COMPILATION OF RECORDS OF SURFACE WATERS OF 

THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BASIN, THROUGH 1950

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This volume is one of a series of reports presenting monthly and 

yearly summaries of streamflow and reservoir data collected by 

the Geological Survey. Included with these* data are some records 

furnished by other Federal, State, and private agencies.

The purpose of this series of reports is to make available in 

summarized form all the surface-water records collected up to 

September 30, 1950.

The first known streamflow records to be systematically collected in the United States are those for Eaton and Madison Brooks 

in Madison County, N. Y., by John B. Jervis during 1835. Stream 

gaging by the United States Geological Survey was begun in 1888. 

At that time the Congress authorized the Irrigation Survey to be 

conducted by the Geological Survey in connection with special 

studies relating to irrigation. The work consisted of the measurement of stage and discharge of a few streams in the West. Since 

that time the work has expanded so that measurements of stage 

and discharge of streams and of stage and contents of lakes and 

reservoirs have been made at more than 12, 000 gaging stations 

in the 48 states and the territories of Hawaii and Alaska, of which 

about 6,400 were in operation on September 30, 1950. The details 

of the records collected at those stations are contained in annual 

reports, bulletins, and water-supply papers, which have been 

issued usually on an annual basis. Most of the records collected 

over the years are found only in numerous individual volumes, 

many of which are out of print and difficult to obtain.

The records have been collected mainly in cooperation with 

State, municipal, and Federal agencies and published in annual reports by the Geological Survey. This series of compilation-reports 

has been prepared by the Geological Survey as a special project 

not included in the cooperative program.

2 COMPILATION OF SURFACE WATER RECORDS, PART 4

The data presented in this series of reports consist of records 

of discharge of streams and contents of reservoirs summarized on 

a monthly and yearly basis. Results of miscellaneous discharge 

measurements and, in general, stage records have been excluded. 

Also included are bar charts showing the period of record covered 

by each gaging station and a map of the area showing the location 

of each station (pi. I). The reports of this series are uniform in 

the type of data they contain and in the form, of presentation.

In compiling the data for these summary reports, one important 

feature of the project was to review the analyses and computations 

originally made on the basis of all information now available. For 

some stations additional base data, obtained subsequently, allowed 

for reinterpretation and recomputation of more accurate records 

of discharge. All records were examined for major computation 

errors and tested wherever possible by comparison with records 

of discharge at other stations and weather data. Records that were 

found to be in need of substantial revision were recomputed or 

omitted if revision was not feasible. Estimates of discharge were 

made to fill short gaps to complete the continuity of the record, 

whenever practical.

Records furnished by other agencies are incorporated in these 

reports when they supplement records collected by the Geological 

Survey, and appeared consistent and reliable. Furnished records 

were reviewed in the same manner as Geological Survey records 

whenever base data were available and detailed study was feasible.

STREAM-GAGING PROGRAM

The Geological Survey began to collect records ot streamflow 

in the area, covered b'y this report (fig. 1) in 1898 when gaging 

stations were established on several rivers in Ohio. The first 

observation of discharge recorded in the area was made in 1830 

by the U. S. Army on outlet of Hamilton Lake in Stuben County, 

Ohio (Captain Howard Stansbury, Report on Michigan and Wabash 

Canal, 1835). Other individuals, companies, state and federal 

organizations started to collect data usually at points where there 

were specific waterway, power, water-supply, or pollution problems.

The stream-gaging program in the St. Lawrence River basin 

has grown continuously since its inception. In 1900 the Geological 

Survey began a cooperative stream-gaging program with the State 

of New York. This was the forerunner of others which followed 

in Vermont, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, and 

Indiana. Participation by the States gave impetus to the expanding
DESCRIPTION OF DATA O

program and provided the principal source of funds to sustain the 

work during the early years.

The Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, as a result 

of congressional authorization to make a comprehensive report on 

the rivers in the United States, supported a considerable expansion 

of the stream-gaging work during 1928, and again in 1936 with the 

passage of the Flood Control Act. The initiation of these programs 

had a significant effect in advancing stream-gaging activities in 

the area.

Numerous municipal and private organizations have assisted 

the Geological Survey in the stream-gaging program, as have 

several bureaus of the Federal government. Details of the cooperation have been acknowledged in the annual water-supply 

papers.

DESCRIPTION OF DATA

The gaging-station records are arranged in downstream order. 

The order used in this report is the same as that adopted for use 

in the annual series of reports on surface-water supply beginning 

with the water year 1951. In this report, in a downstream direction 

along the main stem, all stations on a tributary entering above a 

main-stem station are listed before that station. If a tributary 

enters between two main-stem stations, it is listed between them. 

A similar order is followed in listing stations on first rank, second 

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

tributary on which a gaging station is situated and the stream to 

which it is immediately tributary, each indention in the listing of 

gaging stations in the bar chart (see p. 14) 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 listingused in the annual reports through the water 

year 1950 was different. In those reports all stations on the main 

stem are listed first in order, proceeding from the headwaters toward the mouth, then all stations on the uppermost tributary from 

its source to mouth, followed by all stations from source to mouth 

on the tributaries to the tributary.

The data presented for most of the gaging stations comprise a 

description of the station, tables of monthly discharge and runoff, 

and a yearly summary table. The station description gives the 

location of the gaging station, drainage area, supplemental records 

available (for some stations), types and datums of gages, average 

discharge, extremes of discharge, and general remarks concerning
4 COMPILATION OF SURFACE WATER RECORDS, PART 4

the data. When records were furnished by another agency the fact 

is so stated.

The location of the gaging stations and the drainage area are 

obtained from the best available maps. When more than one site 

was used and the difference in drainage areas is significant, the 

area for the latest site is shown first followed by the areas for other 

sites in chronological order. In some instances drainage-area 

figures have not been obtained because of the lack of suitable maps 

or because the boundaries cannot be defined or the effective drainage area determined.

For some stations a paragraph headed "Supplemental records 

available" gives reference to records other than those given in the 

present report. Such records may consist of gage-height records 

for periods other than those for which discharge records are presented, records concerning quality of the water, or the results of 

periodic discharge measurements.

The gage described first is the present gage or the one used most 

recently. Information is then given in chronological order for all 

gages used earlier, giving changes in location, type of gage, or 

datum. The location or datum of all earlier gages is given with 

reference to the present or most recently used gage. The datum

of the gage is the elevation of the zero of the gage above mean sea 

level. Where information as -to datum is not available, the altitude 

of the gage is given. This may be determined from topographic 

maps, river-profile surveys, barometric levels, or where nothing 

better is available, by estimates based on average fall between a 

known elevation and the gage or on other known factors. The degree 

of accuracy of an altitude determination is indicated by the source 

of the information and to some extent by the refinement to which 

the figure is given.

The average discharge for a station is the average of all complete water years and is published only if there are five or more 

complete water years of record. The years used to determine the 

average are not necessarily consecutive. The average discharge 

is not published for some stations because of extensive changes in 

diversion or storage, or other water development, that have occurred upstream.

In general, the momentary maximum and minimum discharges 

and stages for the entire period of record are published in the 

"Extremes" paragraph. These are qualified if necessary according 

to the type of gage used and the completeness of the record. Maximum and minimum discharges at nonrecording gaging stations are 

qualified as "observed" unless determined from a graph drawn
DESCRIPTION OF DATA 3

through actual gage heights which approximates the actual 

hydrograph.

Under "Remarks" information is given on factors which affect 

the basin yield and runoff characteristics. These include upstream 

regulation, diversion, and utilization a history of changes in these 

items is given when known. Also, references are made to the 

records of storage or diversion upstream, if published. When discharge records are furnished by another agency, credit is given 

under "Cooperation".

The streamflow data summarized in this paper are g'enerally 

contained in two monthly tables and one yearly table. The first 

monthly table is a tabulation of monthly and yearly mean discharge 

in cubic feet per second. These figures represent discharge passing the station; they are unadjusted for storage or diversion upstream. Each monthly figure is the mean flow for the entire month; 

generally no record for part of a month is tabulated. Likewise, 

each yearly figure is 'the mean flow for a full year, and no figure 

is shown for a partial year. Usually the months are arranged on a 

water-year basis. Exceptions to this rule are mad&dn connection 

with seasonal records wherein the months are grouped to give a 

complete season for each calendar year.

The second monthly table is a tabulation of monthly and yearly 

runoff, in inches. For streams that are subject to considerable 

regulation, the second table contains the adjusted runoff in inches. 

The table of runoff in inches is omitted if the data do not represent 

naturalyieldwithout a gross error, whether adjusted or unadjusted.

The third table contains a yearly summary of the streamflow 

data. The column headed "W. S. P, no. " lists the number of the 

water-supply paper or other publication in which the figures of 

daily and monthly discharge are published; for early years for 

which daily discharges were not published, that column lists the 

report that contains daily gage heights, rating tables, and monthly 

discharge. If a part of the record has been revised and published, 

then reference is made to both the original report and the one 

containing the revised record; if the daily discharge record for 

the entire year has been republished to include revisions, then 

only the later report is listed. For some stations the third table 

is omitted; however, the report containing records for any particular year can generally be found by reference to the tables given 

on p. 10,

In the third table the momentary maximum discharge for each 

water year and the date of its occurrence is given whenever obtainable. This is maximum discharge for the water year unless otherwise qualified. For nonrecording gage records, momentary max-
O COMPILATION OF SURFACE WATER RECORDS, PART. 4

imums were often obtained from graphs drawn through the gage 

readings. If a graph was not feasible, then the discharge was computed from the maximum gage height observed, provided it was 

believed to be of significant value. The momentary maximum discharge is given for some years for which the record, as shown in 

the first two tables, is incomplete. The maximum discharge when 

so given is believed to be representative of the absolute maximum 

of the water year and is not qualified in any way. Occasionally 

maximum daily discharges are tabulated, but only when it was not 

practicable to give momentary maximums and when figures may 

have general statistical value.

The minimum daily discharge for each water year is listed if 

known.

Other data listed in this table are the annual mean discharge 

and runoff for both the water year and the calendar year. The 

annual mean discharge listed for the water year is the same as 

that given in the yearly column in the first table.

Most canal and diversion records are given in a single table. 

There are some records for large canals, however, that are published in the same detail as those for streams. Records of

reservoirs also are given in a single table which shows the contents 

at the end of each month.

Figures of discharge that have been revised as the result of the 

review made in connection with this compilation are so noted; however, revisions that have been previously published are not indicated as revisions in this report. Revised daily discharges made 

in connection with this compilation will be published in a later 

annual water-supply paper. If only annual maximum discharges 

are revised and no revision of daily discharge is made for a station, 

revised annual maximums are given only in this report and will 

not be republished in a later annual report. Revisions of figures 

of runoff in inches resulting solely from a revision of the drainage 

area are not noted as such. Figures that represent corrections of 

typographical or computational errors where no figures of daily 

discharge have been revised or changed are indicated as "corrected" in this report. Estimates of discharge made to complete 

months or years for this report are noted as estimates and as 

"not previously published. "

For a few stations, after reviewing the past records, it was 

found that part of the previously published records was grossly in 

error, yet the base data were such that the record could not be 

improved or revised. For such stations a note listing the periods 

of record which have been discredited and not republished is given

period of record previously published has been discredited are 

omitted from this report. The following table lists the stations so 

omitted.

In addition to the above, records for some other stations in the 

area, previously published by the Geological Survey in the annual 

series of reports, are omitted from this compilation. In general, 

the records of such stations either are too fragmentary to allow 

computation of monthly mean discharge or are records that did not 

measure streamflow, total diversion, or return flow and were considered not important enough to warrant publication in this report. 

These stations are listed in the following table:

PUBLICATIONS

To facilitate publication of streamflow records, the area of the 

United States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide 

with certain natural drainage lines. Formerly, the annual series 

of water-supply papers .on the surface-water supply of the United 

States was published in 14 volumes, 1 for each of the 14 parts. 

Beginning with the reports for 1951, the records are published in 

18 volumes, including 2 volumes each for parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. 

This system is used in publishing the present series of compilation 

reports with the exception of part 11 which in published in 2 volumes 

for the compilation report series only. The boundaries of the 

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

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

Streamflow, a residual of precipitation after other demand shave 

been met, varies considerably from year to year. The mean annual discharge for three streams of long-term record are shown 

in figure 2. These streams have runoff characteristics that are 

generally representative of others in their particular locale.

Apr. 15, 1943, water-stage recorder at same site and datum thereafter. Datum of 

auxiliary gage is 683.08 ft above mean sea level (levels by Michigan Department of 

Conservation).

Average discharge. 8 years (1942-50), 112 cfs.

Extremes. 1942-50: Maximum discharge, 446 cfs June 29, 1943 (gage height, 4.76 ft, from 

graph based on gage readings); maximum gage height, 5.70 ft June 22, 25, 1943 (from 

graph based on gage readings); maximum reverse flow, 299 cfs Mar. 28, 1945; minimum 

gage height, 0.16 ft Sept. 1, 1942 (from graph based on gage readings).

Remarks. After July 2, 1948, Manistique Lake regulated by flashboards in timber dam half 

a mile below gage. Backwater from Fox River most of time; discharge computed using 

fall as determined by auxiliary gage as a factor. Occasionally during high stages of 

Fox River the flow at this station is reversed.

226. Huron River at Ann Arbor, Mien.I/

Location. Lat 42°17'10", long. 83°44'00", in NW£ sec. 28, T. 2 S., R. 6 E., on left bank 

100 ft upstream from bridge on Wall Street in Ann Arbor, three-quarters of a mile downstream from Argo Dam, and 4 miles upstream from Geddes Dam.

Drainage area. 711 sq mi. 737 sq mi (revised) prior to 1914 and 702 sq mi (revised) 

1914-47.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 744.81 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929 (levels by Michigan Department of Conservation). February 1904 to December 1914 

at Geddes Dam, 4 miles downstream and January 1914 to September 1947 at Barton Dam, 3 

miles upstream, headwater and tailwater gages.

Average discharge . 46 years (1904-50), 436 cfs.

Extremes. 1914-50: Maximum daily discharge 5,840 cfs Mar. 14, 1918; minimum daily, 4 

cfs Aug. 2, Sept. 11, 1931 (plant leakage) , but may be doubtful due to change in 

leakage.

Remarks.--Flow regulated by Barton, Argo, and Geddes Power Plants. Discharge prior to 

1948 determined by computation of flow through turbines, over dam, and/or through 

undersluices. Discharge measurements made in 1942 and 1944 indicated total leakage 

at Barton of 22 cfs and 18 cfs, respectively, casting some doubt on minimums and lowflow periods prior to 1948. The effect on most of the record, however, is probably 

small.

Cooperation. Records for 1904 furnished by L. E. Cooley, those for 1905-30 furnished by 

Gardner S. Williams, and those for 1931-47 furnished by Ayres, Lewis, Morris, and May.

highway bridge on Rockside Road, 1 mile northeast of Independence and 3 miles downstream from Tinkers Creek.

Drainage area. 709 sq mi.

Supplemental records available.--January to July 1906, gage heights and discharge measuremerits only. Records of chemical analyses and water temperatures for the period October 

1948 to September 1949 are published in reports of Geological Survey.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 584.14 ft above mean sea level (levels by 

city of Cleveland). Sept. 21, 1903, to July 21, 1906, chain gage at bridge 140 ft upstream at same datum. Sept. 28, 1921, to May 30, 1923, chain gage at bridge 140 ft 

upstream at datum 2.42 ft higher. Sept. 5 to Oct. 8, 1927, staff gage at present site 

and datum.

Average discharge. 19 years (1921-22, 1927-35, 1940-50), 698 cfs (not including flow in 

Ohio Canal).

Extremes.--1921-23, 1927-35, 1940-50: Maximum discharge, 12,600 cfs (revised) June 2, 

1947 (gage height, 19.07 ft); minimum, 14 cfs Nov. 30, 1930; minimum combined discharge 

of river and canal, 48 cfs Aug. 29, 1933.

Remarks. Diurnal fluctuation caused by power-plants above station. Flow slightly 

regulated by reservoirs and lakes above station. A small amount of water from 

Tuscarawas River is diverted into this basin at Portage Lakes. Water diverted into 

Ohio Canal at Brecksville, 6 miles above station, bypasses station; for records of 

canal flow, see Ohio Canal at Independence.

328. Canandaigua Lake at Canandaigua, N. Y.

Location.--Iflt 42°52'20", long. 77°16'20", at south end of City Pier at northern end of 

Canandaigua Lake, 1 mile southeast of Canandaigua, Ontario County.

Drainage area. 189 sq mi.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 680.76 ft above mean sea level (levels by 

(Torps of Engineers). Prior to June 26, 1946, staff gage at E. T. Waldorf's boathouse 

at same datum. December 1927 to November 1939, records collected by city of Canandaigua at site on west side of E. T. Waldorf's boathouse.

Remarks. Elevation of lake surface regulated by gates on east outlet and stoplogs on west 

outlet. West outlet, which usually carries most of lake outflow, is an artificial 

canal l£ miles long which discharges into Canandaigua Lake Outlet; spillway consists of 

permanent stoplog 9.8 ft long with top at gage height 3.2 ft extending across a masonry 

arch opening under roadway. East outlet is at head of natural outlet channel from 

lake; flow regulated above gage height of about 4.6 ft by two gates at highway bridge 

half a mile downstream. The city engineer of Canandaigua regulates storage in lake for 

Oswego River watershed Corp., Pulton, by operation of gates and stoplogs on outlets. 

Capacity of lake between gage height 3,2-and 9.2 ft, 2,772 million cu ft, on basis of 

water surface area of 16.57 sq mi. Contents prior to October 1945 not computed; accuracy of staff-gage readings uncertain because of wave action.

332. Seneca River at Baldwinsville, N. Y.

Location. lat 43°09 I 25", long. 76°19'55", on left bank 200 ft downstream from highway 

bridge in Baldwinsville, Onondaga County, and 400 ft downstream from navigation dam of 

New York State Barge Canal System.

Drainage area. 3.130 sq mi.

gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 362.60 ft above mean sea level (New York 

State Barge Canal datum). Auxiliary water-stage recorder on right bank 1,500 ft downstream from base gage. Prior to Dec. 31, 1908, staff gages on dam at same site at 

different datum; records not equivalent to later records at same site because of extensive development of Barge Canal system.

Average discharge. 9 years (1899-1908), 3,550 cfs.

Extremes. 1949-50: Maximum discharge (river channel only), 15,700 cfs Apr. 1, 1950 (gage 

heigfit, 8.50 ft); minimum daily discharge, 659 cfs Dec. 18, 1949.

Remarks. Discharge from 1898 to 1908 determined on basis of head on dam, flow through ten 

mills nearby, lockages at Oswego Canal lock, estimated leakage of dam, wheel gates, 

flumes, and penstocks; not adjusted for inflow from Lake Erie through Erie Canal. Discharge since November 1949, computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary waterstage recorder as a factor, represents total discharge at Baldwinsville and includes 

flow in Baldwin 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 river basin. Large diurnal fluctuations 

at low and medium flows by powerplants above station. Seneca River basin receives 

water from Erie division of Barge Canal through lock 32 near Pittsford. During part of 

year, entire flow from 45 sq mi of Mud Creek drainage area may be diverted from Chemung 

River basin into Keuka Lake in Oswego River basin.

Cooperation. Records of discharge for period January 1907 to December 1908 furnished by 

New yorK State engineer and surveyor. Records of lockages at lock 24 furnished by New 

York State Department of Public Works since November 1949.

dam of New York State Barge Canal system, 700 ft upstream from highway bridge In Caughdenoy, Oswego County, 0.5 mile downstream from Caughdenoy Creek, and 5 miles downstream from Onelda Lake.

Drainage area. 1,377 sqml; 1902-9, 1,433 sq ml (revised).

Gage . Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage Is 362.00 ft above mean sea level (New York 

[State Barge Canal benchmark). Prior to June 4, 1907, headwater readings and June 5, 

1907, to Dec. 31, 1909, staff-gage readings at Oak Orchard State Dam 6 miles downstream at different datum. Jan. 1, 1910, to Dec. 31, 1912, staff gage at present site 

at different datum.

Average discharge. 13 years (1902-12, 1947-50), 2,700 cfs.

Remarks. Jan. 1, 1910, to Dec. 31, 1912: Plow over dam computed on basis of coefficient 

determined for model of dam of same general type; flow through gate and diversion 

through lock culverts estimated by theoretical calculations.

1947-50: Record represents total discharge at Caughdenoy, including flow In Onelda 

and Barge Canals. A large amount of natural storage by Oneida Lake. Considerable 

seasonal regulation by operation of gates in Oneida and Barge Canals. Occasional large 

diurnal fluctuations cause by seiche in Onelda Lake. Water may be diverted Into or received from Mohawk River basin through summit level of Barge Canal between New London 

and Utica. Nearly all of flow from 16 sq mi of the Tioughnioga River basin may be diverted into DeRuyter Reservoir, in Oswego River basin.

Cooperation. Records for period 1907-12 furnished by New York State engineer and surveyor.Records of gate openings, lockages, and elevations of water surface in Barge 

Canal above and below lock 23, 1947-50, furnished by New York State Department of Public Works.

fi2Sn§!tre£esents total flow 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 river basin. large diurnal fluctuations 

at low and medium flows causld by powerplants above Ration Oswego River basin receives water from Erie division of Barge Canal through lock 32 near Pittsford. Water 

may be diverted into or received from Mohawk River basin through summit level of Barge 

Canal between New London and Utica. At times the entire flow from 45 sq mi of drainage 

area of Mud Creek may be diverted from Chemung River basin into-Kke Keuka in Oswego 

River basin. Nearly all of flow from 15.7 sq mi of the Tioughnioga River basin may be 

diverted into DeRuyter Reservoir, in Oswego River basin.

site and datum.

Average discharge. 34 years (1916-50), 1,692 cfs.

Extremes. 1916-50: Maximum discharge, 15,800 cfs Apr. 9, 1947 (gage height, 9.26 ft);

ST. LAWRENCE RIVER MAIN STEM

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

Location. Lat 44°42'05", long. 75°29'40", at Ogdensburg, N. Y. 

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

Gage. Basic gage located at lock 25 at Iroquois, Ontario. Auxiliary gages located at 

Prescott, Ont.; at lock 27 above Cardinal, Ont.; at lock 24 between Iroquois and 

Morrisburg, Ont.; and at lock 23 at Morrisburg, Ont. These are gages of the Canadian 

Hydrographic Service. Discharge in this reach of river is considered to be same as 

discharge at Ogdensburg, N. Y., which is directly opposite Prescott, Ont.

Average discharge. 90 years (June 1860 to September 1950), 240,000 cfs.

Extremes. 1917-50: Maximum daily discharge, 303,000 cfs June 15, July 30 1947; 

minimum daily, 139,000 cfs Feb. 7, 1936.

1860-1950: Maximum monthly discharge, 315,000 cfs May 1870; minimum monthly. 

154,000 cfs February 1936.

Remarks. Records do not include water diverted from Lake Michigan _, Illinois and

Michigan Canal during period of its operation prior to 1910, and by Chicago Sanitary 

and Ship Canal, operation of which began in 1900. They include water diverted into 

Lake Superior from Hudson Bay drainage by Long Lake Project, operation of which began 

in July 1939, and by Ogoki Project, operation of which began in July 1943. Diversions 

into Lake Superior amounted to less than one percent of the average St. Lawrence River 

discharge before July 1943, and since that time have averaged about 5,000 cfs.

These are the official records of the U. S. Lake Survey, Corps of Engineers, U. S. 

Army, which have been coordinated with and concurred in by the counterpart Canadian 

agencies. They supersede all previously published records for this station.

380. Raquette River at Massena Springs, M. Y.

Location. Lat 44°55'05", long. 74°53'20", near center of left span on upstream side of 

concrete highway bridge in Massena Springs, St. Lawrence County, 2 3/4 miles downstream from Plum Brook, 8 miles downstream from Raymondville, and 10 miles upstream 

from mouth.

Drainage area.--1,197 sq mi (revised).

Gage. Chain gage. Altitude of gage is 160 ft (from topographic map). Sept. 21, 1903, 

to Aug. 15, 1906, staff gage on upstream side of right abutment and Aug. 16, 1906, to 

Feb. 2, 1912, chain gage near center of right span on upstream side, at old highway 

bridge 50 ft upstream at datum 1.0 ft higher.

Average discharge. 11 years (1905-16), 2,110 cfs.

Extremes. 1905-16: Maximum discharge, 16,500 cfs Mar. 31, 1913 (gage height, 14.2 ft, 

from floodmark); minimum daily, 52 cfs Oct. 13, 1913.

Remarks. Low flow regulated by operation of several power-plants upstream. These plants 

usually run 24 hours a day but close on Sundays. The effect of this closing is 

noticeable for several days. Seasonal distribution of flow affected by controlled 

storage in numerous upstream lakes.

384 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER

419. Missisquoi River near Richford, Vt.

Location. Lat 44°57'30" ) long. 72°41'55", on left bank 1 2/3 miles upstream from Trout 

River, 3 miles south of Richford, Franklin County, and 3f miles downstream from North 

Branch.

Drainage area. 479 sq mi.

Supplemental records available.--May 24, 1909, to Dec. 3, 1910, gage heights only, at a 

site about 3 miles downstream. Due to extensive regulation and doubtful character of 

some of the gage-height data, discharges previously published for this period are not 

considered sufficiently accurate for publication in this report.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Altitude of gage is 410 ft (from topographic map). Prior 

Tib Aug. 1, 1915, chain gage at site a quarter of a mile downstream at datum 4,35 ft 

lower. Aug. 1, 1915, to Sept. 30, 1923, water-stage recorder at present site and 

datum. Oct. 1, 1928, to Sept. 30, 1929, chain gage at former site and datum 4.6 ft 

lower.

Average discharge. 34 years (1911-23, 1928-50), 912 cfs.

Extremes. 1911-83, 1928-50: Maximum discharge, 17,200 cfs May 4, 1940 (gage height, 

lfa.lt) ft), from rating curve extended above 9,300 cfs on basis of computation of flow 

over dam at gage height 14.70 ft, slope-area determination at gage height 12.90 ft, 

and study of discharge per foot of width at measuring section; maximum gage height, 

18.92 ft Mar. 15, 1946 (ice jam); minimum discharge observed, 8 cfs July 14, 1911. 

Maximum discharge known, 45,000 cfs during flood of November 1927 (gage height, 

23.1 ft, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 9,300 cfs by method explained above.

Remarks. Slight diurnal fluctuation at low flow. Regulation greater prior to 1934.
