SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 18 reports presenting measurements of stage, discharge, 

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

ending September 30, 1958. Since 1888, when the United States Geological Survey first 

studied streamflow in relation to problems of irrigation, similar measurements have been 

made at more than 14,000 gaging stations in the 48 States and at many others in the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. On September 30, 1958, the Geological Survey and cooperating 

organizations were maintaining 7,090 gaging stations, including those in Alaska and Hawaii. 

Partial-record stations for low flow or for flood flow have been operated at many other 

points. In addition, discharge measurements are made at miscellaneous sites. The records 

for the water year October 1, 1957, to September 30, 1958, at gaging stations, partialrecord stations, and miscellaneous sites in the Pacific slope basins in Oregon and lower 

Columbia River basin are given in this report.

COOPERATION

Many State, municipal, and private organizations have cooperated with the Geological 

Survey in this work by either furnishing or helping to collect data. Organizations that 

supplied data are acknowledged in station descriptions, and organizations that assisted 

in the collection of data through cooperative agreements with the Survey are:

as follows:

flaging station is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where systematic observations of gage height or discharge are obtained. When used in connection 

with a discharge record, the term is applied herein only to those gaging stations where a 

continuous record of discharge is obtained.

Partial-record station is a particular site where limited stream-flow data are collected systematically over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses.

Cubic foot per second (cfs) is the rate of discharge of a stream whose channel is 

1 square foot in cross-sectional area and whose average velocity is 1 foot per second.

Cubic feet per second per square mile (cfsm) is the average number of cubic feet of 

water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, assuming that the runoff 

is distributed uniformly in time and area.

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

all the runoff for a given time period were uniformly distributed on it.

Acre-foot (ac-ft) is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 

1 foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet.

Cfs-day is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 cubic foot per second for 

24 hours. It is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,317 gallons, 

and represents a runoff of 0.0372 inch from 1 square mile.

Stage-discharge relation is the relation between gage height and the amount of water 

flowing in a channel, expressed as volume per unit of time.

Control designates a feature downstream from the gage that determines the stagedischarge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural constriction of the channel, a long reach of the channel, or an artificial structure.

Contents is the volume of water in a reservoir. Unless otherwise indicated, volume is 

computed on the basis of a level pool and does not include bank storage.

The drainage area of a stream at a specified location is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, which is so enclosed by a topographic divide that direct surface runoff from 

precipitation normally would drain by gravity into the river above the specified point.
EXPLANATION OP DATA 3

Figures of drainage area given herein include all closed basins, or noncontributing areas, 

within the area unless otherwise noted.

WSP is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper" in references to previously 

published reports.

DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBERS

Beginning with the series of reports for the water year ending September 30, 1951, the 

order of listing gaging-station records was changed. In this report, 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 table of contents of this report 

represents one rank. This downstream order and system of Indention show which gaging stations are on tributaries between any two stations on a main stem and the rank of the tributary on which each gaging station is situated.

The order of listing used before the publication of the 1951 report listed first all 

stations on the main stem from headwaters toward mouth, then all stations on the uppermost 

tributary to the main stem from the tributary's source to mouth, and then all stations 

from source to mouth of the uppermost tributary to the tributary.

As an added means of identification, each gaging station and partial-record station 

has been assigned a station number. The numbers have been assigned in the same downstream 

order used in this report. In assigning station numbers, no distinction is made between 

partial-record stations and regular gaging stations, so that the station number for a 

partial-record station indicates downstream-order position in a list made up of both types 

of stations. Gaps are left in the numbers to allow for new stations that may be established; hence the numbers are not consecutive. The complete number for each station has 

eight digits, but the station number as shown in this report, Just to the left of the station name, consists of only the essential digits of the complete number. For example, 

for a station with the complete number 14-0110.00, the station number shown in this 

report is 110. The notation in the two places to the left of the hyphen is the part 

number; it is (14) for all stations in this report and is therefore omitted.

EXPLANATION OP DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage and measurements 

of discharge. In addition, observations of factors affecting the stage-discharge relation, 

weather records, and other information are used to supplement base data in determining the 

daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct readings on a nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of fluctuations. 

Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter by the general methods adopted by 

the Geological Survey on the basis of experience in stream gaging since 1888. These 

methods are described in Water-Supply Paper 888 and are also outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of stream discharge.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 14

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from stage-discharge 

relation curves defined by discharge measurements. If extensions to the rating curves 

are necessary to define the extremes of discharge, they are made on the basis of Indirect 

measurements of peak discharge (such as slope-area or contracted-opening measurements, 

computation of flow over dams or weirs, and by other methods), velocity-area studies, and 

logarithmic plotting. The application of the dally mean gage height to those rating 

tables gives the dally mean discharge, from which the monthly and the yearly mean discharge are computed. If the stage-discharge relation is subject to change because of frequent or continual change In the physical features that form the control, the dally mean 

discharge is determined by the shifting-control method, In which correction factors based 

on Individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used In 

applying the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharge relation for a 

station Is temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control, 

the dally mean discharge is computed by what is essentially the shifting-control method.

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

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

method in which the slope or fall in a reach of the stream Is a factor In determining discharge. Information requisite for determining the slope or fall Is obtained by means of 

an auxiliary gage set at some distance from the base gage. At some stations the stagedischarge relation Is affected by changing stage. If so, the rate of change of stage Is 

uaed as a factor In the determination of discharge.

At most gaging stations In the northern part of the United States and at some in the 

mountainous regions of other parts the stage-discharge relation Is affected by ice during 

the winter, and It becomes impossible to compute the discharge In the usual manner. Discharge for periods of ice effect is computed on the basis of the gage-height record and 

occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available 

Information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and 

comparable records of discharge for other stations In the same or nearby basins. If the 

stage-discharge relation is affected by Ice, this Information Is given in a note to the 

table. No mention is made of occasional days of Ice effect If the degree of accuracy of 

dally records is not changed.

The data herein presented generally comprise a description of the station, a skeleton 

rating table, and a table showing the daily discharge and monthly and yearly discharge of 

the stream. Records are published for the water year which begins on October 1 and ends 

on September 30. A calendar for the water year 1958 is shown on page IV for the purpose 

of finding the day of the week for any date.

The description of the station gives the location, drainage area, records available, 

type and history of gages, average discharge, extremes of discharge, general remarks, and 

notations of revisions of the previously published record. The location of the gaging 

station and the drainage area are obtained from the most accurate maps available. River 

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

Corps of Engineers unless otherwise noted. Under "Records available" are given the periods for which there are published records generally equivalent to those at present site. 

Under "Gage" are given the type of gage currently In use and the datum of the present 

gage above mean sea level, and a condensed history of the types, locations, and datums
EXPLANATION OF DATA 5

of previous gages used during the period of records available. Under "Average discharge" 

is given the average discharge for the number of years indicated. It is not given for 

stations having fewer than five complete years of record or for stations where changes in 

water development during the period of record cause the figure to have little significance. 

Under "Extremes" are given the maximum discharge and gage height; the minimum discharge if 

there is little or no regulation; the minimum daily discharge if there is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge if useful); and the minimum gage height (unless it is 

of no importance). In the first paragraph, the data given are for the complete current 

water year unless otherwise specified. In the second paragraph, the data given are for 

the periods of record within the calendar year dates in the heading (not necessarily those 

for the complete years indicated by the heading dates). Reliable information concerning 

major floods that have occurred outside the period of record are given in the third or 

last paragraph under "Extremes." Unless otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage obtained by use of a water-stage recorder, a crest-stage 

indicator, or a nonrecording gage read at the time of the crest. If the maximum gage 

height did not occur at the same time as the maximum discharge, it is given separately. 

Information pertaining to the accuracy of the records and conditions which affect the 

natural flow at the gaging station is given under "Remarks."

Previously published records of some stations have been found to be in error on the 

basis of data or information later obtained. Revisions of such records are usually published along with the current records in one of the annual reports. In order to make it 

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

added to the description of all stations for which revised records have been published. 

Listed therein are all the reports in which revisions have been published, each followed 

by the water years for which figures are revised in that report. In listing the water 

years only one number is given; for instance, 1933 stands for the water year October 1, 

1932 to September 30, 1933. If no daily, monthly, or annual figures of discharge are concerned in the revision, that fact is brought out by notations after the year dates as 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

annual series of reports.

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

discharge for the greater part of the open-water period was determined by the shiftingcontrol method, the slope method, or other special methods involving an equivalent adjustment to the gage height of more than one-tenth foot. Skeleton rating tables are generally 

not published for stations on canals.

For stations equipped with water-stage recorders, except those on streams subject to 

sudden or rapid fluctuation, the daily table gives the discharge corresponding to the
6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 14

dally mean gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the daily mean gage 

height may not indicate the true daily mean discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge for parts of the day or by using the discharge integrator, an instrument 

for obtaining the daily mean discharge from a continuous gage-height graph and containing, 

as an essential element, a curve representing the stage-discharge relation at the station. 

For stations equipped with nonrecording gages, the table of daily discharge gives the discharge corresponding to once-daily readings of the gage, or to the mean of twice-daily 

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

readings. For periods of rapidly changing stage, the daily mean discharge is determined 

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

station description.

In the table of daily discharge, the figures for the maximum day and the minimum day 

for each month are underlined. If the figure is repeated, it is underlined only on the 

first day of its occurrence.

In the monthly summary below the daily table, the line headed "Total" gives the sum of 

the daily figures; it is the total cfs-days for the month. The line headed "Mean" gives 

the average flow in cubic feet per second during the month. Discharge for the month may 

be expressed in cubic feet per second per square mile (line headed "Cfsm"), or in inches 

(line headed "in."), or in acre-feet (line headed "Ac-ft"). Figures for cubic feet per 

second per square mile and runoff in inches are omitted if the drainage area includes 

large noncontributing areas, or if the average annual rainfall over the drainage basin is 

usually less than 20 inches.

In the yearly summary below the monthly summary, the figures of maximum are the maximum daily discharges, not the momentary discharges when the water was at crest stage. 

Likewise, the minimums in this summary are the minimum daily discharges.

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

most stations are listed below the table of daily and monthly discharge. All independent 

peaks above the selected base are given. The base discharge, which is given in parentheses, is selected so that an average of about three peaks a year will be presented. 

Peak discharges are not published for canals, ditches, drains, or for any stream for which 

the peaks are subject to substantial control by man.

Footnotes to the table of daily discharge indicate periods when discharge was computed 

or estimated by unusual or special methods during periods of no gage-height record and 

ice effect, or by other effects that reduce the degree of accuracy of the records. Days 

on which discharge measurements were made are indicated by asterisk and footnote unless 

they were made at frequent regular intervals, in which instance the general frequency of 

discharge measurements is given under "Remarks" in the station description.

For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a description of the station and a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reservoirs a table showing daily contents or stage is given. A skeleton table of capacity at 

given stages is published each year for all reservoirs for which records are published 

on a daily basis, but is not published for reservoirs for which only monthly data are 

given.

At many gaging stations water samples are collected from the streams for the purpose 

of making chemical analyses, computing dissolved solids, suspended sediment loads, and
ACCURACY OP FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS 7

particle-size distribution, or measuring water temperatures. For most of these samples the 

results are published in an annual series of water-supply papers entitled "Quality of Surface Waters of the United States" which is issued in four volumes. In this report under 

"Remarks" a reference is made to quality-of-water records collected at gaging stations on 

a regular basis and published in the quality-of-water reports. At many other gaging stations quality-of-water data are obtained at irregular intervals and published as "miscellaneous analyses" in quality-of-water reports; such records are not referred to in 

"Remarks" paragraph in this report. At many gaging stations water temperature is obtained 

also at the time a discharge measurement is made; such temperature readings are not 

reported in the quality-of-water annual reports.

Data collected at partial-record stations and at miscellaneous sites are given at the 

end of each report. Partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The first is 

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

a table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. Discharge measurements at miscellaneous sites are given in a third table. Occasionally, a series of discharge measurements are made within a short time period to investigate the seepage gains 

or losses along a reach of a stream or to determine the low-flow characteristics of an 

area. Such measurements are given in special tables after the list of measurements at 

miscellaneous sites.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AHD COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of streamflow data depends primarily on (1) the stability of the stagedischarge relation or, if the control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements, 

and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of discharge, and interpretation of records.

The station description states the degree of accuracy of the records. "Excellent" 

indicates that, in general, the error in the daily records is believed to be less than 

5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," probably more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean discharge and runoff 

are, in general, more nearly accurate than the daily records.

Discharge at some stations, as indicated by the monthly mean, may vary widely from 

natural runoff, owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or 

decrease in evaporation due to artificial causes, or to other factors. For such stations, 

figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and of runoff in inches are not published unless satisfactory adjustments can be made for diversions, for changes in contents 

of reservoirs, or for other changes incident to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir is not included in the adjustments for changes in reservoir contents, unless it is 

so stated. Even at those stations where adjustments are made, large errors in computed 

runoff may occur when relatively large negative adjustments are made or when evaporation 

is large in comparison with the observed discharge.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, and therefore the discharge 

recorded does not actually show the water supply available at the stations for further 

development, because water must first be supplied to existing irrigation systems.

Note. Records for all stations In Oregon through September 1910 are contained In WSP 37O, superseding all earlier reports for these stations.

A compilation of records for the area covered by this report through September 1950 has 

been published as Water-Supply Paper 1318. That report contains a summary of monthly and 

annual discharges for all previously published records as well as some records-not contained in the annual series of water-supply papers. All records were reexamined and 

revised where warranted. Estimates of discharge were made to fill short gaps whenever 

practical.

The reports listed in the foregoing tables contain the customary records of discharge 

collected during the systematic operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on 

the stage and discharge of many streams during major floods has been included in special 

reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey. The more recent of these 

special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic information and analyses and 

compilations of data relating to earlier notable floods. The following list gives the 

numbers and titles of these reports:

12 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 14 

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

Runoff was generally above median in most of the area covered by this report during the 

water year. John Day River at Service Creek, Oreg. was record high for both February 

monthly and daily discharge, and the February monthly mean discharge of streams in the 

Walla Walla River, Willamette River, and Umpqua River basins ranked among the highest of 

record. Some flooding occurred Apr. 21-22 along McKay Creek and Umatilla River in the 

vicinity of Pendleton, but damage was relatively light. For the two key gaging stations 

in the area covered by this report, a comparison of monthly discharge during the 1958 

water year with the median discharge for the 25-year period (1921-45) is shown below.

and those below 20 cfs, which are poor. Some regulation at diversion dam 400 ft above 

station where water is diverted into Yellowhawk and Garrison Creeks for stock and 

irrigation. Water is diverted 1 mile upstream into Mill Creek Reservoir for flood 

control with release of stored waters after flood into Russell Creek and is also 

diverted as required to replenish losses from seepage and evaporation from small recreation pool maintained in the reservoir. City of Walla Walla diverts water for municipal supply several miles upstream. Other small diversions above station for irrigation.

22 WALLA WALLA RIVER BASIN, OREG.-WASH.

Springs in the Walla Walla River basin, Oreg.-Wash.

Ground-water overflow through many springs on the alluvial fan of the Walla Walla River 

near Milton-Preewater, Oreg., amounts to about 50,000 acre-ft a year. During the irrigation season practically all the overflow is used to water crops on land not served by 

diversion from the river. A survey made in 1933 listed 57 springs or spring groups in 

the area, arranged in "inner," "intermediate," and "outer" zones concentric about the apex 

of the alluvial fan. 1

The inner zone is 3 to 3j miles below Milton-Preewater and extends from the vicinity of 

Nicholas Spring, which is about half a mile east of the Walla Walla River at McCoy Bridge, 

to springs in the vicinity of Dugger Creek. Within this zone are fully three-fourths of 

the springs in the Walla Walla River basin. The intermediate and outer zones, each of 

which contains only a few springs, are about 2 and 4 miles, respectively, beyond the inner 

zone.

In order to bring about a more effective use of the available water supply through a 

better understanding of the relation between surface- and ground-water supplies in the 

basin, discharge measurements of each of the principal springs and measurements of groundwater levels in representative wells have been made and the results published periodically since 1932.

32 UMATILLA RIVER BASIN

Principal diversions from Umatilla River 

 between Yoakum and Umatilla gaging stations, Oreg.

The following canals divert water from Umatilla River between Yoakum and Umatilla: 

Furnish Canal, from right bank of Umatilla River in SWvSWtr sec. 31, T. 3 N., R. 30 E. 

Umatilla project feed canal, from right bank of Umatilla River in SWij sec. 22, T. 3 N., 

R. 29 E., to feed Cold Springs Reservoir of Bureau of Reclamation. Western Land Canal, 

from left bank of Umatilla River in NE^- sec. 21, T. 3 M., R. 29 E.; gage is 1 mile downstream from intake. Alien Canal, from right bank of Western Land Canal, half a mile 

downstream from headgate of that canal. Maxwell Canal, from right bank of Umatilla River 

in SW-f sec. 28, T. 4 N., R. 28 E.,; at times it receives water from Cold Springs Reservoir. 

West Division main canal, from left bank of Umatilla River in SW^ sec. 28, T. 5 N., 

R. 28 E.

Water diverted by all of these canals is used for irrigation of lands on both sides of 

Umatilla River near and below Echo, except that diverted by West Division main canal, 

which is applied to land along Columbia River in vicinity of Irrigon.

Several smaller canals also divert water between Yoakum and Umatilla, but no records 

for them were obtained.

Records of monthly discharge of the canals, published as a group, are available from 

March 1926 to September 1958; records for some of the canals published separately prior 

to 1926. Revised figures of discharge for Maxwell Canal (water year 1921) and West 

Division main canal (water year 1923) published in WSP 1398.

DESCHUTES RIVER BASIN 57

575. Fall River near Lapine, Oreg.

Location. Lat 43°4?i50", long 121°34'20", in SE£ sec. 31, T. 20 S., R. 10 E., on left 

bank 50 ft downstream from pond spillway at State fish hatchery and 9 miles northwest 

of Lapine.

Drainage area. 45.1 sq mi, hydrologic drainage boundary uncertain owing to ground-water 

exchange.

Records available. July 1938 to September 1958. Records for May to September 1912 at 

site 3 miles downstream not equivalent owing to difference in drainage area.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Altitude of gage is 4,220 ft (by barometer). 

Average discharge. 20 years, 155 cfs (112,200 acre-ft per year).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 210 cfs July 24 (gage height, 1.73 ft); minimum daily, 156 cfs Oct. 27-31.

1938-58: Maximum discharge, 250 cfs July 28, 1952 (gage height, 1.94 ft); minimum, 68 cfs Apr. 6, 1942.

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

Water diverted only to ponds at fish hatchery 50 ft above station, from which water 

returns to river above station. Momentary extremes are caused by operation of fish 

hatchery.

60 DESCHUTES RIVER BASIN

Reservoirs in Deschutes River basin above Bend, Oreg.

Crane Prairie Reservoir. Lat 43°45'20", long 121°46'50", on control structure at dam on 

Deschutes River in NW£ sec.'16, T. 21 S., R. 8 E., 15 miles northwest of Lapine. Drainage area, 254 sq mi, hydrologic drainage boundary uncertain owing to ground-water 

exchange. Records available, November 1922 to September 1958. Staff gage read daily 

Oct. 1 to Nov. 10, May 8 to Sept. 30, occasional readings Nov. 16 to May 4. Datum of 

gage is 4,400.0 ft above mean sea level (levels by Bureau of Reclamation). Gage readings have been reduced to elevations above mean sea level. Maximum contents observed 

during year, 57,090 acre-ft Apr. 26 (elevation, 4,445.35 ft); minimum observed, 20,300 

acre-ft Sept. 30 (elevation, 4,436.80 ft). Maximum contents observed during period 

1922-58, 60,500 acre-ft June 5-7, 1943 (elevation, 4,446.0 ft); no usable contents at 

times.

Reservoir is formed by earth dam completed by North Canal Co. in 1922; gates were 

first closed Nov. 22, 1922; reconstructed as rock-faced earth dam with concrete control works by Bureau of Reclamation in 1939-40. Capacity, 55,340 acre-ft between elevations 4,424.0 (lip of fish screen structure) and 4,445.0 ft (crest of spillway). 

Natural flow passing through reservoir when outlet gates are open prevents withdrawal 

of storage to elevation of sill of gates. Water used for irrigation near Bend and 

Redmond.

WSP 1448:1925(M,m), 1940(m), 1950(m).

Wickiup Reservoir. Lat 43°41 I 10", long 121°41'10", in gate chamber structure at dam on 

Deschutes River in NE£ sec. 7, T. 22 S., R. 9 E., 9 miles west of Lapine. Drainage 

area, 482 sq mi, hydrologic drainage boundary uncertain owing to ground-water exchange. 

Records available, December 1942, when storage began, to September 1958. Tape gage 

read daily. Datum of gage is at mean sea level (levels by Bureau of Reclamation). 

Prior to Jan. 15, 1945, staff gages at nearby sites at same datum. Maximum contents 

observed during year, 200,400 acre-ft Apr. 19, 22 (elevation, 4,337.70 ft); minimum 

observed, 61,720 acre-ft Oct. 1, 2 (elevation, 4.315.17 ft). Maximum contents observed' 

during period 1942-58, 201,500 acre-ft May 8, 1956 (elevation, 4,337.80 ft); minimum 

observed since reservoir first filled in March 1949, 523 acre-ft Oct. 18, 1952 (elevation, 4,270.86 ft).

Reservoir is formed by rock-faced, earth-fill dam completed by Bureau of Reclamation in August 1949. Capacity, 182,100 acre-ft between elevations 4,265.0 (no storage) and 4,336.0 ft (crest of spillway, with earth soft plug to elevation 4.339..0 ft). 

Water surface probably cannot be lowered below elevation 4,265.0 ft due to natural flow 

through reservoir. Sill of trashrack structure elevation, 4,259.75 ft. Water is 

diverted from Deschutes River at Bend and is used for irrigation of lands near Madras. 

Daily elevations and capacity table furnished by Bureau of Reclamation.

Crescent Lake. Lat 43°30'00", long 121°58'20", in SW£ sec. 11, T. 24 S., R. 6 E., on 

outlet works of new dam three-quarters of a mile south of town of Crescent Lake and 

14 miles west of Crescent. Drainage area, 60.7 sq mi, hydrologic drainage boundary 

uncertain owing to ground-water exchange. Records available, August 1922 to September 

1958. Wire-weight gage read 1 to 4 times a month. Datum of gage is at mean sea level 

(levels by Bureau of Reclamation). Prior to Oct. 1, 1956, staff gage at nearby site 

at datum 4,825.16 ft above mean sea level; Oct. 1, 1956, to Oct. 17, 1957, staff gage 

at present site and datum. Maximum contents observed during year, 76,400 acre-ft 

June 3 (elevation, 4,842.84 ft); minimum observed, 43,730 acre-ft Oct. 18 (elevation, 

4,834.24 ft). Maximum contents observed during period 1922-58; 79,970 acre-ft Mar. 8, 

1957 (elevation, 4,843.76 ft); minimum observed, 9,640 acre-ft Oct. 21, 1931 (elevation, 4,827.91 ft).

Reservoir originally formed by dam of earth and logs completed in 1922, reconstructed as earth-fill dam in 1956. Capacity. 117,200 acre-ft between elevations 

4,821.5 (sill of outlet gate) and 4,853.0 ft (crest of spillway). Daad storage not 

known; records given herein represent usable contents. Water surface probably cannot 

be lowered below elevation 4,823.4 ft due to natural flow through reservoir. Water is 

diverted from Deschutes River at Bend by Deschutes County Municipal Improvement District Canal for Irrigation near Tumalo.

DESCHUTES RIVER BASIN 71

875. Crooked River near Culver, Oreg.

Location. Lat 44°33'40". long 121°16'10", in sec. 3 (50 ft west of ^-corner on line 

between sees. 2 and 3), T. 12 S., R. 12 E., on right bank 1 mile upstream from mouth, 

1.2 miles downstream from Cove powerplant, and 4 miles northwest of Culver.

Drainage area.--4.330 sq mi, approximately, of which 500 sq mi is probably noncontributing.

Records available. October 1917 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1,664.86 ft above mean se level, datum of 

T929, supplementary adjustment of 1947. Prior to Aug. 2, 1945, staff gages at several 

sites within 1.2 miles of present site at various daturas.

Average discharge. 41 years, 1,550 cfs (1,122,000 acre-ft per year).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 7,850 cfs Feb. 26 (gage height, 7.99 ft); minimum, 1,090 cfs Nov. 1; minimum daily, 1,330 cfs Aug. 1.

1917-58: Maximum discharge observed, 8,260 cfs Mar. 30, 31, 1943 (gage height, 

6.70 ft, site and datum then in use); minimum recorded, 920 cfs Oct. 14, 1945; minimum 

daily, 970 cfs July 12 to Sept. 5, 1921.

Remarks.--Records excellent. Flow slightly regulated by Ochoco Reservoir (capacity, 

47,500 acre-ft); occasional diurnal fluctuation caused by powerplant 1.2 miles above 

station. Water is diverted for irrigation of land above station. The area served 

increased from about 30,000 acres in 1918 to 37,000 acres in 1946. Several hundred 

cubic feet per second of water diverted from Deschutes River for irrigation of other 

lands above station. Opal Springs and several other springs within about 17 miles 

above station contribute about 1,000 cfs to the flow.

Revisions (water years). WSP 864: 1922, 1925, 1928, 1932, 1936-37. WSP 1318:

1390. Lake Ben Morrow near Bull Run, Oreg.

Location. La t 45°29'00", long 122 004'50", in SW£ sec. 16, T. 1 S., R. 6 E., in control 

house at Bear Creek Dam on Bull Run River, 8| miles northeast of Bull Run.

Drainage area. 74 sq mi, approximately.

Records available. October 1928 to September 1958. Prior to October 1937, published as 

Bull Run Reservoir near Bull Run.

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

water Bureau). Prior to Oct. 9, 1930, staff gage at same site and datum.

Extremes.--Maximum contents during year, 30,840 acre-ft June 30 (elevation, 1,045.63 ft); 

minimum, 16,470 acre-ft Oct. 2 (elevation, 1,005.11 ft).

1928-58: Maximum contents, 31,600 acre-ft Mar. 31, 1931 (elevation, 1,047.40 ft); 

minimum after first filling, 10,170 acre-ft Dec. 2, 1952 (elevation, 980.52 ft).

Remarks.--Records excellent. Lake is formed by concrete dam completed in March 1929 for 

water supply of city of Portland. Storage began about Apr. 29, 1929; first filling 

occurred May 15, 1929, Capacity of reservoir, 26,930 acre-ft at crest of spillway 

(elevation, 1,036.0 ft); capacity of reservoir increased to 30,140 acre-ft at elevation 1,044.0 ft by installation of three 40- by 8-foot gates in October 1954. Dead 

storage, 213 acre-ft below elevation 890.0 ft (center of outlet valves).

Cooperation. Water-stage recorder inspected and capacity table furnished by Portland 

water Bureau.

1400. Bull Run River near Bull Run, Oreg.

Location (revised). Lat 45°27'00", long 122°08'20", in SW£ sec. 25, T. 1 S., R. 5 E., on 

left bank three quarters of a mile upstream from intake of pipeline for water supply 

of city of Portland and 5 miles east of Bull Run.

Drainage area. 102 sq mi.

Records available. September 1907 to September 1958. Records for January 1895 to August 

1907, published in WSP 370, have been found to be unreliable and should not be used.

Sage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 759 ft above mean sea level (topographic 

survey of 1954). Prior to July 27, 1909, staff gage at site 1 mile downstream at different datum. July 27, 1909, to July 25, 1916, water-stage recorder at present site 

at datum 1.0 ft lower, July 26, 1916, to July 21, 1924, at datum 1.0 ft higher, and 

July 22, 1924, to Aug. 24, 1928, at datum 0.5 ft higher.

Average discharge. 51 years, 749 cfs (542,300 acre-ft per year), adjusted for storage 

since 1929.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 10,500 cfs Apr. 20 (gage height, 9.18 ft); min-

 Imuin7 111 cfs Sept. 14, 15, 20.

1907-58: Maximum discharge, 20,600 cfs Mar. 31, 1931 (gage height, 13.8 ft), by 

computation of peak flow over dam; minimum, 63 cfs Aug. 13-16, 1926.

Remarks. Records good. Plow regulated by Bull Run Lake and by Lake Ben Morrow (see 

p. 96 ); adjustment applied only for storage in Lake Ben Morrow.

During 1957 outlet works at Bull Run Lake were repaired to provide usable storage 

capacity of several thousand acre-feet, but during 1958, as in past years, flow from 

lake was not artificially regulated, reaching river through surface and underground 

channels. During 1958, a small earth-fill dam was constructed on North Fork Bull Run 

River to provide several hundred acre-feet of storage capacity. No diversions above 

station.

130 WILLAMETTE RIVEB BASIN

1690. Long Tom River below Pern Ridge Dam, near Smithfield, Oreg.

Location. Lat 44°07'25", long 123 0 17'50", in SE£ sec. 4, T. 17 S., R. 5 W., on left bank 

in canalized river channel, 1,000 ft downstream from Pern Ridge Dam, which impounds 

runoff of Long Tom River and Coyote Creek, and 2| miles south of Smithfield.

Drainage area. 252 sq mi, not including Amazon Creek basin.

Records available. August 1939 to September 1958. Prior to October 1943, published as 

"at Smithfleld."

Gage. Water-stage recorder and masonry control. Datum of gage is 332.00 ft above mean 

sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers). Prior to Sept. 21, 1939, 

staff gage and Sept. 21, 1939, to Sept. 13, 1943, water-stage recorder, 2| miles downstream at datum 11.09 ft lower.

Average discharge.--19 years, 560 cfs, adjusted for diversion to Coyote Creek since 1943 

(405,400 acre-ft per year).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 4,200 cfs Dec. 30: minimum daily, 41 cfs Mar. 23. 

 T939-58: Maximum discharge, 11,500 cfs Jan. 1, 1943 (gage height, 15.12 ft, site 

and datum then in use); minimum daily, 2 cfs Aug. 7, 1941.

Remarks. Records good. A few small diversions above station. Records include diversion 

for irrigation and stockwater to Coyote Creek channel through 24-inch concrete pipe 

600 ft long, record for which is based on daily staff-gage readings and occasional 

discharge measurements. The diversion is several hundred feet upstream and point of 

return to Long Tom River about 2| miles downstream. Fern Ridge Dam, 1,000 ft upstream 

from station, was completed in 1941, and has regulated flow since Nov. 13, 1941 (see 

preceding page). Discharge not adjusted for storage or release from Fern Ridge Dam 

as evaporation from reservoir at times exceeds natural flow and diversions, and 

beginning in November 1951 most of flow of Amazon Creek has been diverted in SEt sec. 

29, T. 17 S., R. 4 W., and discharged into Fern Ridge Reservoir; drainage area at 

point of diversion, 21.3 sq mi.

bank 350 ft upstream from railroad bridge at Jefferson, 2-1 miles (revised) downstream 

from confluence of North Santiam and South Santiam Rivers, and 9 miles upstream from 

mouth.

Drainage area. 1,790 sq mi, approximately.

Records available.--October 1905 to June 1906 (gage heights and discharge measurements 

only), October 1907 to September 1916, and October 1939 to September 1958 in reports 

of Geological Survey. Gage-height records collected at same site since April 1907 are 

contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

f

. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 199.63 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

929. Prior to Sept. 22, 1940, staff gages at sites within 350 ft downstream at 

different datums.

Average discharge. 28 years (1907-16, 1939-58), 7,775 cfs (5,629,000 acre-ft per year).

Extremes . Maximum discharge during year, 95,500 cfs Dec. 21 (gage height, 20.03 ft); minimum, 758 cfs Sept. 7, 8 (gage height, 1.81 ft).

height, 18.2 ft, from floodmark, site and datum then in use); corresponding gage height 

at present site, 23.0 ft, from curve of relation); minimum observed, 260 cfs Aug. 15-22, 

Aug. 24 to Sept. 2, 1940 (gage height, -1.00 ft, site and datum then in use).

Maximum discharge known, about 202,000 cfs Nov. 21, 1921 (gage height, 19.5 ft at 

railroad bridge 350 ft downstream, site and datum in use prior to Oct. 1, 1940; corresponding gage height at present site, 24.4 ft, from curve of relation).

Remarks. Records excellent. Plow regulated by Detroit Reservoir (see p. 139). Salem 

Canal diverts from North Santiam River at Stayton for irrigation and power use; most 

of this water reaches Willamette River through Mill Creek at Salem. Stayton Canal 

diverts from North Santiam River at Stayton for irrigation of lands near West Stayton; 

some return flow reaches North Santiam River above station. Albany power canal diverts 

from South Santiam River at Lebanon; return flow reaches Willamette River at Albany.

Haskins Creek Reservoir.--Lat 45°18'40", long 123°21'15", in NW^ sec. 18, T. 3 S.,

R. 5 W., on control tower 250 ft upstream from dam on Haskins Creek and 11 miles northwest of McMinnville. Drainage area, 7.1 sq mi, approximately. Records available, 

October 1951 to September 1958. Staff gage read once daily. Datum of gage is at mean 

sea level (levels by city of McMinnville). Maximum contents observed during year, 

744 acre-ft Dec. 6, Apr. 22, 29 (elevation, 835.5 ft); reservoir empty Dec. 16-18, 

Dec. 21 to Mar. 30, Apr. 5. 6. Maximum contents observed during period 1951-58, 

748 acre-ft Nov. 17, 1954 (elevation, 835.65 ft); reservoir empty most of time during 

winter months.

Reservoir is formed by earth-fill dam equipped with 5 siphon spillways which act as 

overflow weirs until priming occurs (approximately 835.5 ft elevation). Capacity of 

reservoir is 733 acre-ft between elevations 761.5 (invert of outlet tunnel) and 

835.0 ft (crest of siphon spillways). Rated capacity of three siphons is 700 cfs each 

and remaining two, 350 cfs each. Under normal operation, reservoir is filled in the 

spring (April or May) and drained when fall rains start. There is no planned storage 

during winter months; however, during periods of heavy runoff, inflow may be greater 

than capacity of outlet tunnel and there may be some temporary storage. Water is used 

for municipal supply of city of McMinnville.

Timothy Lake.--Lat 45°06'50", long 121°48'35", in NE-j sec. 27, T. 5 S., R. 8 E., in 

intake structure 350 ft upstream from dam on Oak Grove Fork, 0.5 mile upstream from 

Anvil Creek, and 14 miles south of Government Camp. Drainage area, 53.5 sq mi. Records available, May 1956 to September 1958. Prior to October 1957, published as 

Timothy Meadows Reservoir. Once-daily readings of Bristol pressure gage usually 

obtained by Three Lynx powerhouse personnel by microwave transmission. Datum of gage 

is at mean sea level (Portland General Electric Co. bench mark). Prior to Nov. 26, 

1956, staff gage at same site and datum. Maximum contents observed during year, 

66,820 acre-ft May 13, 14, 18-24, 27 (elevation, 3,190.8 ft); minimum observed, 39,920 

acre-ft Dec. 18, 19 (elevation, 3,169.3 ft). Maximum contents observed during period 

1956-58, that of May 13, 14. 18-24, 27, 1958; minimum observed, 16,010 acre-ft Feb. 24, 

1957 (elevation, 3,144.5 ft).

Reservoir is formed by earth-fill dam with concrete spillway built by Portland 

General Electric Co. Usable storage began May 28, 1956. Capacity, 65,710 acre-ft at 

elevation 3,190.0 ft (normal maximum operating level). Usable capacity, 61,650 acre-ft 

between elevations 3,125.0 (invert of outlet pipe) and 3,190.0 ft (top of taintor 

gates). Storage of 4,060 acre-ft below elevation 3,125.0 ft not normally available for 

release. Water is used for power generation.

 Ber 1913 to September 1917, March 1926 to September 1935, August 1946 to September 

1958. Estimated means October to December 1912 and July to September 1913, published 

in State Water-Supply Bulletin 5, have been found to be unreliable and should not be 

used.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 357.31 ft above mean sea level (levels by 

"city of Tacoma). Jan. 1, 1912, to Sept. 30, 1917, and Mar. 12, 1926, to Sept. 30, 1935, 

staff, chain, or wire-weight gages within 200 ft of present site at different daturas.

Average discharge. 26 years (1912-17, 1926-35, 1946-58), 5,384 cfs (3,898,000 acre-ft per 

year).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 22,600 cfs Apr. 21 (gage height, 15.18 ft); min-

 imum, 894 cfs Oct. 20-23 (gage height, 3.56 ft).

1912-17, 1926-35, 1946-58: Maximum discharge, 83,500 cfs Dec. 23, 1933 (gage height, 

37.53 ft, average of high-water marks, site and datum then in use), from rating curve 

extended above 20,000 cfs; minimum, 543 cfs Nov. 30, 1952 (gage height, 3.06 ft).

Maximum stage known since 1906, that of Dec. 23, 1933. Flood in November 1906 

reached a stage of 29.4 ft, datum in use 1913-34 (discharge, 61,300 cfs).

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are

 good. Minor diversions for domestic and farm use above station. No regulation.

Revisions (water years).--WSP 769: 1933. WSP 1318: 1913 (annual figures). WSP 1398:

Records available.--August 1927 to September 1958 (discontinued).

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 63.27 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

T929, supplementary adjustment of 1947. Prior to Mar. 12, 1934, at site l£ miles 

upstream at different datum.

Average discharge.--31 years, 178 cfs (128,900 acre-ft per year).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 2,620 cfs Dec. 19 (gage height, 10.20 ft); minimum daily, 4.6 cfs Aug. 27, 28.

ROGUE RIVER BASIN 253

3320. South Pork Rogue River near Prospect, Oreg.

Location. Lat 42°42', long 122°23', in NE£ sec. 18, T. 33 S., R. 4 E., on right bank 

500 ft downstream from diversion dam and intake of South Pork power canal, an eighth 

of a mile downstream from Imnaha Creek, and 6 miles southeast of Prospect.

Drainage area.--79 sq mi, approximately.

Records available . April 1924 to September 1931, October 1949 to September 1958. Equivalent records for period October 1931 to September 1949 may be obtained from combined 

flow of South Pork Rogue River above Imnaha Creek near Prospect and Imnaha Creek near 

Prospect.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Altitude of gage is 3,330 ft (from topographic map). Apr. 1, 

 1924, to Sept. 30, 1931, at site an eighth of a mile downstream at different datum.

Average discharge. 16 years, 184 cfs (133,200 acre-ft per year).

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 940 cfs Feb. 16; minimum daily, 80 cfs Nov. 2,

1924-31, 1949-58: Maximum discharge, 3,180 cfs Dec. 22, 1955 (no flow in canal), 

from rating curve extended above 410 cfs on basis of computation of peak flow over dam; 

minimum daily, about 35 cfs in September 1931, during period of no gage-height record.

Remarks. Records fair. All records presented herein include flow in South Pork power 

canal (completed in March 1932) which diverts 500 ft above station and returns water 

to Rogue River above South Pork Rogue River; practically no storage above diversion 

dam.

Cooperation. Electrical-output record for power canal furnished by The California Oregon 

Powe«er Co. 

Revisions (water years). WSP 1318: 1925(M), 1927(M), 1930(M).

Location. Lat 42°23', long 122°21', in SE^ sec. 4, T. 37 S., R. 4 E., on right bank 

hair a mile downstream from Pish Lake and 14 miles east of Lake Creek.

Drainage area. 18 sq mi, approximately.

Records available. October 1914 to July 1915, June 1916 to September 1958. Monthly 

discharge only November 1916 to May 1917, published in WSP 1318. Prior to 1938, 

"Lake Creek" sometimes published as "Lakeoreek."

Gage.--Water-stage recorder and, since Nov. 8, 1955, concrete control. Datum of gage is 

4",571.41 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1947. 

Oct. 1, 1914, to July 31, 1915, staff gage at site half a mile upstream at different 

datum. June 1, 1916, to July 9, 1918, staff gage and July 10, 1918, to Oct. 28, 1932, 

water-stage recorder, at site a quarter of a mile upstream at different daturas.

Average discharge. 42 years (1916-58), 36.1 cfs (26,140 acre-ft per year).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 132 cfs Aug. 11, 12 (gage height, 1.74 ft); 

minimum, 2.2 cfs Oct. 1.

1914-58: Maximum discharge, about 940 cfs June 5, 1917, computed from rate of 

change in contents in reservoir after break in dam occurred; no flow at times.

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

are fair, and those for periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Since 1915, 

Pish Lake (see p. 275) has stored water for irrigation by Medford Irrigation District. 

Cascade Canal diverts from Fourmile Lake in Klamath River basin and discharges into 

lava bed 1? miles above Pish Lake; diversion began August 1923. No diversion from 

creek above station.

276 DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES

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

exceeds the number of stream-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological Survey collects limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gaging stations. 

When limited streamflow data are collected on a systematic basis over a period of years for 

use in hydrologic analyses, the site at which the data are collected is called a partialrecord station. Data collected at these partial-record stations are usable in low-flow or 

flood-flow analyses, depending on the type of data collected. In addition, discharge 

measurements are made at other sites not included in the partial-record program. These 

measurements are generally made in times of drought or flood to give better areal coverage 

to those events. Those measurements and others collected for some special reason are 

called measurements at miscellaneous sites.

Records collected at partial-record stations are generally presented in two tables. 

However, no records at low-flow partial-record stations are available for the 1958 water 

year. A table of annual maximum discharge at crest-stage stations is given first, followed 

by a table of measurements made at miscellaneous sites for both low flow and high flow.

Crest-stage partial-record stations

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

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

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

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

nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local inquiry. Only the maximum 

discharge for each water year is given. Information on some lower floods may have been 

obtained but is not published herein. The years given in the period of record represent 

water years for which the annual maximum has been determined. The maximum discharge for 

each year since the crest-stage gage was established is given. The peak discharge for 

some years may have been published in a previous report as a measurement of discharge. 

Figures given herein supersede all previous figures of peak discharge for the floods 

listed.
