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, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites In the South Atlantic 

slope basins, James River to Savannah River 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:

Information of a more detailed nature than that published for most of the gaging stations given in this report is on file In the district offices listed above. All gagingstation records for North Carolina and Virginia have been analyzed by electronic computer 

to give: (1) the number of days in each year that the dally discharge was between 

selected limits (duration tables); and (2) the lowest mean discharge for periods of 7, 15, 

30, 60, 120, and 183 consecutive days in each year. In addition, the records for North 

Carolina give the highest mean discharge for periods of 3, 7, 15, 30, and 120 consecutive 

days In each year. Provisional records of discharge, information on the availability of 

electronic computer results, and other unpublished data concerning the gaglng-station records may generally be obtained from the district office.

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS

The terms of streamflow and other hydrologic data, as used In this report, are defined 

as follows:

Gaging station Is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir 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 streamflow data are collected 

systematically over a period of years for use In hydrologic analyses.

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

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

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

water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, assuming that 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.
DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBERS 3

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 specific 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. 

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-statlon 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 2A-0125.00, the station number shown in this report is
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 2-A

125. The notation In the two places to the left of the hyphen is the part number; it is 

2A 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.

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 daily mean discharge, from which the monthly and the yearly mean discharge 

are computed. If the stage-discharge relation is subject to change because of frequent or 

continual change In the physical features that form the control, the daily mean discharge 

Is determined by the shifting-control method, in which correction factors based on individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used in applying 

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

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

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

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation Is affected by backwater from reservoirs, tributary streams, or other sources. This necessitates the use of the slope 

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

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

used as a factor in the determination of discharge.

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

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

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

occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and 

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

stage-discharge relation is affected by ice, this information is given in a note to the 

table. No mention is made of occasional days of ice effect if the degree of accuracy of 

daily records is not changed.
EXPLANATION OF DATA 5

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 the present site. 

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

above mean sea level, and a condensed history of the types, locations, and daturas of previous gages used during the period of records available. Under "Average discharge" is 

given the average discharge for the number of years indicated. It is not given for stations having fewer than five complete years of record or for stations where changes in 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

major floods that have occurred outside the period of record 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 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
6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 2-A

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 generally published for all stations except those at which 

the daily discharge for the greater part of the open-water period was determined by the 

shifting-control 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 or. canals.

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

sudden or rapid fluctuation, the d≪y table gives the discharge corresponding to the 

daily 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 nonrecordir^ 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
ACCURACY OP FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS 7

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 

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 AND COMPUTED RESULTS

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

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

The station description states the degree of accuracy of the records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the error in the daily records is believed 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
8 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 2-A

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.

PUBLICATIONS

To facilitate publication of the annual series of reports, the area of the United 

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

lines. Formerly, the results of streamflow measurements were published in 14 volumes, one 

for each of the 14 parts. Beginning with the reports for 1951, the records are published 

in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. The boundaries of the

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

been published as Water-Supply Paper 1303. 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

Note. The Agricultural Research Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture has collected records of runoff from four areas of 185 to 1,450 acres in Brunswick and Halifax Counties, Va., beginning In 1958. These records are in the files of the Agricultural Research Service.

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

Streamflow was excessive in most of North and South Carolina during November to January 

and April to June. In May, the entire area covered by this report had excessive streamflow. Blackwater River at Zuni, Va., had record-high monthly mean discharge in May and 

June. Neuse River near Clayton. N. C., was record-high in May, while Lynches River at 

Effingham, S. C., equaled the previous high for May. A few small streams in southern 

North Carolina had flood peaks in November reported to be the highest in 25 years; others 

had peaks in August that were the highest in about 15 years. The only deficient streamflow during the year was in South Carolina in September.

Figure 2 on page 12, for which i-ecords of three long-term gaging stations were used, 

shows a comparison of the monthly and yearly mean discharge for the 1958 water year with 

the median discharge for the period 1921-45.

42 ROANOKE RIVER BASIN

550. Roanoke River at Roanoke, Va.

Location. Lat 37°15'30", long 79°56'20", on left bank 50 ft downstream from Walnut

Street Bridge In Roanoke, Roanoke County, 3.2 miles upstream from Tinker Creek, and at 

mile 360.6.

Drainage area. 388 sq mi.

Records available. February 1899 to September 1958. Monthly discharge only for some 

periods, published In WSP 1303. Records for July 1896 to January 1899 published 

in WSP 11, 15, 27 and 20th Annual Report, Part 4, have been found to be unreliable, 

due to doubtful gage-height record, and should not be used.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage Is 906.84 ft above mean sea level (levels by 

Corps of Engineers). Prior to June 7, 1937, wire-weight or chain gage on downstream 

side of highway bridge 50 ft upstream at same datum.

Average discharge. 59 years, 383 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 5,760 cfs May 6 (gage height, 7.21 ft); minimum, 

67 cfs Sept. 17 (gage height, 0.65 ft); minimum daily, 70 cfs Sept. 12, 13, 16.

1899-1958: Maximum discharge, 26,400 cfs Aug. 14, 1940 (gage height, 18.25 ft), 

from rating curve extended above 15,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting on basis of slopearea measurement, and records for other stations in Roanoke River basin; practically 

no flow Dec. 23, 1909, when flow was retarded by freezing (gage height, 0.0 ft); minimum dally, 27 cfs Feb. 20, 1934.

Remarks. Records good. Diurnal fluctuation at low flow caused by powerplant above station.

Revisions (water .years) . WSP 972: 1928, 1930,1933. WSP 1433: 1899-1904, 1914-17(M) , 

1918-24, 1925-34(M)V 1935, 1936-40(M). See also Records available.

Records available. December 1911 to September 1958. Prior to January 1933, published as 

''at Old Gaston." Records published for both sites February 1930 to December 1932. 

Gage-height records collected at site of auxiliary gage since November 1890 are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Gage. Water-stage recorder at present site and datum since February 1930. Datum of gage 

Is 43.84 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936. 

Dec. 7, 1911, to Nov. 21, 1921, and Apr. 7 to Dec. 31, 1932, chain gage and Nov. 21, 

1921, to Apr. 7, 1932, water-stage recorder, both at site 9 miles upstream at different 

datum. Since Aug. 6, 1941, auxiliary water-stage recorder 3.6 miles downstream from 

base gage.

Average discharge.--46 years (1912-58), 8,264 cfs (adjusted for storage).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 60,700 cfs May 7 (gage height, 16.52 ft); minimum, 414 cfs Nov. 29 (gage height, 1.19 ft); minimum daily. 649 cfs Nov. 17.

1911-58: Maximum discharge, 261,000 cfs Aug. 18, 1940 (gage height, 39.0 ft, from 

floodmarks); minimum, about 250 cfs Dec. 16, 1955; minimum daily, 472 cfs Sept. 21, 1932.

Flood in November 1877 at Old Gaston reached a stage about 2 ft lower than flood in 

August 1940, which was 21.5 ft.

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

Flow regulated since August 1950 by Philpott Reservoir on Smith River (usable capacity, 

145,200 acre-ft) and by John H. Kerr Reservoir (usable capacity, 2,324,300 acre-ft) and 

since June 1955 by Roanoke Rapids Reservoir (usable capacity, 79,600 acre-ft).

 HTorps of Engineers). Prior to Nov. 19, 1927, at datum 1.30 ft higher.

Average discharge. 31 years, 155 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 5,200 cfs Apr. 11 (gage height, 11.38 ft); mini-

 mum, 2.8 cfs Oct. 13, 14, 15 (gage height, 0.71 ft). «.»,.

1927-58: Maximum discharge, 19,700 cfs July 26, 1938 (gage height, 19.50 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 4,000 cfs on basis of computation of peak flow over Durham 

municipal dam at gage heights 13.1, 13.60, 14.60, 16.70, and 19.50 ft; no flow Sept. 3- 

14, 1938 (result of construction work upstream).

965. Haw River at Haw River, N. C.

Location. Lat 36°05', long 79°22', on left bank at town of Haw River, Alamance County, 

650 ft downstream from Southern Railway bridge and 3 miles downstream from Stony Creek.

Drainage area.--599 sq mi.

Records available. October 1928 to September 1958.

Sage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 471.69 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

T929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Average discharge. 30 years, 577 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 11,300 cfs Nov. 25 (gage height, 19.97 ft); minimum, 23 cfs Sept. 21; minimum daily, 41 cfs Sept. 20.

1928-58: Maximum discharge, 37,000 cfs Sept. 18, 1945 (gage height, 31.10 ft, from 

floodmark), from rating curve extended above 26,000 cfs on basis of contracted-opening 

measurement of peak flow; minimum, 3 cfs Sept. 5, 1930 (gage height, 0.92 ft); minimum 

daily, 5 cfs Sept. 6, 1930.

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

Large diurnal fluctuation and some regulation for short periods at low flow caused by 

powerplants above station. City of Burlington diverted from Stony Creek an average of 

6.5 cfs for municipal supply, about 3.9 cfs of which is returned above station as sewage, and 2.6 cfs is returned to Haw River below station. Records of chemical analyses 

for the water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

1928-58: Maximum discharge, 20,000 cfs Sept. 25, 1947 (gage height, 32.2 ft, from 

floodmark), from rating curve extended above 7,100 cfs on basis of contracted-opening 

measurement of peak flow at bridge 1^ miles upstream; minimum, 0.5 cfs Nov. 28, 1931 

(gage height, 1.41 ft); minimum daily, 1.2 cfs Nov. 12, 1933.

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

Large diurnal fluctuation at low flow caused by Coltrane's mill. Flow slightly regulated by High Point Lake (capacity, 220,588,000 cu ft). City of High Point diverts 

about 8 cfs for municipal supply and discharges sewage effluent about two-thirds Into 

Rlchland Creek above station and remainder into Rich Fork Creek In Pee Dee River basin.

Revisions (water years). WSP 782: 1929-30. WSP 1383: 1934-35, 1941.

* Discharge measurement made on this day.
PEE DEE RIVER BASIN 129

1190. South Yadkln River at Cooleemee, N. C.

Location.--Lat 35°48', long 80°34', on left bank 150 ft downstream from tallrace of Erwin 

Cotton Mills at Cooleemee, Davie County, 550 ft upstream from bridge on State Highway 801, 2f miles downstream from Bear Creek, and 2j miles upstream from Third Creek.

Drainage area. 569 sq mi.

Records available.--June 1928 to September 1958. Monthly discharge only for some periods, 

published in WSP 1303. Figures of discharge above 2,000 cfs are subject to error owing 

to absence of sufficient information to make corrections for backwater-from tributary 

inflow and High Rock Lake.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 624.57 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

T929, supplementary adjustment of 1936 (levels by Corps of Engineers).

Average discharge. 30 years, 614 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 12.500 cfs Apr. 29 (gage height, 22.60 ft); minimum, 176 cfs Jan. 6 (gage height, 1.58 ft); minimum daily, 235 cfs Sept. 30.

1928-58: Maximum discharge 24,800 cfs Oct. 3, 1929 (gage height, 32.25 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 7,500 cfs on basis of computation of peak flow over dam half 

a mile upstream; minimum, 10 cfs Nov. 25, 1931 (gage height, 0.40 ft); minimum daily, 

23 cfs Oct. 12, 19, 1941.

Flood of July 16, 1916, reached a stage of 27.2 ft, from floodmark in Erwin Cotton 

Mill.

Remarks. Records fair except those above 1,500 cfs and those for periods of no gageheight record, which are poor. Large diurnal fluctuation and slight regulation during 

low and medium flow caused by Erwin Cotton Mill above station.

Revisions (water years).--WSP 822: 

available.

PEE DEE RIVER BASIN

1194. Third Creek subwatershed No. 7 A {Third Creek) near Stony Point, N. C.

Location. Lat 35°52'20", long 81"04'00", on left bank 200 ft upstream from dam on Third 

Creek, 900 ft upstream from highway bridge, ij- miles northwest of Stony Point, Alexander County, and 2-p miles upstream from Alexander-Iredell County line.

Draniage area. 4.84 sq mi.

Records available.--December 1955 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and sharp-crested weir. Datum of gage is 976 ft above mean 

sea level (levels by Soil Conservation Service).

Extremes. Maximum outflow during year, 66 cfs Apr. 28 (gage height, 14.09 ft); minimum, 

2.2 cfs Sept. 19, 20. Maximum inflow, 540 cfs (average for 30-minute period) June 1, 

computed from outflow and change in reservoir contents, adjusted for rainfall on reservoir surface during time of peak inflow.

1955-58: Maximum outflow, 67 cfs Sept. 27, 1956, Sept. 17, 1957; maximum gage 

height, 14.42 ft Sept. 27, 1956; no flow May 10-15, 1956 (result of reservoir storage). 

Maximum inflow, that of June I, 1958.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record or indefinite 

stage-discharge relation, which are poor. Records of daily discharge are outflow from 

reservoir, determined from stage-discharge relation for outlet structure. Peak inflow 

rates are determined for short intervals of time on basis of change in reservoir 

contents and outflow. Reservoir is formed by earth dam; dam completed and storage 

began in December 1955. Outlet structure is 3 x 3 x 9-foot concrete drop inlet connected to a 24-inch concrete outlet pipe. Top of drop inlet is at elevation 978 ft. 

A 2-foot sharp-crested rectangular weir is set in one side of the drop inlet with crest 

at elevation 977 ft. There is an emergency spillway at elevation 1,003 ft. Top of dam 

embankment is 1,010 ft. There is an 18-inch diameter cleanout gate at elevation 969.5 

ft at bottom of drop inlet. Available capacity. 876 acre-ft between elevations 977 ft 

(crest of weir) and 1,003 ft (crest of spillway). Records of suspended sediment loads 

for the water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

The following table gives the relation between gage height and outflow (except 

periods Mar. 2 to Apr. 2, Aug. 16 to Sept. 19, when cleanout gate in dam was partly 

open), reservoir capacity, and water-surface area during the 1958 water year.

PEE DEE RIVER BASIN 131

1205. Third Creek at Cleveland, N. C.

Location. Lat 35°45', long 80°41 r , on left bank 200 ft downstream from highway bridge, 

three-quarters of a mile north of Cleveland, Rowan County, and 7 miles upstream from 

Fourth Creek.

Drainage area. 87.4 sq ml.

Records available.--April 1940 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 684.47 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936. Prior to May 22, 1950, on right bank at site 

200 ft upstream at same datum.

Average discharge. 18 years, 86.9 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 1,900 cfs Apr. 29 (gage height, 10.46 ft); minimum, 29 cfs Sept. 11, 15, 19, 20.

1940-58: Maximum discharge, 3,080 cfs about Sept. 19, 1945 (gage height, 15.76 ft, 

from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 900 cfs by logarithmic plotting; 

minimum. 10 cfs Sept. 19, 20, Oct. 7, 1954, Sept. 18, 19, 21, 22, 1956 (gage height, 

0.20 ft).

Maximum stage known, 22.5 ft, sometime in July 1916, from floodmark witnessed by 

local resident. Creek channel improved considerably by dredging since 1916.

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

for period of no gage-height record, which are poor. Town of Statesville diverts about 

1 cfs sewage effluent into basin above station. Six flood-detention reservoirs (combined capacity 2,710 acre-ft) in operation upstream at end of water year. Main stem 

creek banks cleared of vegetation from point 4 miles below gage to Third Creek Subwatershed No. 7A near Stony Point in the headwaters. Clearing began in 1955 and was 

completed in 1958.

sea level, unadjusted.

Average discharge. 20 years, 318 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge and gage height unknown, probably occurred Jan. 25; minimum, 

7.5 cfs Sept. 30 (gage height, 0.77 ft); minimum dally, 11 cfs Sept. 30.

1938-58: Maximum discharge, 23,300 cfs Sept. 18, 1945 (gage height, 26.22 ft, from 

floodmark), from rating curve extended above 13,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 0.5 cfs Sept. 21, Oct. 13, 14, 1941; minimum dally, 0.5 cfs Oct. 13, 1941.

138 PEE DEE RIVER BASIN

1290. Pee Dee River near Rockingham, N. C.

Location. Lat 34°56'40", long 79°52'10", on left bank at bridge on U. S. Highway 74, 

2.5 miles upstream from Falling Greek, 3.3 miles downstream from Blewett Falls hydroelectric plant, 6 miles west of Rockingham, Richmond County, and at mile 187.

Drainage area. 6,870 sq mi, approximately.

Records available. August 1906 to January 1912, September 1927 to September 1958. Published asYadkin River near Pee Dee, N. C., August 1906 to January 1912.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 120.68 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers). August 1906 to January 1912 staff gage at site 

4 miles upstream at different datum. September 1927 to Sept. 30, 1931, water-stage recorder at present site at datum 1.00 ft higher.

Average discharge.--36 years (1906-11, 1927-58), 7,767 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 74.7UO cfs Apr. 30 (gage height, 13.10 ft); minimum, 170 cfs Sept. 29 (gage height, 0.65 ft); minimum daily, 584 cfs Sept. 28.

1906-12, 1927-58: Maximum discharge, 276,000 cfs Aug. 27, 1908 (gage height, 31.28 

ft, present site and datum, from records of State Highway Commission), from rating curve 

extended above 194,000 cfs; minimum, 50 cfs Dec. 2,3, 1951; minimum daily, 58 cfs 

Dec. 2,1951, result of abnormally low shutdown of Blewett Falls hydroelectric plant to 

produce steady flow for current-meter measurements at this gaging station; minimum discharge from normal regulations, 96 cfs Oct. 25, 1943; minimum daily, 142 cfs Sept. 16, 

1956.

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

Large diurnal fluctuation caused by powerplants above station. Flow largely regulated 

since 1928 by four reservoirs above station which have a combined usable capacity for 

normal operation of 24,259,016,000 cu ft. Records of chemical analyses and water temperatures for the water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

Revisions (water years). tfSP 822: Drainage area. WSP 1203: 1928-37. WSP 1303: 1928-

1385. Linville River at Branch, N. C.

Location. Lat 35°47'50", long 81°53'20", on right bank 20 ft downstream from bridge on 

State Highway 126 at Branch, Burke County, and 0.2 mile upstream from Lake James.

Drainage area. 65 sq mi, approximately.

Records available. May 1907 to August 1908 (fragmentary, published as "at Ponta Flora"), 

June 1922 to September 1958. Records for October to December 1908, "at Ponta Flora," 

published in WSP 242 have been found unreliable and should not be used.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1,205.87 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936. May 1907 to August 1908 staff gage about

I.2 miles downstream at different datum. June 1922 to Aug. 12, 1937, staff gage at 

present site and datum.

Average discharge.--36 years (1922-58), 140 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 2,740 cfs Dec. 20 (gage height, 5.00 ft); minimum, 25 cfs Sept. 9-12, 19, 28-30.

1907-8, 1922-58: Maximum discharge, 39,500 cfs Aug. 13, 1940 (gage height,

II.4 ft), from rating curve extended above 6,400 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow; minimum, 2 cfs Jan. 9, 1956 (result of freezeup); minimum daily, 

8 cfs Sept. 7-9, 1925.

Flood in July 1916 reached a stage about 0.4 ft lower than that of Aug. 13, 1940.

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

Revisions (water years).--WSP 892: 1929, 1935, 1937. WSP 1503: 1923(M), 1924-28, 1930, 

1932-33(M), 1938(M), 1939(P). See also Records available.

Records available. May 1907 to June 1909 (fragmentary, published as "at Uree"), March 

1927 to September 1958 (discontinued). Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1303.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Altitude of gage is 860 ft (from topographic map). May 17, 

1907, to June 30, 1909, staff gage at site 1 1/8 miles downstream at different datum.

Average discharge. 31 years (1927-58), 169 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 710 cfs Apr. 28, 29 (gage height, 2.45 ft); minimum, 2.7 cfs Jan. 18-20 (gage height, 0.49 ft); minimum daily, 2.7 cfs Jan. 19.

1907-9, 1927-58: Maximum discharge, 26,000 cfs Aug. 15, 1928 (gage height, 16.8 ft), 

from rating curve extended / above 4,200 cfs on basis of computation of peak flow over 

Lake Lure Dam at gage heights 12.2 and 16.8 ft; minimum, 0.7 cfs Sept. 13, 1928 (gage 

height, 0.26 ft); minimum daily, 0.8 cfs Sept. 13, 14, 24, 26, 1928.

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

Large diurnal fluctuation and complete regulation at low flow caused by powerplant 

above station.

Average discharge.--17 years, 582 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 2.970 cfs Apr. 29 (gage height, 6.65 ft); mini- 

 mum, 48 cfs May 17 (gage height, 1.84 ft); minimum daily 177 cfs Sept. 26.

1941-58: Maximum discharge, 11,000 cfs Oct. 7, 1949 (gage height, 19.38 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 7,500 cfs on basis of computation of peak flow over dam at 

Saluda Lake; minimum, 28 cfs Feb. 1, 1956 (gage height, 1.65 ft); minimum daily, 70 cfs

a No gage-height record; discharge estimated on basis of weather records and records for Broad 

River at Richtex and Saluda River near Columbia.
SANTEE RIVER BASIN 201

1705. Lakes Marion-Moultrie diversion canal near Pineville, S. C.

Location.--Lat 33°23 I 15", long 80°08'25", on right bank 0.6 mile upstream from bridge on 

State Highway 45 and 7.0 miles southwest of Pineville, Berkeley County.

Records available.--October 1943 to September 1958. Monthly discharge only for some 

periods, published in WSP 1303.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 60.0 ft above mean sea level, datum of

1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936 (levels by South Carolina Public Service Authority). Auxiliary water-stage recorder 3.9 miles downstream from base gage.

Average discharge. 15 years, 13,330 cfs.

Extremes. 1943-58: Maximum daily discharge, 40,200 cfs Mar. 10, 1952; maximum daily 

reverse flow, 12,100 cfs Feb. 9, 1947.

Remarks. Records good except those for period of fragmentary gage-height record, which 

are fair, and those for periods of very low fall between gages, which are poor. Canal 

diverts water from Lake Marion to Lake Moultrie for generation of power and for navigation. Water is discharged from powerplant and navigation lock into West Branch Cooper 

River.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 59,700 cfs Nov. 30 (gage height, 25.85 ft); minimum daily, 354 cfs Nov. 2.

1942-58: Maximum discharge, 155,000 cfs Sept. 23, 1945 (gage height, 31.1 ft, from 

floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 13,000 cfs by computation of flow over 

spillway at Lake Marion and by logarithmic plotting; minimum daily. 9 cfs Feb. 23, 

1947 (caused by repair work at spillway).

Remarks. Records good. Flow completely regulated by Lake Marion (see preceding page). 

Water is diverted above station from Lake Marion through canal (see p. 202) into Lake 

Moultrie (see following page) for generation of power and for navigation, then discharged into Cooper River basin.

SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN 223

1890. Savannah River near Calhoun Palls , S. C .

Location.--Lat 34°04' , long 82°38' , on left bank 150 ft upstream from bridge on State High 

way 72, 1 mile downstream from Seaboard Air Line Railroad bridge, l| miles downstream 

from Rocky River, 3 miles southwest of Calhoun Palls, Abbeville County, and at mile 

264.7 upstream from Savannah, Ga.

Drainage area.--2 .876 sq mi.

Records available.--August 1896 to August 1898, March 1899 to December 1900, January to 

December 1903, March 1930 to July 1932, April 1938 to September 1958. Published as "at 

Calhoun Palls," 1897-99. Records for January 1901 to December 1902, published in 

WSP 65, 75, and 83 have been found unreliable, and should not be used. Gage-height rec 

ords collected at original site 1 mile upstream during 1899-1928 and at present site 

since 1928 are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 363.53 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936. Prior to March 1930, chain gage at railroad 

bridge 1 mile upstream at different datum.

Average discharge. 23 years (1896-97, 1899-1900, 1930-31, 1938-58), 4,887 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 38,100 cfs Nov. 19 (gage height, 6.76 ft); minimum, 1,520 cfs Sept. 30; minimum daily, 1,630 cfs Sept. 29.

1896-1900, 1903, 1930-32, 1938-58: Maximum discharge, 96,500 cfs Aug. 13, 1940 

(gage height, 11.52 ft), from rating curve extended above 50,000 cfs on basis of velocity-area studies and logarithmic plotting; minimum, 492 cfs Sept. 21, 1954; minimum 

daily, 636 cfs Oct. 12, 1954.

Maximum stage known, 28.2 ft Aug. 25, 1908, original site and datum, from records of 

U. S. Weather Bureau.

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

Some regulation by Burton and Mathis Reservoirs (see p.214 for monthly change in 

contents) and powerplants above station.

224 SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN

1891. North Fork Broad River subwatershed No. 2 (Denmans Creek) near Toccoa, Ga.

Location. Lat 34°33 I , long 83°22', at edge of pool near right end of earthflll dam, 

0.5 mile upstream from mouth and 3 miles west of Toccoa, Stephens County.

Drainage area. 0.96 sq ml.

Records available . April 1956 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and V-notch sharp-crested weir on concrete drop Inlet. Datum 

of gage Is 846.26 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Soil Conservation 

Service).

Extremes. Maximum outflow during year, 27 cfs Feb. 26 (gage height, 6.52 ft); minimum, 

0.36 cfs Oct. 11 (gage height, 5.58 ft).

1956-58: Maximum outflow, 35 cfs Apr. 5, 1957 (gage height, 6.79 ft); minimum, 

0.15 cfs Sept. 21, 22, 1956 (gage height, 5.45 ft).

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record or backwater 

Trom debris, which are fair. Records of dally discharge are outflow from reservoir, 

determined from stage-discharge relation for outlet structure. Reservoir Is formed by 

earth dam; dam completed and storage began In April 1956. Outlet structure Is a 

3-foot square concrete drop Inlet connected to a 20-Inch concrete outlet pipe. A 120° 

V-notch sharp-crested weir Is set on side of drop Inlet, with notch at gage height 

5.20 ft. Top of drop Inlet Is at gage height 5.87 ft, emergency spillway at gage 

height 25.9 ft. There Is an 18-Inch diameter cleanout gate at the bottom of drop Inlet 

at gage height -2.60 ft. Reservoir capacity at top of drop Inlet, 18.7 acre-ft. Capacity at emergency spillway level, 200 acre-ft. In addition, about 0.8 sq ml of drainage area above station Is partly controlled by abandoned railroad embankment which In 

effect acts as a flood-detention dam.

The following table gives the relation between gage height and outflow (except 

periods of backwater from debris), reservoir capacity, and water-surface area during 

the 1958 water year.

226 SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN

1896. North Fork Broad River subwatershed No. 6 (Bear Creek) near Mlze, Ga.

Location. Lat 34°29', long 83°19', at edge of pool, 255 ft upstream from left end of 

earthflll dam on Bear Creek, 1 mile upstream from mouth, and 2 miles east of Mlze, 

Stephens County.

Drainage area.--3.62 sq ml.

Records available. December 1956 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and V-notch sharp-crested weir on concrete drop Inlet. Datum 

of gage is 743.13 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Soil Conservation 

Service).

Extremes.--Maximum outflow during year, 36 cfs Feb. 27 (gage height, 10.07 ft); minimum, 

2.1 cfs Nov. 7, 8 (gage height, 7.83 ft). Maximum Inflow, 316 cfs (average for 

15-minute Interval) July 14, computed from outflow and change In reservoir contents; 

negligible rainfall occurred on reservoir surface during time of peak Inflow.

1956-58: Maximum outflow, 38 cfs Apr. 5, 1957 (gage height, 12.1 ft); mimumum, 

0.88 cfs Aug. 14, 1957 (gage height, 7.64 ft). Maximum Inflow, that of July 14, 1958.

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

Records of dally discharge are outflow from reservoir, determined from stage-discharge 

relation for outlet structure. Reservoir Is formed by earth dam; dam completed and 

storage began In November 1956. Outlet structure Is a 3-foot square concrete drop Inlet 

connected to a 20-Inch concrete outlet pipe. Two 120° V-notch sharp-crested weirs are 

set on opposite sides of the drop Inlet, with notches at gage height 7.33 ft. Top of 

drop Inlet Is at gage height 8.00 ft; emergency spillway at gage height 21.0 ft. There 

Is an 18-Inch diameter cleanout gate at bottom of drop Inlet at gage height 0.50 ft. 

Reservoir capacity at top of drop Inlet, 118 acre-ft. Capacity at emergency spillway 

level, 920 acre-ft.

The following table gives the relation between gage height and outflow, reservoir 

capacity, and water-surface area during the 1958 water year.

228 SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN

1901. North Fork Broad River subwatershed No. 11 (Toms Creek) near Eastanollee, Ga.

Location. Lat 34°29', long 83°15', at edge of pool, about 750 ft upstream from left end 

of earthflll dam, 2 miles south of Eastanollee, Stephens County, and 4 miles upstream 

from mouth.

Drainage area. 3.79 sq ml.

Records available. October 1956 to September 1958.

Sage. Water-stage recorder and V-notch sharp-crested weir on concrete drop inlet. Datum 

of gage is 730.60 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Soil Conservation 

Service).

Extremes.--Maximum outflow during year, 30 cfs Aug. 25 (gage height, 11.66 ft, from floodmark); minimum, 2.2 cfs July 2, 3 (gage height, 8.84 ft). Maximum Inflow, 360 cfs 

(average for 15-minute interval) Aug. 24, computed from outflow and change In reservoir contents; negligible rainfall occurred on reservoir surface during time of peak 

inflow.

1956-58: Maximum outflow, that of Aug. 25, 1958; maximum gage height, 13.30 ft 

Apr. 5, 1957 (backwater from debris); minimum, 0.95 cfs Sept. 7, 1957 (gage height, 

8.67 ft). Maximum Inflow, that of Aug. 24, 1958.

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

Records of daily discharge are outflow from reservoir, determined from stage-discharge 

relation for outlet structure. Reservoir Is formed by earth dam; dam completed and 

storage began in August 1956. Outlet structure is a 3-foot square concrete drop inlet 

connected to a 20-inch concrete outlet pipe. Two 120° V-notch sharp-crested weirs are 

set on opposite sides of the drop Inlet, with notches at gage height 8.33 ft. Top of 

drop inlet is at gage height 9.00 ft; emergency spillway at gage height 21.2 ft. There 

is an 18-inch diameter cleanout gate at bottom of drop inlet at gage height 2.50 ft. 

Reservoir capacity at top of drop inlet, 115 acre-ft. Capacity at emergency spillway 

level, 860 acre-ft.

The following table gives the relation between gage height and outflow, reservoir 

capacity, and water-surface area during the 1958 water year.

SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN

1902. North Fork Broad River subwatershed No. 14 near Avalon, Ga.

Location. Lat 34°30', long 83°13', at upstream edge of crown in earth-fill dam on unnamed tributary to Toms Creek, 0.8 mile upstream from mouth and 1.6 miles southwest of 

Avalon, Stephens County.

Drainage area. 1.20 sq mi.

Records available. November 1954 to September 1958.

Sage. Water-stage recorder and V-notch sharp-crested weir on concrete drop inlet. Datum 

of gage is 735.33 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Soil Conservation 

Service}.

Extremes. Maximum outflow during year, 28 cfs Aug. 24 (gage height, 8.55 ft); minimum, 

OT8T cfs Sept. 27-30 (gage height, 5.46 ft). Maximum inflow, 350 cfs (average for 

S-minute interval) Aug. 24, computed from outflow and change in reservoir contents; no 

rainfall occurred on reservoir surface during time of peak inflow.

1954-58: Maximum outflow, 67 cfs Feb. 6, 1955 (gage height, 7.56 ft); no flow 

Dec. 24-28, 1954, Nov. 22-26, 1955, caused by closing of reservoir drain valve. Maximum inflow, 628 cfs (average for 15-minute interval) July 5, 1956, computed from outflow and change in reservoir contents; negligible rainfall occurred on reservoir 

surface during time of peak inflow.

Remarks.--Records good except those above 12 cfs Oct. 1 to Mar. 19 and those for period 

of no gage-height record, which are fair. Records of daily discharge are outflow from 

reservoir, determined from stage-discharge relation for outlet structure. Reservoir is 

formed by earth dam; dam completed and storage began in October 1954. Outlet structure 

is a 3-foot square concrete drop inlet connected to a 30-inch concrete outlet pipe, An 

18-inch orifice installed at the upstream end of the outlet pipe Nov. 21, 1955. A 120° 

V-notch sharp-crested weir is set on one side of the drop inlet, with notch at gage 

height 5.00 ft. Top of drop inlet is at gage height 5.75 ft; emergency spillway at 

gage height 22.2 ft. There is a 24-inch diameter cleanout gate at bottom of drop inlet 

at gage height -2.75 ft. Reservoir capacity at top of drop inlet, 26.5 acre-ft. Capacity at emergency spillway level, 270 acre-ft. Records of suspended sediment loads 

for water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

240 SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN

1985. Savannah River near Clyo, Ga.

Location.--Lat 32°31'30", long 81°15'45", on downstream side of center pier of drawspan 

of bridge on Seaboard Air Line Railroad, 3 miles north of Clyo, Effingham County, and 

at mile 50.1 upstream from Savannah.

Drainage area. 9,850 sq mi, approximately.

Records available. October 1929 to September 1933, October 1937 to September 1958. 

Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1303. Gage-height records 

collected at same site 1921-43 by U. S. Weather Bureau (unpublished prior to 1933).

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 13.41 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936. Prior to Jan. 31, 1933, staff gage at same 

site at datum 4.00 ft higher. Jan. 31, 1933, to June 12, 1945, staff gage at same site 

and datum.

Average discharge. 25 years, 11,170 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 45,500 cfs Apr. 25 (gage height, 17.41 ft); minimum daily, 5,960 cfs Sept. 29, 30.

* Discharge measurement made on this day.
DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 241

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 partial-record 

station. Data collected at these partial-record stations are usable In low-flow or floodflow analyses, depending on the type of data collected. In addition, discharge measurements 

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

generally made in times of drought or flood to give better areal coverage to those events. 

Those measurements and others collected for some special reason are called measurements at 

miscellaneous sites.

Records collected at partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The first is 

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

of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. Discharge measurements made 

at miscellaneous sites for both low flow and high flow are given in a third table.

Low-flow partial-record stations

Measurements of streamflow in the area covered by this report made at low-flow partialrecord stations are given in the following table. Most of these measurements were made 

during periods of base flow when streamflow is primarily from ground-water storage. These 

measurements, when correlated with the simultaneous discharge of a nearby stream where continuous records are available, will give a picture of the low-flow potentiality of stream. 

The column headed Period of record" shows the water year 

at the same, or practically the same, site.

250 DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES

Crest-stage partial-record stations

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

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

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

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

nearby 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.
