SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS, 1939

SCOPE OF WORK

This volume Is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measurements of stage 

and flow made on streams, lakes, and reservoirs In the United States during the water year 

ending September 30, 1939. The work was begun in 1888 In connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation. Measurements of flow of streams and measurements of stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 8,240 gaging stations In the United 

States and also at many gaging stations In Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1939, 4,160 gaging 

stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations. 

Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at many other points.

In the execution of the work many State and private organizations have cooperated, 

either by furnishing data or by assisting In collecting data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the first kind are made In connection with the description of each station 

affected; cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 9.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The units In which stream-flow data are presented in this report and other terms used 

herein are defined as follows:

"Second-feet" Is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A second-foot Is the rate 

of discharge of water flowing In a channel when the cross-sectional area Is 1 square foot 

and the average velocity Is 1 foot per second.

"Second-feet per square mile" Is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per 

second from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Run-off In Inches" is the depth to which an area would be covered If all the water 

flowing from It in a given period were uniformly distributed on Its surface. It Is used 

for comparing run-off with rainfall, which Is usually expressed In Inches.

An "acre-foot," equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, is the quantity of water required'to 

cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term Is commonly used In connection with storage 

for Irrigation.

"Second-foot day" Is the volume of water represented by a flow of l second-foot for 24 

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

represents a run-off of 0.0372 Inch from one square mile.

"Stage-discharge relation" Is an abbreviation for the term "relation of gage height to 

discharge."

"Control" is a term used to designate the natural section or reach of the channel or 

artificial structure below the gage that determines the stage-discharge relation at the 

gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage, measuremente of 

discharge, and general Information used to supplement the gage heights and discharge

measurements In determining the dally flow. The records of stage are obtained either from 

direct readings on a nonrecordlng gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current 

meter by the general methods outlined In standard textbooks on the measurement of river 

discharge. Gaging station structures are shown on plate 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge measurements. The application of the mean dally gage height to these rating tables gives the 

mean dally discharge, from which the monthly and yearly mean discharge are computed.

The data presented for each gaging station In the area covered by this report usually 

comprise a description of the station, a table showing the daily discharge of the stream, 

and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off. Skeleton rating tables are published except for those stations whose dally discharge for the greater part of the year was 

determined by the shifting-control method, the slope method, or other special methods.

The description of the station gives the type of gage, Its latitude and longitude determined from the best available maps, and information in regard to diversions that 

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation from pondage or storage, and the 

accuracy of the records. Under "Average discharge" Is given the average discharge for the 

number of years Indicated. It Is given only for stations for which there are 10 or more 

complete years of record. 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 (except when it Is of no importance). Unless otherwise qualified, the 

maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage, obtained by use of a water-stage recorder 

or a nonrecordlng gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the minimum represents the 

lowest discharge, unless otherwise qualified. The peak discharge for the year with the 

time of its occurrence Is given below the table of monthly discharge for some stations. 

Selected lower peaks are also given If the peak discharge exceeded the mean discharge for 

that day by more than 10 percent. This supplementary Information is generally not given 

for stations having drainage areas of less than 10 square miles or more than 10,000 square 

miles.

The table of daily discharge gives, for stations equipped with nonrecordlng gages, the 

discharge in second-feet corresponding to once-daily readings of the gage or the mean 

of twice-daily readings. For flashy floods the mean dally discharge Is determined from 

gage-height graphs based on gage readings made once or twice dally or oftener, as stated 

In the station description. For stations equipped with water-stage recorders, except 

those on streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation, the table gives the discharge 

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

mean dally gage height may not Indicate the true mean dally discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge for Intervals of the day or by using the discharge 

integrator, an instrument for obtaining the mean dally discharge from a continuous gageheight graph and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the station.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Second-foot-days" gives the sum 

for each month of the figures for that month given In the table of dally discharge. The 

column headed "Maximum" gives the maximum dally discharge and not the discharge when the 

water surface was at crest height. Likewise, In the column headed "Minimum" the quantity

EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

given is the minimum dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" gives the average flow in 

cubic feet per second during the month.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily on (1) the permanency of the stagedischarge relation and (2) the accuracy of observation of stage, measurements of flow, and 

Interpretation of records.

The station description gives a statement in regard to the general accuracy of the 

records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the dally records are accurate within 5 

percent; "good," within 10 per cent; "fair," within 15 percent; and "poor," within 20 or a 

higher percent.

Yield indicated by monthly means at some stations may vary widely from natural yield, 

owing to diversions, amount consumed, regulation by storage, Increase or decrease In 

evaporation due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of 

"second-feet per square mile" and "run-off In Inches" are not published unless reservoir 

records are Included indicating the extent of the regulation, or satisfactory adjustments 

can be made for changes in contents of reservoirs or for other changes Incident to use and 

control. Figures of second-feet per square mile and run-off in Inches are also omitted if 

the drainage area Includes large noncontrlbutlng areas or if the average annual rainfall 

over the drainage area is lees than 20 Inches.

Many gaging stations on streams in the Irrigated areas of the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, so that the discharge recorded does 

not show the water supply available for further development, as prior appropriations below 

the station must first be satisfied.

The table of monthly discharge gives a general Idea of the flow at the station. The 

table of daily discharge allows more detailed studies of the variation in flow. It should 

be borne in mind, however, that the observations In each succeeding year may be expected 

to throw new light on data previously published, ar.l that greater degrees of refinement In 

computations and records may be warranted with the Increase in data and the use of improved 

equipment.

The table on the following page gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of 

the papers on surface water supply published from 1899 to 1939. The data for any particular station will, in general, be found In the reports covering the yeara during which 

the station was maintained. For example, the data for 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by part 3 are published In Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 403, 433, 

453, 473, and 503, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports extend over a series of 

years. Miscellaneous measurements at many points other than regular gaging stations have 

been made each year and are published under "Miscellaneous discharge measurements" at the 

end of each report, the streams and points of measurement listed appearing in the same 

relative order as the streams and gaging stations In the body of the report. An index of 

the records obtained prior to 1904 has been published in Water-supply Paper 119.

12 JAMES RIVER BASIN

James River at Lick Run, Va.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°47', long. 79°47', at highway bridge at Lick 

Run, Botetourt County, three-quarters of a mile downstream from confluence of Cowpasture and Jackson Rivers. Zero of gage Is 978.30 feot above mean sea level.

Drainage area.- 1,369 square miles.

Records available.- April 1925 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 14 years, 1,573 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 27,700 second-feet Jan. 31 (gage height, 16.98 

feet}; minimum, 230 second-feet Sept. 28 (gage height, 1.58 feet).

1925-39: Maximum discharge, 51,600 second-feet Mar. 18, 1936 (gage height, 25.65 

feet), from rating curve extended above 20,000 second-feet on basis of velocity-area 

studies and comparison of peak discharge and total run-off of flood at this station 

with those at other stations In James River Basin; minimum, 153 second-feet Oct. 11, 

1930 (gage height, 1.51 feet).

Maximum stage known, 29.1 feet, from floodmarks, sometime In November 1877 (discharge, about 65,800 second-feet).

Highest stage during flood 'of-March 1913, 27.2 feet, from floodmarks (discharge, 

about 57,700 second-feet).

Remarks.- Records good except those for period of missing gage heights, May 6-16, which 

were computed on basis of records for stations on Cralg, Dunlap, and Potts Creeks 

and Jackson and Cowpasture Rivers and for James River at Buchanan and are fair.

JAffiS RIVER BASIN 19

Warm Spring at Warm Springs, Va.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 38°03'11", long. 79°46'52", just above V-shaped 

weir about 200 feet downstream from Warm Spring, at town of Warm Springs, Bath County.

Records .available.- June 1928 to September 1939.

Extremes.- Maximum daily discharge during.year, 2.44 second-feet May 13; minimum, 1.67 

second-feet Jan. 16.

1928-39: Maximum daily discharge, 5.45 second-feet Nov. 18, 1929 (flovt probably 

increased somewhat by local surface run-off); minimum, 1.35 second-feet Feb. 25. 26 

1931.

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods when flow was augmented by surface inflow, 

Jan. 30, 31, Feb. 3, 4, those for periods of missing gage heights, Oct. 1-12, Oct. 22 

to Nov. 7, Dec. 1-4, Jan. 21-29, and those for periods of faulty gage heights because 

of debris on weir, Apr. 9-23, June 14-17, 21, 22, all of which were estimated on basis 

of weather records and recorder graphs and are poor.

(gage height, 1.25 feet); minimum daily discharge, 472 second-feet Sept. 21, 1932.

Remarks.- Records good except those for days of missing gage heights, those computed from 

gage heights based on tailrace gage readings, and those above 30,000 second-feet, all 

of which are fair. Some diurnal fluctuation at low stages from operation of power plant 

upstream.

78 NEUSE RIVER BASIN

Flat River at dam,near Bahama, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°09'05", long. 78°50'55", just downstream from 

Durham municipal dam at old Tilley mill site, 3 miles southeast of Bahama, Durham 

County, and 4 miles upstream from confluence with Eno River.

Drainage area.- 171 square miles.

Records available.- August 1927 to September 1939.

Average discharge?- 12 years, 173 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 6,800 second-feet Aug. 18 (gage height, 14.27 

feet); minimum, 5.4 second-feet Nov. 13 (gage height, 1.08 feet); minimum daily discharge, 5.8 second-feet Nov. 11-13, 18.

1927-39: Maximum discharge, 18,600 second-feet July 26, 1938 (gage height, 19.50 

feet), by computation of flow over dam; no flow Sept. 3-14, 1938.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of missing gage heights, which are fair. 

Considerable regulation by Durham Reservoir (Lake Michie), Just above station, where 

a dally average of 9.6 second-feet was diverted during the year for Durham water 

supply, 56 percent of which was returned to Neuse River as sewage. Large diurnal 

fluctuation caused by operation of power plant at Durham municipal dam.

Cape Fear River at Fayetteville, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°02'50", long. 78°51'35", at highway bridge at 

Fayetteville, Cumberland County, just downstream from Cross Creek. Zero of gage Is 

20.23 feet above mean sea level (from levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army;-

Drainage area.- 4,370 square miles.

Records available.- January 1839 to May 1903, September 1928 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 24 years (1889-1902, 1928-39), 4,802 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during water year 1937-38, 44,200 second-feet July 27 (gage 

height, 42.0 feet); maximum gage height, 42.40 feet July 27; minimum dally discharge, 

630 second-feet May 12, 13, 22; minimum gage height, 9.25 feet May 13.

Maximum discharge during water year 1938-39, 45,600 second-feet Feb. 11 (gage 

height, 39.20 feet); maximum gage height, 40.23 feet Feb. 11; minimum daily discharge, 

515 second-feet Oct. 18; minimum gage height, 9.20 feet Oct. 18, Nov. 14.

1889-1903, 1928-39: Maximum discharge, 110,000 second-feet Oct. 4, 1929 (gage 

height, 63.43 feet); minimum, 73 second-feet Oct. 6, 1930: minimum dally discharge, 

110 second-feet Oct. 5, 1930.

Maximum discharge known, 133,000 second-feet (estimated) Aug. 29, 1908 (gage height, 

about 68.0 feet, from levels run to the flood crest as witnessed by local residents).

Remarks.- Records fair. Lock 3, about 20 miles downstream, creates about 10 feet of backwater at Fayetteville except during floods, when the lock drowns out. Effect of this 

backwater, combined with diurnal fluctuation caused by operation of Buckhorn power 

plant, above station, and of power plants on Rockfish Creek, which enters Cape Fear 

River between Fayetteville and lock 3, has made the development of a satisfactory discharge rating for medium and low stages impossible. Rate of change in stage enters 

into determination of discharge below gage height 20 feet during floods, and total fall 

between Fayetteville and lock 3 is a factor for stages above gage height 20 feet.

Correction.- The figure of minimum dally discharge for the calendar year 1934, as pub11shed in Water-Supply Paper 782 is in error. The correct figure is 375 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum gage height observed during water year 1937-38, 24.0 feet July 28 

( discharge not determined); minimum discharge observed, 580 second-feet May 23 (gage 

height, 0.8 foot).

Maximum gage height during water year 1938-39, 22.99 feet Mar. 3 (discharge not 

determined); minimum discharge observed, 490 second-feet Nov. 14 (gage height, 0.7 

foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those for flood periods, which are fair. Ordinary stagedischarge rating used below about 12,000 second-feet; submergence of the lock dam is 

a factor in determining discharge during medium-high stages; rating for stages above 

11 feet is not yet. determined. Considerable diurnal fluctuation at low staces caused 

by operation of power plants upstream.

7 miles north of Randleman, Randolph County. Zero of gage is 638.11 feet above mean 

sea level.

Drainage area.- 124 square miles.

Records available.- October 1928 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 11 years, 126 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 4,000 second-feet Aug. 18 (gage height, 16.96 

feet); minimum, 2.4 second-feet Oct. 23 (gage height, 1.58 feet); minimum daily discharge, 3.0 second-feet Oct. 23.

1928-39: Maximum discharge, 8,470 second-feet Feb. 28, 1929 (gage height, 23.9 

feet); minimum, 0.5 second-foot Nov. 28, 1931 (gage height, 1.41 feet); minimum daily 

discharge, 1.2 second-feet Nov. 12, 1933.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods when intake was partly obstructed, May 

19-31, June 6-15, which were computed on basis of faulty gage heights, precipitation 

records, and records for stations at Ramseur and Mbncure and are poor. Large diurnal 

fluctuations caused by operation of Coltrane Mill. Slight regulation caused by High 

Point Reservoir.

106 PEE DEE RIVER BASIN

Pee Dee River near Ansonville, II. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°05'25", long. 79 U 59'55", in bridge pier on State 

Highway 109, 1 mile downstream from Brown Creek and 6 miles east of Ansonville, Anson 

County.

Drainage area.- 6,330 square miles.

Records available.- February 1938 to September 1939.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 67,600 second-feet Har. 1 (gage height, 26.26 

feet); minimum daily discharge, 244 second-feet Oct. 23; minimum gage height, 4.88 

feet Oct. 23.

1938-39: Maximum discharge, that of Mar. 1, 1939; minimum daily discharge, 178 

second-feet Sept. 25, 1938; minimum gage height, that of Oct. 23, 1938.

Remarks.- Records good. Rate of change in stage is a factor in computing discharge. Large 

diurnal fluctuation caused by operation of power plant upstream. Considerable storage 

in several reservoirs on Pee Dee and Yadkin Rivers.

19, Sept. 2, 4-12 (computed on basis of partial recorder record and records for similar 

periods), which are fair, and those below 500 second-feet, which are poor. Discharge 

computed on basis of fall as determined from two water-stage recorders. Canal diverts 

water from Savannah River at dam 1 mile downstream from Stevens Creek Dam for power 

and municipal supply. Waste water from power houses returns to river by three channels 

above Thirteenth Street Bridge. Water Is pumped from canal for municipal supply of

not determined); minimum dally discharge, 60 second-feet Sept. 28, 1925.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for Oct. 1 to Nov. 9 (computed on basis of readIngs of wire-weight gage), those for Feb. 14-28 (computed from graph drawn on basis of 

partial recorder record and gage readings), and those for period of missing gage 

heights, July 20-27 (computed on basis of records for Oconee River at Mllledgevllle 

and Middle Oconee River near Athens), all of which are fair. Gage read twice dally 

prior to Nov. 9. Considerable diurnal fluctuation caused by operation of power plant

APALACHICOLA RIVER BASIN 245

Mosquito Creek at Chattahoochee, Fla.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 30°43', long. 84°4Q', in sec. 34, T. 3 N., R. 6 W., 

at Chattahoochee, 500 feet upstream from bridge on U. S. Highway 90, 600 feet downstream from pumping plant and dam, and about 2 miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.- 60 square miles.

Records available.- March 1936 to September 1939.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 492 second-feet June 1 (gage height, 6.82 feet); 

minimum daily discharge, 6.2 second-feet Oct. 16.

1936-39: Maximum discharge, 1,310 second-feet Sept. 1, 1937 (gage height, 11.54 

feet); minimum dally discharge, 0.4 second-foot Oct. 7, Nov. 8, 1936.

Remarks.- Records good above 40 second-feet and poor below. Marked diurnal regulation 

caused by operation of pumping plant 600 feet upstream. Amount of water diverted at 

dam for supply of Florida State Hospital has not been measured but is estimated to be 

between one and two million gallons a day. It is believed that the loss of water from 

reservoir by seepage underground accounts for low run-off from this drainage area.

half a mile upstream from Beaver Dam Creek and Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bridge. 

Mar. 25, 1938 to Mar. 21, 1939, wire-weight gage at same site and datum.

Drainage area.- 952 square miles.

Records available.- June to December 1906 (gage heights only, at site half a mile downstream; and nay 1935 to September 1939 In reports of U. S. Geological Survey. 

January 1931 to September 1939 In reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge observed during year, 16,400 second-feet Feb. 28 (gage 

height, 20.81 feet); minimum gage height observed, 2.73 feet Oct. 19.

1935-39: Maximum discharge, 35,000 second-feet Mar. 17, 1938 (gage height, 35.0 

feet); minimum gage height observed, 0.60 foot June 15, 1938.

Maximum stage known, 43.5 feet, present site and datum, March 1929, from reports 

of U. S. Weather Bureau (discharge not determined).

Remarks.- Discharge records good. Discharge below 1,680 second-feet (gage height 8.0 

feet) not determined because of variable stage-discharge relation resulting from operation of power plant at dam 4i miles downstream. Wire-weight gage read twice dally.

318 MOBILE RIVER BASIN

Black Warrior River at Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 33°12'4511 , long. 87°34'3511 , in NWi sec. 22, T. 21 

S., R." 10 W., in Tuscaloosa, 55 feet downstream from Mobile & Ohio Railroad bridge, 

and half a mile upstream from new Tuscaloosa lock and dam. Prior to Aug. 30, 1939, 

staff gage above spillway of navigation dam at lock 10, 0.7 mile upstream, at same 

datum. Auxiliary water-stage recorder 10i miles downstream, at same datum. Zero of 

each gage is 82.97 feet above mean sea level (Corps of Engineers, U. S. Array bench 

mark).

Drainage area.- 4,830 square miles.

Records available.- January 1889 to December 1905 (gage heights only), August 1928 to 

September 1939.

Average discharge.- 19 years (1894-1902, 1928-39), 7,962 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 121,000 second-feet Mar. 1; maximum gage height, 

t>9.7fc: feet Mar. 1, from graph based on gage readings; minimum discharge observed, 143 

second-feet Oct. 5.

1889-1905, 1928-39: Maximum discharge, 215,000 second-feet Apr. 18, 1900 (gage 

height, 67.7 feet); minimum, 50 second-feet (estimated) Aug. 26, 1929. 

Maximum stage known, that of Apr. 18, 1900.

Remarks.- Records good except for those for period Aug. 5-29 and those above 9,120 secondfeet during period Oct. 1 to Aug. 4, which are poor owing to effect of construction at 

new Tuscaloosa lock and dam. Navigation dam at lock 10 was control below 9,120 secondfeet during period Oct. 1 to Aug. 4 and navigation dam at new Tuscaloosa lock and dam 

was control during period Aug. 30 to Sept. 30. Gage read twice dally Oct. 1 to Aug. 

29.

canal, 17.48 feet Mar. 31; minimum dally discharge (combined flow), 6.7 second-feet 

Sept. 14; minimum gage height, north canal, 3.38 feet Sept. 13, 14; minimum gage height, 

south canal, 7.46 feet, Sept. 8-15.

Maximum stage known, north canal, 19.3 feet, from floodmark, Apr. 8, 1938, south 

canal, 20.2 feet, from floodmark, Apr. 8, 1938. Prior to canalization, creek reached 

a stage of 24.5 feet, from floodnark, sometime between 1920 and 1925.

Remarks.- Records fair. Discharge of creek Is sum of discharge for all channels except 

during periods when discharge in north canal exceeds 1,320 second-feet, or that In 

south canal exceeds 380 second-feet, for all or part of a day, during which periods 

discharge of creek was determined from a combined stage-discharge relation for all 

channels referred to the north canal gage. Discharge for periods of missing gage 

heights, Jan. 1-7, and for periods when water was below gage, Jan. 9, 10, 22-26, computed on basis of records for north canal and other nearby stations. Wire-weight and 

staff gages read twice dally.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1938 to September 1939

YEARLY-DISCHARGE SUMMARY 

Part 2. South Atlantic and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins

351

The following tables summarize In convenient form for general reference and for use In 

preliminary Investigations the figures of yearly discharge and run-off for certain gaging 

stations In the South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins, previously published In the annual series of water-supply papers. All gaging stations, both active and 

discontinued, at which 10 or more complete years of record have been collected and published are represented. Also, an Incomplete year Is Included If the maximum dally discharge for all years of record occurred In that year. The summaries present figures of 

maximum and minimum dally discharge and yearly mean discharge and run-off, for both the 

water years ending September 30 and the calendar years. The figures for the water years 

prior to 1914 and figures for the calendar years 1914 to 1933 have not been previously 

published In the annual water-supply papers but are Included In these summaries.

The number of the water-supply paper In which the figures of dally and monthly discharge 

as well as yearly discharge are published Is shown In the column headed W. s. P. (no. and 

page). The descriptions contained In the water-supply papers Indicated give detailed 

Information relative to the gaging stations, Including location, diversions, regulation by 

storage, and other pertinent Information. Records for stations which were operated prior 

to 1901 are generally contained In the annual reports of the Geological Survey. Reference 

Is made to these reports if records have not also been published In water-supply papers.

Records for most gaging stations contained In these summaries were collected by the 

Geological Survey In cooperation with States, municipalities, or other Federal agencies. 

Acknowledgment of such cooperation Is made In the Introduction to each of the annual 

surface water-supply papers. Records for some stations are furnished by other organizations in complete form for publication. Acknowledgment of these records Is made In the 

descriptive text that Is published with the records.

Figures of drainage area are given for each station when known. These figures have been 

revised from time to time as more accurate maps have become available. The discharge per 

square mile and run-off In Inches in the following tables, In general, have been revised 

according to the latest figure for the drainage area.

For summaries after 1914 if the period extends beyond September 30, records of daily 

and monthly discharge after that day are contained in the water-supply paper Indicated 

for the following year.

Former names under which records for some of the stations have been published In the 

annual water-supply papers are indicated In these yearly summaries as follows:

1. If the name of the stream or town or other feature to which the station Is referred 

has been changed, the former name Is given in parentheses, indicating that records for 

some of the earlier years are published under the obsolete name.

2. If the entire name of a station has been changed, the superseded name and years 

when It was used are given in parentheses beneath the present name.
