SUfiFACE WATER SUPPLY OF THE GREAT BASEf, 19M;

AUTHORIZATION ANI> SCOPE OF WORK.

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

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1914.

The data presented in these reports Were collected by the United 

States Geological Survey under authority implied in the organic law 

(20 Stat. L., p. 394), which contains the following paragraph:

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

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

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies of 

water supply for irrigation. Since the fiscal year ending June 30, 

1895, successive sundry civil bills passed by Congress have carried 

the following item and appropriations:

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

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

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

In the execution of the work many private and State organizations 

have cooperated either by furnishing data or by assisting in collecting data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the first kind are 

made in connection with the description of each station affected; 

cooperation of the s0cond kind is acknowledged on page 16.

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

in the United States and also at many points in small areas in Sewdrdi 

Peninsula and the Tukon-Tanana region, Alaska, and the Hawanto 

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

by the Survey and the cooperating organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at other points. In eon9

nection with, this work data were also collected in regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, river profiles, and water 

power in many sections of the country afrd will be made available in 

water-supply papers from time to time. Information in regard to 

publications relating to water resources is presented in the appendix

to this report. *

DEFINITION OF TERMS.

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

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

into two groups (1) those that represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and discharge in secondfeet per square mile, and (2) those that represent the actual quantity 

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

cubic feet. The principal terms used in this series of reports are 

second-feet, second-feet per square mile, run-off in inches, acre-feet, 

and millions of cubic feet. They may be defined as follows:

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

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

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

velocity of-i foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental 

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

in the tables of convenient equivalents (p. 11).

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

feet of water flowing per second from each] square mile of area drained, 

on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both 

as regards time and area.

"Run-off depth in inches" is the depth to which an area would be 

covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were uniformly distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off 

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

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

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

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

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

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

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

gage height to discharge."

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

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

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

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

stages.
The i( point of zero flow" for a gaging station is that point 

gage the gage height to which the surface of the river m>u 

if there were no flow.

EXPLANATION OF DATA.

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning Octobe* 

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

in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in the preceding three months is stored as ground water, in the form of snow or 

ice, or in ponds, lakes, and swamps, and this stored water passes Off 

in the streams during the spring break-up. At the end of September; 

on the other hand, the only stored water available for run-off B 

possibly' a small quantity in the ground; therefore the run-off for ti^e 

year beginning October 1 is practically .all derived from 

within that year.
.14 ' SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1914, PAET X.

The base data collected at gaging stations (PL I, B) consist of 

records of stage, measurements of discharge, and general information 

used to supplement the gage heights and discharge measurements in 

determining the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either 

from direct readings on a staff gage or from a water-stage recorder 

(PL II) that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter by the general 

methods outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of river 

discharge. ' ' x

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

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

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

and yearly mean discharge is determined.

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

this report comprise a description of the station, a table giving results 

of discharge measurements, a table showing the daily discharge of 

the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off.

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

tables giving daily gage heights and results of discharge measurements are published.

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements 

regarding location and equipment, information in regard to any conditions that may affect the constancy of the discharge relation, covering such subjects as the occurrence of ice, the use of the stream for 

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

flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and minimum 

recorded stages, and the accuracy of "the records. ,

The table of daily discharge in general gives the discharge in 

second-feet corresponding to the mean of the gage heights read each 

day. At stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal 

fluctuation the discharge obtained from the rating table and the 

mean daily gage height may not be the true mean, discharge for" the 

day. If such stations are equipped with water-stage recorders the 

mean daily discharge may be obtained by weighting discharge for 

parts of the day,

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

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

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

indicate correctly the stage when the water surface was at. crest 

height and the corresponding discharge was consequently larger than. 

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

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

the mean gage height was lowest, TKe column headed " Mean "id

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

this average flow computations recorded in the i-entaining' steams 

which are denned on page 10, are based. :

ACCURACY OF FEEItD DATA AND COMPUTED RESTOTS.

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

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

obserration of stage, measurements of flow, and interpretation of 

records.

Footnotes added to the daily-discharge tables give information 

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

accuracy column is inserted in the monthly discharge table. For 

the rating tables, "weE denned" indicates that the rating is probably 

accurate within 5 per cent; "fairly well denned," within 10 per 

cent; "poorly denned" or "approximate" within 15 to 25 per cent. 

These notes are very general and are based on the plotting of the 

individual measurements with reference to .the mean rating curve.

The letter in the column headed "Accuracy," in the table showing 

monthly discharge, rates the accuracy of the monthly mean and not 

that of the estimate of maxunum or minimum discharge or the discharge for any one day. The rating is determined by considering 

the accuracy of the rating curve, the probable reliability of the 

observer, the number of gage readings per day, the range of the 

fluctuation in stage, and local conditions. In this column, A indicates that the mean monthly flow is probably accurate within 5 per 

cent; B, within 10'per cent; C, within 15 per cent; D, within 25 per 

cent. Special conditions are covered by footnotes.

The monthly means for any station may represent with high accu- 

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

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

may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of lajge nonr 

contributing districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of 

information concerning water diverted for irrigation or other use, 

or by inability to interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the 

flow of the river above the station. "Second-feet per square mile'7 

and "Run-off (depth in inches)" are therefore not computed if such 

errors appear probable. The computations are also omitted for 

stations oh streams draining areas in which the annual rainfall is 

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

mite" and "run-off (depth in inches)" previously published by tfee 

Sujvejr should be used with caution, because ,of possible .inherent 

soiirees of error not known to the Survey. - The table of monthly discharge gives only a general idea of tb^B 

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

BEAR RIVER BASIN. 

Bear River near Evanston, "Wyo.

LOCATION. In sec. 1, T. 15 N., R. 121 W., 300 feet above highway bridge, half a mile 

above a small stream entering from the southwest, and 3J miles northwest of 

Evanston.

DRAINAGE AREA. Not measured.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 26, 1913, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Chain gage fastened to a cantilever arm 300 feet above bridge; read morning 

and evening by Mrs. Marion McClure.

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

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. One channel except at stages above gage height 5.0 feet, 

when stream spreads over the valley and flows in several channels; bed composed 

of coarse gravel, apparently permanent.

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation seriously affected by ice; observations discontinued.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 5.9 feet at 7 p. m. 

May 24 (discharge, 2,480 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.97 foot at 

6.30 p. m. September 8 (discharge, 26 second-feet). Actual minimum may occur 

during winter months.

DIVERSIONS. Prior to July 1, 1914, there were adjudicated diversions of 753 secondfeet from Bear River in Wyoming. It is not. known what proportion of this 

amount is diverted above the station.

ACCURACY. Results good except for extreme flood stages, when overflow occurs. 

Eating curve well defined below point of overflow and control probably permanent.

a. m. May 26 (discharge 3,450 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 4.23 feet 

at 11 a. m. December 23 (discharge indeterminate, as minimum stage occurred 

during period in which discharge relation was seriously affected by ice.)

DIVERSIONS. Station is above all main diversions.

ACCURACY. Records considered good, particularly those obtained since installation 

of water-stage recorder. Rating curve fairly well defined.

COOPERATION. Equipment installed by the Utah Power & Light Co., which furnished also the gage-height record and most of the discharge measurements.

SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1914, PART X.

Bear River at Dingle, I<lalM>. -../.<- ll

LOCATION. In sec. 7, T. 14 S., R. 45 E., about half a mile southeast of Dingle railway 

station and 100 yards south of the Oregon Short Line tracks; about 10 miles above 

outlet of Bear Lake.

DRAINAGE AREA. 2,890 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 9, 1903, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Inclined staff on right bank.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS . Made from cable about 100 feet below gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND C9NTROL. Stream bed composed of gravel, shifts somewhat; both banks 

high and not subject to overflow.

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation seriously affected by ice from about December to 

March; flow estimated from frequent discharge measurements, observer's notes, 

and records of precipitation and temperature.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 8.4 feet at 5 p. m. 

May 25 (discharge, 3,560 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 4.1 feet at 10.15 

a.m. November 30 (discharge, 194 second-feet; discharge fell below 194 second-feet 

at times during the winter, as indicated by measurement Dec. 22, when, at gage 

height 4.49 feet, the discharge was 183 second-feet).

DIVERSIONS. The diversion channel known as the Telluride canal, constructed by the 

Utah Power & Light Co., diverts water into Bear Lake from sec. 17, T. 14 S., 

R. 44 E., about 1J miles above station; new diversion canal heads belowthe station, 

but was not used in 1914; no accurate records of amount of water carried are available; the water is returned to the river in sec. 30, T. 12 S., R. 44 E., about 12 miles 

below Dingle. The Pegleg, Dingle, and Preston-Montpelier irrigation canals also 

divert water around the station.

ACCURACY. Results considered good; open-water rating curves well defined; reliable 

-estimates of winter discharge assured by frequent measurements.

COOPERATION. Results of discharge measurements furnished by Utah Power & 

Light Co.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Composed of large rocks and gravel; seems Jo shift slightly 

within reasonably well denned limits.

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation seriously affected by ice; flow determined entirely from discharge measurements.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 9.5 feet May 27 

and morning of May 28 (discharge, 3,940 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 

5.35 feet December 4 (discharge indeterminate during period when discharge 

relation was affected by ice).

DIVERSIONS. Water diverted by the Utah Power & Light Co. and stored in Bear 

Lake is returned to the river about 30 miles above station. Water is diverted 

for irrigation in the valley above and for the Last Chance Canal about 3 miles 

below the station.

ACCURACY. Results good for most of the year; winter estimates probably reliable^ 

owing to frequent measurements.

COOPERATION. Equipment installed and gage-height record and frequent discharge 

measurements furnished by the Utah Power & Light Co.

Report of the Idaho State Engineer,
26 SURFACE WATEB SUPPLY, 1914, PAET X.

Bear River near Preston, Malio.

LOCATION. In sec. 9, T. 15 S., R. 39 E., at O. M. Seamen's ranch just below the 

Battle Creek bridge, about half a mile above mouth of Battle Creek and 4f 

miles northwest of Preston.

DRAINAGE AREA. 4,500 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 11, 1889, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Inclined staff at barn on right bank, 200 feet below cable, 500 feet below 

highway bridge, April 3, 1909, to .June 20, 1914; former inclined staff gage about 

50 feet below bridge, on left bank, repaired and used July 6 to September 30, 

1914. Vertical staff attached to pile of highway bridge used October 11, 1889, 

to August 3, 1899; weir gage August 4, 1899, to October 30, 1903. Temporary 

vertical staff attached to pile of bridge, used October 31, 1903, to December 17, 

1904; inclined staff on left bank about 50 feet below bridge, December 18, 1904, 

to April 3, 1909. All gages were set to read approximately the same.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable about 300 feet below highway bridge. 

Conditions when discharge is less than 1,000 second-feet only fair.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Composed of gravel; shifted materially-in 1914.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 4.8 feet May 26, 

27, and morning of May 28 (discharge, 4,920 second-feet); actual minimum indeterminate, as water fell below the gage on several days in January, February, 

and March, owing to operations of the Utah Power & Light Co.

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice except occasionally 

for short periods.

DIVERSIONS. The Last Chance, West Cache, and several other canals divert water 

- between this station and that at Alexander.

REGULATION. Flow affected somewhat by operation of the power plant at Oneida' 

Narrows, and by pondage and release of water at Bear Lake, Idaho.

ACCURACY. Results good.

COOPERATION. Occasional discharge measurements furnished by -Utah Power & 

Light Co.

NOTE. Discharge determined as follows: Oct. 1 to May 27 and June 12 to Sept. 30, from two fairly well 

defiaed rating curves; May 28 to June 11, by indirect method for shifting channels. Discharge relation 

affected by ice Dec. 10-11 and 20-31. Discharge estimated, for days o; no gage-height record, as follows: 

Jan, 18-20,750 second-feet; Jan. 27-30, 500 second-feet; Feb. 16-18, 501 second-feet; also for other short 

periods in December. January, February, and March. Flow regulate d by construction work of Utah 

Fewer & Light Co. at Oneida Narrows on several daysin January, Fe) ruary, and March; discharge estimated on these days is only approximate.

Bear Elver near Collinstan, TJtalu i

LOCATION. In the W. i sec. 34, T. 13 N., R. 2 W., about a quarter of a mile.bdbw 

power plant of Utah Power & light Co., at railroad siding called Wheelon, 4:miles 

north of Collinston. little Malad River enters about 20 miles below the station.

DRAINAGE AREA. 6,000 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. July 1, 1889, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Friez water-stage recorder on left'bank about 12 feet above cable, November 

8, 1913, to September 30, 1914; inclined staff on right bank February 10, 1905, 

to November 7, 1913; original gage, iron bar bolted to cantilever, July 1, 1889,, 

to February 10, 1905; all gages established at same datum.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Gravel and sand; fairly permanent but shifting occasionally 

during high water.

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

curves generally used.

DIVERSIONS. West Side and Hammond canals divert water on both sides of Beat 

River canyon about 2 miles above station; either canal can be used to furnish 

water to the power plant, below which the water is carried south and west fof 

^-irrigation. \

REGULATION. Results not appreciably affected by artificial regulation above or 

below the station, though some variation in daily flow is occasionally caused by 

operation of the power plant just above.

ACCURACY. Results excellent; rating curve well defined; gage-height record continuous.

COOPERATION. Gage inspected by Utah Power & Light Co.

Georgetown Creels near Georgetown, Idalio. ,; ,

LOCATION. In sec.4, T. US., R. 44 E., 50 feet below power house of Bear Lake Power 

Co., 3 miles northeast of Georgetown post office and 4 miles from Georgetown 

railway station.

DRAINAGE AREA. 22 square miles (Forest Service records).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 23, 1911, to September 30, 1914, when station was 

discontinued.

GAGE. Vertical staff on right bank.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Rocky; fairly permanent; discharge relation at times 

affected by moss and brush.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 1.57 feet May 21, 

1914 (discharge estimated at 100 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.95 foot 

October 7, 1913 (discharge, 23 second-feet). Gage-height record too fragmentary 

for true determinations of extremes of stage.

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice, as station is immediately below power house; open-channel rating curves used.

DIVERSIONS. Practically all diversions for irrigation are made below station.

REGULATION. Pondage available at power plant is negligible; flow probably affected 

somewhat by operation of plant.

ACCURACY. Results poor; gage readings infrequent and irregular and rating curves 

poorly denned.

COOPERATION. Gage readings furnished by United States Forest Service; occasional 

discharge measurements also furnished by United States Forest Service and the 

Utah Power & Light Co.

Logan River atoove State aam, near Logan, Utali.

LOCATION In sec. 36, T, 12 N., R. 1 E., at the plant of the Utah Power^ & Light Co., 

150 feet above the confluence of the power-plant tailrace with the main river, 

about 2J miles above Logan,

DRAINAGE ARE A . Not measured.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 7, 1913, to September 30, 1914; at old station one-fourth 

mile downstream, June 1, 1896, to December 31, 1912; flow at station plus that 

of power-plant tailrace. is comparable to that at the old station.

GAGE. Stevens water-stage recorder on right bank 50 feet below power plant.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made by wading or from cable 100 feet upstream from 

gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Gravel and bowlders; one channel at all stages; a concrete 

wall, 12 inches wide, built across the stream bed just below the gage, forms a

9 permanent control. Point of zero flow at gage height 0.5 foot.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum'discharge recorded during year 1,200 secondfeet June 4, 1914 (gage not working; discharge estimated by comparison with 

records of lower station and Utah Power & Light Co. tailrace); minimum stage 

recorded, 0.80 foot September 27 to October 2 (discharge, 13 second-feet).

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation not affected by ice. Winter records represent 

flow from seepage and springs, as the Utah Power & Light Co. diverts practically 

all the water in the stream at its canafheading.

DIVERSIONS. The Logan, Hyde Park, and Smithfield canal and the canal of the 

Utah Power & Light Go. divert water from the river several miles above the station. The city of Logan also has a municipal power plant about 4 miles upstream, 

but the water is returned to the river above the diversion of the Utah Power & 

Light Co. " ' ,

REGULATION. Some diurnal fluctuation is caused at times by the operation of the 

power plants.

ACCURACY. Results considered excellent because of continuous gage-height record 

and well-defined rating curve.

COOPERATION. Gage inspected by Utah Power & Light Co.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable after May 2, 1914; prior to that date

from highway bridge at gage. 

CHANNEL AND CONTKOL. One channel, straight for about 150 feet above and below

gage, with high, clean banks; stream bed is composed of clay and hardpan and is

probably permanent. i 

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation not affected by ice, though Jce forms along the

shores at times.

DIVEBSIONS. None above station; nearest diversion is about 6 miles below. 

REGULATION. During the irrigation season, when natural flow of river is inadequate,

water is pumped into it from Utah Lake. A pumping plant with a capacity of

800 cubic feet per second was installed at the outlet of the lake, 800 feet above

gage, by various canal companies interested in the stream. 

ACCURACY. Results excellent, as rating curves are well defined. , 

COOPERATION. Gage heights furnished by the city engineer of Salt Lake City.

other for the remaining period, except July 1-13; change in rating due to changes in the crest boards in 

Some below gage.

Gage washed out by Hatchtown reservoir flood May 26; canal practically dry from that time until June 25. 

when gage was replaced. Canal bank broke directly at the gage on July 1, and discharge July 1-9 is based 

on meter measurements below gage and notes by the water master; estimated as 25 second-feet July 3-9. 

Canal broke again below the gage July 10 and was dry from then until Aug. 4.

ISO SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, WA, PART X.

SAN PITCH RIVER NEAR GUNNISON, UTAH.

LOCATION. In the NW. J SW. J sec. 13, T. 19 S., R. 1W., about a fifth of a mile below 

a small diversion dam, half a mile above confluence with Sevier River, and 3 

miles west of Gunnison.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 886 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. February 21, 1912, to September 30, 1914. June 30, 1900, to 

December 31, 1905, at a point about 4 miles northeast of Gunnison.

GAGE. Stevens water-stage recorder on right bank, at new datum, May 18 to September 30, 1914; vertical staff on left bank about one-fifth mile below the small 

diversion dam, February 21,1912, to May 17,1914; read once a day by L. H. Lund.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable about 10 feet below gage, from bridge 

just below gage, or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed composed of sand and gravel; shifting; right bank is 

high but left is low and likely to overflow.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 4.22 feet at 3 a. m., 

June 2 (discharge, 591 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 1.64 feet at 3 a.m., 

September 28 (discharge, 3.0 second-feet).

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation seriously affected by ice; flow estimated from discharge measurements, observer's notes, and records of precipitation and temperature. Ice forms in layers at this station, the water flowing between, as a result 

of alternate flooding and freezing. Estimates approximate.

DIVERSIONS. In years of normal flow practically all the water of this stream is used 

for irrigation in the San Pete Valley and in the vicinity of Gunnison. Winter 

and spring run-off is stored in the Gunnison reservoir, about 7 miles above Gunnison. At times part of the water flowing past the gage is waste from the KearnsRobbins (Fayette) canal (diverting from Sevier River), which crosses the San 

Pitch about half a mile above the gage.

REGULATION. Flow controlled by Gunnison reservoir. See Diversions.

ACCURACY. Records fair from March to September; winter records poor owing to 

effects of ice and an unreliable gage-height record.

GAGE. Vertical staff fastened to a pile in channel at downstream side of bridge. The 

high water January 27-29, 1914, raised the pier to which the gage was fastened 

1.83 feet; gage has not been reset.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable about 1,000 feet below bridge or by 

wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. One channel at low water, three or more channels during 

floods; bed is composed of sand and shifts somewhat.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year estimated at 11.8 feet January 28 (discharge estimated at 1,920 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 2.3 

feet November 13 (discharge, 7 second-feet).

1909-1914: Maximum stage recorded, 10.6 feet (referred to datum 1.83 feet lower 

than that of gage used after January 28,1914), July 7,1909 (discharge, 2,060 secondfeet); minimum stage recorded, 2.6 feet June 27 to July 4 and July 12 to 19,1913 

(discharge, 6 second-feet).

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation probably not affected by ice, though shore ice 

sometimes forms at the station.

DIVERSIONS. The Los Angeles Aqueduct, which has its intake above the station, was 

formally opened February 13,1913.

ACCURACY. Results good; range of stage well .covered but measurements plot a little 

scatteringly.

COOPERATION. Gage heights and discharge measurements furnished by the city of 

Los Angeles.

HUMBOLDT EIVER BASIN. 

Humtooldt Kiver at Palisade, Nev.

LOCATION. In sec. 36, T. 32 N., R. 51 E., at highway bridge at Palisade, 100 feet 

below Southern Pacific Railroad bridge, about a mile above mouth of Pine Creek.

DRAINAGE AREA. 5,010 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. November 27, 1902, to October 19, 1906; July 26, 1911, to 

September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Chain-gage at highway bridge, installed December 1, 1911; datum same as 

that of inclined staff on left bank near Southern Pacific Railroad bridge, read 

from July 26, 1911, to that date. Original gage was a vertical staff on right abutment of the highway bridge, which was destroyed by high water in 1910. Gage 

installed in 1911 at different datum.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable about one-eighth mile above gage or 

by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed composed of sand and gravel; fairly permanent.

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice.

DIVERSIONS . Some water diverted for irrigation above.

REGULATION. Mow practically not affected by storage and only slightly by irrigation diversions above.

ACCURACY. Results good.

WARNER LAKES BASIN.

TWENTYMILE CREEK NEAR WARNER LAKE, OREG.

LOCATION. In sec. 24, T. 40 S., E. 23 E., one-fourth mile above highway bridge at 

mouth of canyon, about 2 miles south of Warner Lake post-office, Lake County; 

below all tributaries.

DRAINAGE AREA. 126 square miles (measured on topographic maps). The total 

drainage area is 169 square miles, but an area of 43 square miles tributary to Cowhead Lake contributed no water to Twentymile Creek from about June 1, 1911, 

until the spring of 1914, and probably very little in 1914.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. March 1, 1910, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Barrett & Lawrence water-stage recorder, temporarily installed, used 

March 31 to July 20; vertical staff on right bank, read daily January 1-6, twice 

daily March 1-20 (except March 6, 12, and 17, when several readings were made 

each day), and weekly at other times; Emily Houston, observer. The gage installed March 1, 1910, was at the bridge, but as the gage heights were affected by 

backwater from a dam below it was removed to the present site June 3, 1910. 

Gage readings 1912-1914 are referred to a datum 0.32 foot lower than that used in 

1910 and 1911.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from the highway bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed composed of boulders and gravel; probably shifts 

slightly; banks do not overflow. Control is a solid rock reef, broken by crevices; 

obstructions piled on control occasionally change the discharge relation. Point 

of zero flow, gage height 0.2 foot ±0.2.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year, 6.5 feet during night of 

March 6, as noted by observer from high-water mark on gage (discharge, 1,140 

second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.40 foot, August 18 and 27 (discharge, 

3.0 second-feet).

WINTER PLOW. Ice forms in the stream but seldom at the control; discharge felation 

not seriously affected by ice; open-channel rating curve assumed applicable.

DIVERSIONS. Some bottom land is irrigated along Fifteenmile and Twelvemile 

creeks, and along Eightmile Creek a tributary of Cowhead Lake. Two small 

ditches take out just above the station. There is also a ditch which diverts 

from the head of Twelvemile Creek into Lake Anne, a small storage reservoir in 

the north end of Surprise Valley.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. Results excellent for period during which water-stage recorder was in 

operation as control is permanent and curve well defined; fair during other 

periods on account of diurnal fluctuation at high stages and lack of daily readings 

at low water.

DEEP CREEK AT BIG VALLEY, NEAR LAKEVIEW, OREG.

LOCATION. In sec. 4, T. 40 S., R. 22 E., near the dam site foe the proposed Big Valley 

reservoir, 8 miles above mouth of Camas Creek, 9 miles from Mud Creek stage 

station, and 12 miles east of Lakeview, Lake County. -

DRAINAGE AREA. Not measured.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 3, 1911, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Stevens "water-stage recorder on right bank, 100 feet above cable, since March 

26, 1914; Barrett and Lawrence water-stage recorder, December, 1911, to March 

25, 1914; original staff gage about one-fourth mile below the recorder was read 

until December, 1911, and then as a reference gage for the recorder until May 

28, 1912; a staff gage at the cable was used as a reference gage from May 28 to 

August 21, 1912. Since August 22, 1912, a staff gage on the stilling well of the 

water-stage recorder has been used as a reference gage. Gage heights for 1912 

prior to August 22 have been referred to the cable gage by means of comparative

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable about 100 feet below gage or by

wading. 

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed at gage and cable composed of gravel and sand; banks

overflow at high stages for a short distance each side of main channel. Control

is of rock and firm gravel and is practically permanent. 

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum gage height during year from water-stage

recorder 4.68 feet at 12 m. April 15 (discharge, 663 second-feet); minimum stage

recorded, 0.43 foot September 3-5 (discharge, 7.4 second-feet). 

WINTER FLOW. Stream freezes over at gage, but probably not at control; discharge

relation practically unaffected. 

DIVERSIONS. A large area of wild hay land, perhaps 2,000 acres, is irrigated in Big

Valley above the station by natural flooding in the spring and from ditches during

the summer. 

REGULATION. None. 

ACCURACY. Results good except for periods in which recording gage was not "working

DEEP CHEEK AT ADEL, OBEG.

LOCATION. In the SE. i sec. 21, T. 39 S., R. 24 E., just back of Wible's Hotel at 

Adei, Lake County, about one-eighth mile upstream from wagon bridge crossing 

the creek; below all tributaries.

DRAINAGE AREA. 260 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 11, 1909, to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Barrett and Lawrence water-stage recorder after June 20, 1914; Friez waterstage recorder March 10 to June 19; vertical staff in two sections on left bank 

above a series of rapids, read twice daily from May 11,1909, to March 9,1914, by 

Myrtle Wible. Datum unchanged since 1913; from 1909 to 1912 the gage apparently rose gradually 0.11 foot and was not corrected.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from wagon bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed of stream composed of gravel and boulders; probably 

permanent except for slight shifts affecting only low water; banks overflow at 

both, gage and bridge in extreme floods. Point of zero flow, gage height 

2.0 feet ± 0.1 foot.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 5.9 feet at 8.30 

p. m. March 7 (discharge, 1,340 second-feet); stage may have been higher during 

the night; 5.9 feet was again reached at 11 a. m. May 10, as indicated by the 

water-stage recorder5 minimum stage recorded, 2.42 feet August 25 (discharge, 

4.4 second-feet).

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation occasionally affected by ice jams, but control 

generally remains open.

DIVERSIONS. Several small ditches divert water for irrigation near headwaters of 

stream, and two or three thousand acres of land are watered by natural flooding 

near Big Valley and Crane Lake, but much of the water is probably returned to 

the stream. The most important diversions are five ditches that have a total 

capacity of about 30 second-feet and take out within 2 miles above the gage, 

near the mouth of Deep Creek canyon. The M. C. ditch, with a capacity of 

about 200 second-feet, takes out about one-eighth mile below the gage. Frequent discharge measurements were made of these ditches during part of the 

irrigation season of 1914 (see pp. 298-299), and estimates of monthly discharge 

are presented herewith.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. Rating curve well defined; results good except for periods of extreme low 

water. Accuracy was affected somewhat by diurnal fluctuations during spring 

floods prior to 1914.

WINTER FLOW. Stream does not run until spring thaws commence. 

DIVERSIONS. Entire flow of the creek during February was diverted, above the 

station into a reservoir a short distance east of the stream; capacity of reservoir 

is about 1,000 acre-feet, and it became filled about midnight, Eebruary 2S, ,after 

which time all the water passed down the creek. ; ' 

ACCURACY. Results apparently good; practically no diurnal fluctuation at gage.

274 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1914, PART X.

HONEY CREEK NEAR PLUSH, OREG.

LOCATION. In the SW. i sec. 20, T. 36 S., R. 24 E., half a mile above th^mottth 

of the canyon, 1 mile above the wagon bridge near Plush, and 1J miles northwest of Plush, Lake County; below all tributaries.

DRAINAGE AREA. 185 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 13,1909, to September 30,1914.

GAGE. Barrett and Lawrence water-stage recorder on left bank, installed January 

13, 1912, near gage installed March 10, 1911. The first gage ,was a vertical staff 

fastened to the wagon bridge, but as the gage heights were affected by backwater from a temporary diversion dam below the station a vertical staff gage, 

in two sections, was installed by the Warner Lake Irrigation Co. February 24, 

1910, half a mile above the mouth of the canyon and 1 mile above the bridge. 

On March 10, 1911, the gage was reset on the opposite side of the river and the 

datum was lowered 1.0 foot. On March 29, 1912, the recording gage was reinstalled at a point about 50 feet below the staff gage. Readings for 1913 and 

1914 refer to datum 1.0 foot lower than those for 1912.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable installed May 27, 1914r about 500 

feet below gage or by wading at medium and low stages; Former;cable was 

about 50 feet above site of recording gage as reinstalled, March 29, 1912.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed composed of gravel and boulders; may shift in extreme floods by rolling the rocks. Control section for high water is a few feet 

downstream from that for-low water and evidently more permanent.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stage recorder, 

5.24 feet at 5 p. m. April 15 (discharge, 465 second-feet); Minimum discharge 

for year may have been as low as 1 second-foot in September.

WINTER PLOW. Discharge relation affected by ice during a considerable part of the 

winter. Flow under such conditions, generally small, has been estimated from 

occasional measurements, observers' notes, and comparisons with records of flow 

obtained at other stations in the valley.

iDiVERSiONs. A small amount of water diverted near head of stream is used to irrigate a few hundred acres. With this exception, the total run-off from the basin 

above the station is shown by the records.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. Conditions during 1914 have been on the whole favorable; results, good. 

Records for 1912 and earlier years rather poor.

FLAGSTAFF LAKE INLET NEAR PLUSH, OKEO.

LOCATION. In sec. 5, T. 35 S., E. 25 E., at pile bent bridge, about 300 feet above the

point where the channel merges into the lake, 15 miles north of Plush, Lake

County.

DRAINAGE ABBA. Not measured,

RECORDS AVAILABLE. Occasional measurements during season of 1914. 

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from bridge. 

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Muddy bottom; current sluggish. Gage heights do not

indicate discharge, as the station is affected by backwater from Flagstaff Lake. 

EXTREMES OF DISCHABGB. Can not be determined on account of infrequent measurements.

WINTER FLOW. No records; flow probably small. 

DIVERSIONS. The waters flowing out from Hart Lake irrigate a considerable area by

natural flooding.

EXTREMES OF STAGE. Maximum stage during the year, estimated from high-water, 

mark: 3.0 feet, about May 5; minimum stage during winter estimated by James E. 

Stewart from the appearance of the gage to have been 0.65 foot. Maximum 

recorded stage is 4.15 feet, May 31, 1910, but from high-water marks observed in 

1914, James E. Stewart estimated that the highest stage reached in 1910 was 

4.5 feet. Maximum stage of the lake within comparatively recent times was 

about 11.8 feet.

BLUEJOINT LAKE NEAR PLUSH, OREG.

LOCATION. In sec. 15, T. 33 S., R. 26 E., about 2 miles south of Warren LaWsl 

ranch house and 30 miles north of Plush, Lake County.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. March 21,1911, to September 30, 1914 (occasional readings).

GAGE . Vertical staff on post in lake bed about 200 yards from Laird's pumping plant; 

installed May 26, 1914, at datum 1.94 feet higher than gage installed April 16, 

1912; reinstalled July 9 and datum lowered 0.76 foot. Datum of gage is 1.18 feet 

above gage used in 1912, or 4,447.1 feet, United States Reclamation Service 

datum. Original gage installed March 21,1911; water found below gage April 16, 

1912, and new staff installed at datum 4.21 feet lower than gage installed March 21, 

1911. All gage readings have been referred to datum of present gage (installed 

July 9, 1914), which is probably below the lowest point of lake bed.

EXTREMES op STAGE. Maximum stage in 1910 was 7.44 feet, referred to datum of 

present gage. Maximum stage in recent years was 18.16 feet, referred to present 

gage, or 10.72 feet above the high water of 1910; greatest depth of lake wad therefore about 18 feet.

Lake bed reported dry March 8, April 7, May 3 and 16, and June 3; some water 

entered the lake about June 28, but bed was dry again before end of year. Gage

CHEWAUCAN BIVER AT CHEWAWCAN LANb «fe CATTLE CO.'S GAGE NEAB PAISLEY,

OREQ.

LOCATION. In the SW. J sec. 27, T. 33 S., R. 18 :E., about 60 feet above

logical Survey gage above Mill Creek and 2J miles above Paisley, Lake County.

DRAINAGE AREA. Not measured.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. January 20 to September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Lietz water-stage recorder, referred to a vertical staff outside the well, set at' 

. practically the same datum as the Geological Survey gage. The two gages do not 

read the same because of the slope of water surface between them.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from the Geological Survey cable or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Stream bed composed of gravel and boulders, as at other 

gage.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum gage height during year, from water-stage 

recorder, 3.80 feet about 6 p. m. April 15 (discharge, 1,090 second-feet); minimum 

stage recorded, 0.80 foot September 2-4 (discharge, 29 second-feet).

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation affected by ice for about the same periods as at

 the other gage (U. S. G. S.).

DIVERSIONS. Same as other station.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. Results excellent, except during periods when ice affects the discharge 

relation or gage was not in operation, and during low water in the summer when 

rating curve is not well defined. The records for this station are believed to be 

more reliable than those at the Geological Survey station because of the better 

record of 'Stage.

DIVERSIONS. Not mote than two or three hundred acres irrigated above station.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. Results apparently good except for periods in which channel was obstructed by ice or during March and April, when the diurnal fluctuation renders 

records only fair.

COOPERATION. Most of the discharge measurements made by engineers of the Northwest Townsite Co.

SILVER LAKE BASIN.

SILVER GREEK NEAR SILVER LAKE, OREG.

LOCATION. In the SW. J sec. 28, T. 28 S., E. 14 E., at the dam site of the proposed 

Egli reservoir, 1$ miles southwest of Silver Lake poet office, Lake County, and 

about 3 miles above mouth of Bridge Creek.

DRAINAGE AREA. 221 square miles.
WAftBft SUPPLY, PAST

RECORDS AVAILABLE. Deceniber 29, 1904, to March 31, 1907; January 11, M09, t6 

September 30, 1914.

GAGE. Vertical staff on right bank, 10 feet above cable, since April 5, 1912, but it 

was not maintained at proper datuin and readings during 1914 are probably 0.2 

to 0.3 foot too small; an inclined staff on right bank directly under the cable was 

used up to April 5, 1912; readings made from it have been reduced to the same 

datum as far as possible. Gage read once daily by J. H. Gowdy.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTJEOL. Bed composed of rocks and gravel; fairly permanent; one 

channel at all stages.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 4.0 feet, March 

19-20 and April 23 (discharge, 350 second-feet), flood crest may have been slightly 

higher as gage was read only once a day; minimum stage recorded, 0.35 foot 

December 16 (discharge, 7.8 second-feet).

WINTER PLOW. Ice forms but creek seldom freezes over at control; discharge relation 

not seriously affected.

DIVERSIONS. There are a few small irrigated tracts above the station.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. Results for last part of year apparently good; those for earlier part of year 

poor on account of uncertainty of rating and maintenance of gage datum.

The following discharge measurement was made by James E. Stewart: 

August 3: Gage-height, 0.52 foot; discharge, 11.0 second-feet.

 "'-. ' DONNBR UND BLITZEN RIVEB NEAR DIAMOND, OBBG. ' >

LOCATION. In the SW. J sec. 8, T. 32 S., R. 32J E., at the mouth of the canyon, 

on the F ranch, 1| miles above the ranch buildings, about 25 miles southwest of 

Diamond, Harney County, and about 40 miles above Narrows.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 200 square miles {from special maps prepared by Garfield Stubblefield).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 22, 1910, to September 30, 1914; also January 26, 1909* 

to July 31, 1910, and November 1 to 12, 1910, at station below several diversion 

ditches.

GAGE. Vertical staff on left bank; read daily during high-water period and weekly 

at other times by Jesus Achurra; original gage was a vertical staff on the right 

bank just below wagon bridge near the ranch buildings.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable 75 yards above gage, or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed composed of gravel and sand; slightly shifting; one 

channel at all stages; banks covered with a dense growth of willows and underbrush; subject to overflow at flood stages.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 4.45 feet, at 1 

p. m., May 25 (discharge, 825 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 2 feet 

August 1-31 (discharge, 50 second-feet); the stream may have reached a lower 

stage during the first 5 months of the year.

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

assumed applicable.

DIVERSIONS. The present gage is above all irrigation ditches. Five ditches divert 

water from the stream above the wagon bridge near the ranch bTiildings, and 

about 300 feet below the bridge is a brush-and-rock dam which is used to divert 

water into a sixth ditch. , When water is to be diverted the dams are repaired 

and raised by adding more rocks and brush. Two of the ditches carry water 

during the entire year, three of them during the irrigation season only. No 

record has been kept of the actual time of operation.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. No estimates can be made for the first five months, on account of shifting 

channel and lack of measurements. Results for remainder of year fair. During 

the spring the river is subject to considerable diurnal fluctuations and nmch of 

the water from the melting snow may pass the station at night when no record 

would be obtained.

COOPERATION. Field data furnished by the Blitzen Valley Land Co.

Discharge measurements of Donner und Blitzen River near Diamond, Oreg., during the

year ending Sept. SO, 1914.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed composed of clean sand; shifting; no defined control.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 3.3 feet April 19-20 

(discharge uncertain on account of shift of channel, which probably occurred at 

this time, and also because the single daily reading may have missed the peak of 

the flood); minimum stage recorded, 1.5 feet August 23-25 (discharge, 0.2 secondfoot).

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation apparently unaffected by ice.

DIVERSIONS. None above station.

REGULATION . None.

ACCURACY. Results poor, but are valuable in conjunction with records on Donner

SCcCOY CREEK NEAR DIAMOND, OREG,

LOCATION. In sec. ]2, T. 30 S., R. 32 E., about 1,000 feet above Kesterson's ranch

house and 5 miles southwest of Diamond, Harney County. 

DRAINAGE AREA. 45 square miles (measured on special maps prepared by Garfield

Stubblefield). 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 23, 1910, to September 30, 1914; January 27 to June 30,

1909, on original gage, which was below some diversions. 

GAGE. Vertical staff on right bank, installed August 7,1913, 250 feet below the gage

installed May 23,1910; read daily most of the year by Fannie Kesterson and Mrs.

Scott Catterson. Original gage was 2J miles farther downstream and 3 miles

from Diamond post office. 

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from footbridge 100 yards above present gage or

by wading.

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

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 3.2 feet at 4.30 a. m.

May 8 (discharge, 146 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 1.1 feet July 26 to

August 1 (discharge about 1 second-foot). 

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation affected by ice for periods of a few weeks; flow

generally estimated or interpolated. 

DIVERSIONS. Above all diversions except one unimportant ditch. Several irrigation

ditches divert water above original site for use on hay lands in Diamond Swamp;

294 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1914, PART X.

SILVER CREEK ABOVE RILEY, OHEG.

LOCATION. In the NW. J sec. 30, T, 22 S., R. 26 E., at the Cecil ranch, 3 milea belotv < 

the junction of Nichols Creek, about 12 miles above Riley, Harney County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 260 square miles (revised since last publication, Water-Supply 

Paper, 330 from special maps prepared by Garfield Stubblefield).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. April 19, 1904t to July 14, 1906; February 16 to December 12, 

1909; April 6 to October 19, 1910, and flood periods of 1911, 1912, and 1914.

GAGE. Vertical and inclined staff, on right bank, one-fourth mile above the Cecil 

ranch house and 100 yards above the point tvhere the creek divides into three 

channels; installed December 5,1910, and read once daily by Milton Cain; original 

gage, read from 1904 to 1906, was attached to timbers on left downstream side of 

bridge over left or main channel, at the ranch buildings where creek is divided 

into three channels; a second gage, 100 yards upstream from the bridge, was installed January 14, 1909, and read until October 19, 1910.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable about 100 yards below gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed composed of clean gravel; not likely to shift.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 6.7 feet March 19 

(discharge, 701 second-feet); channel practically dry each year, at about zero gage1 

height.)

WINTER FLOW. Discharge relation seriously affected by ice. No winter records dur-. 

ing recent years, as stream is practically dry.

DIVERSIONS. Water is used to irrigate hay lands in upper Silver Creek valley.

REGULATION. None. Silver Creek reservior site is 3 or 4 miles above the station. 

Water stored at this point could be used to irrigate large areas on each side of the 

stream.

ACCURACY. Records apparently fair for periods in which gage was read.

The following measurement was made by Cooper and Dodge: 

March 19: Gage height, 6.65 feet; discharge, 694 second-feet.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Silver Creek above Riley, Oreg., for the year ending

Sept. SO, 1914.

STREAM-GAGING STATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS RELATING TO WATER RESOURCE!

INTRODUCTION. '

]

Investigation of water resources by the United] States Geological 

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

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

it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as 

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

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

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

appeared in the bulle'tins, professional papers, and annual reports.

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

coincide with natural drainage features as indicated below.

Part I. North Atlantic slope basins.

II. South Atlantic and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins.

III. Ohio River basin.

IV. St. Lawrence River basin.

V. Upper Mississippi River and Hudson Bay basins.

VI. Missouri River basin.

VII. Lower Mississippi River basin.

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins.

I.. Colorado River basin. 

X. Great Basin.

XI. Pacific slope basins in California.

XII. North Pacific slope basins (in three parts).

HOW GOVERNMENT REPORTS MAY BE OBTAINED OR CONSULTED.

Water-supply papers 'and other publications of the United States 

Geological Survey containing data in regard to the water resources

NOTE. No data regarding stream flow are given in the 15th and 17th annual reports.

The records at most of the stations discussed hi these reports 

extend over a series of years, and miscellaneous measurements at 

many points other than regular gaging stations have been made 

each year. An index of the reports containing records obtained 

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

The table which follows gives, by years and drainage basins, the 

numbers of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 

to 1912. The data for any particular station will in general be found 

hi the reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. For example, data for Machias River at Whitneyville, Maine, 

1903 to 1914, are published in Water-Supply Papers 97, 124, 165, 201, 

241, 261, 281, 301, 321, 351, and 381, which contain records for the 

New England streams from 1903 to 1914. Results of miscellaneous^ 

measurements are published by drainage basins.

In these papers and in the following lists the stations are arranged 

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

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

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

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

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

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

tributary basin being listed before those of the next basin below.

The exceptions to this rule occur hi the records for Mississippi 

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

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

in regular order around the rim of the lake than to cross back and 

forth over the lake surface.

PART X. THE GREAT BASIN. '

PRINCIPAL DIVISIONS.

The Great Basin is made up of a number of minor basins whose 

streams do not discharge into the ocean. The largest of these minor 

basins are the depressions that hold Great Salt Lake, Sevier Lake, 

Humboldt Sink, Truckee, Walker, Carson, and Owens rivers, and 

Honey, Mono, Malheur, Harney, Warner, Abert, Summer, and 

Silver lakes. The streams of this section drain wholly or in part the 

States of California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming.

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

publications relating specifically to the section, these pages contain a 

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

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

reports published by State and other organizations (see p. xxi).

GEOLOGIC FOLIOS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

valleys and the height above sea level of all points in the quadrangle. The arealgeology map shows the distribution of the various rocks at the surface. The structuralgeology map shows the relations of the rocks to one another underground. The economic-geology map indicates the location of mineral deposits that are commercially 

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

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

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

stu&eats of geography and geology and are valuable as guidesin the devefojtHhent A3 

utilization of mineral resources.

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

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

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

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

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

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

orders. This rate applies to folios in stock from 1 to 184, inclusive, also to the library 

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

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

of matter sell for 50 cents a copy. The octavo edition of folio 185 and higher numbers 

sells for 50 cents a copy. If 34 folios selling at 25 cents each (or their equivalent in 

higher-priced folios) are ordered at one time a discount of 40 per cent is allowed; $5.10 

is the minimum amount accepted at this rate.

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

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

the utilization of the water resources.

39. Truckee folio, California.

Describes the general and economic geology of an area extending westward and northward 

from Truckee Lake, drained by streams a part of which flow through Yuba and American 

rivers to the Sacramento, and part through Lake Tahoe to tbe Great Basin, discusses the topography and geology, and under " Economic geology" the mineral springs which occur abundantly 

throughout the area.

86. The transportation of debris by running water, by G. K. Gilbert, based on 

experiments made with the assistance of E. 6. Murphy. 1914. 263 pp., 

3 pis. 70c.

The results of an investigation which was earned on in a specially equipped laboratory at 

Berkeley, Cal., and was undertaken for the purpose of learning "the laws which control the 

movement of bed load and especially to determine how the quantity of load is related to the 

stream slope and discharge and to the degree of comminution of the debris." 

A highly technical report.

105. Hydraulic mining debris in the Sierra Nevada, by G. K. Gilbert. 154 pp., 

34 pis. 1917.

Presents the results of an investigation undertaken by the United States Geological Survey 

in response to a memorial from the California- Miners' Association asking that a particular study 

be made of portions of the Sacramento and San Joaqnin valleys affected by detritus from torrential streams. The report deals largely with geologic and physiographic aspects of the subject, traces the physical effects, past and future, of the hydraulic mining of earlier decades, the 

similar effects which certain other industries induce through stimulation of the erosion of the 

soil, and the influence of the restriction of the area of inundation by the construction of levees. 

Suggests cooperation by several interests for the control of the streamsnow carrying heavy loads 

of debris.

BULLETINS:

*32. Lists and analyses of the mineral springs of the United ^States (a preliminary 

study), by A. Q. Peale. 1886. 235 pp.

Defines mineral waters, lists the springs by States, and gives tables of analyses so far as 

available.

*319. Summary of the controlling factors of artesian flows, by Myron L. Fuller. 

1908. lOc.

Describes underground reservoirs, the sources of underground waters, the confining agents, 

the primary and modifying factors of artesian circulation, the essential and modifying factors of 

artesian flow, and typical artesian systems.

*479. The geochemical interpretation of water analyses, by Chase Palmer. 1911. 

31 pp. 5c.

Discusses the expression of chemical analyses, the chemical character of water, and the properties of natural waters; gives a classification of waters based on property values and reacting 

values, and discusses the character of the waters of certain rivers as interpreted directly from the 

results of analyses; discusses also the relation of water properties to geologic formations, silica 

in river water, and the character of the waters of the Mississippi and the Great Lakes and St. 

Lawrence River as indicated by chemical analyses.
