SCOPE OP WORK

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

and content, of streams, lakes, and reservoirs In the United States during the 1960 water 

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

relation to problems of Irrigation, similar records have been obtained at more than 15,500 

gaging stations in the 50 States. On September 30, 1960, the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations were maintaining 7,300 gaging stations. Partial-record stations for 

low flow or for flood flow have been operated at many other points. In addition, discharge 

measurements are made at miscellaneous sites. The records for the 1960 water year at 

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

slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins, Ogeechee River to Pearl River, are given in this 

report.

DIVISION OF WORK

The stream-gaging work was done by the Water Resources Division of the Geological 

Survey, under the direction of personnel shown in the preface. The data for stations in 

the several States were collected and prepared for publication in the district offices 

listed below.

Information of a more detailed nature than that published for most of the geging stations given in this report is on file in the district offices listed above. All gagingstation records for Georgia and some for Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi hfve been 

analyzed by electronic computer to give: (1) the number of days in each year that the 

daily discharge was between selected limits (duration tables); and (2) the lowest mean discharge for selected numbers of consecutive days in each year. In addition, the records for 

Georgia give the highest mean discharge for selected numbers of consecutive days in each 

year. Provisional records of discharge, information on the availability of electronic computer results, and other unpublished data concerning the gaging-station record? 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, ere defined 

as follows:

Gaging station is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir rhere 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 chanrel 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.
DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBERS 3

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

all the runoff for a given time 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. 

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 Papers" 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 f.'rst 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 includes the part number, 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 2B-3210.00, the station number shown in 

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

2B for all stations in this report and is therefore omitted.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1960, PART 2-B

EXPLANATION OP DATA

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

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 irdirect 

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

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

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

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

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

on Individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used in applying the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharge relation for a station is temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control, 

the daily mean discharge is computed by what Is essentially the shifting-contrcl 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 reiord and 

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

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

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

table. No mention Is made of occasional days of ice effect If the degree of accuracy of 

daily records is not changed.

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

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

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

on September 30. A calendar for the 1960 water year Is shown on page IV for tha purpose 

of finding the day of the week for any date.
EXPLANATION OF DATA 5

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 th*; 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 glvei 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 datums 

of previous gages used during the period of records available. The references to "datum 

of 1929" and adjustments of other years are to the datum and adjustments of the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey. 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 dally 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 gage, or a nonrecordlng 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 revis?d 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.
6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1960, PART 2-B

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

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

not published for stations on canals.

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

sudden or rapid fluctuation, the daily table gives the discharge corresponding to the 

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

height may not indicate the true dally 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 dally mean discharge is determined 

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

station description.

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

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

first day of its occurrence.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

usually less than 20 inches.

In the yearly summary below the monthly summary, the figures of maximum are the maximum 

daily discharges, not the momentary discharges when the water was at crest stag?. Likewise, the minlmums 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 dally and monthly discharge. All Independent 

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

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

the peaks are subject to substantial control by man.

Footnotes to the table of daily discharge indicate periods when discharge wa-5 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
ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS V

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 datp 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 giver 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 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.

SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, I960, PART 2-B

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 fcr further 

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

PUBLICATIONS

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

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

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

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

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

records for the 48 States were published in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for 

Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. The boundaries of the various parts are indicated by the following 

list and the map in figure 1.

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

been published as Water-Supply Paper 1304. 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 list on the following page gives the numbers and titles of these reports:

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

In the area covered by this report excessive streamflow was widespread during most of 

the year. Monthly mean discharge was record-high for the month at one or more key gaging 

stations In Florida In October, February, April, May, August, and September. Flow of 

Silver Springs In central Florida during August was the maximum for any month since records 

began In 1933; however, the flow during September was even greater.

Frequent flooding occurred during the year; In Alabama the floods were mostly limited to 

bankfull stages, but In Florida the floods In March and April caused maximum flows at several gaging stations having 10 to 30 years of record. Tropical storms In July and September caused major floods In Florida.

Parts of Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi experienced deficient flows during one or 

more months April to September.

Figure 2, on page 12, for which records of three long-term representative gaging stations were used, shows a comparison of the monthly and yearly mean discharges for the 1960 

water year with the median discharge for the period 1931-60.

ST. JOHNS RIVER BASIN 81 

2465. St. Johns River at Jacksonville, Fla.

Location. Lat 30°19'13", long 81°39'32", in NWij sec.24, T.2 S., R.26 E., near right bank 

on downstream side of Main Street Bridge at Jacksonville, Duval County, 2.4 miles upstream from Arlington River and 25 miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. 7,610 sq mi, approximately.

Records available. February 1954 to September 1960.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 10.00 ft below mean sea level, unadjusted. 

Upper auxiliary water-stage recorder at same datum, 7.9 miles upstream from base gage. 

Lower auxiliary water-stage recorder at same datum, 5.1 miles downstream froTi base gage.

Extremes. Maximum volume of flow downstream during year, 3,340 mcf (millions of cubic

feet) Mar. 20, 22; minimum downstream, 750 mcf May 2; maximum upstream volume, 3,000 mcf 

June 8; minimum upstream, 120 mcf Sept. 11. Maximum gage height during year, 13.81 ft 

Sept. 26; minimum, 8.62 ft Feb. 19.

1954-60: Maximum volume of flow downstream, 4,720 mcf Dec. 10, 1954; minimum downstream, 570 mcf Oct. 6, 7, 1958; maximum upstream volume, 3,480 mcf July 25, 1957; minimum upstream, that of Sept. 11, 1960. Maximum gage height, that of Sept. 26, 1960; 

minimum, 8.10 ft Dec. 30, 1956.

Remarks.--Records poor. Plow affected by tide; volumes are those occurring during each ebb 

and flood tide and are computed using net fall between auxiliary gages. Variations in 

ocean level Increase or decrease the flow by causing variable changes in basin storage. 

Volumes shown should not be used to compute daily, monthly, or yearly mean discharges. 

At the time of a volume measurement, one or more discharge measurements and/or a continual measurement of the velocity at one point in the stream are made; a point 

velocity-discharge relation is used to determine the continuous record of changing discharge . Using small increments of time, partial volumes are determined from the continuous record of changing discharge; the total volume for the flood or ebb tide is 

determined by a summation of the partial volumes.

in dam above station since June 1949. Some diversions at times during high water from 

Lake Istokpoga into Indian Prairie and Harney Pond canals when levees on southeast 

shore of lake are overtopped or washed out.

LAKE OKEECHOBEE AND THE EVERGLADES 115

2780. West Palm Beach Canal at HGS-5, at Canal Point, Fla.

Location. Lat 26°51'50", long 80°37'55" , In NE£ sec.33, T.41 S., R.37 E., on right bank 

In hurricane gate structure 5 at Lake Okeechobee, at Canal Point, Palm Beaih County, 

200 ft upstream from U.S. Highway 441.

Records available.--November 1939 to September 1960.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and deflection-meter recorder. Datum of gage Is at mean sea 

level, datum of 1929. Prior to Jan. 14, 1954, staff gage at site 550 ft downstream at 

same datum. Jan. 14, 1954, to Feb. 24, 1956, water-stage recorder at same site and 

datum. Since May 1940, auxiliary water-stage recorder below lock and dam, 700 ft 

downstream.

Extremes. Maximum dally discharge during year, 1,610 cfs Oct. 2; maximum gag"? height, 

17.69 ft Sept. 30; no flow for many days; minimum gage height, 11.94 ft Sept. 10.

1939-60: Maximum dally discharge, that of Oct. 2, 1959; maximum gage height observed, 18.54 ft Oct. 23, 1947, at former site; maximum dally reverse flow, 1,760 cfs 

June 15, 1942; minimum gage height observed, 8.48 ft June 15-17, 1942, at former site.

Remarks. Records good. Flow regulated at station by operation of hurricane gates. Flow 

occasionally reversed after periods of considerable rainfall because of downstream 

natural drainage and pumpage from agricultural lands In the Everglades. Discharge 

computed from continuous velocity record obtained from recording deflection meter in 

hurricane gate chamber.

Discharge, in cubic feet pe ond, water year October 1959 to September 1960

2784.5. West Palm Beach Canal above S-5A, near Loxahatchee, Fla.

Location.--Lat 26°41 I 05", long 80°22'15", In Slrf£ sec.32, T.43 S., R.40 E., near south 

bank, 500 ft upstream from pump station S-5A, 0.3 mile upstream from Levee 8 Canal, 

1.1 miles downstream from bridge on U. S. Highway 441 and confluence with Cross Canal, 

and 6 miles west of Loxahatchee, Palm Beach County.

Records available. October 1957 to September 1960.

Gage. Deflection-meter recorder. Auxiliary water-stage recorders at pump station S-5A, 

and control structure 5A-W, 0.3 mile downstream. Datum of gages is at mean sea level, 

datum of 1929.

Extremes. Maximum daily discharge during year, 3,640 cfs Sept. 26; maximum gage height, 

13.53 ft Feb. 6; maximum daily reverse flow, 45 ft Nov. 26; minimum gage height, 8.41 ft 

Oct. 23.

1957-60: Maximum daily discharge, 3,820 cfs June 19, 1959; maximum gage height, 

14.02 ft Oct. 3, 1957; maximum daily reverse flow, 277 cfs Apr. 10, 1959; minimum gage 

height, that of Oct. 23, 1959.

Remarks. Records good. Flow regulated primarily by pumpage at S-5A and to a lessor

extent by operation of control structure 5A-W. Flow occasionally reversed at S-5A-W by 

upstream pumping or by inversion of head because of prolonged pumping at S-5A. Major 

regulation above station occurs in Cross Canal, 1? miles upstream, and at Hurricane Gate 

Structure 5 at Lake Okeechobee, 20 miles upstream. Discharge computed from continuous 

velocity record obtained from recording deflection vane and from headgate-openingdischarge relations.

Cooperation. Gate opening and pump records furnished by Central and Southern Florida 

Flood Control District.

1939-60: Maximum daily discharge, 3,490 cfs Oct. 12, 1947; maximum gago height, 

12.58 ft Dec. 24, 1957; no flow on several days in 1939, 1940, 1958, and 1959; minimum 

gage height, 1.46 ft Sept. 27, 1955 (caused by temporary maintenance operation at dam).

Remarks. Records fair above 200 cfs and poor below. Flow regulated at station by Central 

and Southern Florida Flood Control District for irrigation and drainage ani by floodcontrol levee, 11 miles above station. Pumps above station divert water fsr irrigation 

during growing season. Since September 1952, flow materially affected by control 

structure 11 miles upstream. At times, discharge computed from continuous velocity 

record obtained from a recording deflection vane.

bank, 300 ft east of pump structure 9, half a mile west of U.S. Highway £7, and 13 miles 

west of Davie, Broward County.

Records available. October 1957 to September 1960.

Gage. Dual water-stage recorder and deflection-meter recorder. Datura of gege is at mean 

sea level datum, datura of 1929 (Corps of Engineers bench mark).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 2,310 cfs June 5; maximum gage height, 5.66 ft 

June 5; maximum reverse flow, 592 cfs Oct. 19; minimum gage height, -0.23 ft June 6.

1957-60: Maximum discharge, that of June 5, 1960; maximum gage height, that of 

June 5, 1960; maximum reverse flow, 654 cfs July 25, 1959; minimum gage teight, -0.29 ft 

May 9, 1958.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of doubtful deflection record, which are 

fair. Flow is to the west but is briefly reversed at times by seepage after periods of 

purapage. Flow regulated by pumpage at S-9 and by pumpage into the canal from agricultural lands to the east during and after periods of heavy rainfall. Discharge computed 

from continuous velocity record obtained from recording deflection vane.

* Daily mean.

t Maximum daily reverse flow.

t Present datum.

1939-43, 1957-60: Maximum daily discharge, 910 cfs Jan. 18, 1959; maximum gage 

height (Miami Canal), 15.14 ft Mar. 21, 1960; maximum daily reverse flow, 2,420 cfs 

June 21, 1959; minimum gage height (Miami Canal), 8.25 ft Sept. 22, 1960.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of doubtful or no deflection record, which 

are poor. Plow regulated by hurricane gates and pump station at Lake Okeechobee. Flow 

frequently reversed during and after periods of heavy rainfall by pumpage into the 

canal from agricultural lands in the Everglades, or by the operation of pvunp structure 

No. 3. Discharge computed using continuous velocity record obtained from recording deflection meters.

Cooperation. S-3 pump record and HGS-3 gate-operation record furnished by Central and 

Southern Florida Flood Control District.

LAKE OKEECHOBEE AND THE EVERGLADES 131

2890. Tamlaml Canal outlets, Miami to Monroe, Fla.

Location. Lat 25°45'40", long 80°49'40", in NEJj sec.21, T.54 S., R.35 E., at 40-mile bend 

on U. S. Highway 41, 38 miles west of Miami.

Records available. November 1939 to September 1960. Prior to October 1948, published as 

Tamiami Canal outlets west of Miami.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is at mean sea level, datum of 1923. Prior to 

July 28, 1942, staff gage at site 17 miles west of Miami and July 28, 1942, to Sept. 30, 

1945, at site 15 miles west of Miami at present datum. Oct. 1, 1945, to Au?. 30, 1949, 

staff gage at present site at datum 0.87 ft lower and Aug. 31, 1949, to Dec. 28, 1951, 

at present site and datum.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 8,300 cfs Sept. 10 (gage height, 9.65 ft); no 

flow May 22-26; minimum gage height, 7.32 ft May 26.

1939-60: Maximum daily discharge, 17,000 cfs Oct. 12, 1947, from rating curve extended above 9,800 cfs; maximum gage height, 10.3 ft (estimated) present datum, 

Oct. 12, 1947; maximum daily reverse flow, 2.0 cfs May 1-10, 1949; no flow for several 

days in some years; minimum gage height observed, 1.46 ft June 11, 1945.

Remarks. Records good except those for- periods of indefinite stage-discharge relation, 

which are poor. Figures of daily discharge consist of runoff from the Everglades as 

represented by flow through all outlets of Tamiami Canal from Monroe, 55 miles west of 

Miami, to point 18 miles west of Miami, where a levee aids in diverting flow southward 

through 60 outlets. Since July 1952, flow affected by extensive levee and control 

works to the north for agricultural and flood control purposes.

APALACHICOLA RIVER BASIN 227

3530. Flint River at Newton, Ga.

Location.--Lat 31°18', long 84°20', on downstream side of pier of bridge on State High-

 way 37 at Newton, Baker County, 1 mile downstream from Cooleewahee Creek end at 

mile 72.4.

Drainage area. 5,740 sq mi, approximately.

Records available.--April 1938 to September 1950 (monthly discharge only for some periods,

 published in WSF 1304), October 1956 to September 1960. Records of discharge collected 

at same site January 1949 to September 1956 by Corps of Engineers.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 110.20 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

~l'929, supplementary adjustment of 1936 (levels by Corps of Engineers). Prior to 

Nov. 12, 1956, wire-weight gage at same site and datum.

Average discharge. 16 years, 7,133 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 52,400 cfs Apr. 8 (gage height, 30.9 ft); min-

 imum daily, 2,030 cfs Oct. 9.

1938-50, 1956-60: Maximum discharge, 59,600 cfs Mar. 28, 1944 (gage height, 

31.7 ft); minimum, 790 cfs Oct. 20, Nov. 10, 1940.

Maximum stage known, 41.3 ft Jan. 21, 1925, from floodmarks.

Remarks. Records good. Flow regulated by powerplants at Flint River Reservoir since

 1921 (capacity, 7,500 acre-ft); and at Warwick Reservoir since 1930 (capacity, about 

35,000 acre-ft). Normal operation of powerplant does not materially affect figures 

of monthly runoff.

394 MOBILE RIVER BASIN

4700. Tombigbee River near Leroy, Ala.

Location. Lat 31°34', long 88°02', in sec.13, T.7 N. , R.I W. , at navigation dam at lock 1, 

4 miles upstream from Jackson Creek and 5 miles northwest of Leroy.

Drainage area. 19,100 sq mi, approximately. 

Records available. October 1928 to September 1960.

Gage. Staff gages above and below dam read twice and once daily, respectively. Datum of 

gage is 7.28 ft below mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers). 

Prior to Oct. 1, 1954, staff gage above dam only. Since Oct. 19, 1954, auxiliary waterstage recorder at bridge on U.S. Highway 43, 8.3 miles downstream.

Average discharge.--32 years, 26,230 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 110,000 cfs Mar. 17 (gage height, 39.2 ft from 

pool gage, 38.6 ft from tail-water gage); minimum daily, 800 cfs Aug. 10.

1928-60: Maximum discharge, 201,000 cfs Apr. 11, 1951; maximum gage height, 46.0 ft 

Apr. 2, 1929; minimum daily discharge, 500 cfs Sept. 2, 1929 (result of storage above 

dam from installation of flashboards).

Floods in May 1874 and April 1900 reached stages of 51.8 ft (discharge, 280,000 cfs), 

and 50.6 ft (discharge, 269,000 cfs), respectively, from information by Corps of Engineers. Peak discharge determined from rating curve extended above 200,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting.

Remarks.--Records good above and fair below 30,000 cfs, except those for indefinite stageoischarge relation, which are poor. Some regulation at low flow by loc'-rs and dams.

Cooperation. Gage-height record and 17 discharge meas"rements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers.

4830. Tuscolameta Creek at Walnut Grove, Miss.

Location. Lat 32°35', long 89°28', in NW£ sec.34, T.9 N., R.8 E., Choctaw meridian, on 

right bank at downstream side of bridge on State Highway 35, over north drainage canal, 

0.4 mile southwest of Walnut Grove, 0.6 mile upstream from Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad bridge, 1\ miles upstream from junction of north and south drainage canals, and 

15^ miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. 411 sq mi (combined drainage area for all channels).

Records available. October 1938 to September 1960. 

December 1938, published in WSP 1304.

Monthly discharge only for October to

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Prior to June 18, 1939, staff or wire-weight page and 

June 18, 1939, to July 13, 1953, water-stage recorder and wire-weight gafe, at site 

0.2 mile upstream at same datum. Water-stage recorder on south canal at bridge on 

State Highway 35, 1 mile south of north canal gage. Prior to Nov. 24, 1£43, staff gage 

and Nov. 24, 1943, to Oct. 21, 1959, water-stage recorder, on south canal at site 

1,800 ft downstream, all at same datum. Datum of gages is 332.70 ft above mean sea 

level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1941 (levels by Corps cf Engineers).

Average discharge.--22 years, 464 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 7,200 cfs Mar. 4 (gage height, 16.42 ft, north 

canal); maximum gage height, south canal, 17.94 ft Mar. 4; minimum discharge (combined 

flow), 9.1 cfs Aug. 1

1938-60: Maximum discharge, 34,600 cfs Jan. 7, 1950 (gage height, 23.00 ft, north 

canal); maximum gage height, south canal, 21.53 ft Jan. 7, 1950; minimum discharge 

(combined flow), 2.4 cfs Oct. 2, 1954.

Prior to canalization, creek reached a stage of 24.5 ft, from floodmark, sometime 

between 1920 and 1925.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record at north canal, 

which are fair. Discharge computed by combining the flow of individually rated lowwater channels except when discharge in north canal exceeds about 1,700 cfs or that in 

south canal exceeds about 650 cfs, during which periods discharge is determined from 

combined stage-discharge relation for all channels referred to gage on no^-th canal.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 429

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 tine, 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 lowflow 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 sp3cial reason 

are called measurements at miscellaneous sites.

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

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

table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. Discharge measurements made at miscellaneous sites for both low flow and high flow are given in a third 

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 vere 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 streem where 

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

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

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

442 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.

456 RECORDS AVAILABLE ON LAKES IN FLORIDA

For several years, records of the water-surface elevation of many of the lakes in 

Florida have been collected by the Geological Survey under cooperative agreements with the 

Corps of Engineers and various State, county, and municipal agencies. Except for Lake 

Okeechobee and Lake Talquin these records have not been published but are available in the 

files of the district office of the Geological Survey in Ocala, Fla. The records for 

certain key lakes are based on water-stage recorders or once-daily reading's of a staff 

gage by a local observer. The remainder of the records are based on twice-weekly to about 

once-monthly readings of a staff gage, depending on the amount of fluctuation in the lake 

elevation. The records are available in tabular form with yearly extremes indicated for 

each year of record.

The lakes for which records have been collected are listed in the following table. The 

maximum and minimum elevations shown in the table are in feet above mean sea level, except 

for a few lakes for which the datum of the gage has not been determined. Because of the 

effect of wind on lake stages, daily mean, rather than momentary, maximum and minimum elevations have been shown in the table. In certain of the lakes accurate ard reliable data 

for extremes prior to the period of record are available and are listed below.

Surface areas were planimetered from the latest topographic maps where available. In 

localities not covered by topographic maps, the areas were, in most cases, computed from 

soil maps. All areas shown are those for stages when the various maps were made.
