge measurements of Long Island streams at sites other than regular gaging stations.

STREAMS ON LONG ISLAND

3080. Sampawams Creek at Babylon, N. Y.

Location. Lat 40°42'15", long 73°18'50", on left bank at upstream side of John Street 

Bridge in Babylon, Suffolk County, 180 ft downstream from Long Island Railroad and 

3,000 ft upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. About 23 sq mi.

Records available. October 1944 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 6.70 ft above mean 

sea level, datum of 1929.

Average discharge.--15 years, 9.75 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 56.2 cfs July 11 (gage height, 1.165 ft); minimum discharge, 4.62 cfs Jan. 6 (gage height, 0.31 ft) result of freezeup; minimum daily, 

5.61 cfs July 9.

1944-59: Maximum discharge, 110 cfs Oct. 16, 1955 (gage height, 1.672 ft, from 

reconstructed gage-height graph); minimum, 2.65 cfs Aug. 3, 1955 (gage height, 0.232 

ft, backwater from aquatic vegetation); minimum daily, 3.35 cfs Aug. 3, 1955, Aug. 2, 

1957.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for period of backwater from aquatic vegetation, 

which are good, and those for period of no gage-height record, which are fair. Flow 

regulated slightly by pumping operations at railroad and occasionally by ponds above 

station. Prior to November 1950, slight diurnal fluctuation caused by pover operations. This station is operated in connection with an inventory of water resources on 

Long Island. In addition to records of streamflow, records of ground-water levels are 

collected, some of which are published in water-supply papers. See page £00 for 

results of discharge measurements of Long Island streams at sites other ttan regular 

gaging stations.

1918. Supplementary water-stage recorder with concrete control on right bank of secondary channel about 1,000 ft east of base gage at datum 16.88 ft above mean sea level, 

adjustment of 1912. June to October 1883, determinations of flow by various methods at 

different site and datum. July to October 1903, staff gages on two channels near same 

site, at different datum.

daily discharge, 1.84 cfs Sept. 12, 1943.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of shifting control, which are fair.

Prior to Nov. 4, 1955, flow at all stages regulated intermittently at outlet of Wantagh 

Reservoir, 1 mile above station, and prior to November 1953 by Browning Fond, 1-alf a 

mile above station. Subsequent to Nov. 3, 1955, permanent diversion of a substantial 

portion of the flow through west branch of Wantagh Stream. Subsequent to Aug. 1, 1958, 

west branch became main channel and former main channel became secondary channel. Discharge figures given are those of combined flows in main and secondary channel?. This 

station is operated In connection with an Inventory of water resources on Long Island. 

In addition to records of streamflow, records of ground-water levels are collected, 

some of which are published in watsr-supply papers. See page 500 for results cf discharge measurements of Long Island streams at sites other than regular gaging stations.

Remarks. Records good except those for March through July and those below 100 cfs, which 

are fair. Flow completely regulated by Sacandaga Reservoir since March 1930 (see preceding page); no discharge over spillway during year. Extensive diurnal fluctuation 

caused by release of water from Sacandaga Reservoir, through Elmer J. West hydroelectric 

station as directed by Board of Hudson River-Black River Regulating District, and 

Stewarts Bridge hydroelectric station.

Cooperation. --Since October 1932, discharge computed by Board of Hudson River-Black River 

Regulating District from rating developed by Geological Survey.

4-2520. Black River Canal (flowing south) near Boonville, N. Y.

Location. Lat 43°27'20", long 75°19'25", on left bank at look 69, 200 ft downstream from 

bridge on State Highway 46 and 2 miles south of Boonville, Oneida County.

Records available. September 1915 to September 1959 (canal seasons only, prior to October 

1942 and since October 1957).

Qage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 1,105.56 ft above 

mean sea level, datum of 1929. Prior to June 7, 1929, station was operated as a slope 

station on summit level of canal. Auxiliary water-stage recorder with concrete control 

on right bank of Lansingkill spillway, 100 ft downstream from spillway headgates, 

600 ft upstream from lock 70, and half a mile upstream from lock 69.

Extremes.--1915-59: Maximum daily discharge recorded, 323 cfs Nov. 30, 1915; practically 

no flow at times when no water is being diverted.

Remarks.--Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record at auxiliary

gage, which are fair. This record shows combined flow in Black River Canal and Lansingkill spillway, and represents total diversion from Black River at Forestport, through 

Porestport feeder, into Mohawk River basin. Discharge during periods Oct. 1 to Nov. 8, 

Nov. 10 to Apr. 19, Apr. 21 to May 1, May 21 to July 18, Sept. 3-14, when no water was 

diverted, made up of leakage through headgates and runoff from area draining into canal

HUDSON RIVER BASIN

3360. Mohawk River below Delta Dam, near Rome, N. Y.

Location. Lat 43°15'50", long 75°26'10", on right bank at Spring Brook fish hatchery,

 1 mile downstream from Delta Dam and 4 mileis north of Rome, Oneida County.

Drainage area. 150 sq mi.

Records available. October 1927 to September 1959 in reports of Geological Survey. Deceraber 1919 to September 1926 (prior to July 1921, gage heights only) in reports of

State engineer and surveyor.

Gage . Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 474.00 ft above mean sea level (Barge Canal 

"(Tatum). Prior to Jan. 24, 1937, staff gage at site 200 ft downstream at same datum. 

Average discharge.--38 years (1921-59), 391 cfs (unadjusted). 

Extremes . Maximum discharge during year, 1,460 cfs May 20 (gage height, 4.80 ft); maxi-

 mum gage height, 5.32 ft Jan. 22 (backwater from "ice); minimum discharge, 95 cfs Mar. 18 

(gage height, 1.24 ft); minimum daily, 155 cfs May 31.

1927-59: Maximum discharge, 8,560 cfs Oct. 2. 1945 (gage height, 11.18 ft); minimum, 30 cfs Sept. 27, 1945 (gage height, 0.65 ft); minimum daily, 45 cfs Jan. 17, 1931.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. During 

canal navigation season, water is diverted from Blaek River through Forestport feeder 

and Black River Canal (flowing south) into Delta Reservoir above station. Flov completely regulated by Delta Reservoir (usable capacity, 2,800,000,000 cu ft). Small 

quantity of water diverted from Delta Reservoir for fish hatchery use and later returned to river, part above and part below station.

Revisions.--WSP 851: Drainage area.

HUDSON RIVER BASIN 71

3470. Mohawk River near Little Falls, N. Y.

Location. Lat 43°00'50", long 74°46'40", on left bank 1,800 ft downstream from Rocky Rift 

Dam, 2 miles upstream from East Canada Creek, and 4| miles southeast of city of Little 

Falls, Herkimer County.

Drainage area. 1.348 sq mi.

Records available. February to April 1901 and October 1927 to September 1959 in reports 

of Geological Survey. November 1923 to September 1927 (gage heights and discharge 

measurements only) in files of State Department of Public Works.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 310.0 ft above mean sea level (Barge Canal 

datum). February to April 1901, staff gage 1,800 ft upstream at different datum.

Average discharge. 32 years (1927-59), 2,762 cfs .

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year (river channel only), 17,400 cfs Jan. 22 (gage 

height, 14.54 ft); minimum (river channel only), 432 cfs Sept. 26 (gage height, 4.33 ft); 

minimum daily (including canal). 551 cfs Sept. 24.

1927-59: Maximum discharge (river channel only), 25,300 cfs Oct. 3, 1945 (gage 

height, 17.80 ft); minimum (river channel only), 214 cfs Aug. 18, 1949 (gage height, 

3.75 ft); minimum daily (including canal), probably not less than 463 cfs Sept. 2, 1934.

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

Records of daily discharge include diversion at Rocky Rift Dam into Barge Canal for 

power and lockage at lock 16, near St. Johnsville. During canal navigation season, 

water is received from Black River basin through Black River Canal (flowing south) and 

Lansing Kill, and from Chenango River basin through Oriskany Creek feeder. Water is 

diverted into (or may occasionally be received from) Oswego River basin through summit 

level of Barge Canal between New London and Utica. Diurnal fluctuation causec' by powerplants and locks and dams on Barge Canal. Appreciable regulation by Delta and Hlnckley 

Reservoirs (combined usable capacity, 6,120,000,000 cu ft).

Revisions (water years). WSP 741: 1929(M), drainage area. WSP 1432: 1928-30.

Discharge, in cubic feet per second, water year October 1958 to September 1959

76 HUDSON RIVEH BASIN

3575. Mohawk River at Cohoes, N. Y.

Location.--Lat 42°47'05", long 73°42'25", on right bank at School Stre3t plant of Niagara 

Mohawk Power Corp. In Cohoes, Albany County, If miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.--3,456 sq ml.

Records available.--July 1925 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 49.13 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

T929. Prior to Oct. 19, 1925, powerplant gage.

Average discharge. 34 years, 5,647 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 64,400 cfs Jan. 22 (gage height, 18.85 ft); 

minimum, 65 cfs July 27 (gage height, 3.81 ft); minimum daily, 77 cfs Sept. 27.

1925-59: Maximum discharge, 130,000 cfs Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 22.57 ft), 

from rating curve extended above 34,500 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 6 cfs 

Sept. 28, 1941 (gage height, 3.40 ft); minimum daily, 23 cfs Aug. 24, 1941.

Remarks. Records excellent. Records include small diversion just abo-'e gage for Cohoes 

water supply but do not include diversion through lock 6 at Crescent Dam (published 

herewith) for operation of Barge Canal. During canal navigation season, water is received from Black River basin through Black River Canal (flowing sojth) and Lansing 

Kill, and from Chenango River basin through Oriskany Creek feeder. Water is diverted 

into (or may occasionally be received from) Oswego River basin through summit level 

of Barge Canal between New London and Utica. Most of flow of Schoharie Creek above 

Gilboa Dam, a tributary to Mohawk River, is diverted out of basin through Shandaken 

tunnel for water supply of city of New York. Slight regulation by storage, principally 

in Delta, Hinckley, and Schoharie Reservoirs (combined capacity, 8,738,000,000 cu ft). 

Extensive diurnal fluctuation caused by School Street powerplant. Records of suspended 

sediment loads and water temperatures for the water year 1959 are given in WSP 1641.

Records available. February 1946 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 0.31 ft below mean sea level, datum of 

1929 (Corps of Engineers bench mark). Since July 1, 1946, auxiliary water-stage recorder on bypass channel at datum 10.59 ft higher.

Average discharge. 13 years, 13,670 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 92,400 cfs Jan. 22; maximum gage height, 22.21 

ft Jan. 22; minimum daily discharge, 1,340 cfs July 5; minimum gage height, 14.55 ft 

July 6.

1946-59: Maximum discharge, 181,000 cfs Dec. 31, 1948 (gage height, 27.05 ft, from 

high-water mark in gage well); maximum daily, 141,000 cfs Dec. 31, 1948, Jan. 1, 1949; 

minimum daily, 1,270 cfs Sept. 5, 1949; minimum gage height, 13.92 ft Sept. 2, 1946.

Flood of Mar. 19, 1936, reached a stage of 29.48 ft at gage on opposite bank, from 

information by Corps of Engineers (discharge, 215,000 cfs). Flood of Mar. 28,.1913, 

prior to construction of Sacandaga Reservoir and Troy lock and dam, reached a stage 

about 0.2 ft higher upstream from former dam near same site. Downstream from dams,

. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 43.83 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

929. Prior to January 1919, chain gage on highway bridge 150 ft downstrean at datum 

4.0 ft lower.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 10,100 cfs Mar. 6 (gage height, 10.85 ft); maximum gage height. 13.22 ft Jan. 22 (ice jam); minimum discharge, 10 cfs Sept. 28 (gage 

height, 1.15 ft); minimum daily discharge, 54 cfs Sept. 24.

1901-3, 1906-19, 1926-59: Maximum discharge, 35,800 cfs Oct. 16, 1955 (gage height, 

26.8 ft, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 15,000 cfs on basis of 

contracted-opening measurement at gage height 23.93 ft; minimum, 4.1 cfs Aug. 19, 1954; 

minimum gage height observed, 1.15 ft Oct. 30, 1956, Sept. 28, 1959; minimum daily discharge, 8.5 cfs Sept. 30, 1948.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Large diurnal fluctuations during low and medium flow caused by hydroelectric plant above station. Diversion from Rondout Creek through the emergency connection to the Delaware 

Aqueduct at Lackawack for water supply of city of New York during period April 1944 to 

May 1951. Flow regulated by Rondout Beservoir since October 1950. Subsequent to May 

1951, entire flow above Merriman Dam, except for conservation releases, and during 

periods of spilling, diverted from Rondout Reservoir for water supply of city of New 

York. Flow above Merriman Dam consists of flow fro« drainage area of 94.4 sq mi, and 

diversion into the reservoir from the Delaware River basin (see p. 266).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 924 cfs Mar. 7 (gage height, 4.41 ft); no flow 

Jan. 19, 20.

1903-4, 1906-59: Maximum daily discharge, 7,560 cfs Oct. 10, 1903; practically no 

flow for many days.

Remarks. Records excellent except those below 10 cfs, which are good, and those for periods of no gage-height record, which are fair. Records given herein reoresent flow over 

control only. Flow regulated by Boonton Reservoir 2,000 ft above station and by Splitrock Reservoir 16J miles above station (see p. 131). Sewage effluent from Rockaway 

Valley trunk sewer is discharged to Rockaway River 600 ft below station. Most of water 

for sewage effluent is diverted by water departments or companies by p-imping from wells 

in vicinity of Wharton, Dover, Denville, and Boonton. Water diverted from Boonton 

Reservoir for municipal supply for Jersey City (see p. 133).

Cooperation.--Gage-height records for station and record of sewage-disposal plant effluent 

furnished by Jersey City.

RARITAN RIVER BASIN

4005. Rarltan River at Manvllle, N. J.

Location.--Lat 40e33'18", long 74°35'02", on left bank at downstream side of highway 

bridge at Manvllle, Somerset County, 1.4 miles upstream from Millstone River.

Drainage area. 490 sq ml.

Re cords available. June 1903 to March 1907 (published as "at Finderne"), August 1908 to 

April 1915 (gage heights only, published In WSP 521), August 1921 to September 1959.

f

. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage Is 20.61 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

929. Prior to Aug. 15, 1923, chain gage on downstream side of highway bridge at same 

site and datum. Since Oct. 1, 1952, water-stage recorder at station at Bound Brook 

used as auxiliary gage when stage Is above 5.0 ft.

f

verage discharge. 38 years (1921-59), 749 cfs (unadjusted), 

xtremes. Maximum discharge during year, 9,200 cfs Oct. 26; maximum gage height, 11.96 

ft Oct. 26; minimum dally discharge, 68 cfs Sept. 30.

1903-7, 1981-59: Maximum discharge. 36,100 cfs Sept. 28, 1938 (gage height, SO.42 

ft, from floodmark In recorder shelter), from rating curve extended above 14,000 cfs 

on basis of slope-area measurement at gage heights 14.9 and 20.48 ft; maximum gage 

height, 22.1 ft Aug. 19, 1955; minimum dally discharge, 22 cfs Aug. 20, 1957 (does not 

include water diverted to Johns-Manvllle plant).

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect and when fall was used as a 

factor, which are fair, and those for periods of fragmentary or doubtful gage-height 

record, which are poor. Records given herein represent flow at gage only. D'version 

to Johns-Manvllle plant, 1,500 ft above station, returned to river 0.6 mile below station. Slight diurnal fluctuation at low flow. Records adjusted for diversion since 

October 1954 on basis of records of diversion since March 1957 and information furnished by Johns-Manvllle Products Corp.

4210. East Branch Delaware River at Fishs Eddy, N. Y.

Location. Lat 41°58'00", long 75°10 I 50", on left bank at downstream side of railroad 

bridge at Fishs Eddy, Delaware County, just upstream from Fish Creek, 4? miles downstream from Beaver Kill and 11 miles upstream from confluence of East and West Branches 

near Hancock.

Drainage area. 783 sq mi.

Records available. November 1912 to September 1959.

;e_. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 950.96 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

^929. Prior to Sept. 27, 1928, staff gage at same site and datum.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 17,600 cfs Apr. 3 (gage height, 12.80 ft); minimum daily, 210 cfs Jan. 14; minimum gage height, 2.37 ft July 12.

1912-59: Maximum discharge, 53,300 cfs Aug. 24, 1933 (gage height, 20.60 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 22,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 67 cfs Aug. 28, 

1949; minimum gage height, 1.51 ft Aug. 4, 5, 1936.

Flood of Oct. 9, 1903, reached a stage of 23.6 ft, from descriptions obtained in 

April 1939 from local residents who had experienced the flood (discharge, about 70,000 

cfs, from rating curve extended above 22,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting).

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect or shifting control, which 

 are~fair. Subsequent to September 1954, entire flow from 371 sq mi of drainage area 

controlled by Pepacton Reservoir (see p. 262). Part of flow diverted for municipal 

supply of city of New York. Remainder of flow (except for conservation releases and 

spill) impounded for release during periods of low flow in the lower Delaware River 

basin, as directed by the Delaware River Master. Records of chemical analyses for the 

water year 1959 are given in WSP 1641.

Location. Lat 41°27'40", long 74°45'25", on right bank 300 ft downstream from Rio hydroelectric plant of Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc., half a mile downstream from Falls 

Bush Kill, and 2$ miles upstream from mouth and Mongaup, Sullivan County.

Drainage area. 202 sq mi.

Records available. August 1939 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 625.05 ft above mean sea level (datum of 

Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc.). Prior to July 6, 1956, water-stage recorders at 

sites 25 ft upstream on Rio tailrace and 200 ft upstream on natural channel, at datum 

4.0 ft higher.

Average discharge. 20 years, 340 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 976 cfs June 2 (gage height, 4.58 ft); maximum 

daily, 872 cfs Oct. 29; minimum, 19 cfs Oct. 13, 14; minimum gage height, 0.39 ft 

Oct. 13.

Oct. 1, 1939.

Remarks. Records excellent except those below 100 cfs, which are good, ard those for 

periods of no gage-height record, which are fair. Entire flow completely regulated by 

Rio hydroelectric plant except for runoff from about 7 sq mi of drainage area below Rio 

Dam of Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc., and during periods of spill from Rio Reservoir. Plow also regulated by storage in Swinging Bridge and Toronto Reservoirs, and in 

Cliff Lake (see p. 262) and smaller reservoirs above station.

* Discharge measurement made on this day.

a No gage-height record; discharge estimated on basis of powerplant records.
DELAWARE RIVER BASIN 

4340. Delaware River at Port Jervls, N. Y. .

199

Location. Lat 41°22'20", long 74°41'50", on right bank 250 ft downstream from bridge oh 

U. S. Highways 6 and 209 at Port Jervls, Orange County, if miles upstream from Neverslnk 

River, and 6.5 miles downstream from Mongaup River.

Drainage area. 3.076 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1904 to September 1959.

J

. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 415.35 ft above mean sea level, dftum of 

929. Prior to June 20, 1914, chain gage at highway bridge 250 ft upstream at same 

datum operated by U. S. Weather Bureau. June 20, 1914, to Aug. 13, 1928, staff or chain 

gages at highway bridge 250 ft upstream at present datum.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 77.200 cfs Jan. 22 (gage height, 13.21 ft); minimum, 788 cfs Aug. 8 (gage height, 1.71 ft); minimum daily, 997 cfs July 26.

1904-59: Maximum discharge, 233,000 cfs Aug. 19, 1955 (gage height, 23.91 ft, from 

floodmark In gage house), from rating curve extended above 89,000 cfs on baslf of slopearea measurement of peak flow; minimum, 175 cfs Sept. 23, 1908 (gage height, 0.6 ft); 

minimum daily, 175 cfs Sept. 23, 1908.

Maximum discharge previously known, 205,000 cfs Oct. 10, 1903 (gage height, 23.1 ft, 

reported by U. S. Weather Bureau), from rating curve extended above 70,000 cfe by logarithmic plotting and velocity-area studies; maximum stage known, 25.5 ft Mar. 8, 1904 

(ice jam).

Remarks. Records good. Flow regulated by Lake Wallenpaupack, and by Toronto, Cliff Lake, 

and Swinging Bridge Reservoirs (see p. 262) and smaller reservoirs. Large divrnal fluctuations at medium and low flow caused by powerplants on tributary streams. Subsequent 

to September 1954, entire flow from 371 sq mi of drainage area controlled by Fepacton 

Reservoir (see p. 262). Part of flow diverted for municipal supply of city of Hew York. 

Remainder of flow (except for conservation releases and spill) impounded for release 

during periods of low flow in the lower Delaware River basin, as directed by the Delaware River Master. Records of chemical analyses, water temperatures, and suspended 

sediment loads for the water year 1959 are given in WSP 1641.

Revisions (water years).--WSP 756: Drainage area. WSP 1031: 1905-36.

half a mile downstream from Basher Kill, three-quarters of a mile southeast of Godeffroy, Orange County, 2 miles south of Cuddebackville, and 85 miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. 302 sq mi.

Hecords available. August to October 1903, August 1909 to April 1914 (gage heights and 

discharge measurements, also twice-daily figures of discharge for January 1911 to 

December 1912), and July 1937 to September 1959 in reports of Geological Survey. August to October 1903 and August 1909 to December 1913 in reports of State engineer and 

surveyor. August to October 1903 published as Navesink River at Godeffroy.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 459.66 ft above mean se? level (levels by 

Corps of Engineers). August to October 1903 staff gage at datum 0.98 ft higher. 

Aug. 22, 1909, to Jan. 21, 1910, staff gage and Aug. 1, 1910, to Apr. 30, 1914, chain 

gage, at present datum.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 3,530 cfs Apr. 3 (gage height, 6.45 ft); maximum gage height, 7.52 ft Jan. 22 (backwater from ice); minimum discharge, 42 cfs 

July 30; minimum gage height, 2.87 ft June 1.

1903, 1909-14, 1937-59: Maximum discharge, 33,000 cfs Aug. 19, 1955 (gage height, 

12.49 ft), from rating curve extended above 11,000 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow; practically no flow several times in July 1911.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for period of once-daily gage-height readings, 

which are good, and those for periods of ice effect or backwater from aquatic vegetation, which are fair. Subsequent to June 1953, entire flow from 91.8 sq mi of drainage 

area controlled by Neversink Reservoir (see p. 263). Part of flow diverted for municipal supply of city of New York. Remainder of flow (except for conservation releases 

and spilli impounded for release during periods of low flow in the lower Delaware 

River basin, as directed by the Delaware River Master. Prior to 19^9, diurnal fluctuations at low and medium flow caused by powerplant at Cuddebackville.

Revisions (water years). WSP 821; Drainage area. WSP1502: 1951(M).

4385. Delaware River at Montague, N. J.

Location. Lat 41°18'30", long 74°47'50", on right bank at downstream side of old bridge 

pier, 0.4 mile upstream from toll bridge at Montague, Sussex County, and three-quarters 

of a mile downstream from Saw Kill.

Drainage area. 3,480 sq mi.

Records available.--March 1936 to February 1940 (gage heights only, published as "at 

Milford, Pa."), February 1940 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 369.93 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. Prior to Feb. 9, 1940, wire-weight gage on upstream side of left span of bridge 

at datum 70 ft lower.

Average discharge.--19 years, 6,355 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 70,300 cfs Jan. 22 (gage height, 18.41 ft); minimum, 1,040 cfs July 27 (gage height, 4.48 ft); minimum daily, 1,160 cfs July 26.

1940-59: Maximum discharge, 250,000 cfs Aug. 19, 1955 {gage height, 35.15 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 90,000 cfs on basis of flood-routing study; minimum, 

382 cfs Aug. 24, 1954 (gage height, 3.83 ft); minimum daily, 412 cfs Aug. 23, 1954.

Maximum stage known, 35.5 ft Oct. 10, 1903 (present datum), from floodmark. Cage 

height of 28.45 ft (present datum) was observed Mar. 18, 1936 (discharge, 164,500 cfs, 

from present rating curve extended above 90,000 cfs).

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

regulated by Lake Wallenpaupack and by Pepacton, Swinging Bridge, Toronto, Cliff Lake, 

and Neversink Reservoirs (see p. 263) and smaller reservoirs. Diversion from Pepacton 

and Neversink Reservoirs (see p. 266). Diurnal fluctuation at medium and low flow 

caused by powerplants on tributary streams.

Rating tables, water year 1958-59, except periods of Ice effect (gage height, In

feet, and discharge, In cubic feet per second)

Records available. November 1949 to September 1952 (monthly elevations and contents), October 1952 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage Is at mean sea level (levels by Corps of 

Engineers).

Extremes. Maximum elevation during year, 1,168.7 ft Jan. 25 (contents, 9,070 acre-ft); minimum, 1,115.3 ft July 30 to Aug. 9, Sept. 27-29 (contents, 59 acre-ft).

1949-59: Maximum elevation, 1,183.6 ft Apr. 8, 1956 (contents, 16,810 acre-ft); minimum, 1,115.0 ft Aug. 31, 1953 (contents, 56 acre-ft).

Remarks. Reservoir is formed by concrete dam and rockfill dike, completed by Corps of Engineers in June 1950 for flood control; first used for flood regulation on Mar. 28, 

1950. Usable capacity, 33,550 acre-ft between elevations 1,115.0ft (sill of conduits) 

and 1,203.0 ft (crest of spillway). Dead storage, 56 acre-ft. Ploois are controlled 

by the operation of five gates. Water is stored during high flows aid released when 

downstream conditions warrant.

Cooperation. Capacity curve furnished by Corps of Engineers.

SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN 303

5085. Albright Creek at East Homer, N. Y.

Location. Lat 42°40'10", long 76°06'15", on left bank a quarter of a mile upstream from 

highway bridge in East Homer, Cortland County, and half a mile upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. 7.08 sq mi.

Records available. October 1938 to September 1959. Prior to October 1947, published as 

East Homer Creek at East Homer.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. 

Average discharge.--30 years (1939-59), 12.2 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 315 cfs Apr. 2; maximum gage height, 3.27 ft 

Jan. 22; minimum discharge, 0.050 cfs Sept. 13 (gage height, 0.58 ft).

1938-59: Maximum discharge, 787 cfs June 3, 1947, from rating curve extended above 

220 cfs by logarithmic plotting; maximum gage height, 3.80 ft Dec. 30, 1942, from graph 

based on outside-gage readings; no flow for part of Aug. 24, 1953, result of probable 

temporary interference upstream; minimum daily discharge, 0.030 cfs Aug. 6, 1955.

Remarks.--Records good except those for periods of ice effect, shifting control, or no 

gage-height record, which are fair. This station is operated in connection with a 

study of the effect of reforestation on streamflow. In addition to records of streamflow, records of precipitation, temperature, and ground-water levels are collected.

sea level (levels by Corps of Engineers).

Average discharge. 22 years, 34.1 cfs (adjusted for storage).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 998 cfs Jan. 23 (gage height, 3.46 ft); maximum 

gage height, 5.60 ft Jan. 21 (backwater from ice); minimum discharge, 0.6 cfs July 10 

(gage height, 0.57 ft), but may have been less during period of no gage-height record.

1937-59: Maximum discharge, 2,000 cfs Mar. 5, 1938, Pteb. 20, 1939; maximum gage 

height, 5.63 ft Feb. 19, 1939 (ice jam): practically no flow July 30, 1938, Sept. 30, 

1939 (result of construction operations).

Maximum discharge known, 4,820 cfs during flood of July 8, 9, 1935, by slope-area 

measurement.

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

which are fair. Since November 1939, flows above 500 cfs controlled by detention in 

Arkport Reservoir (see preceding page).

Location. --Lat 42°18'50", long 77°39'05", on right bank 235 ft upstream from Erie Railroad 

bridge in Hornell, Steuben County, 0.25 mile upstream from Crosby Creek, and 1.5 miles 

downstream from Canacadea Creek.

Drainage area.--159 sq mi.

Records available. August 1942 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 1,131.10 ft a^ove mean

sea level (Corps of Engineers bench mark).

Average discharge. 17 years, 162 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 4,200 cfs Jan. 21 (gage height, 8.67 ft); minimum, 12 cfs Sept. 7, but may have been less during period of partly obstructed intake. 

1942-59: Maximum discharge, 9,340 cfs May 26, 1943 (gage height, 13.30 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 3,700 cfs on basis of critical-depth measurement of peak 

flow; minimum, 7.4 cfs Sept. 13, 14, 1955.

Remarks. Records good except bhose for periods of partly obstructed intake or no gageheight record, which are fair. City of Hornell diverts an average of about 3.5 cfs for 

municipal supply from Carrington Creek, a tributary above station; sewage enters river 

below gage. Since November 1939, flood flows regulated by Arkport Reservoir (see p. 320',

1918-59: Maximum discharge, 41,100 cfs July 8, 1935 (gage height, 11.6 ft, from 

floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 11,000 cfs on basis of velocity-area and 

slope-area measurements of peak flow and by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 8 cfs 

Sept. 6, 7, 1934.

Remarks.--Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or backwater from

aquatic vegetation, which are fair. During each year a large part of flow from 45 sq mi 

of drainage area above Lake Lamoka Outlet and Mud Creek, at tributary above this station, 

is diverted into Keuka Lake (St. Lawrence River basin) for power development.

392 SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN

5715. Yellow Breeches Creek near Camp Hill, Pa.

Location.--Lat 40°13'30", long 76°53'50", on left bank 50 ft downstream from single span 

highway bridge, 150 ft downstream from Olmsted's milldam, 1 mile southeast of Camp 

Hill, Cumberland County, and 3.1 miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. 216 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1918 to December 1919, June 1954 to September 1959 in reports 

of Geological Survey. March 1909 to December 1919 in reports of Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania. Prior to June 1954, published as at Olmsted's Mill."

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 301.49 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. March 1909 to December 1919, chain gage at bridge 50 ft upstream at same datum.

Average discharge. 13 years (1910-16, 1917-19, 1954-59), 292 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 1,980 cfs Jan. 22 (gage heigtt, 6.36 ft); minimum, 54 cfs Sept. 21, 26 (gage height, 0.36 ft).

1909-19, 1954-59: Maximum discharge, 5,550 cfs Aug. 22, 1915 (gage height, 8.61 ft, 

from graph based on gage readings), from rating curve extended above 3,700 cfs; minimum, 31 cfs Aug. 2, 1954 (gage height, 0.31 ft); minimum daily, 79 cfs Aug. 2, 1954.

Flood of July 22, 1953, reached a stage of 9.4 ft, from floodmarks (discharge, 3,940 

cfs, from rating curve extended above 2,500 cfs).

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

record, which are fair. The Mechanicsburg Water Co. diverted water at a point about 

4 miles upstream from station for municipal water supply, equivalent to a mean discharge 

at station of 1.0 cfs. Some diurnal fluctuation at low flow caused by mill above 

station.

430 POTOMAC RIVER BASIN 

5990. Georges Creek at Franklin, Md.

Location. Lat 39C 29'38", long 79C 02'42", on right bank at Franklin, Allegany County, 

It miles upstream from Westernport and mouth.

Drainage area. 72.4 sq mi.

Records available. May 1905 to July 1906 (published as "at WesternporV), October 1929 

to September T959.

Sage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 958.96 ft above mean sea level (West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co. bench mark). May 4, 1905, to July 15, 1906, chain gage at 

bridge three-quarters of a mile downstream at different datum. Oct. 16, 1929, to 

Oct. 1, 1937, water-stage recorder at site 95 ft downstream at present datum.

Average discharge.--30 years (1929-59), 76.3 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 1,500 cfs Sept. 30 (gage height, 6.84 ft); minimum, 2.9 cfs Sept. 13-16 (gage height, 3.02 ft).

1905-6, 1929-59: Maximum discharge, 8,500 cfs Mar. 17, 1936 (gage height, 9.6 ft, 

site then in use), from rating curve extended above 2,000 cfs on basis of slope-area 

measurement of peak flow; minimum, 1,6 cfs Sept. 29 to Oct. 13, 1930.

Flood of Mar, 29, 1924, reached a stage of about 10 ft, from floodmarks, at site 

95 ft downstream.

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

once-daily staff-gage readings, which are fair. Records include about 0.5 cfs of 

sewage from city of Frostburg, which obtains its water supply from Big Piney Run(Monongahela River basin) and Savage River. A negligible discharge diverged above station 

by Frostburg Water Co. for municipal supplies of Eckhart and Welch Hill. Records include drainage from numerous active and abandoned coal mines.

Engineers Dench mark). May 6, 1905, to July 14, 1906, chain gage at highway bridge 

700 ft upstream at different datum. Oct. 18, 1929, to Mar. 17, 1936, water-stage recorder and Apr. 1, 1936, to Mar. 19, 1937, tape gage, at site 200 ft upstream at present datum.

Average discharge. 30 years (1929-59), 312 cfs.

Extreme s. Maximum discharge during year, 4,400 cfs Feb. 10 (gage height, 6.93 ft); minimum, 11 cfs Sept. 28.

1905-6, 1929-59: Maximum discharge, 38,100 cfs Mar. 17, 1936 (g<?ge height, 20.2 ft, 

from floodmarks at present site), from rating curve extended above 6,500 cfs on basis 

of slope-area measurements at gage heights 13.45 and 20.2 ft; minimum, 9 cfs Oct. 14, 

1930.

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

include drainage from numerous active and abandoned coal mines. Slight diurnal fluctuation at low flow caused by quarry upstream.

POTOMAC RIVER BASIN

6100. Potomac River at Paw Paw, W. Va.

Location.--Lat 39°32'13", long 78 0 27'28", on left bank 250 ft upstream from bridge on 

Maryland State Highway 51 at Paw Paw, Morgan County, and 3.3 miles downstream from 

Little Cacapon River.

Drainage area.--3 .109 sq mi.

Records available. October 1938 to September 1959.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 487.88 ft above mean sea level (Corps of 

Engineers bench mark). Prior to Mar. 25, 1939, wire-weight gage at bridge 250 ft downstream at same datum.

Average discharge. 21 years, 3,077 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 16,300 cfs June 3 (gage height, 13.93 ft); minimum, 189 cfs Sept. 28, 29.

1938-59: Maximum discharge, 111,000 cfs Oct. 16, 1942 (gage height, 38.36 ft); minimum, that of Sept. 28, 29, 1959.

Maximum stage known, 54.0 ft Mar. 18, 1936 (discharge, 240,000 cfs, from rating curve 

extended above 85,000 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow at site 

5 miles upstream at Okonoko).

Remarks.--Records excellent except those below 500 cfs, which are good, and those for 

periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, which are fair. Low flow affected by 

Stony River Reservoir (see p. 425) and, since December 1950, by Savage River Reservoir 

(see p. 428).

Hating table, water year 1958-59, except periods of Ice effect (gage 

height, in feet, and discharge, in cubic feet per second)

POTOMAC RIVER BASIN 453

6195. Antietam Creek near Sharpsburg, Md.

Location. Lat 39°27'01", long 77°43'52", on left bank 400 ft downstream from Burnside 

Bridge, 1 mile southeast of Sharpsburg, Washington County, and 4 miles upstream from 

mouth.

Drainage area. 281 sq mi.

Records available. June 1897 to August 1905, August 1928 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Concrete control since Mar. 29., 1934. Datura of gage is 

§11.00 ft above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912. June 24, 1897, to Aug. £5, 1905, 

staff gage a few hundred feet downstream from Middle Bridge, 1.2 miles upstream at 

datum about 12 ft higher. Aug. 21, 1928, to July 13, 1933, staff gage at Burnside 

Bridge at same datum.

Average discharge. 31 years (1928-59), 258 cfs (adjusted for inflow since 1934).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 1,080 cfs Jan. 22 (gage height, 4.58 ft); minimum, 32 cfs Jan. 6, result of freezeup; minimum daily, 61 cfs Sept. 28.

1928-59: Maximum discharge, 12,600 cfs July 20, 1956 (gage height, 16.73 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 4,300 cfs on basis of contracted-opening measuretrent of 

peak flow; minimum, 9.4 cfs Nov. 22, 1957, result of regulation caused by corstruction 

work above station; minimum daily, 50 cfs Sept. 29, 1930, Feb. 1, Oct. 4, 1921.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, which are fair. Plow slightly regulated by power-plant above station. Regulation 

greater prior to 1936. Since 1928, records include pumpage from Potomac River for municipal supply of Hagerstown. This water later enters Antietam Creek above station as 

sewage.

Revisions (water years). WSP 192: 1897-1905. WSP 726: Drainage area. WSP 1432: 

1929-31(M), 1933, 1935(M), 1937(M), 1949(M), 1952(M).

Catoctin Creek (Virginia) and 6 miles upstream from Monocacy River.

Drainage area. 9,651 sq ml.

Records available. February 1895 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage Is 200.54 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. Prior to Sept. 2, 1902, wire-weight gage on downstream side of bridge at datum 

about 0.45 ft higher. Sept. 2, 1902, to Oct. 28, 1929, chain gage at same site at 

present datum.

Average discharge.--63 years (1896-1959), 9,288 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 55,700 cfs June 4 (gage height, 11.80 ft); minimum, 768 cfs Sept. 27 (gage height, 0.52 ft).

1895-1959: Maximum discharge, 480,000 cfs Mar.>19, 1936 (gage height, 41.03 ft), 

from rating curve extended above 300,000 cfs on basis of adjustment of figure of peak 

flow at station near Washington for Inflow and storage, and slope-area measurement of 

peak flow; minimum, 540 cfs Sept. 10, 1914 (gage height, 0.38 ft).

Flood of June 2, 1889, reached a stage of 40.2 ft, from floodmarks (discharge, about 

460,000 cfs, from rating curve extended as explained above).

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

aTTected slightly since 1913 by Stony River Reservoir (see p. 425) and since December 

1950 by Savage River Reservoir (see p. 428).

* Discharge measurement made on this day.

Note. No gage-height record Dec. 10-18, Jan. 6-29 (stage-discharge relation probably affected by 

ice Dec. 12-17, Jan. 8-15, 15-20); discharge estimated on basis of records for station Et Bowling 

Green and South Anna River near Ashland.
500 DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES

As the number of streams on which streamflow information is likely to be desired far 

exceeds 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 collected 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 partialrecord station. Data collected at these partial-record stations are usable in low-flow or 

floodflow 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 for 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 is 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 

taDle.

Low-flow partial-record stations

Measurements of streamflow in the area covered by this report made at low-flow partialrecord 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 nearb;' stream where 

continuous records are available, will give a picture of the low-flow potentiality of 

stream. The column headed "Period of record" shows the water years in which measurements 

were made at the same, or practically the same, site.

520 DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES

Crest-stage partial-record stations

The following table contains annual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A 

crest-stage gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspections of the gage. A stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge 

measurements made by indirect measurements of peak flow or by current meter. The date of 

the maximum discharge is not always certain but is usually determined by comparison with 

nearby continuoua-record stations, weather records, or local inquiry. 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.
