DRAINAGE MAP OF GEORGIA, SHOWING RIVER SURVEYS AND STREAM-GAGING STATIONS.
WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

Bv B. M. HALL and M. 'R. HALL.

It is the purpose of this publication to present in a single volume 

the large amount of data relating to the flow and power of Georgia 

streams resulting from the work of the water resources branch of the 

United States Geological Survey, which was begun in the year 1895. 

These data consist essentially of gage heights and discharge measurements that can be used to show the continuous daily flow of the 

streams, and of certain river profiles, in the form of tabulated elevations of water surface at points along the river, that can be used to 

estimate the available fall at any place. The amount of water 

flowing in the stream and the fall which can be used will determine 

the amount of power which can be developed. A quick formula to 

use is as follows: J^^i sec.ft. Xfall inxeet =net horsepower on

water wheel, realizing SO per cent of the theoretical power. 

TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY. 

GENERAL FEATURES.

A systematic study of the water powers of the State requires a 

knowledge of the drainage systems, which are somewhat intricate.

The topography of the State is peculiar. Chattahoochee Ridge, 

which runs from the northeast corner of the State in a southwesterly 

and southerly direction through Gainesville, Atlanta, Griffin, Fort 

Valley, Fitzgerald, and through the Okefenoke Swamp to the Florida 

line, divides the waters of the Atlantic Ocean from the waters of the 

Gulf of Mexico and forms the backbone of the State. The great 

drainage basins on the Atlantic slope are the Savannah, the Ogeechee, 

the Altamaha, the Satilla, and the St. Marys. Those draining into 

the Gulf are the Suwanee basin, including Suwanee River and tributaries; the Ochlockonee basin, emptying into Ochlockonee Bay; 

the Apalachicola basin, including Chattahoochee and Flint rivers, 

emptying at Apalachicola, Fla.; the Mobile basin, or Coosa River

system, draining to Mobile, Ala.: and the Tennessee basin, including 

Hiwassee, Nottely, and Toccoa (Okoee) rivers, which flow through 

Tennessee and Mississippi rivers, emptying into the Gulf at New 

Orleans. The last basin is cut on' from all the others by the Blue 

Ridge Mountains, which run across the northern end of the State. 

Some idea of the diversity of drainage may be had from the statement 

that there are three springs in northeast Georgia within a stone's 

throw of each other that send out their waters to Savannah, Ga., to 

Apalachicola, Fla., and to New Orleans, La.

The streams of the Savannah, Altamaha, Apalachicola, Mobile, 

and Tennessee basins begin in, and have a large part of their territory lying in, the crystalline or granitic region, which is all that part 

of the State lying north of the southern fall line, and east of the western fall line. The streams of these drainage basins rise at elevations 

from 900 to 2,000 feet above sea level and flow along the high Piedmont Plateau in a succession of cascades until they come to the fall 

line, \vhere they take their last leap from the granitic bed rock to the 

navigable waters of the younger geologic formations.

The southern fall line passes through Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon, 

and Columbus, and marks the ancient Atlantic coast line and the 

present- division between the crystalline and Cretaceous geologic formations. Along this line, which is practically parallel to the Blue 

Ridge Mountains, the Cretaceous lies unconformably upon gneiss, the 

surface of which slopes toward the sea at a steep angle, and gives 

unmistakable evidence of having formed at one time a barren rocky 

seacoast similar to that of Massachusetts.

The western fall line passes through Carters on Coosawattee River 

and Cartersville on Etowah River and marks the ancient coast line of 

the Gulf of Mexico or Paleozoic Sea and the present division between 

the crystalline and Paleozoic geologic formations. The conditions 

along this fall line have no similarity to those along the southern 

fall line. The formations, both crystalline and Paleozoic, have 

been wrinkled, folded, and faulted by lateral pressure to such an 

extent that no contact slope exists between the two formations along 

which percolation could take place. Etowah River below Cartersville shows a hard blue limestone bed rock, out of which many bold 

springs flow into the river, and while the best shoal on the river is at 

Cartersville in the crystalline bed rock just above the fall line, the 

river is a series of shoals all the way down to Rome, where it unites 

with the navigable Oostaiiaula to form Coosa River.

The western fall line crosses the Coosawattee in Murray County 

at Carters, which is the head of navigation. The country along the 

Coosawattee below Carters is mainly a pervious shale that drinks up 

most of the smaller streams in driest weather. Although very large 

limestone springs having a good flow at all seasons abound, yet
TOPOGEAPHY AND GEOLOGY. 9

during long dry spells the streams from most of them become smaller 

and smaller as the distance from the fountain head increases, and 

finally soak into the ground and disappear.

From the foregoing discussion it will be seen that the largest and 

most important water powers of the State are in the crystalline area 

north of the southern fall line and east of the western fall line. It 

will be convenient, therefore, in this discussion to divide the State 

hydrographically into three areas: (1 s) The crystalline area in middle 

and northeastern Georgia as above denned; (2) the Paleozoic area 

in northwest Georgia, and (3) the coastal plain lying south of the 

southern fall line and embracing more than hall the State.

THE CRYSTALLINE AREA.

The crystalline area embraces the Blue Ridge Mountain region, 

with elevations from 1,000 to 4,800 feet above sea level, and the Piedmont Plateau, with elevations from 600 to 1,600 feet above sea level. 

The rivers of the Piedmont Plateau in this region rise at very high 

altitudes and flow over granite, gneiss, etc., with precipitous falls 

in successions of shoals and eddies, between high hills, affording 

excellent sites for dams and canals, and are peculiarly adapted to 

the development of high-head water powers, with a good and constant water supply. The following table shows the fall on the main 

rivers that cross the fall lines in the State:

The above table gives an idea of the fall to the mile on the main 

rivers of the lower part of the Piedmont Plateau. The upper sections of these streams and of their tributaries are even more precipitous. Some shoals on tributaries are as follows:

Broad River, 63 feet in 2 miles.

Tallulah River, 525 feet in 2| miles.

Towaliga River, 96 feet in 1,200 feet.

Neither the rivers nor their tributaries have any regularity in fall; 

it is concentrated in shoals over hard ledges of granite or gneiss, with 

long stretches of gentle flow between. These streams will be considered in detail in,the body of this report, and each shoal of importance 

will be mentioned.
10 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 

THE PALEOZOIC AREA.

The Paleozoic area lies from 400 to 1,000 feet above sea level. The 

only river in it with much fall is the Etowah, which at Cartersville 

crosses the fall line from crystalline bed rock to limestone. Between 

this point and Rome the shoals are caused by harder limestone ledges, 

the total fall being 109 feet in 46 miles. The tributaries of this river, 

together with those of the Conasauga, Oostanaula, Coosa, and Tennessee, furnish a large number of small water powers that are valuable 

for local enterprises, as they are mainly in rich agricultural districts. 

The entire area abounds also in large springs that can be relied on to 

furnish a pure and unfailing water supply for municipal and industrial 

purposes.

THE COASTAL PLAIN.

The elevation of the Coastal Plain varies from tide water up to 500 

feet above sea level. The large rivers from the crystalline belt cross 

the southern fall line into this area at the following elevations above 

sea level:

Four of these rivers are rated as navigable streams below the points 

mentioned. The Savannah and Chattahoochee have regular steamboat lines to these points, but the Oconee and Ocmulgee will require 

considerable Government work before they can be navigated to Milledgeville and Macon, respectively. Flint River is shoaly all the way 

to Albany. It is the only one of these rivers that can be counted on 

for any water power in this area, but on smaller streams there are 

hundreds of good powers well distributed, many of which are already 

developed for local uses.

This part of Georgia is developing more rapidly as an agricultural 

and fruit-raising region than is any other part of the State. Its pine 

forests are still a great source of wealth, but land that has yielded its 

full crop of turpentine and timber is proving more valuable for cotton, 

corn, watermelons, cantaloupes, pecans, pears, peaches, garden vegetables, and Georgia cane sirup. The climate is mild and healthful, 

the streams are bold and constant, and the supply of artesian water 

is abundant and of the best quality.
INTRODUCTION. 11

USES OF WATER. 

IRRIGATION.

In the arid region of the Western States, where the rainfall is not 

sufficient or is not properly distributed through the year for making 

crops, the most important use of water is for irrigation. In Georgia 

and other Southern and Eastern States the rainfall is much greater 

mid more evenly distributed through the year, but, nevertheless, the 

lack of rain at the proper time often cuts a crop to one-half or onethird what it would have been with one additional wetting at the 

time most needed. Thus a small amount of water in storage and 

ready for use will do more good in the East, where it has the help of 

frequent rains through a large part of the crop season, than will a 

much greater amount of water in the arid West, where artificial irrigation must be depended on exclusively.

Market gardening is one of the most attractive and most profitable 

agricultural pursuits in the South, but irrigation is almost a necessity 

for making the business a safe one. In any event, it can be relied on 

to double the yield of one crop and to enable the gardener to make 

from two to three crops on the same land in the same year. In Georgia the gardening season is ordinarily from February to July, but 

with irrigation it can be extended to November and even later. In 

Florida the gardening season is in winter, from November to April. 

This is the dry season, but the planters irrigate from flowing artesian 

wells and ship celery, lettuce, and other vegetables all winter. This 

system is being rapidly introduced in southern Georgia.

Artesian wells are the ideal source of water for individual irrigation 

plants where they can be had at small expense and where the supply 

is sufficient.

Gravity systems by means of storage dams and canals are more 

extensive in their application and are practicable on the lowlands of 

river and creek valleys having adjacent hill country from which tributaries flow at a higher elevation. These tributaries can be impounded 

by large storage dams, and small canals ca'ii be cut along the hillsides 

near the foot of the hills to furnish water for irrigating the lowlands. 

A small stream, properly stored, can be made to irrigate a large area 

in this way, as one good wetting at the proper time is all that a crop is 

likely to need.

Hydraulic rams, which are now manufactured of large capacity, 

can be relied on for pumping water to any desired elevation for irrigating high lands. Some plants of this kind are now in use in Georgia and are giving good results. The water is pumped up by the ram 

into a large reservoir excavated on a clay hill or made by a dam in a 

high ravine. The water thus accumulated for months is held until 

needed and is run through open ditches onto the fields below the
12 WATER RESOURCES OP GEOEGIA.

reservoir level. A small stream having a flow of 80 gallons a minute 

and a fall of 20 feet will operate a ram that will pump 15,000 gallons a 

day to a height of 100 feet above the ram. This amount of water, 

stored as suggested, will furnish all necessary irrigation to 10 or 12 

acres in this State.

A ram of this size takes its water through a 4-iiich drive pipe. 

Rams are made in all sizes, from a 1-inch ram using 3 gallons a 

minute to a duplex 12-inch ram using two 12-inch drive pipes and a 

water supply of 1,500 gallons a minute. One of the latter placed on 

a stream having a flow of 1,500 gallons a minute, which is a very 

small creek, will utilize a shoal of 20 feet and pump 288,000 gallons a 

day to a height of 100 feet above the ram. Such creeks are found in 

all parts of the crystalline region and are plentiful in the hilly parts 

of the Paleozoic area and of the Coastal Plain. Any amount of fall 

from 4 feet up to 40 feet can be utilized, the amount of water pumped 

being directly as the drive head and inversely as the lift. These 

improved rams open up great possibilities for cheap water supply. 

Their first cost is very moderate, and they pump by water power, 

requiring no attendant.

Near the coast, where the streams have very little fall, the agricultural lands are on a low level, from 5 to 15 feet above the streams, 

and the supply of pine wood for fuel is abundant. Under these conditions centrifugal steam pumps can be run very economically to 

give abundant water for irrigation.

USE OF WATER FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSES AND MUNICIPAL SUPPLY.

Pure drinking water is abundant in all parts of the State. In 

north and middle Georgia it is obtained from wells, springs, and pure 

streams. Farther south the best supply is from artesian wells. 

Most of the large cities of north and middle Georgia get their supply 

from rivers. Atlanta uses filtered water from the Chattahoochee; 

Augusta from the Savannah; Macoii from the Ocmulgee, and other 

cities of the region from rivers or local creeks. Savannah, Albany ? 

Americus, Thomasville, Dublin, and other south Georgia municipalities get their supply from artesian wells: In country and 

suburban communities hydraulic rams are largely used for daily 

farms and other domestic supplies. There are also many gravity 

systems in the mountains and artesian wells in the coastal plain.

USE OF WATER FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES.

The supply of water for mining, quarrying, manufacturing, steam 

making, etc., is very important.

Gold mining is a great industry in the State, and water is largely 

used for hydraulic work in placers and also in saprolite belts. In
USES OF WATER. 13

the latter class of mining, the water excavates and transports the 

material in long flumes, automatically depositing the loose gold in 

the sluice riffles, separating the slate, clay, and slimes from the quartz, 

and landing the concentrated ore in the mill, where it is crushed by 

stamps. The free gold is amalgamated on copper plates, and the 

auriferous iron sulphides are saved on a concentrator and reduced 

by chloriiiation and precipitation of the gold. All of these processes 

require large quantities of water. In the Dahlonega region water for 

hydraulic mining is brought long distances in open canals along the 

hillsides and hilltops. Some of these canals are 40 miles and more 

in length and have cost many thousands of dollars. One of the 

most famous is the Yahoola ditch from the upper waters of Yahoola 

Creek. It is 20 miles long from its head to the town of Dahlonega 

and has supplied mines through branch ditches 10 and 15 miles in 

length. It carries from 500 to 1,000 miner's inches of water, and 

water has been sold from it for many }Tears at 12 cents per miner's 

inch per day. A miner's inch, Colorado standard, is 111 gallons, or 

1 ?, cubic feet per minute, or one-fortieth of a cubic foot per second.

In a large part of the extensive gold regions of the State the mining 

is underground work in which water is not used for excavation, but 

a large amount of battery water is used in the mills, and an additional 

supply is needed for the concentrators.

Water is also used extensively in the washing and concentrating 

processes of iron, manganese, ocher, barytes, pyrites, corundum, 

asbestos, bauxite, and other minerals.

Quarrying industries require a good water supply, both for making 

steam and for operating rock drills. The marble quarries near Tate, 

Marble Hill, and Ball Ground, in Pickens County; the granite quarries 

at Stone Mountain, Lithoiiia, Conyers, Lexingtoii, Elberton, and 

other points; the National Cement Quarries at Cement, Ga., near 

Kingston; the slate and limestone quarries of the Southern States 

Portland Cement Company at Rockmart; and other quarries throughout the State are operated on a large scale.

Immediately allied with the quarrying industry are the great marble manufacturing mills at Tate, Marble Hill, Nelson, Ball Ground, 

Canton, and Marietta for sawing and finishing marble. The sawing 

and rubbing is done with sand and water, requiring a good water 

supply. Aside from the water required for power, there are many 

manufacturing industries, such as paper making and bleacheries, 

that can not be operated without pure water and a great deal of it.

There are many large springs in the Paleozoic, region of northwest 

Georgia and also in the Coastal Plain of south Georgia that are clear 

and sparkling and excellent for drinking purposes, but that contain 

carbonates of lime and magnesia in solution, either of which is 

objectionable in a water to be used in chemical processes such as
14 WATEB EEtfOUECES OF GEORGIA.

bleaching; if present in large quantities they even render the water 

unfit for steam boilers, as they deposit incrustations of lime and 

magnesia on the inside of the boiler. The springs of the crystalline 

region of middle and northeast Georgia are generally pure, containing no carbonates and a very insignificant amount of the other mineral ingredients, but in the greater part of this area the springs are 

small, rarely having a How of more than 10 or 15 gallons a minute. 

The exception to this rule is a belt of country within the crystalline 

region, running nearly east and west along the pine mountain range 

in Pike, TJpson, Meriwether, Talbot, and Harris Counties, in which 

there are large springs of pure freestone water, suitable both in 

quantity and quality for bleacheries, fish hatcheries, etc. One of 

the largest of these is the Cold Spring, in Meriwether County, at 

Bullochville, about 1 mile below Warm Springs, Ga., on the Georgia 

Midland division of the Southern Railway. It has a now of 2,025 

gallons per minute, »nd is utilized as a fish hatchery by the United 

States Fish Commission. It issues from a ledge of vitrified sandstone, which is continuous through the entire region, and forms the 

backbone of the pine mountain range, which is geologically the 

coast range of Georgia. Warm Spring, about 1 mile distant, has a 

flow of 1,SOO gallons a minute, but is evidently of a much deeper 

o i/in, as its temperature is S7° Fahrenheit. There are many other 

springs of the same character as Cold Spring along the pine mountain belt, one of the most prominent of which is Big Blue Spring, in 

Harris County, which has been proposed as a water supply for the 

city of Columbus. ""

In other parts of the State probably one of the best sources of 

pure, clear water for chemical use is found in the gravel beds underlying the river bottom land. These gravel beds lie immediately on 

the* bed rock and can generally be relied on to furnish a good supply 

of water that has been clarified by a natural filter.

WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS." 

KXT OF FLOW.

Ill order to obtain a knowledge of the water supply, or amount 

of water flowing in the streams at all seasons, certain convenient stations have been established on important rivers and tributaries.

A gage for observing the stage of the river is established at a bridge 

or other place where the record of now is to be made. This ^age is a ^ o o

vertical staff, or some other device by which the height of water may 

be observed, and is read each day by a person living near by. The

"The methods by which thr records of strenm discharge have been made by thr United States 

Geological Survey are described in detail in Water-Sup, and Irr. Papers Nos. 94 and 95.
WATER STPPLY OF STREAMS. 15

average of the gage readings, if more than one, in any day is used as 

the mean gage height for that day.

At various stages of the river one of the hydrographers of the 

Survey visits the station and measures with a current meter the 

amount of water flowing. This meter is primarily an instrument for 

measuring the velocity of moving water, and consists essentially of 

a wheel with vanes, which may be shaped like those of a windmill 

or of a screw, or with cups like those of an anemometer, the necessary qualification being that moving water shall readily cause the 

wheel of the meter to turn. Each meter is rated before use. The 

rating is done by moving the meter through still water at various 

observed speeds to determine the relation between the velocity with 

which the meter moves through the water ami the revolutions of the 

wheel. This relation having been determined, the meter is used in 

running water, the revolutions per unit of time noted, and the velocity 

of the wrater computed.

Observations of depth of water are also made, and from them the 

area in cross section of each portion of the stream is computed; each 

partial area multiplied by the mean velocity of that area gives a 

partial discharge; the sum of the partial discharges is the total discharge of the stream.

Measurements of flow as outlined above are made "covering a considerable range of gage height. They are then plotted on coordinate 

paper, with gage heights for ordinates and discharges for abscissas, 

and a smooth curve, called the rating curve, is drawn through the 

points. From this curve a rating table is made which shows the discharge of the stream for any gage height.

The data necessary for the construction of a rating table for a 

gaging station as just stated are (1) the results of the discharge measurements, which include the record of stage of the river at the time 

of measurement, the area of the cross section, the mean velocity of 

the current and the quantity of water flowing, and (2) a thorough 

knowledge of the conditions at and in the vicinity of the station.

The construction of the rating table depends on the following laws 

of flow for open permanent channels: (1) The discharge will remain 

constant so long as the conditions at and near the gaging station 

remain constant; (2) neglecting the change of slope due to the rise 

and fall of the stream, the discharge will be the same whenever the 

stream is at a given stage; (3) the discharge is a function of, and 

increases gradually with, the stage.

The plotting of results of the various discharge measurements, 

using gage heights as ordinates, and discharge, mean velocity, and 

area as abscissas, will define curves which show the discharge, mean 

velocit}", and area corresponding to any gage height. For the development of these curves there should be, therefore, a sufficient number

of discharge measurements to cover the range of the stage of the 

stream. 0

As the discharge is the product of two factors, the area and the 

mean velocity, any change in either factor alone will produce a corresponding change in the discharge. Their curves are therefore constructed in order to study each independently of the other.

The area curve can he definitely determined from accurate soundings extending to the limits of high water. It is always concave 

toward the horizontal axis or on a straight line, unless the banks of 

the stream are overhanging.

The form of the mean-velocity curve depends on the surface slope, 

the roughness of the bed, and the cross section of the stream. Of 

these the slope is the principal factor.

This curve maybe a straight line, or a curve either convex or concave, or may be a combination of these three forms, owing to the relative degree to which an}T of the factors are present or to the change 

which they undergo during the change of gage height. A careful 

study of the conditions at a gaging station makes it possible to predict the form of this curve and to extend it beyond the limits of the 

actual measurements.

The discharge curve is defined primarily by the measured discharges, and when these do not cover the entire range of gage height 

for which it is desired to make a rating table, the curve is sometimes 

extended by the use of the area and mean-velocity curves, which 

have themselves been extended, as above shown. This curve, under 

normal conditions, is concave toward the horizontal axis and is generally parabolic in form.

In preparing the rating table the discharge for each tenth on the 

gage is taken from the'curve, and the differences between successive 

discharges are then adjusted according to the law that they shall be 

either increasing or constant. The finished rating table shows the 

discharge in cubic feet per second, corresponding to each tenth of a 

foot on the gage, and is used to supply the discharge values to the 

daily gage heights furnished by the observer in making up the daily 

or monthly estimate of flow.

DEFINITIONS.

The volume of water flowing in a stream, the "run-off," is expressed 

in various terms, each of which is associated with a certain class of 

work. These terms may be divided into two classes: Those which 

represent a rate of flow, as second-foot, gallons per minute, and runoff in second-feet per square mile, and those which represent actual 

quantities of water, as run-off in depth in inches. They may be denned 

as follows:

" A typical rating c;irv.\ wi h corresponding area and mean-velocity curves, is given in Water-Sup, 

and Irr. Paper No. lt>8, 190(1, p. 17.
WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS. 17

"Second-foot" is an abbreviation for cubic foot per second an<] is 

the quantity of water flowing in a stream 1 foot wide, 1 foot deep, 

at the rate of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental unit from which the others are computed.

"Gallons per minute'' is generally used in connection with pumping and city water supply.

"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 the drainage area would 

be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were conserved and uniformly distributed over the surface. It is used for 

comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth 

in inches.

EXPLANATION OF TABLES.

For each regular station are given, as far as available, the following 

data:

1. Description of station.

2. List of discharge measurements.

3. Gage-height tables.

4. Rating tables.

5. Tables of estimated monthly and yearly discharges and run-off, 

based upon all the facts available to date.

The descriptions of stations give such general information about the 

locality and equipment as would enable the reader to find and use 

the station. . They also give, as far as possible, a complete history of 

all the changes that have occurred since the establishment of the station that would affect the use of the data collected.

The discharge-measurement table gives the results of the discharge 

measurements made during each year, and includes the date, the 

gage height, and the discharge in second-feet.

The table of daily gage heights gives for each day the mean height 

of the surface of the river, as found from the mean of the gage readings taken on that day.

The rating table gives discharges in second-feet corresponding to 

each stage of the river, as given by the gage heights.

In the table of estimated run-off the column headed "Maximum" 

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

highest, and it is the flow as given in the rating table for that mean 

gage height. As the gage height is the mean for the day, there 

might have been short periods when the water was higher and the 

corresponding discharge larger than given in this column. Likewise,

3696 IRR 197 07 2
18 WATER RESOURCES OE GEORGIA.

in the column of "Minimum," the quantity given is the mean flow 

for the day when the mean gage height was lowest. The column 

headed "Mean" gives the average flow for each second during the 

month. Upon this mean the computations for the remaining columns are based.

SAVANNAH RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN.

Savannah River is formed by the junction of Tugaloo and Seneca 

rivers, which unite about rOO miles above Augusta, Ga. It flows in a 

southeasterly direction, forming the boundary between Georgia and 

South Carolina, and empties into the Atlantic Ocean near Savannah, 

Ga. It is navigable up to Augusta, which is at the fall line.

Seneca River is formed by the junction of Little and Keowee rivers, 

about 5 miles northeast of Seneca, S. C. Both of these tributaries 

rise in the Blue Ridge in North Carolina and the northwestern part 

of South Carolina.

Tugaloo River is formed by the junction of Chattooga and Tallulah 

rivers, which join at the western corner of Oconee County, S. C. It 

flows in a southeasterly direction and is a part of the boundary 

between Georgia and South Carolina. Chattooga River rises in Jackson County, X. C., and flows in a southwesterly direction along the 

boundary between Georgia and South Carolina. Tallulah River rises 

in Macon County, N. C., and in the northwestern part of Rabun 

County, Ga., and flows in a southeasterly direction. Parts of its 

course are cut through the solid rock for hundreds of feet, forming 

canyons and steep bluffs. Throughout its entire length the fall is 

very great, and at Tallulah Falls the stream drops more than 500 feet 

in a short distance.

Broad River joins the Savannah at the southeast corner of Elbert 

County, Ga. It rises in Habersham and Banks counties and flows in 

a southeasterly direction to the southeast corner of Madison County, 

Ga., where the South Fork joins it. From there it flows east to Savannah River. Its drainage is from a rolling country, and there is a considerable amount of fall at various points. At Anthony Shoals the 

fall is more than 50 feet in a short distance. Above Augusta, Ga., 

there is much fall, which can be developed for "water power. Except 

at the large plant at Augusta, very little of this is being used.

STREAM FLOW. 

TALLULAH EIVEE AT TALLULAH FALLS.

This station was originally established August 29, 1900, by M. R. 

Hall, and records of gage heights were obtained until October 19, 

1900. The record was resumed January 18, 1901, and maintained 

until December 31, 1901. The station was reestablished July 10, 

1904, when bench marks were determined and regular gage readings 

begun. The station is located at the wagon bridge about one-fourth 

mile above the falls and about the same distance from the village of 

Tallulah Falls, Ga.
20 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

The channel is nearly straight for 300 feet above and 200 feet below 

the station. The current is swift. Both banks are high, wooded, 

rocky bluffs and are not subject to overflow. The bed of the stream 

is composed of rock and is rough and permanent. There is but one 

channel at all stages.

Discharge measurements are made from the iron wagon bridge, 

which has a single span of 100 feet and rests on timber piers. The 

initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge on the upstream 

side at the left bank.

The original gage is a vertical rod spiked to a small maple tree on 

the left bank of the river about 50 feet above the bridge. June 21, 

1905, a 5-foot rod gage was fastened vertically to the solid rock on 

the right bank 25 feet above the bridge. The datum is the same as 

that of the original gage. The gage is read once each day by J. T. McKay. The bench mark consists of a copper plug set in the solid rock 

on the right bank, 27 feet upstream from the upper edge of the 

bridge; elevation, 7.05 feet above gage datum.

TUGALOO RIVER NEAR MADISON, S. C.

This station was originally established July 19, 1898, at Cooks Ferry 

and was discontinued December 31, 1901, when the ferry was moved. 

It was reestablished July 7, 1903, by M. R. Hall, at Holcombs Ferry, 

1 mile west of Madison, S. C., and 900 feet below the Southern Railway bridge. This station is about 1^ miles above the point where the 

old station was located.

The bed of the river is sandy and the current is moderately swift. 

The channel is about 160 feet wide and is fairly uniform in width and 

general appearance for some distance, being straight for 1,000 feet or 

more both above and below the station. The banks are both moderately high, but will overflow for about 200 feet on the right bank and 

250 feet on the left. Both are open and cultivated except for a few 

trees along the edge of the river. These conditions make it possible 

to obtain fairly good float measurements at the time of floods.
24 WATEK RESOURCES OP GEORGIA.

Discharge measurements are made from the ferryboat, or a small 

boat which is held in place by a cable stretched across the river. The 

initial point for soundings is the land side of the windlass used for 

stretching the cable; it is located on the right bank. Distances are 

measured along the hand line which is used to pull the boat across the 

river.

The gage consists of a vertical timber in three sections. The first 

section reads from 1 to 16 feet and is attached to a sycamore tree on 

the left bank, about 30 feet above the ferry landing; the second section reads from 16 to 22 feet and is attached to a sycamore tree on the 

left bank, about 18 feet above the ferry landing; the third section 

reads from 21 to 31 feet and is fastened to a locust tree on the left 

bank at the forks of the road, about 175 feet from the ferry landing. 

The gage is read once each day by T. A. Spencer. The bench mark 

is a U. S. Geological Survey standard bronze tablet marked "666 

Atlanta" on the right-bank pier of the Southern Railway bridge; 

elevation, 35.30 feet above the datum of the gage. It is 665.47 feet 

above sea level.

SAVANNAH RIVER NEAR CALHOUN FALLS, S. C.

Systematic measurements were begun at this point August 4, 1896. 

The station is located at the Seaboard Air Line Railroad bridge, 3 

miles west of Calhoim Falls, S. C., above the-mouth of Beaver Dam 

Creek, at tiie head of Trotters Shoal, and about one-fourth mile below 

the mouth of Rocky River. The observer is Peter J. Pfeiffer, who 

reads the gage once daily. The station is also used by the United 

States Weather Bureau, which pays the gage reader.

The river is divided into two channels by a large island containing 

several hundred acres. Both channels are slightly curved for about 

2 ; 000 feet above the bridge and are straight for about 500 feet below. 

The west channel, which is the main river, is sluggish only at low 

water. It has a rough and rocky bed and in places the current is 

irregular.

The east channel is a good section, but has a low velocity. The 

right bank of the west channel and the left bank of the east channel 

are high and wooded and are not liable to overflow. The island 

between the channels is nearly covered at extreme high water. At 

low water the east channel is 150 feet wide and from 3 to 4 feet deep. 

The main channel is about 400 feet wide and from 2 to 8 feet deep.

Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 

railroad bridge, to which the gage is attached. This bridge consists 

of one short span 175 feet in length across the east channel and 

three spans of 155 feet each across the west, or main, channel. These 

two sections are connected by 875 feet of a wooden trestle, from 35 

to 45 feet high, which crosses the. island between the two channels. 

The base of the rail is about 54 feet above low water. The initial 

point for soundings is the left-bank end of the iron bridge on the 

upstream side. A separate initial point has been used for each 

channel, the description being the same in both cases.
32 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

The chain gage is bolted to the downstream guard rail; 1S5 feet 

from the initial point for soundings. The length of the chain from 

the index to the end of weight is 57.10 feet.

Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the iron girder under the cross-ties 

of the downstream side of the bridge at a point 40 feet west of the 

second pier from the east end of the bridge; elevation, 54 feet above 

the gage datum. Bench mark No. 3 is a copper plug set in solid rock 

on the east bank of the east channel, 15 feet from the edge of the 

water and 110 feet upstream from the center of the railroad track; 

elevation, 14.38 feet above gage datum. The station was discontinued 

December 31, 1903.

Gage heights and monthly estimates of flow for 1901 and 1902, 

previously published for this station, are considered unreliable and 

hence are not reptiblished in this paper.

SAVANNAH RIVER AT WOODLAWN, S. C.

This station was established November 9, 1905, by M. R. Hall. 

It is located at the Charleston and Western Carolina Railway bridge, 

1,000 feet from the depot at Woodlawn, S. C., 17 miles above Augusta, 

Ga., and 10 miles above the Augusta water-power dam.

The flow is almost natural at this point, being affected very slightly 

by stored water, mostly from Seneca River. The river is divided by 

a low island into two channels. The east channel is the main part of 

the river, as there is very little water flowing in the west channel at 

ordinary stages and probably none at the lowest stage. The channel 

is practically straight at the station. The left bank is high and will 

not overflow except under the short trestle approach. The island 

and the bank for a short distance west of the west channel will overflow. The current is swift and is good in the greater part of the 

section at low water, but at places it is broken and irregular or is 

sloping with the direction of the section. The bed of the stream ia 

mostly rock, the considerable roughness of which causes the irregularities in the current above mentioned. Careful measurements 

should give good results at this station.

Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 

railroad bridge, which is in four spans over the east channel and a 

single span over the west channel. Across the island between the 

two channels there is about 900 feet of wooden trestle.

The gage is a boxed chain gage, attached to the upstream end of the 

second floor beam from the left end of the bridge. The length of the 

chain is 39 feet. It is read twice each day by M. A. Palmore. The 

bench mark is the top of the upstream end of the second floor beam 

from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 37.00 feet above the datum 

of the gage.

SAVANNAH RIVER AT AUGUSTA.

Since 1875 observations of river heights have been maintained at 

this station by the city of Augusta at the city highway bridge. The 

United States Weather Bureau has published the results of observations from 1875 to 1905 in a volume entitled " Stages of Water at 

River Stations."

The channel is straight for a long distance above and below the 

bridge and is about 560 feet wide at low water. The banks are high, 

but will overflow at times under a part of the length of the approaches 

and, at very high stages, for a long distance on either side of the river 

beyond the ends of the bridge. The bed of the stream is sandy and 

undergoes considerable change. The current is swift.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 

North Augusta bridge at Thirteenth street in the city of Augusta. 

This bridge consists of three spans, each 208 feet long, with 319 feet 

of wooden approach on the right bank and 259 feet on the left. The 

initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank 

on the downstream side.
SAVANNAH DBAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 39

The gage, located at the Fifth Street Bridge, 1 mile below the measuring station, is a vertical timber fastened to the first bridge pier which 

is in the water on the side of the pier near the upstream corner, facing 

the right bank. Readings are made four times each day by J. M. 

Youngblood, keeper of the city bridge, usually at 6 a. m., 12 m., 

6 p. m., and 9 p. m. The 6 a. m. readings are those used by the 

Weather Bureau, but are liable to be very misleading, owing to the 

great diurnal fluctuation of the water surface, and should not be used 

for important work. In the publications of the United States Geological Survey since 1900 the average of all four of the daily readings 

is used and is reduced to feet and tenths of a foot. The zero of the 

gage is the datum of all the city levels, and any city bench mark can 

therefore be used. A point is established on the North Augusta 

bridge from which to measure down with & steel tape. This is the top 

of the plate through which the top pipe of the bridge fencing passes, 

which is riveted to the right side of the intermediate post at the downstream end of the third floor beam from the right-bank end of the 

bridge, and at ordinary stages it is 55.00 feet above water, less the 

reading of the gage.

This station is located below all the wheels of the large developed 

water power belonging to the city of Augusta.

Water is diverted from the river above the city by a canal following 

along the right bank, described in Volume XVI of the Tenth Census, 

1880, page 789. A measurement of the canal by B. M. Hall on September 29, 1897, above all the water wheels, showed a flow of 2,640 

second-feet, presumably all of which was passing through the water 

wheels under varying heads. The full head is 50 feet, but the canal 

has three levels. Some of the wheels discharge from the upper level 

or main canal directly into the river, while others discharge from one 

level to another.

The highest water recorded was on September 11, 1888, at 38.7 feet. 

At that time the entire city was submerged, 10 persons were drowned, 

and property was damaged to the amount of $2,000,000.

The floods of this river have been investigated under the direction 

of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, and reports prepared 

by George W. Brown, assistant engineer. The first of these, dated 

February 11, 1889, was printed, with maps, as House Ex. Doc. No. 

213, Fifty-first Congress, first session; it was also given, with few 

maps, in the Report of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, 

1890, page 1340. A later report, dated June 10, 1890, also prepared 

by Mr. George W. Brown, was printed as Ex. Doc. No. 255, Fiftyfirst Congress, second session. In this report is given a rating table, 

showing the probable discharge of the river at heights on the gage 

of from 5 to 40 feet. On page 17 of this latter document is shown 

the run-off in cubic feet per second per square mile for various portions of the drainage basin. A table of distances and elevations and
40 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

slope of river, as well as a description of the character of the drainage 

basin, is also given.

From the figures in the above-named reports a computation was 

made by Cyrus C. Babb of the fluctuations of flow of Savannah River, 

the results being published in the Fourteenth Annual Report, Part 

II, of the United States Geological Survey, page 147, relating to 

the years 1884 to 1891, inclusive. A discussion of the results is also 

given in Transactions American Society of Civil Engineers, Volume 

XXIII, page 332.

By the use of a rating table Mr. Hall has computed the minimum 

flow, by months, from 1892 to 1898; inclusive. In each case he has 

taken the average of all the readings for the day of lowest water in 

the given month, and not the lowest single reading. The lowest 

average daily reading for the seven years is that on July 3, 1898, 

of 3.88.

was being held "back by the dam.

CHAUGA RIVER NEAR MADISON, S. C.

A station was established on Chauga River at Bryan wagon 

bridge, 2 miles east of Madison and 1 mile above the mouth of the 

river, by M. R. Hall, and measurements were made during 1900 and 

1901, in connection with the old station on Tugaloo River at Cooks 

Ferry, near Madison. When the Tugaloo River station was reestablished in 1903 the Chauga River station was also reestablished for the 

purpose of making a series of miscellaneous measurements.

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above the station; below 

it is curved for about 50 feet and then straight. The current is 

swift. The right bank is high, clean, and liable to overflow during 

freshets. The left bank is high, rocky, wooded, and not subject to
48 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

overflow. Floods can not be measured, as high water goes over the 

bridge.

Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 

single-span wooden bridge, which is supported by log cribs filled with 

rock and anchored to bed rock. The initial point for soundings is the 

top of the anchor bolt in the upstream comer of the right-bank 

abutment.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench marks. No. 

1 is the top of the downstream guard rail 7 feet from the right bank; 

elevation, 10.00 feet. No. 2 is a large nail driven horizontally into 

the center of the downstream end of the lowest cross log of the rightbank crib abutment; elevation, 4.50 feet. Elevations refer to the 

datum of the assumed gage.

SENECA RIVER NEAR CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C.

This station was established as a regular station by M. R. Hall on 

December 8, 1903, at which time a standard chain gage and the bench 

marks were established. A vertical gage had been put in July 19, 

1903, and records obtained from it for a portion of the time. Both 

gages are referred to the same datum. The station is located at the 

highway bridge about 3 miles south of Clemson College, S. C., and 

about 300 feet up the river from the crossing of the Blue Ridge 

Railroad.

At ordinary stages the channel is about 150 feet wide. The right 

bank is high and will not overflow, but the left bank will overflow for 

a considerable width at a gage height of about 23 feet. The bed of 

the river is sandy. The current is moderate. At low stages there is 

a daily fluctuation of about 1 foot in the gage heights, caused by the 

operations of water powers above.

The standard chain gage is located on the lower chord on the downstream side of the bridge; length of chain, 31.82 feet. The vertical 

gage is in 5-foot sections, fastened to the iron braces between the cylinders of the right-bank pier. Mud accumulates at the lower end of 

the vertical gage. The gage is read twice each day by M. L. Sanders. 

Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the upstream cylinder of the right-bank pier at a point marked U B. M." by
SAVANNAH DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 49

chisel cuts; elevation, 28.95 feet. (2) A copper plug set in rock on 

the right bank under the railroad bridge, and about 20 feet to the 

right of the center pier; elevation, 10.27 feet.

ROCKY RIVER NEAR CALHOUN FALLS, S. C.

This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located 

at a highway bridge just below Swearihgen's mill, about 3J miles 

northwest of Calhoun Falls, S. C. Discharge measurements are made 

from the downstream side of the bridge, which is 110 feet long and 

supported by two timber piers. The initial point for soundings is the 

right end of the downstream guard rail. The channel is curved for 

about 200 feet above and straight for 300 feet below the station. The 

current is swift. Both banks are subject to overflow during high 

water. The bed of the stream is composed of sand and gravel and is 

very changeable. The washing out and filling in of the channel prevents rating. The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of 

trestle cap on the left side of pier next the right bank. Its elevation 

is 6.00 feet above gage datum.

BROAD RIVER (OF GEORGIA) NEAR CARLTON.

This station was established May 27, 1897, by M. R. Hall. The 

gage is now maintained and the observer paid by the United States 

Weather Bureau. The station is located at the Seaboard Air Line 

bridge 3 miles east of Carlton and 2 miles above the mouth of the 

South Fork.

The channel above and below the station is straight for 500 feet. 

The right bank is high and is not liable to overflow. The left bank is 

low for about 400 feet, beyond which it is high and rocky. It overflows 

at a gage height of about 1C feet. The bed of the stream is sand and 

gravel and is somewhat changeable.

Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 

deck bridge, which has two spans of 125 feet each, with trestle 

approaches 340 feet long on the left bank and 50 feet long on the right 

bank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the iron bridge on 

the right bank, upstream side.

A standard chain gage is fastened to the guard rail, with its bottom 

resting on the upstream end of the cross-ties. The center of the pulley is 39.5 feet from the initial point for soundings. The length of 

the chain is 54.00 feet. The gage is read once each day by S. P. 

Powers, jr. During the low water of October 1 to December 31, 1905,

62 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

BROAD RIVER, (SOUTH FORK) NEAR CARLTON.

This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located 

at Bull Rat Rock, about 1 mile south of Carlton, Ga. Discharge 

measurements are made at a shoal about 100 yards above the rock by 

means of a boat. The initial point for soundings is a small sweetgum tree on the left bank. The channel is curved for 200 feet above 

and 500 feet below the station. The current is sluggish. The right 

bank is cultivated and the left is wooded. Both banks are subject 

to overflow at rare intervals. The bed of the stream is composed of 

rock and is very rough. The bench mark is composed of three copper nails driven into the gum tree, which forms the initial point for 

sounding. Its elevation is 5.00 feet above datum.

height, 1.18 feet; discharge, 106 second-feet.

CJiattooga River. This river joins the Tallulah River and forms 

Tugaloo River. The following measurement was made November 

16, 1905, from a small boat at a point about 5 miles northeast of 

Tallulah Falls, at a narrow channel about 1,000 feet below Atkins 

Ferry and opposite B. H. Atkins's residence. There is a small shoal 

about 150 feet below and one 300 feet above the point of measurement. At the time of flood in 1876 the water is said to have been 

36 to 40 feet higher than the present stage and did much damage to 

property. The bench mark is the center of the head of a wire nail 

driven horizontally into a sycamore stump, which stands on the right 

bank about 200 feet above the point of measurement; elevation, 6.13

SAVANNAH DRAINAGE BASIN, EIVEE SURVEYS. 67

SURVEY OF TUGALOO AND SAVANNAH RIVERS.

The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum tablet 

marked " 1050 M. C.," at the Washington street entrance to the State 

capitol at Atlanta, the elevation of which is accepted as 1,049.546 

feet above mean sea level. The initial point on which these levels 

depend is a bronze tablet at the north side of east entrance at courthouse at Clarksville, Ga., marked "1373 ATLANTA," the elevation of 

which is accepted as 1,371.991 feet above mean sea level, in accordance 

with the 1903 adjustment of the precise level net.

The leveling on Tugaloo, and on Savannah River from Tugaloo 

River to Broad River, was done in the summer of 1903, under the 

direction of Carroll Caldwell, field assistant, by Thomas B. O'Hagan, 

levelmaii.

The survey of Savannah River from Broad River to Augusta, Ga., 

was made by C. M. Pritchett, in January, 1903, for the United States 

Geological Survey.

SURVEY OF CHATTOOGA RIVER.

The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum 

tablet, marked " 1050 M. C./' at the Washington street entrance to 

the State capitol at Atlanta, the elevation of which is accepted as 

1,049.546 feet above mean sea level. The initial point upon which 

these levels depend is a bench mark of primary levels of the Tugaloo 

and Savannah River survey at the mouth of Chattooga River. The 

elevations accord with the 1903 adjustment.

The leveling was done for the U. S. Geological Survey in 1903 by 

Thomas B. O'Hagan, levelman, under the direction of Carroll Caldwell, field assistant.

SURVEY OF BROAD RIVER.

The elevations in the following list are based on a bronze tablet in 

a brick wall of R. L. Cade's store at Lisbon, Ga., marked "ATLANTA 

328," the elevation of which is accepted as 327.850 feet above mean 

sea level in accord with the 1903 adjustment of the precise level net.

The leveling was done in 1903 for the United States Geological 

Survey by Thomas B. O'Hagan, levelman, under the direction of 

Carroll Caldwell, field assistant.

WATER POWER IN SAVANNAH RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

GENERAL STATEMENT.

It is intended that the foregoing lists of water surface elevations 

along the main river and tributaries above Augusta shall give full 

and complete data in regard to the total fall and its distribution on 

these streams:

The record of the hydrographic stations at Augusta, Ga., Calhoun 

Falls, S. C., and Fort Madison, S. C., on Savannah and Tugaloo rivers, 

Carlton on Broad Kiver, and Tallulah Falls on Tallulah Kiver will 

form a basis for estimating the amount of water flowing at all points.

In the following, attention is called to certain important shoals and 

proposed grouping of shoals into proposed powers, and mention is 

made of some of the conditions relative to developing these powers, 

as well as to powers already utilized.
78 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

TALLULAH RIVER.

From the mouth of Popcorn Creek, near the headwaters, down to 

mouth of Tiger Creek, a distance of 25 miles, the fall is 265 feet, and 

as can be seen from the list of elevations is almost uniformly distributed, being slightly more than 10 feet to the mile. At a few points in 

the section the drop is from 5 to 10 feet in a short distance, and good 

small-power sites are available. In the next 4 miles below Tiger 

Creek the fall is 55 feet. This reaches the head of the rapids above 

Tallulah Falls, at which point there is an excellent location for a large 

storage dam. The fall from here down to the head of Tallulah Falls 

proper is 110 feet. Somewhere in this section the water should be 

diverted to a canal if the falls proper should ever be developed into a 

water power, as by beginning the canal at high enough elevation it 

can be put on comparatively good ground outside the gorge. A 

large water power can be developed in this section entirely above the 

falls proper at a comparatively small expense. Along Tallulah River, 

beginning at Tallulah Falls, is some of the most picturesque and 

rugged scenery in the Southern States. In 3J miles the river drops 

from 1,414 to 754 feet above sea level, or a distance of 660feet. Ihe 

principal falls, in the order they occur, are L'eau D'or 28 feet, Tempesta 76 feet, Hurricane 89 feet, Oceana 41 feet, Bridal Veil 17 feet, 

all occurring within a distance of less than three-fourths of a mile. 

The gorge is A^ery difficult and dangerous to climb. On both banks 

are precipitous cliffs, rising in some places 500 feet shear. The gorge 

continues to the Tugaloo, except for one stretch about one-half mile 

long, where it opens up and forms what is known as the Old Valley 

farm. In the 2J miles above the mouth of the river there is a fall of 

254 feet, all below the falls proper, which could be used for power 

without interfering with Tallulah Falls.

WATER POWER ON TUGALOO RIVER.

From the head of Tugaloo River down to the mouth of Panther 

Creek, a distance of 4-£ miles, there are some good shoals, the total 

fall being 85 feet. The banks are favorable for power development 

along the entire stretch. From Panther Creek to Averys Ferry, a 

distance of 35 miles, the slope is too gentle and the valley too wide to 

utilize the river without flooding considerable farming land. Chandler 

Shoals, 11 miles below Averys Ferry, begin near Bradberry Ferry and 

have a fall of 10 feet in three-fourths mile. Three-fourths of a mile 

below are Hatten Shoals, with a fall of 35 feet in 2 miles. These 

shoals are considered the finest on the river; a 45-foot dam at them 

would back the water about 4 miles, with very little damage to 

cultivated land. From this point down to the mouth of Seneca 

River, which is the head of Savannah River, the fall is 14 feet in a 

distance of 4 miles.
SAVANNAH DRAINAGE BABIN, WATER POWER. 79 

WATER POWER ON SAVANNAH RIVER.

The fall in Savannah River for the first 7 miles, down to the head 

of McDaniels Shoals, is 20 feet. At McDaniels Shoals there is a fall 

of 19 feet in 3 miles. Half a mile above the foot of the shoals, at the 

head of Harpers Island, is an excellent site for a dam about 700 feet 

long.

In the 4 miles between this power and the next at Turners Shoals 

the fall is 12 feet. At Turners Shoals there is a fall of 17 feet in about 

4£ miles. These shoals begin at Kenly Ferry and extend to Crafts 

Ferry. The river widens considerably about a mile below Kenly 

Ferry. There are several good sites for dams, one being on Crafts 

Island. The river is wide, however, requiring a dam about 1,000 

feet long.

Half a mile below, at Middleton Shoals, there is a fall of 11 feet in 

If miles, with an excellent site for a dam at the foot of the shoals. 

In 1| miles below, the fall is 5 feet. This reaches the head of Gregg 

Shoals, where the fall is 8 feet in about a mile. Here the river runs 

between steep hills, and a dam would be about 900 feet long.

Half a mile below Moseleys Ferry are the Cherokee Shoals, having 19 

feet fall in 2| miles. This is a very fine power site, as the river runs 

between steep hills. A dam would have to be 1,000 feet long, and 

would be placed about a quarter of a mile above the Seaboard Air Line 

railroad bridge.

One and a quarter miles below the bridge are Trotters Shoals, with 

a fall of 75 feet in 6 miles. These are considered the finest shoals on 

the river. They commence at the foot of Watkins Island and extend 

below Tate's mill to Coffer Creek. In this distance there are numerous rocky bluffs where there are excellent dam sites.

In the next 5 miles, extending to the mouth of Broad River, the 

fall is 11 feet. From the mouth of Broad River down to Little River, 

from the South Carolina side, the fall is slight, being 23 feet in the 

distance of 16 miles. From this point down to the upper end of Long 

Shoals the fall is 42 feet in 6 miles.

The fall is 23 feet in the next 5 miles, extending to the foot of Scotts 

Shoals. From here to the Augusta dam the fall is 28 feet in 15 miles.

At Augusta the power is fully developed by a dam about 10 feet 

high and a canal 7 miles long. The head is about 50 feet. This 

power belongs to the city of Augusta. It was developed in 1845-1847 

and the canal was enlarged in 1872-1875.

Tallulah River unites with Chattooga River to form the Tugaloo. 

Chattooga River contains many available undeveloped power sites. 

From its mouth to Warwoman Creek, a distance of 23 miles, the river
80 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

flows through a wild, rugged country, being in a gorge almost the 

entire distance, which results in a very narrow and swift stream. 

There are numerous dam sites along this distance, the river being 

almost one continuous shoal, averaging a fall of 32 feet to the mile, 

and having a fine rock bottom, with rock cliffs on either side. From 

Warwoman Creek up to Russells Bridge the valley is wide and the fall 

is much less, being 78 feet in 7 miles.

WATER POWER ON BROAD RIVER.

Ill the 4f miles from the mouth of the river to foot of Anthony 

Shoals the fall is 13 feet, 8 feet of which occurs in a distance of 1 mile 

at Millford Shoals.

Anthony Shoals is the finest power site on the river and is one of 

the best in the State, the fall being 62 feet in a distance of If miles. 

Several plans have been proposed for developing the power. Probably the best plan is to build a dam near the upper end of the shoal 

high enough to raise the water at least 10 feet, and to construct a 

canal to a point near the foot of the shoals. The proposed raise of 10 

feet would back the water 10 miles up the river to the foot of Fish 

dam, where there is a 3-foot dam, 250 feet long, furnishing power for 

a gristmill and a sawmill. From Fish dam to the mouth of South 

Broad River, 15 miles, there is a fall of 23 feet, with no shoal of any 

consequence. The bottoms are wide in most places and are in a high 

state of cultivation.

One mile above the mouth of South Broad River are the Detweiler 

Shoals, with a fall of 7 feet in one-half mile. A mile and a half farther 

are the Lower Moore Shoals, with a fall of 7 feet in one-third mile, 

with good outcrops of hard rock on both sides. A dam here would 

be about 350 feet long.

Five miles farther up the river are Payton Shoals with a fall of 

3 feet in one-third mile. In the 4 miles from Payton Shoals to the 

foot of Moores Shoals the fall is 29 feet. At Moores Shoals there is a 

fall of 28 feet in lj miles. Above this point there are several shoals 

with good sites for dams. The fall is 35 feet for the first 5 miles up 

to the mouth of Blue Creek, and about 5 feet to the mile above this 

to the end of the surve}7 at Harrison Bridge.

OGEECHEE TMVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN.

Ogeechee River is formed by the junction of Williamsons Swamp 

Creek and Rocky Comfort Creek in Jefferson County, Ga., and drains 

a small basin in southeastern Georgia lying between the Savannah and 

Altamaha basins. Ogeechee River runs in a southeaster!}7 direction 

and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Its main tributary is Cannoochee
OGEECHEE DEAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 81

Biver, which rises in Emanuel County, Ga., and flows southeast, joining the Ogeechee about 20 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The 

streams in this basin run through a country that is mostly low. The 

current is generally good, but the fall available for power is probably 

small. The bank on one side or the other of the stream is generally 

low and swampy.

STREAM FLOW. 

OGEECHEE RIVER NEAR MILLEN.

This station was established by F. A. Murray at Daniel's toll bridge, 

1 mile west of Millen, on June 20, 1903, but was discontinued December 31, 1903, on account of poor conditions for accurate measurement 

of the flow.

The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and about 500 

feet below the bridge. The current is swift in the main channel and 

sluggish near the banks. The right bank is low and overflows. There 

is a trestle approach for about 300 feet over low, swampy land on this 

side of the river. The left bank is lower than the right bank, the 

swamp extending back from the river about one-fourth mile. The 

bed of the stream is sandy and shifting. There is but one channel 

at ordinary stages, but several channels at high water.

Discharge measurements were made from the upstream side of the 

wooden highway bridge to which the gage is attached. The bridge 

is at an angle of about 45° to the current. The initial point for 

soundings is the end of the hand rail at the tollhouse on the left bank, 

upstream side of the bridge.

The gage is a vertical rod reading from 0 to 12 feet. It is nailed 

to the upstream post of the third bent from the tollhouse. The gage 

was read once daily during 1903 by T. J. Lane, the toll keeper.

Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the upstream end of the cap of the 

first bent from the tollhouse; elevation, 12.00 feet above the zero of 

the gage. Bench mark No. 2 consists of a notch and nails in the 

corner of the tollhouse next the river; elevation, 18.00 feet above 

the zero of the gage.

OGEECHEE DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 83

WILLIAMSONS SWAMP CREEK AT DAVISBORO.

This station was established June 19, 1903, by F. A. Murray, at 

the Davisboro Bridge, about 200 yards south of the Central of Georgia 

Railroad station, which is in the middle of the town. It was discontinued on December 31, 1904.

The channel is straight for about 200 feet above and below the station. The right bank is low and overflows at a gage reading of 4 to 4 J 

feet. The left bank will overflow at a gage height of 3 feet. The 

bed of the stream is sandy and is slightly shifting. There is but one 

channel at all stages. The current is somewhat obstructed by the 

bents which support the bridge at low water and by trees and brush on 

the banks at high water. Discharge measurements were made from 

the upstream side of the wooden highway bridge, which is supported 

by wooden bents about 18 feet apart. The initial point for soundings 

is the outer edge of the post which supports the end of the hand rail on 

the left bank upstream side of the bridge. The gage is a vertical rod 10 

feet long. It is nailed to the left side of the upstream post of the bent 

which supports the bridge at a point 302 feet from the initial point for 

soundings. It was read once each day by A. Baker, a hotel proprietor, 

who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey.

Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the bridge floor at the bent 302 feet 

from the initial point for soundings on the upstream side of the bridge. 

The point is marked with a cross and the letters "B. M." cut into the 

top of the bridge-floor plank; elevation, 11.00 feet above the zero of 

the gage, which is attached to the same bent. Bench mark No. 2 is the 

center of a large wire nail driven horizontally into the bridgeward side 

of an ash tree which stands in the creek near the right bank about 40 

feet below the bridge; elevation, 5.50 feet above the zero of the gage.

Discharge, measurements of Williamsons Swamp Creek at Davisboro.

CANNOOCHEE RIVER NEAR GROVELAND.

This station was established June 12, 1903, by F. A. Murray, at 

Moody's bridge, 3 miles south of Groveland, Bryan County.

The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and 400 feet below 

the station. The current is swift in the main channel, but sluggish 

near the banks. Both banks are of clay and sand, and overflow at 

from 15 to 16 feet gage height. The bed of the stream is of silt, and is 

shifting. There is but one channel at all stages, broken by the piers 

of the bridge, up to the height at which the river overflows its banks.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 

nine-span wooden highway bridge. The initial point for soundings is 

the outer edge of the post which supports the end of the hand rail on 

the downstream side of the bridge on the left bank.

The original gage, reading from 0 to 17 feet, is nailed to the right 

side of the upstream post of the fourth bent from the left bank. From 

17 to 20 feet the post is graduated to feet and half feet. A new gage, 

reading from 0 to 10 feet, is fastened to the left-bank side of the 

upstream post of the third bent from the left bank, this being the first 

bent in the water at ordinary stages. Another section of the gage, 

reading from 5 to 10 feet, is fastened to a gum tree on the left bank 25 

feet above the bridge. This gage faces the bridge, and is used for the
86 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

stages which it covers. The gage is read once each day by J. M. 

Edwards. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of 

the bridge floor at the fourth bent from the left end of the bridge on 

the upstream side opposite a point 61 feet from the initial point for 

soundings, marked by a cross and the letters "B. M." cut in the floor; 

elevation, 20.00 feet. (2) Two large wire nails driven into the tree to 

which the third section of the gage is fastened; elevation, 5.30 feet. 

Two more nails are also driven at the 8-foot mark.

ALTAMAHA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN.

Altamaha River is formed by the junction of Oconee and Ocmulgee 

rivers, which unite at the southern boundary of Montgomery County, 

Ga. Ohoopee River is also a tributary, entering from the north 

side about 50 miles below the junction of the Oconee and Ocmulgee. 

The Altamaha River drainage is entirely within the State of Georgia. 

The river rises in the north-central part and flows in a southeasterly 

direction, emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Darien. Below the 

junction of the Oconee and Ocmulgee and for a long distance above, 

on both rivers, there is no great amount of fall. Steamboat navigation is carried on from Darien to Macon on the Ocmulgee, and to 

Dublin, and at times to Milledgeville, on the Oconee.

Ohoopee River rises in Washington Count}^ and flows in a southeasterly direction to the Altamaha. It flows from the low hills of 

southeastern Georgia into the flat pine lands. Though it has not so 

much fall as the more northern streams, it has considerable fall that 

can be developed into power.

Oconee River rises on the southern slope of the Chattahoochee 

Ridge, in Hill County, and joins the middle Oconee on the southwest 

boundary of Clarke County. From there it flows in a southeasterly 

direction to the Altamaha. Apalachee River is a large tributary 

which rises in Gwinnett and Walton counties and enters the Oconee 

near the southeastern corner of Morgan County. Little River enters 

the main stream at the corner of Putnam, Hancock, and Baldwin 

counties, about 15 miles above Milledgeville, Ga. These tributaries
92 WATER RESOURCES OP GEORGIA.

have much, fall, and a small part of it is developed. The Oconee 

has a fall of 250 feet in 45 miles. It has some very large water 

powers available from its source down to Milledgeville, where it 

crosses the fall line.

Ocmulgee River, the most westerly of the main tributaries, rises 

in the north-central part of Georgia on the southern slope of the 

Chattahoochee Ridge in Fulton, Dekalb, and Gwinnett counties. It 

is formed by the junction of Yellow and South rivers just south of 

the southern corner of Newton County. Yellow River rises in Gwinnett County and flows in a southerly direction into the Ocmulgee. 

South River rises in Fulton and Dekalb counties and flows in a 

southeasterly direction. Alcovy River joins the Ocmulgee about 5 

miles below the junction of the South and Yellow rivers. Towaliga 

River enters the Ocmulgee at about the southwest corner of Jasper 

County.

All these tributaries rise in and flow through a very hilly country 

and have a great deal of fall. Ocmulgee River has a fall of over 210 

feet in 35 miles. The last_fall of much size is only a few miles above 

Macon, Ga.

STREAM FLOW. 

SOUTH RIVER NEAR LITHONIA.

This station was established by F. A. Murray on August 17, 1903, 

a short distance above Albert Shoals, 6 miles south of Lithonia, and 

was discontinued on December 31, 1904.

The channel above the station is nearly straight for about 300 feet, 

and the current is sluggish, being held back by rock ledges below the 

station. Below the station the channel curves slightly and the current is sluggish for about 400 feet, at which point the shoals begin. 

The right bank is low and overflows at a gage height of 9 or 10 feet 

into a second channel, which has a width at high water of about 200 

feet. The left bank is high and rocky, and does not overflow. The 

bottom is solid rock.

Discharge measurements were made from the 3-span wooden highway bridge. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge 

on the right bank, upstream side.

The gage is a vertical 10-foot rod fastened to a tree on the right 

bank just below the bridge. It was read once each day by W. N. 

New, who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey.

Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the upstream end of the first wooden 

floor beam from the right bank; elevation, 15.00 feet above the zero 

of the gage. Bench mark No. 2 is the center of a wire nail driven 

horizontally in the upstream side of the base of a willow tree on the 

left bank about 40 feet upstream from the bridge; elevation, 4.00 

feet above the zero of the gage.

SOUTH RIVER XEAR SNAPPING SHOALS.

This station was established in 1905 for the purpose of making a 

series of miscellaneous discharge measurements. It is located at a 

four-span wooden bridge, known as Butlers Bridge, about 15 miles 

south from Conyers, and 4 miles above Snapping Shoals, where there 

is a large amount of fall.

The current is smooth and is fairly swift at lowest water. It is 

broken by one pier at low water. The right bank may overflow 

beyond the bridge approach at high floods. The left bank will not 

overflow. The bed is sandy and will probably change.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which 

is the top of the downstream end, at the edge of the floor, of the first 

wooden floor beam from the left end of the third span from the left 

bank; elevation, 25.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

OCMULGEE RIVER NEAR PLOVILLA.

A station was established July 26, 1901, on Ocmulgee River at 

Lamars Ferry, one-half mile below Lamar's mill and 5 miles east of 

Flo villa. The object of this station was to compare the discharge 

of the river at this point with its discharge below, at Macon, through 

the low-water season. The gage and bench marks were washed away 

by a flood February 27, 1902. The station was reestablished June 

18, 1903, at Lamars Ferry, by M. R. Hall.

The channel is straight for 1,000 feet above and 5,000 feet below 

the station. The current is swift and regular. The right bank is 

high, but overflows at extreme high water. The left bank is somewhat lower. The bed of the stream is sandy and shifting, and there 

is but one channel.

Discharge measurements are made from the ferryboat. The initial 

point for soundings is the windlass 011 the right bank.

The vertical gage is in three sections: The first section, reading 

from 0 to 5 feet, is fastened to a willow tree at the mouth of a small 

branch about 20 feet above the ferry landing on the right bank; the 

second section, reading from 5 to 15 feet, is nailed to an ash tree 

about 60 feet from the river up the same branch; the third section, 

reading from 15 to 25 feet, is attached to a cottonwood tree on the 

bank of the same branch, about 200 feet from the river. No attempt 

was made to place this gage on the same datum as the old one. The 

gage is read once each day by B. S. White, who is paid by the Georgia 

Geological Survey. During the low-water period from October 1 

to December 31, 1905, the gage was read twice each day. Bench 

marks were established as follows: (1) A nail driven into a large 

cottonwood tree about 200 feet from the river, on the branch on which 

the gage is located; elevation, 14.00 feet. (2) A cross in the solid 

rock, 100 feet uphill from the first bench mark and 140 feet north 

from the wagon road, at a point 250 feet west of the ferry; elevation, 

34.24 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

100 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 

OCMULGEE RIVER AT MACON.

A station was established at Macon January 21, 1893, by the 

United States Weather Bureau. Discharge measurements were begun 

by the United States Geological Survey in 1895, and a wire gage was 

established on the bridge of the Macon, Dublin and Savannah Railroad and was set on the same datum as the Weather Bureau gage. 

For a time gage-height records were maintained by the Geological 

Survey, as the Weather Bureau records were for a part of the year 

only and were discontinued altogether from June 30, 1897, to June 1, 

1899. Since June 1, 1899, the Weather Bureau gage-height records 

have been taken continuously and have been furnished to the Geological Survey.

The channel is straight and without obstructions, except for one 

bridge pier. The banks are high and not subject to overflow. The 

bed of the river is soft and changeable. The station was a fairly good 

one until the spring of 1902, when the bed of the stream below the 

station, which is of shifting sand, changed to such an extent as to 

make the current very sluggish at low stages.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 

the Fifth Street Bridge, an iron bridge of two 190-foot spans, located 

about 500 feet above the railroad bridge. The initial point for 

soundings is the end of the iron hand rail of the footway at the right 

bank on the downstream side.

The Weather Bureau gage is a heavy timber bolted to the downstream portion of the right-bank stone pier of the Central of Georgia 

Railway bridge. October 9, 1905, a standard chain gage was installed 

on the Fifth Street Bridge, on the outside of the latticed railing of the 

downstream footway at a point 85 feet ^rom the right-bank end; 

length of chain, 40.83 feet. Bench marks were established as follows: 

(1) The top of the iron rim of the sidewalk 80 feet from the initial 

point for soundings; elevation, 34.42 feet. (2) An aluminum tablet 

on the wall at the west side of the door of the United States Government building at the Mulberry street front. This bench mark is 

marked 334 feet and Vs an elevation of 64.37 feet above the zero of 

the gage.

a Gage heights from October 3 to ,J are considered too low to represent the true mean. The minimum discharge for the mouth has been assumed to apply for those days.

YELLOW RIVEE NEAR STONE MOUNTAIN.

This station was established in 1905 for the purpose of making a 

series of miscellaneous measurements. It is located at the single-span 

bridge known as Sextons Bridge, about 6 miles east from Stone 

Mountain and 2^ miles above the old Annistown factory site, where 

there is a large amount of fall.

The section is good for measurements, but the bed is sandy and 

shifting. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge. Gage 

heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the 

top of the downstream end of the floor beam at the middle of the 

span; elevation, 21.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

YELLOW RIVER AT ALMON.

A temporary station was maintained from September 12 to December 31, 1897, at a low bridge about 200 yards below the Georgia Railroad crossing. No records were kept during 1898. On May 9, 1899, 

the station was reestablished at a wagon bridge about three-fourths 

of a mile north of the town of Almon and the same distance up the 

river from the Georgia Railroad crossing. The station was discontinued December 31, 1901.

The gage is fastened to the side of the upstream post of a bridge 

bent near the left bank. The bench mark is a railroad spike driven 

into a s^ycamore tree on the left bank of the river about 100 feet above 

the bridge; elevation, 7.00 feet above gage datum.

ALCOVY RIVER NEAR COVINGTON.

This station was established on April 30, 1901, about 3 miles east 

of Covington, at a low wooden bridge which is often under water. It 

was discontinued on December 31, 1904.

The banks are low and liable to overflow. The ground on the right 

bank is low and swampy for several hundred yards and is flooded by a 

moderate rise. The bed of the stream is sandy and shifting, and the 

water is sluggish at low stages. Discharge measurements were made 

from the upstream side of a low, two-span, wooden bridge about 100 

feet long. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge 

floor on the left bank, upstream side. The gage is a vertical rod 10 

feet long, spiked to a birch tree on the left bank of the river 2 feet from 

the upstream side of the bridge. The observer was Stephen Belcher,
ALTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASTN, STREAM FLOW. 119

a farmer living near, who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. 

Bench mark No. 2 is a copper plug set in the solid rock on the north 

edge of the side ditch on the upstream side of the road, 100 feet from 

the end of the bridge, on the left bank of the river; elevation, 7.82 

feet above the zero of the gage.

ALCOVY RIVER NEAR STEWART.

Tliis station was established September 16, 1905, by M. R. Hall. 

It is located at a wooden wagon bridge known as "Waters Bridge," 

about 15 miles south of Covington, Ga., and 5 miles from Stewart, 

below the mouth of Bear Creek and about 4 miles from the mouth 

of the river. The station is important because it is a short distance 

below a large amount of fall at the old Newton factory site.

The channel curves to the left bank about 45° in 300 feet above 

the station, and is straight for 1,000 feet below the station. The 

right bank is high and will not overflow. The left bank may overflow about 200 feet at high floods. The channel above and below 

appears to contain much sand, which is shifting, though the bed is 

mostly rock in the part under the right span of the bridge, to which 

nearly all of the flow is confined at lowest stage of water.

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of three spans 

of about 50 feet each.

A vertical staff gage is attached to a birch tree at the right edge of 

the water, 12 feet upstream from the bridge. It is read once each 

day by A. J. White. The bench mark is a cross and circles cut on a 

solid rock outcrop at the right edge of the water, just under the 

downstream side of the bridge; elevation, 2.36 feet above the datum 

of the gage.

ALTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 125

TOWALIGA RIVER NEAR JULIETTE.

The drainage basin of this stream occupies a small area in central 

Georgia, its headwater tributary adjoining those of Flint River on 

the west, and small creeks draining into the Ocmulgee on the east. 

The river is a tributary of Ocmulgee River, entering it 25 miles above 

Macon. The area drained is a rolling country and extensively cultivated. A gaging station was established by B. M. Hall near its 

mouth, at the Southern Railway bridge, 2J miles north of Juliette on 

May 5, 1899, but observations of gage heights were not started until 

November 2. The station was discontinued December 31, 1901.

At low stages measurements were made at the wagon bridge a 

half mile above the railroad bridge. W. L. Jackson, a farmer living 

a half mile from the bridge, was the observer. His address is Berner, 

Ga. The rod is nailed to the timber crib at the base of the leftbank pier of the iron single-span bridge. Bench mark No. 1 is at 

the top of the downstream iron girder under the cross-ties 40 feet 

from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 37.30 feet above gage 

datum. Bench mark No. 2 is at the top of the rail at the same 

point; elevation, 38.80 feet above gage datum.

MIDDLE OCONEE RIVER NEAR ATHENS.

Middle Oconee River rises in Hall County and flows southeastward 

through Jackson and Clarke counties to its junction with the East 

Fork, 6 miles below Athens. It drains a rolling area of 300 square 

miles.

Measurements were begun at Athens on October 11, 1901, the station having been established by Prof. C. M. Strahan, of the University
128 WATEK EESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

of Georgia. It is located on a wagon bridge, known as Mitchells 

Bridge, on the Athens and Lawrenceville road, 3J miles from Athens 

and about 7£ miles above the junction of Middle Oconee with its 

eastern fork. It is 4 miles above the dam of the Princeton factory, an 

8-foot shoal intervening, and one-third of a mile below the dam of the 

Athens Electric Railway Company. The station was discontinued on 

October 25, 1902.

The channel is straight and unobstructed except by remains of 

old piers just inside the present piers, the old piers being covered at a 

gage height of 3 feet. The banks are high and the approaches short. 

The water rises rapidly in time of flood, the maximum gage height 

being 22.9 feet and the average gage height 2.5 to 3 feet.

Discharge measurements were made from the bridge, which is of the 

covered wooden lattice type. The initial point for soundings is a 

spike at the west end of the north bridge truss. The gage is of wire, 

mounted on the north truss, near the east end of the bridge. It is ' O

protected by a plank cover and locked. The bench mark is the top of 

the lower chord at the gage pulley, 26.85 feet above the river bottom^ 

which is the zero point of the g"age, the latter being set to read zero 

when the weight touches the bottom. The graduations are laid off 

on the lower chord 20 feet and can be extended to 26 feet.

OCOXEE RIVER AT BARNETT SHOALS.

This station was established by Prof. C. M. Strahaii, of the University of Georgia, on August 6, 1901, and was discontinued on August 

23, 1902, for want of an observer. It was located at Barnetts Bridge, 

1 mile above Barnett Shoals and 4 miles east of Watkinsville. Discharge measurements were made from the downstream side of the 

bridge, which is a covered lattice single-span bridge, with a total 

length of 109 feet between abutments. The observer was R. L. 

McRee, a storekeeper at Barnett Shoals, who read the gage once 

daily at ordinary stages and twice daily during low stages, when the 

regularity of the flow is affected by the small dam of the Georgia 

factory, 60- miles upstream. The gage is a 10-foot rod nailed to a 

tree on the left bank just above the bridge, and extended to a length 

of 16 feet by means of a plank marked in feet fastened above. The 

bench mark is a large nail driven into the tree; elevation, 6.00 feet 

above the datum of the gage.

OCONEE RIVER NEAR GREENSBORO.

This station was established July 25, 1903, by M. R. Hall. It is 

located at the new wagon bridge, about 5 miles west of Greensboro, 

on the road to Madison.

Ordinarily the river is about 120 feet wide, with sandy and shifting 

bed. The channel is nearly straight, and the current is regular. The 

right bank is high and rocky, with the exception of a low bench under 

the bridge and approach. The left bank is low and will overflow at a 

gage height of about 12 to 15 feet to the end of the approach for a.
ALTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASIN, STEEAM FLOW. 133

distance of about 600 feet and at extreme high water may pass 

beyond the end of the approach.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 

the bridge, the initial point for soundings being the end of the iron 

trestle on the right bank, downstream side. The bridge is of two 

spans: The first span from the right bank is 80 feet long, and is not 

over the water except at time of floods; the main span over the river 

is 144 feet long. There are also 52 feet of iron trestle and about 40 

feet of wooden trestle on the right bank, and 253 feet of iron trestle 

and about 325 feet of wooden trestle on the left bank.

A standard chain gage is fastened to the lower chord of the downstream side of the bridge 163 to 165 feet from the initial point for 

soundings; length of chain, 38.73 feet. The gage is read once each 

day by M. A. Stevens, except during three months of the low-water 

period, when it is read twice each day. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the second 

floor beam from the right-bank pier; elevation, 36.00 feet; (2) a 

copper plug set in the rock under the upstream side of the bridge 

opposite a point 84 feet from the initial point for soundings; elevation, 

13.55 feet.

OCOXEE RIYER AT CAREY.

This station, which was established October 29, 1896, is located at 

an iron girder deck bridge on the Georgia Railroad at the station of 

Carey, 6 miles west of Greensboro, and just below the junction of the 

Apalachee and Oconee rivers.

Both banks are low and liable to overflow under the trestles to the 

end of embankments. The bed of the stream is rocky and the current 

good.

The top of the iron girder 20 feet from the left-bank end of the bridge 

on the downstream side is 41.13 feet above the datum of the gage 

heights.

The rating was evidently affected by the dam several miles below, 

and for this reason the station was abandoned March 31, 1898.

a These estimates have been revised on the basis of the 1897 rating curve.

b Discharge interpolated November 18 to 24, 1896.

c The low-water height reported at Gary from September 7 to September 16,1897, was probably caused 

by the opening for repairs of a dam 2 or 3 miles below this point. An inspection of the conditions at 

Macon and other stations shows that this period did not include the lowest water of the year but that 

the minimum occurred during the first two weeks in October. Leaving out of account this period of 

sudden apparent low water, the lowest gage reading at Cary was 1.10 on October 4. A measurement 

made on that day at 1.08 showed a discharge of 381 second-feet.

OCONEE RIVER AT FRALEYS FERRY, NEAR MILLEDGEVILLE.

This station is located at Fraleys Ferry, about 6 miles above Milledgeville, and about 4 miles below the mouth of Little River. This 

point being above the dam at Milledgeville, the river has a nearly 

natural flow, being but slightly affected by the dams a great distance 

upstream.

The channel is straight for some distance above and below the 

station. The current is moderate or slow at low stages. The bed 

is sandy and changing, but the rock shoals below will probably control the water level at the station.

Discharge measurements are made from the ferryboat or from a 

small boat controlled by the ferry cable along which the distances
ALTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASIN. STREAM FLOW. 139

are marked. Measurements can be made at low and medium stages 

only, as the current is too great for safety in boat measurements at 

the higher stages.

During a short period in October and November, 1905, gage-height 

records were maintained by Charles F. Howe, who put in a temporary 

gage and has furnished the records to the Geological Survey. These 

gage heights, which are the mean of four readings daily, and the discharge measurements which were made, form a much more accurate 

basis for estimating the flow for the period which they cover than the 

records for the station at Milledgeville, 6 miles below. The bench 

mark is a nail driven horizontally into an ash tree on the right bank 

about 200 feet above the ferry; elevation, 10.00 feet above the datum 

of the gage.

OCONEE RIVER AT MILLEDGEVILLE.

This station was established August 22, 1903, by M. R. Hall, 

though several discharge measurements were made before that time, 

the first being made October 19, 1895, by C. C. Babb. The bench 

mark to which the present gage is referred was used for each of these 

early measurements. The station is located at the iron highway 

bridge in the eastern part of Milledgeville.

At low water the river is about 300 feet wide, including two piers, 

and often a sand bar of considerable extent in the third span. This 

bar sometimes practically stops the third-span channel, leaving the 

river about 200 feet wide. The bed is sandy and shifting and the 

water is shallow and swift. These conditions are unfavorable to
140 WATER RESOURCES OP GEORGIA.

accurate measurements as well as a constant rating. The channel is 

only slightly curved. Both banks are high and will not overflow.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 

the bridge, the initial point for soundings being the end of the iron 

bridge at the right bank, downstream side. The bridge consists of 

four spans, 100 feet, 150 feet, 150 feet, and 80 feet long, respectively, 

beginning at the right-bank end, and short wooden trestles about 25 

feet long at each end.

A standard chain gage, established in August, 1904, is fastened to 

the intermediate posts 011 the upstream side of the third panel of the 

second span from the right bank. The gage is read once each day 

by J. A. Brooks, who has been paid by the United States Weather 

Bureau since June 30, 1903. The bottom of the gage box is 43.80 

feet above the datum of the gage, and the length of the chain is 45.80 

feet. The bench mark is the top of the third floor beam from the 

pier on the east bank, downstream end; elevation, 39.00 feet above 

the datum of the gage.

o Owing to tbp irregular running of the mill above this station during the low-water period, the true 

mean gage height was not always obtained, although two readings were made each day. From this 

cause the gage heights below 0.5 foot are probably too low and in some cases gage heights above 0.5 foot 

may be artificially high.

OCONEE RIVER AT DUBLIN.

A station was established by the United States Weather Bureau in 

1894 at Dublin, Ga., about 60 miles above the junction of the Oconee 

with the Ocmulgee. Records were kept, with the exception of the 

summer months of 1896, until April 30, 1897, when the station was 

discontinued. In 1898 discharge measurements were commenced by 

the United States Geological Survey, and February 11 an observer was 

employed to read the gage. October 15, 1898, the Weather Bureau 

again adopted the station and has maintained the gage and furnished 

gage heights to the Geological Survey continuously since that time.

The ordinary width of the river is about 235 feet. At a gage height 

of about 20 feet the left bank begins to overflow, and is practically 

covered to the end of the approach at 25 feet. This ground is thickly 

covered with a brushy growth, which will no doubt cause the velocity 

of the water overflowing it to be small. The right bank does not

overflow. The bed of the stream is of loose rock, sand, and gravel. 

The channel is straight and the current is swift and fairly uniform, 

except where it is broken by the three bridge piers.

Discharge measurements are made from the iron highway bridge, 

which consists of a draw span between two other spans of 75 feet each. 

The total length of the bridge proper is 320 feet. On the left bank, 

which is low, there are 1,100 feet of iron-frame trestle approach. There 

is also a short trestle on the right bank, which is high. The initial 

point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank, on the 

upstream side.

The gage is a heavy timber bolted to the downstream side of the 

center pier of the Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad bridge, 500 feet 

downstream from the highway bridge.

The bridge is a drawbridge, and the pier to which the gage is 

attached is the circular center pier of the draw span. A secondary 

sloping gage, reading from 1.6 to +1.9 feet, is attached to a solid 

rock on the right bank about 25 feet above the railroad bridge. The 

gage is read once each day by R. F. Mathis. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the upstream end of the floor beam 

on top of the first tubular pier of the wagon bridge from the right 

bank; elevation, 41.30 feet. (2) A point on the fifth step from the 

bottom at the south entrance of the court-house, 6 inches from the 

east end of the step; elevation, 82.51 feet.

a Daily estimates of discharge above gage height 12 feet for the years 1898 to 1902, inclusive, are from 

5 to 25 per cent too low, owing to insufficient data to properly determine the upper part of the original

forthese yearswere not revised becausethe number of days whenthe gage height was more than 12feet 

was relatively small and hence the monthly estimates are but slightly affected.
152 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

APALAOHEE RIVER NEAR BUCKHEAD.

,This station was established February 13, 1901, by M. R. Hall. It 

is located at the iron wagon bridge over Apalachee River, about 3J 

miles north of Buckhead.

At ordinary stages the channel is about 80 feet wide, and is only 

slightly curved above and below the bridge. The bed of the stream 

is part rock and part sand. The current is moderately swift and is 

somewhat broken and irregular on account of the ruins of old pier 

bases about 50 feet upstream. The right bank is low for a distance of 

400 feet and will overflow at a gage height of 10 feet. The low portion 

is thickly covered with trees and a brushy growth, which will greatly 

retard the flood water passing over it. The left bank is high and will 

not overflow, except to a short distance up the steep slope.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 

bridge, the initial point being the outside of the iron pier at the. left 

bank, downstream side. The bridge is a single span 103 feet long, supported by tubular piers. Its trestle approaches are about 500 feet 

long on the right bank and about 100 feet on the left.

The original gage consisted of two sections. The first section, reading from 0 to 10 feet, was fastened to a small ash tree on the left bank 

about 100 feet below the bridge, and the second, reading from 6 to 

20 feet, was nailed to the upstream post of the last wooden bent next 

to the iron bridge, on the right bank. March 22, 1905, a standard 

chain gage was attached to the upstream side of the bridge, in the 

third panel from the right bank; length of the chain, 30.70 feet. The 

gage is read once each day by G. A. J. Adams, except for three months 

during low water, when readings are made twice each day. Bench 

marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the downstream 

end of the first floor beam from the right bank; elevation, 25.50 feet 

above datum of gage. (2) A copper plug set in solid rock 10 feet 

west of the upstream tubular pier on the right bank and 3 feet upstream from the line of the upper edge of the bridge; elevation, 

3.73 feet above datum of gage.

158 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

OHOOPEE RIVER NEAR REIDSVILLE.

This station was established June 13, 1903, by F. A. Murray. It is 

located at the wooden highway bridge, known as Sheppards Bridge, 

4? miles west cf Reidsville.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 

bridge. The initial point for soundings is the outer edge of the first 

crossbeam at the left end cf the bridge, downstream side. The original gage consisted of two 5-foot sections spiked to the bridge and a 

third section fastened to a cypress tree on the left bank above the 

bridge. June 10, 1905, the gage was changed to the right side cf 

the second bent from' the left bank; it is fastened to the bent in 

four 5-foot sections. The gage is read by J. D. Swain, who is paid 

by the Georgia Geological Survey. Bench marks were established as 

follows: (1) The top of the cap of the fifth bent from the left end cf 

the bridge on the upstream side, opposite a point 106 feet from the 

initial p,,int for soundings; elevation, 20.00 feet; (2) two nails driven 

horizontally into the downstream side of a cypress tree on the left 

bank, about 120 feet above the bridge; elevation, 8.00 feet. Elevations refer to datum of gage.

WATER POWER IN ALTAMAHA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

In the foregoing lists of water-surface elevations a complete statement of the fall and its distribution is given. The various points at 

which the surface elevations are shown are located by continued distances and reference to describable objects along the river. Records 

of the discharge at several hydrographic stations have been given, 

from which estimates of flow can be made for any point. To these 

is added a brief statement regarding the powers already developed, 

and some of the proposed grouping of the various shoals into proposed power developments.
ALTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER. 177 

WATER POWERS ON SOUTH RIVER.

From the Southern Railway bridge crossing South River near Constitution down to the head of Albert Shoals, a distance of 20 miles, 

the fall is about 100 feet. The stream is small, however, and only 

small amounts of power are obtainable. Flake's mill, about 13 

miles from the beginning point, is the first power now utilized. At 

this place the dam is about 6 feet high and the working head, obtained 

by the use of a short canal, is about 11 feet.

At Flat Shoals, about 4 miles farther down the river, a new electric 

plant lias been recently established. At Albert Shoals there is a fall 

of 16 feet in half a mile. This has been partly developed, but is not 

now used.

At Peachstone Shoals, 36 miles from the initial point, the power 

is developed by a low dam and a short canal, utilizing about 10 feet 

head, and operating Zackry's grist and cotton mill.

At Snapping Shoals, 7 miles below, the fall is 20 feet in 300 yards. 

This is partly utilized and operates De Loach's wood-working, 

flouring, and grist mills.

Three miles below is Island Shoals, where the fall is 10 feet in 250 

yards and is partly developed at Haley's flour mill.

WATER POWERS ON OCMULGEE RIVER.

At the junction of Yellow and South rivers is the head of Barnes 

Shoals, where the fall is 9 feet in a short distance. A development 

here would have the additional water from Yellow River. Including the last-mentioned shoal, the fall is 14 feet from Yellow River 

down to Alcovy River.

Below Alcovy River down to the foot of Lloyds Shoals, 1 mile 

above Pittmans Ferry, the fall is 55 feet in a little less than 5 miles. 

The continuous shoals that make up this fall of 55 feet are known 

locally as Dotsons, Barnetts, Barnes, and Capps and Lloyds. The 

most precipitous part of this slope is the lower half, which has a fall 

of 43 feet in 2J miles, and is known as Lloyds, or Capps and Lloyds, 

Shoals. Surveys have been made for a 60-foot development of this 

power, to back water to the foot of Barnes Shoals, near mouth of 

Yellow River, and to raise the water level 5 feet at the mouth of 

Alcovy River. This development can be made with a dam near 

foot of Lloyds Shoals, or as contemplated in the surveys mentioned, 

by a lower dam farther up, and a canal.

Smiths Shoals, extending from below Giles Ferry to Smith's mill, 

has a fall of 12 feet in 1 \ miles. This is partly developed for Smith's 

mill by a low dam and a long, small canal.

The next power below is at Lamar's mill, a large merchant mill for

grinding corn and wheat. The fall here is about 20 feet in 1 mile. 

About 16 feet of the fall is partly developed by a wing dam and a short 

canal. If the dam were extended and raised 4 feet, the head would be 

20 feet, without backing water on the next property above. The last 

three powers mentioned Lloyd's, Smith's, and Lamar's are above 

the Flovilla hydrographic station, located at Lamars Ferry.

The next power is at Juliette, where the fall is 15 feet in one-half 

mile. This is developed by a dam and a short canal, and operates the 

Glover Cotton Mills and the Juliette Milling Company's plant. From 

the tail water below the Glover mill to the mouth of Beaverdam 

Creek, below Holton, a distance of about 18 miles, there is a fall of 

about 60 feet. Macon capitalists have had surveys made for a proposed development of this fall, or a large portion of it.

WATER POWERS OX YELLOW RIVER.

Yello\v River flows in a southeasterly direction, and joins South 

River, forming the Ocmulgee. It contains some valuable power sites, 

both developed and in a natural condition.

One-half mile above its mouth are the Indian Fishery Shoals, 

where there is a fall of 12 feet in about 200 feet. The river is here 

about 300 feet wide. A gristmill and a cotton gin in operation use 

perhaps nine-tenths of the available power.

For 13 miles above, the river runs between high banks, alternating 

with low bottoms without any marked shoals (except at Lees, where 

there is a fall of 2J feet) to Langdons Shoals. The total fall in this 

13 miles is 23 feet. Langdons Shoals has a 4-foot fall.

Three miles above, at Porterdale, is the finest power site on the 

river, where .extensive developments have been made by the Bibb 

Manufacturing Company, which has a large cotton and twine factory 

at this point. Here there is a fall of 67 feet in one-half mile, with a 

12-foot dam at the upper end of the shoal. The banks at the foot 

are very high, but gradually lower, until just above the dam large 

bottoms begin and continue for 5 miles. The water is backed up as 

far as the mouth of Hurricane Creek, 5 miles above.

The next power, McDaniels Shoals, has a 7-foot fall in a very short 

distance, and there is now a 6-foot dam operating a gristmill. At 

Milstead, Ga., 4J miles above, there is a fall of 45 feet in one-half 

mile. This power has recently been developed and is used to operate 

a large cotton mill.

Eleven miles above is Annistown Shoals, with a 25-foot fall below 

the 11-foot dam, which formerly supplied storage for power used to 

operate a cotton mill. The banks here are all hard, unseamed rock, 

and the site could be developed into valuable property. Two and 

one-half miles above are some shoals with a 14-foot fall in half a mile.
ALTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER. 179

Above this point the river flows through a very rough country, having a fall of about 36 feet in 6 miles, but passing no important shoals 

until the next power is reached at Yellow River, Ga., the end of the 

survey. Here is a dam 7.3 feet high, which operates the Simon roller 

mills.

WATER POWERS OX ALCOVY RIVER.

From the mouth of Alcovy River up to the foot of Whites Shoals, 

a distance of 9 miles, the fall is 25 feet. Whites Shoals and Newton 

Factory Shoals form one continuous series, with a fall of S3 feet in 1 

mile. Here the river is in a gorge 300 feet wide, with banks over 100 

feet high in several places. Near the middle of this shoal is an excellent site for a dam, from which a canal about one-half mile long 

would be required. At the upper end of the shoals is another good 

site for a dam, which would have a much greater storage basin, as 

just above the gorge widens a great deal and a large volume of water 

could be stored through the dry season. This development would 

require a canal for the entire length of the shoals. An old corn mill 

is in operation at this point, using a small wooden dam to divert the 

water into its flumes. Many years ago a large cotton factory stood 

on this site, but was burned and never rebuilt.

Six miles above these shoals are Hendersoii Shoals, with a fall of 2 

feet. To obtain power for a gristmill, a 6-foot dam lias been erected, 

the backwater from which extends to Dabneys Bridge, 4 miles above.

WATER POWERS ON TOWALIGA RIVER.

Towaliga River flows in a southeasterly direction and empties into 

Ocmulgee River. From its mouth up to the foot of High Falls, a 

distance of 21 miles, the fall is about 100 feet. The stream is narrow 

and swift, but has no marked shoals in this portion nor any favorable 

power sites. At High Shoals there is a fall of 95 feet in a distance of 

1,000 yards, in the middle of which there is a sudden drop of 42 feet, 

known as High Falls. This is an excellent power site, for, although 

the low-water flow is small, there is a good basin above for storage. 

This power has been recently developed and an electric plant installed.

WATER POWERS ON OCONEE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES.

At Milledgeville a large mill for grinding wheat and corn is operated 

by water power, the development for which is a low dam across 

Oconee River and a canal along the west bank about one-half mile 

long.

At the foot of Furmans Shoals, about 4 miles above Milledgeville, 

begins a very fine water power. The fall here is 41 feet up to the
180 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

mouth of Little River, 7 miles above, about 30 feet of the fall being 

in half the distance, intensive surveys for the development of the 

power have been made, and more recently it is proposed to develop 

about 50 feet of head, backing water above the mouth of Little 

River.

From the mouth of Little River to the foot of Laurens Shoals, 

a distance of 10 miles, the fall is 50 feet, and L almost uniformly 

distributed.

At Laurens Shoals the fall is 81 feet in 3^ miles. Immediately 

above, at Rileys or Methodist Fishery Shoals, the fall is 30 feet in 

three-fourths mile, and continuing up the liver, the fall is 15 feet in 

the next 1^ miles, to top of Long Shoals.

The last three shoals have a total fall of 77 feet from the foot of 

Laurens Shoals to the head of Long Shoals, a distance of 6^ miles.

At Park's mill, 31 miles below the mouth of Apalachee River, the 

working head is 10 feet, developed by a dam of that height. In the 

22 miles above Park's mill to foot of Scull Shoals the fall is only 

25 feet. At Scull Shoals the fall is about U feet in several miles 

length.

At Barnetts Shoals there is n iine water power, the fall being 51 

feet in a distance of 2^ inilc^. About 3 miles above is the junction of 

North Oconee and Middle Oconcc rivers. On each of these streams 

there are several developed water powers in the vicinity of Athens.

APALAOHIOOLA DRAINAGE BASTX, DESCRIPTION. 181

APALACIIICOLA RIVEH UEA1XAGK BASIN.

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN.

The rivers flowing into the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico 

are for the most part similar in character to those in the Southern 

Atlantic drainage, though in their lower courses their flow is usually 

more sluggish.

Apalachicola River is formed by the union of Flint and Chattahoochee rivers at the Georgia-Florida line and flows in a southerly 

direction through Florida to the Gulf of Mexico. It is navigable, and 

boats run up Flint River to Albany and up the Chattahoochee River 

to Columbus.

Flint River rises a few miles south of Atlanta, in Fulton County, 

and flows in a southerly direction to Talbot County, southeasterly to 

Macon County, southerly to Worth County, and southwesterly to 

Apalachicola River. It drains the south-central portion of Georgia, 

extending from Atlanta south to the Florida line. Its tributaries are 

mainly large creeks with much fall. The principal ones among these 

are Whitewater, Redoak, Big Potato, Muckalee, Kinchafoonee, 

Ichawaynochaway, and Spring creeks.

Flint River has many good water powers on its course. Between 

Woodbury and Knoxville, Crawford County, a distance of about 45 

miles, the river falls 334 feet. Very little of its power is yet developed.

Chattahoochee River rises in the Blue Ridge, in White County, and 

flows in a southwesterly direction until it reaches the Alabama line 

at the southwest corner of Troup County. From there it flows in a 

southerly direction, forming the western boundary of Georgia, until 

it flows into Apalachicola River at the southern boundary of the 

State. It drains almost all of the north-central, middle-west, and 

southwest portions of Georgia, and -has a drainage area of 4,900 

square miles at Columbus, which is at the fall line.

Soque River joins the Chattahoochee on the western edge of Habershain County. This river rises in Habersham County and flows in a 

southwesterly direction. It has considerable fall, dropping as much 

as 40 feet within a few hundred feet.

Farther down the Chattahoochee, at the west boundary of Hall 

County, Chestatee River enters. It rises in Lumpkin County and 

flows in a southerly direction through a very hilly and steep country 

and has much fall all along its course.

From its source down to Columbus the Chattahoochee River is an 

excellent water-power stream. From the lower edge of Lumpkin 

County down to Columbus, Ga., there is a fall of over 850 feet, 366 

feet of this fall being between West Point and Columbus. All along 

its course there are many small tributaries flowing from a high, hilly 

country. These have much fall, and many small water powers are 

available.

STREAM FLOW. 

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR CORNELIA.

This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located 

at Duncan Bridge, about 7 miles northwest of Cornelia, Ga., and 1 mile 

below the mouth of Soque River. Discharge measurements are made 

from the downstream side of the inclosed wooden highway bridge, the 

meter being lowered through holes cut in the floor or by raising a plank. 

The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the left bank, 

downstream side. The channel is curved for about 500 feet above and 

straight for about 800 feet below the station. The current is moderate. The right bank is clean, and overflows for about 200 feet. The 

left bank is high, rocky, wooded, and does not overflow. The bed of 

the stream is composed of rock at the left and silt at the right bank, free 

from vegetation, and shifting. There is but one channel at all stages, 

broken by the piers of the bridge. A fish-trap dam about 800 feet 

below the bridge will probably affect the rating at this station. The 

bench mark is the top of downstream stringer at a point 59 feet from 

the left end of the bridge; elevation, 21.00 feet above datum.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR GAINESVILLE.

This station was established on June 20, 1901, 3 A- miles northwest 

of Gainesville, at Thompson's bridge and was discontinued December 

31, 1903.

The channel is slightly curved for 1,000 feet above and below the 

station. The bed is of sand and is very changeable. The bridge 

from which discharge measurements were made is a three-span wooden 

structure supported on stone piers. At low water nearly the whole of 

the river flows through the center span, which is 100 feet long. It is 

entirely housed in, but holes are cut in the floor along the upstream 

side at intervals of 12 feet, through which the meter can be lowered 

for gaging. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge 

on the left-bank upstream side.

The gage as originally established was a 15-foot vertical rod, on the 

right bank about 50 feet below the bridge. A standard chain.gage is 

attached to a beam on the upstream side of the bridge about 160 feet 

from the initial point for soundings; length of the chain from the end

to marker, 34.68 feet. The observer was Jack Elrod. Bench mark 

No. 1 is the top of the downstream wooden stringer supporting the 

bridge floor, about 2 feet to the left of the first stone pier on the left 

bank; elevation, 31.00 feet above gage datum. Bench mark No. 2 is 

a copper plug set in solid rock on the hill about 50 feet from the river 

and 115 feet downstream from the bridge on the right bank; elevation, 42.73 feet above gage datum.

CHATTAIIOOCHEE RIVER NEAR NORCROSS.

This station was established June 10, 1902, by M. R. Hall. It is 

located at Medlock's toll bridge, about 4?T miles north of Norcross. 

This point is above the mouth of Johns Creek and below the mouth 

of Suwanee Creek.

The channel is slightly curved for 600 feet above and 700 feet below 

the station. The current is sluggish at low stages, but not excessively so, and the discharge measurements are considered good at the 

lowest stage. The right bank is high and will overflow only for 50 

feet from the water's edge; the left bank will overflow for about 800 

feet at a gage height of from 16 to 18 feet. The bed of the stream is 

sandy and probably changes.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 

the single-span bridge and its approaches. The initial point for 

soundings is 50 feet to the right of the center of the downstream 

tubular pier on the right bank.

The original gage was a vertical staff attached to an oak tree on 

the right bank 100 feet above the bridge. A chain gage, established 

March 14, 1903, was read in connection with the vertical gage until
188 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

June 28, 1905, when a standard chain gage was attached to the 

downstream, lower chord of the first panel from the right bank; 

length of chain, 30.36 feet. The gage is read twice each day by 

W. O. Medlock. The bench mark is the top of the iron pier on the 

right bank, downstream side; elevation, 27.00 feet.

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 191 

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER, NEAR VLNTNUS.

This station was established in 1905 at a new iron highway bridge 1 

mile east of Vinings and about 10 miles northwest of Atlanta. It is 

about 10 miles below the developed power at Bull Sluice.

The current of the section is fairly good and regular. The bed is 

probably somewhat shifting, but there is a stretch of swift water 

immediately below, running among permanent rocks which will probably control the water level at the station. The left bank is high and 

will not overflow; the right bank is only about 20 feet above low water 

for a width of 900 feet and will overflow during very high floods.

Discharge measurements are made from a bridge of two 140-foot 

spans, with 50 feet of wooden approach at the left bank and 100 feet at 

the right bank.

No gage has been established. The effect of the water power above 

being to cause a great amount of fluctuation in the flow, the mean 

daily gage height can be obtained only by the use of an automatic 

recording gage, and until this is installed the measurements are 

made mainly as investigations relative to the accuracy of the rating in 

case the original Chattahoochee Eiver station, which was located at 

Oakdale, 4 miles below, should be continued at this place. Gage 

heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top 

of the upstream end of the second floor beam from the left bank; elevation, 31.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER AT OAKDALE.

This station was established at Oakdale on October 17, 1895, by 

Cyrus C. Babb. It is located at the Southern Railway bridge, 1 mile 

above the mouth of Proctor Creek, 2 miles below the mouth of Peachtree Creek, one-fourth mile west of Chattahoochee, 1 mile east of Oakdale, and 8 miles northwest of Atlanta. The flow is obstructed by 

rafts, which have to be cleared from the channel occasionally. The 

channel is straight and the current swift. The banks are subject to 

overflow. The bed of the stream is constant, and the results are 

fairly good except at high stages, when the water flows through the 

trestlework.
192 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

Discharge measurements were made from the railway bridge, the 

initial point for soundings being the end of the iron bridge on the right 

bank, upstream side.

On July 1, 1898, the location of the station was changed to Mason 

and Turners Ferry, 1 mile below Oakdale. The gage at this point, 

known as the "Oakdale lower gage," is nailed to a tree on the right 

bank, 100 feet below the ferry, and set 1 foot lower than the gage at the 

Southern Railway bridge. On June 1, 1899, the lower gage was discontinued and the upper gage resumed and adopted by the United 

States Weather Bureau, the United States Geological Survey still 

receiving the records and making the current-meter discharge measurements at this point. The gage now used is in two sections, the first, 

reading from zero to 8 feet, fastened to a willow tree 100 feet above the 

bridge on the left bank; the second, reading from 8 to 26 feet, fastened 

to an ash tree 30 feet above the bridge on the left bank. It is set on 

the same datum as the old wire gage of the United States Geological 

Survey established at that point by Mr. Babb in 1895, and above 

referred to. Its zero point is 753.5 feet above sea level. The observer 

was J. B. Austin.

Bench mark Xo. 2 is ; ( large bridge spike in a sycamore tree about 50 

feet above the bridge on the left bank; elevation, 11.00 feet above the 

zero of the guge. Bench mark Xo. 3, determined by measuring down 

to the water, is the top of the iron girder, 40 feet from the initial point 

for soundings, on the upstream side of the bridge; elevation, 57.55 feet 

above the zero of the gage.

The station was discontinued by the Weather Bureau on Xovember 

30, 1904, but the single daily readings for several months before that 

time are not considered reliable as representing the flow of the river, on 

account of the operation of a large water-power plant above. Only 

the records for the first five months of that year are used.

The station was reestablished in 1905 at a new iron highway bridge 

just below the old Mason and Turners Ferry, where the Oakdale 

"lower gage" was maintained as a regular station during parts of the 

years 1898 and 1899. It is 1^ miles below the Southern Railway 

bridge where the Oakdale station was located.

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two 130-foot 

spans, with 300 feet of wooden approach at the right bank and 730 feet 

at the left. At high floods both banks will overflow to the extent of 

the bridge approaches, but can not get beyond at either end. The 

current is mostly swift and is irregular at places.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, wluch is 

the top of the downstream end of the second floor beam from the right 

bank; elevation, 35.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

" Estimates revised above gag; 1 height 14.0 feet on the basis of the 190%4 rating curve. 

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER AT WEST POINT.

This station was established July 30, 1896, by M. R. Hali, and the 

gage is now maintained by the United States Weather Bureau. It 

is located at the Montgomery street wagon bridge.

The channel is straight for about 2,000 feet above and 3,000 feet 

below the station. The current has a fair velocity, except at low 

stages. The right bank is high and overflows only at high water, 

when most of the town is covered. The left bank is somewhat lower 

and overflows for about 800 feet at a gage height of 20 feet. The 

bed of the stream is of sand and gravel and is unstable

The bridge from which discharge measurements are made is in 

three spans, with short approaches from each end. The floor of the 

bridge is about 2-1 feet above low water. The initial point for sound-
APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 203

ings is the end of the hand rail on the right bank, downstream side 

of the bridge. A standard chain gage is fastened to the outside of 

the iron railing of the downstream footway at a point 122 feet from 

the initial point for soundings; length of chain, 29.26 feet. Bench 

marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the downstream 

end of the second iron noor beam under the bridge floor from the 

right-bank end of the bridge; elevation; 24.IP feet. (2) The top of 

the thirty-eighth milepost on the Franklin and West Point survey of 

the United States Engineers. This post is a cast-iron cap 6 inches 

square, set in concrete, approximately on a level with the ground, 

and marked "1". 8. 3S." A raised point in the center of the cap is 

the bench mark; elevation, 15.68 feet. The location of this post is 

on the right bank of the river, 340 feet upstream from the wagon 

bridge and 50 feet from the edge of the river and 60 feet south of 

the Episcopal Church.

SOQTJE RIVER NEAR DEMUREST.

This station was established July 16, 1904, by M. K. Hall. It is 

located at Cannon Bridge, on the road from Cornelia to Acorn, 2i 

miles from Demorest and about 4 miles above the mouth of the river.

The channel is curved for 500 feet above and slightly curved for 

500 feet below the station. The current is swift. Both banks are 

high and wooded; the right overflows during extreme high water. 

The bed of the stream is composed largely of rock and is permanent. 

There is but one channel at all stages. Discharge measurements are 

made from the single-span wooden wagon bridge, which has a 28-foot 

approach on the left bank and a 90-foot approach on the right bank. 

The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge on the upstream 

side at the left bank.

The gage is in two sections: The first is a vertical staff, reading 

from 0 to 10 feet, fastened to the sill and upstream post of the trestle 

bent at the left bank. An additional section, established September 12, 1905, is a vertical staff, reading from 0.7 foot to 6 feet, 

fastened to the stump of an ironwood tree on the right bank about 

20 feet above the bridge. The gage is read once each day by Charles 

Cannon. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of 

the upstream end of the right-bank wooden pier, marked with white 

paint; elevation, 21.20 feet. (2) A nail in the stump of the iron-- 

wood tree to which the second section of the gage is attached; elevation, 6.00 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

SWEETWATER CREEK NEAR AUSTELL. 0

This station was established May 6, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is 

located at the south side of Lithia Springs Park, near Austell.

The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and 200 feet below 

the gage. The current is sluggish above the gage; below it is swift for 

about 50 feet at several places, with sluggish water between. Both 

banks are high and wooded, the right being composed of rock, and are 

not liable to overflow. There is but one channel at all stages. Discharge measurements are made from a boat at low and ordinary

a No monthly estimates have been attempted for this station on account of the erratic plotting of 

the discharge measurements.

stages about 400 yards below the gage. High-water measurements 

are made from Strickland's wagon bridge, 1£ miles down stream.

The gage is in two sections: The first is an inclined staff, reading to 

8 feet, fastened to solid rock on the right bank; the second is a vertical staff, reading from S to 10 feet, fastened to a maple tree on the 

right bank about 100 feet upstream. The gage is read twice each day 

by J. L. Cause}". Bench marks are: (1) A nail in a small maple on 

the right bank about 200 feet below the gage; elevation, 5.00 feet. 

(2) A cross cut on a large rock about 10 feet south of the sloping section of the gage; elevation, 10.00 feet. Elevations refer to the datum 

of the gage.

MULBERRY CREEK NEAR COLUMBUS.

This station was established June 23, 1904, by W. E. Hall. It is 

located at Mitchells Bridge, about 16 miles north of Columbus and 

12 miles south of Hamilton. Mulberry Creek is a tributary of Chattahooehee Kiver, entering it about 6 miles west of the station.

The channel is straight for about 50 feet above and 200 feet below 

the bridge. The current is rather sluggish above and swift below 

the station. Both banks are high and not liable to overflow; the 

right is clean; the left is wooded and covered with brush. The bed 

of the stream is composed of rock and sand, with but one channel at 

all stages, broken by one wooden pier. The bottom is very uneven, 

causing the current to change direction during low water. Discharge 

measurements are made from the downstream side of the two-span 

highway bridge, resting upon stone abutments and center wooden 

pile bent. The initial point for soundings is the left end of the bridgeon the downstream side.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which 

is the top of the downstream end of the wooden cap of center pile 

bent; elevation, 32.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

FLINT RIVER AT MOLINA.

In May, 1897, a station was established on Flint River at the bridge 

of the Georgia Midland division of the Southern Railway, about halfway from Atlanta to Columbus. The alternate filling and washing 

out of sand in an eddy about one-half mile below the station so 

affected the stream that the fluctuations shown by the gage had no 

fixed relation to the quantity of water flowing in the river. After 

this fact developed the station was abandoned and reestablished near 

Woodbury, at the Macon and Birmingham railroad bridge, about 3 

miles lower down the river.

The following discharge measurements were made at the Molina 

station before it was abandoned. They are accurate, and as they 

are nearly distributed over a period of one year from May, 1897, to 

May, 1898 they give a fair idea of the flow of the stream during that 

time. Measurement No. 5 shows the lowest discharge and is undoubtedly very near the minimum of this stream for 1897.

FLINT RIVER NEAR WOODBURY.

Measurements of the flow of Flint River were made during 1897 

and 1898 at Molina, but the river bed was so shifting that the 

station was discontinued June 2, 1898. Two measurements were 

made in 1899 at the Macon and Birmingham Railroad bridge near 

Woodbury, 5 miles below the Molina station. March 29, 1900, a 

gage was put in near this bridge and the station was reestablished.

The channel above and below the station is slightly curved for 

800 feet. Above gage height 10 feet the banks are subject to overflow for a width of 300 or 400 feet, but all water passes beneath the 

bridge and its approaches. The bridge and its piers are oblique to
APALACHTCOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STEEAM FLOW. 217

the direction of the current, and the bed is rough and irregular and 

mostly permanent.

Discharge measurements are made from the Macoii and Birmingham Railroad bridge. This is a two-span iron bridge, each span being 

150 feet long and supported by brick piers. There are wooden trestle 

approaches about 150 feet long 011 the right bank and 225 feet long 

-on the left. The initial point for soundings is the end of the iron 

bridge on the right bank, downstream side.

The gage is in 5-foot sections; the part reading from zero to 10 feet is 

attached to a willow tree on the left bank about 300 feet above the 

bridge and 50 feet below Riggins's old ferry; the section reading from 

10 to 15 feet is fastened to a sweet-gum tree 50 feet from the left bank 

and 150 feet upstream from the bridge. This gage was maintained by 

the Georgia Geological Survey until November 1, 1900, when it was 

adopted by the United States Weather Bureau. The observer is 

G. A. Wright, who is paid by the Weather Bureau. Bench marks 

were established as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the 

second and third crossbeams from the left-bank end of the bridge; 

elevation, 27.00 feet; (2) a copper plug set in solid rock on the west 

side of the river about 100 feet from the water and 100 feet upstream 

from a point opposite the gage; elevation, 16.29 feet. Elevations 

refer to the datum of the gage, which is 660 feet above sea level.

a Estimates above gage height 4.1 feet have been revised on the basis of the 1902 rating curve.
APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 223

FLINT RIVER NEAR MONTEZUMA.

This station is located at the iron highway bridge about 1 mile 

west of Montezuma. Some discharge measurements had already 

been made at this point when the United States Weather Bureau 

established a standard chain gage on the bridge, late in 1904. During 1905 the daily gage heights were furnished by the Weather 

Bureau.

The channel is slightly curved above and below the station, which 

is near the point of reverse between the curves. The current is 

moderate. The right bank, which is mostly covered with a dense 

growth of brush, will overflow for a great distance at about 12 feet 

above low water; the left bank is not apt to overflow. The bed is 

sandy and probably shifting and the current is slow at low stage, 

especially near the left bank.

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two 100-foot 

spans, with a short trestle approach on the left bank and a very long 

one across the marshy ground on the right bank. The initial point 

for soundings is the end of the left-bank approach, downstream side.

The gage is located on the upstream side of the right span of the 

bridge near the middle pier. The bench mark is the top of the upstream tubular pier at the middle of the bridge; elevation, 28.00 feet

FLINT RIVER AT ALBANY.

This station was originally established by the United States 

Weather Bureau April 10, 1893, and has been maintained from that 

date to the present. Discharge measurements by the Geological Survey were begun at this station in 1901, and the gage-height records 

furnished by the Weather Bureau have been used, except for a portion 

of the year 1903. The present observer, D. W. Brosnan, is paid by 

the Weather Bureau.

The channel above the station is straight for about 1,000 feet and 

is rough. Below the station the channel is straight for 700 feet. The 

river overflows both banks, but only under the approaches to the 

bridge. The bed is constant, but rough, and the current is irregular.

Discharge measurements are made from the Atlantic Coast Line 

two-span railroad bridge, which is 325 feet long, with 475 feet of trestle 

approach on the right bank and 240 feet on the left bank. The initial 

point for soundings is the center of the tubular iron pier on the 

upstream side of the bridge on the left bank.

The gage was washed out and replaced in 1898. It-was again injured 

in 1902, and was replaced by a new gage June 17, 1902. The new gage 

was set 0.75 foot lower than the old gage as it existed prior to June 17,
APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 225

1902. The gage heights were corrected from January 1 to June 17, 

1902, inclusive, to correspond with the new gage. The Weather 

Bureau gage is attached to the Dougherty County Bridge, located 

about 700 feet below the Atlantic Coast Line bridge. It is in three 

sections. No. 1 is attached to the crib around the middle piers and 

extends to 4 feet above zero; No. 2 is spiked to a green cypress tree 

just above the bridge on the west bank of the river, and reads from 2 

to 17 feet; No. 3 is spiked to a cedar post 16 feet high. This section 

begins at 17 feet and reads to 32 feet, which is 2t feet above any high 

water known since 1840.

A standard chain gage belonging to the United States Geological 

Survey was installed April 20, 1904. It is fastened to the hand railing of the downstream footway of the Dougherty County Bridge near 

the middle of the west span. The gage was accurately set to correspond with the bench marks previously established, and its readings 

agree with the standard portion of the Weather Bureau gage. The 

bottom of the box is 45.34 feet above the zero of the gage, and the 

length of the chain is 47.34 feet.

Bench marks were established as follows: (1) A copper plug set in 

the downstream corner of the brick abutment on the right bank under 

the Dougherty County Bridge; elevation 33.81 feet. (2) The top of 

the first crossbeam from the right bank, upstream end of the railroad 

bridge; elevation, 43.20 feet.

BIG POTATO CREEK NEAR, THOMASTON.

This station was established in 1904. It is located at the highway 

bridge about 5 miles southwest of Thomaston, 200 yards above 

Daniel's old gristmill.

The channel is curved for about 200 feet above and straight for 300 

feet below the station. The current is fairly swift, except at very low 

stages. Both banks are subject to occasional overflow. The bed of
230 WATER EESOUECES OF GEORGIA.

the stream is composed of rock and gravel, free from vegetation, and 

probably constant. There is but one channel at all stages, broken 

during the higher water by the piers of the bridge. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the single-span iron 

bridge, which has trestle approaches of about 100 feet at each end. 

The initial point for soundings is the left end of the bridge on the 

downstream side.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench marks, which 

are as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the first floor 

beam from the left bank; elevation, 23.00 feet. (2) A chisel mark on 

the intermediate post at the downstream end of the second floor beam; 

elevation, 28.00 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the assumed 

gage.

MUCKALEE CREEK NEAR LEESBTJRG.

This station was established in 1905 in connection with the regular 

station on Kinchafoonee Creek. It is located about 3 miles east of 

Leesburg, at a wooden highway bridge consisting of two truss spans, 

with trestle approaches of about 50 feet on each side.

The current is slow at low water. The right bank will overflow at 

moderately high water for a long distance. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the upstream 

end of the wooden cap of the middle bent of the bridge; elevation, 

17.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

ML.CKALEE CREEK NEAR ALBANY.

This station was established March 9, 1903, as a temporary station, 

by F. A. Murray, and was discontinued December 31, 1903. It was 

located at a wagon bridge 3 miles north of Alban}^, and a short 

distance below the mouth of Kinchafoonee Creek.
APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 231

The channel was straight for 300 feet above the station and for 200 

feet below, and the current was regular and of moderate velocity. 

Both banks wTere high and did not overflow. The bed was rocky and 

probably permanent, the river flowing in one channel at all stages. 

Backwater from the Flint River affected the discharge at high stages. 

Discharge measurements were made from the single-span highway 

bridge and its approaches. During 1905 the station \vas deeply covered with water by a large water-power development just below.

KINCHAFOONEE CREEK NEAR LEESBURG.

This station was established August 30, 1905, by F. A.Murray. It 

is located at the iron highway bridge 1 mile east of Leesburg, Ga.

The channel is nearly straight for about 400 feet above and below 

the station, and the current is mostly swift. The right bank is lower 

than the bridge and will probably overflow at times around the end 

of the bridge approach; the left bank will not overflow. The bed 

of the stream is sandy, and the current is good, except for a small 

amount of sluggish water at the left bank.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 

single-span bridge. The initial point for soundings is the left end of 

the bridge.

The present gage is a temporary vertical rod, intended for lowwater observations, which is attached to a cypress tree at the right 

.edge of the water 150 feet above the bridge. It is read by J. M. 

Johnson. The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the 

second floor beam from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 23.00 

feet above the datum of the gage.

KINCHAFOONEE CREEK NEAR ALBANY.

This station was established as a temporary station March 9, 1903, 

by F. A. Murray, and was discontinued December 31, 1903. It was 

located at the wagon bridge 3 miles north of Albany, Ga. ; 200 feet 

below the Central of Georgia Railroad bridge and about one-half 

mile above the mouth of the creek.

The channel is curved both above and below the station. Both 

banks are high and all water passes beneath the bridge and its 

approaches. The bed is probably somewhat shifting.

Discharge measurements were made from the single-span highway 

bridge and its approaches, which cross the river at an angle to the 

direction of the current.

During 1905 the station was deeply covered with water by a large 

water-power development just below.

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 235

ICHAWAYNOCHAWAY CREEK AT MILFORD.

This station was established August 29, 1905, by F. A. Murray. It 

is located at the wagon bridge at Milford, 9 miles east of Leary, the 

railway point from which it is reached.

The channel is straight for 800 feet above and below the bridge. 

The current is moderately swift and is smooth except where it is broken 

by the bridge bents. Discharge measurements are made from the 

downstream side of the bridge, an old wooden structure supported by 

bents, six of which are in the water at ordinary stages. The initial 

point for soundings is the end of the hand rail at the left bank, downstream side.

The present gage is a temporary staff for low-water observations 

attached to the downstream post of the first bent from the left bank. 

It is read once each day by W. J. Kidd. Bench marks are as follows: 

(1) The top of the upstream cap of the first bent from the left bank; 

elevation, 15.00 feet. (2) A nail in a cypress tree at the left edge of 

the water, 30 feet below the bridge; elevation, 10.00 feet. Elevations 

refer to the datum of the gage.

RIVER SURVEYS IN APALACHICOLA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER. a

The elevations along Chattahoochee River are based on the following surveys:

The portion from Columbus to West Point was surveyed in August, 

1902, by W. E. Hall, levelman, under the direction of B. M. Hall, 

United States Geological Survey. The portion from West Point to 

Franklin was surveyed in 1899 by the Corps of Engineers, United 

States Army. The portion from Franklin to Oakdale was surveyed 

in 1903 by Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the direction of Fred A. 

Franck, United States Geological Survey. The elevations along this 

part of the stream are based on an aluminum tablet at the Washington street entrance to the State capitol building at Atlanta, marked 

"1050 M. C." The portion from Oakdale to the mouth of Chestatee 

River was surveyed in 1902 by Felder Furlow, levelman, under the 

direction of B. M. Hall, United States Geological Survey. The elevations between the mouth of Chestatee River and Nacoochee were 

determined in 1903 by Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the direction 

of F. A. Franck, field assistant, United States Geological Survey. 

These elevations are based on an aluminum tablet at Nacoochee, 

marked " 1439 Atlanta", in the ledge of rock 200 feet west of ford of 

Chattahoochee River, the elevation of which is now accepted as 

1,348.259 feet above main sea level. The adjustment of this line was 

accomplished in conjunction with leveling on the Chestatee and Soque 

rivers, tied at Willow and Clarksville, and by an extra check at Pole, 

to primary level circuits, and accords with the 1903 adjustment of the 

precise level net.

In order to give a continuous profile of the river, the levels of these 

several surveys have been adjusted to accord with the elevations 

determined for the portion between Franklin and Oakdale. It is not 

expected, however, that the bench marks of one survey will exactly 

accord with those of another.

a For survey of Chattahoochee River from junction with Flint River to Columbus, Ga., see Report of 

Chief of Engineers, U. S. A., 1872, pp. 584, 623; and Report of Chief of Engineers, U. S. A., 1873, pp. 699-700.

SURVEY OF FLINT RIVER.

In May, 1900, a survey was made of Flint River from the Geological Survey gaging station, about 3 miles east of Woodbury, Ga., on 

the Macon and Birmingham Railroad bridge over the river, to the 

line of the Creek Agency Reserve near Roberta and Knoxville, a 

distance of 45.4 miles downstream. The work was done by Mr. D. L. 

Wardroper, under the supervision of B. M. Hall, resident hydrographer. In this 45 miles the river cuts through Pine Mountain, the 

western coast range of the State, and descends with a total fall of 

334 feet. The elevations are all above sea level, being taken from 

the track of the Atlanta and Columbus line of the Southern Railway, in front of the station at Woodbury, which is 780 feet above 

sea level. From this the zero of the Woodbury River gage was found 

to be 659.63 feet above sea level.

WATER POWER IN APALACHICOLA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER.

In the foregoing lists of water-surface elevations several surveys 

have been put together, so as to give a continuous chain of elevations, 

and, for the main river, the distance of each point noted is given in 

miles above Columbus. Objects along the river are also noted and 

serve to locate and make it possible to identify each point at which 

the surface elevation is given.
254 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

The fall at any point or between any points can therefore be determined, and the amount of water flowing at it can be estimated 

from the records of the hydrographic stations at West Point, Oakdale, Norcross, Buford, and Gainesville, and from miscellaneous 

measurements.

At Columbus is the fall line, and immediately above are located the 

largest falls on the river. Here a large amount of water power has 

been in use for many years.

The developed water powers are: (1) Eagle and Phoenix dam, 

operating the Eagle and Phoenix, and Muscogee mills; fall 26 feet. 

C2) City Mills dam; fall 9 feet. (3) Columbus Power Company's 

dam and tailrace; fall 40 feet. The last mentioned was completed 

in 1902. The stone dam is located above the foot of the shoals, a 

considerable portion of the head being obtained by excavating for the 

tail-water. Water is backed three-fourths mile above the dam, and 

reaches the foot of a very fine shoal, the Chattahoochee Falls Company's property, where there is a fall of 40 feet in little more than 1 

mile. The old Clapp factory was located on this property and the 

power was supplied by a wing dam, about half of the fall being used. 

The present owners of the property have secured water rights along 

the river above, which will enable them to develop a much higher 

head and will also give a larger storage. The fall from the upper line 

of the original property to foot of shoals on Ogle tree's land is 21 feet 

in 7 miles. From this point up to the lower end of Hargetts Island,

10 miles above, the fall is 150 feet.

Along this portion of the river the banks are high and rocky. The 

river is mostly wide and full of islands, but at several places the 

banks come close together, affording excellent sites for high dams, 

in some cases not more than 600 feet long.

In the 7 miles from Hargetts Island to the foot of Riverview dam 

the fall is 42 feet. At the Riverview mills and Langdale mills there 

are developed powers, each using 10 or 12 feet of fall.

Above the Langdale mills up to West Point the amount of fall is 

small. Between West Point and Franklin the fall is 75 feet in 38 

miles, averaging about 2 feet a mile. The fall is not uniformly dis-. 

tributed, however, and it is probable that some really good power 

developments could be made.

At Franklin, where there is an excellent site for a dam, extensive 

surveys have been made for one 32 feet high, which would back 

water 8| miles, to the head of Fishtrap Shoals. This proposed development includes Bushyhead Shoals and several others not so large.

From here to the foot of Mclntosh Shoals the fall is only 11 feet in

11 miles. At Mclntosh Shoals there is a fall of 8 feet in one-half mile.

Above this shoal up to the mouth of Peachtree Creek, above

Atlanta, the fall is 66 feet in 47 miles. Three miles above is the dam
APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER. 255

site of a proposed development of 32 feet, for which complete surveys 

have been made.

At Bull Sluice, 4 miles below Roswell, is the new electric power 

plant of the Atlanta Water Power and Electric Company. The dam 

is a massive concrete structure, 48 feet high, which with the 2-foot 

flashboards, gives a head of 50 feet. This plant is fully equipped 

with the most modern type of water wheels and electric generators. 

The combined capacity of the water wheels is greatly in excess of the 

normal low-water flow of the river, thus providing for a large increase 

of power from stored water, and at times when the flow of the river 

is increased. The power is all transmitted electrically to Atlanta. 

Backwater from this dam, when flashboards are used, reaches a point 

just under the wagon bridge at Roswell.

In the 26 miles above Roswell, reaching to Bowmans Island, near 

Buford, there is a fall of about 57 feet, the drop being as much as 5 or 6 

feet to the mile in a few places. At Bowmans Island is a proposed 

site for a 50-foot dam to back water 14 miles up to mouth of Chestatee 

River.

From the mouth of Chestatee River, up to the mouth of Little 

River, there are a number of small shoals aggregating 28 feet of fall. 

Beginning a short distance above Little River is a series of shoals, 

which has recently been developed by the North Georgia Electric 

Company. The dam of this plant is located a quarter of a mile 

above the foot of the shoals, leaving about 7 feet of the fall undeveloped. It is a log crib structure entirely filled with rock and is 36 feet 

high. The power is transmitted electrically from the plant. Backwater extends 8 miles, to above Clarks Bridge. In the next 11 miles, 

up to Belton, the fall is about 30 feet and includes several shoals 

and some good sites for dams.

In the next 9 miles, extending to mouth of Soque River, the fall is 

81 feet, including Harrisons Shoals, Perkins Shoals, and a series of 

shoals above and below Duncans Bridge, the latter series having a fall 

of 20 feet in 1J miles.

Above the mouth of the Soque River is a series of shoals, with a 

total fall of 106 feet in 4| miles. Along this part of the river the 

banks are steep and rocky, and there are numerous good dam sites.

WATER POWERS ON SOQUE RIVER.

In SIT miles above the mouth of the river the fall is 30 feet, including 

several small shoals. One mile downstream from Porter Mills there 

is an undeveloped fall of 6 feet in about 50 yards, with 7 feet of fall 

above, to the foot of Porter Shoals. At Porter Mills is the Porter 

Shoals, an almost vertical drop of 48 feet and by far the best waterfall 

on the river. This is partly developed by a small wing dam, the
256 WATEK KESOURCES OF GEOKGIA.

power being used to operate Porter's woolen and cotton factory, 4 

miles from Demorest, the nearest railroad point.

About 500 feet upstream is Porters Upper Shoal, with a 15-foot 

fall, also partly developed by a small dam, and supplying power for 

factory No. 2 of the same company. A much greater head could be 

obtained here by increasing the height of the dam. One and one-half 

miles above Porter Mills is a good water-power site, known as the Old 

Factory Shoals, where there is a fall of 23 feet in a distance of 600 feet. 

This was utilized at one time, but all signs of the dam have vanished.

WATER POWERS ON CHESTATEE RIVER.

From the mouth of the river up to the foot of the North Georgia 

Electric Company's dam, at Newbridge, a distance of 17J miles, the 

fall is 83 feet. This includes three small dams and a number of 

undeveloped shoals, but no especially favorable sites for large powers.

The North Georgia Electric Company's dam is 27 feet high, and is 

made of log cribs filled with rock, and backs water about 3J miles. 

Above this dam there is a large amount of fall and many good power 

sites, some of which are developed and used to operate machinery 

connected with gold mining. Most of the undeveloped powers are 

owned or controlled by various mining companies.

WATER POWERS ON FLINT RIVER.

The country rock in the Flint River basin over the range of the 

preceding elevations is vitrified sandstone or quartzite, forming fine 

bluffs and occasional narrow gorges suitable for dam sites. It is 

easily quarried, and comes out in square blocks that are excellent for 

building dams.

The first shoals, known as the Dripping Rock Shoals, begin near the 

mouth of Cane Creek, about 3,000 feet below the bridge, and fall 23.7 

feet in about 2 miles. In the next 2 miles, or to a point about 1 mile 

below the mouth of Pigeon Creek, the river falls only 6 feet. Then 

shoals begin which have a practically uniform fall of 10.5 feet per mile 

for a distance of 8^ miles, or to Double Bridges (Gibson's old ferry), 

the total fall in that distance being 90 feet. From that point to the 

north-boundary of the twenty-third land district the fall is 20 feet in 

a distance of 4,700 feet. In the next 3 miles, or to the head of the 

Yellow Jacket Shoals, there is a total fall of 22 feet.

The Yellow Jacket Shoals are the finest on the river. They are 

below Pigeon Creek and above Lazer Creek (sometimes called Eliza 

Creek), near Rowland, in Upson County, about midway between Talbotton and Thomaston, in the heart of the cotton belt of Georgia. 

They have a fall of 65 feet in a distance of 7,900 feet, or 1J miles, all
APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER. 257

of which can be utilized. In fact a much larger head would be available by building a 42-foot dam at the head of the Yellow Jacket Shoals 

and taking the water in a canal to a point opposite the foot of the 

shoals. This would cover a fall of 107 feet, 7 feet of which would be 

sufficient for storage and canal grades, leaving a net working head of 

100 feet. A dam of this height would back the water about 4 miles. 

There would be no trouble from flood water on the wheels, for the 

river is very precipitous below the foot of the Yellow Jacket Shoals, 

having an average fall of 6 feet to the mile in the next 10 miles, the 

most precipitous part being a fall of about 25 feet between Hatchasofkee Creek and Elliotts Ferry, a distance of about 2 miles. Elliotts 

Ferry is between the mouths of Mountain Creek and Deep Gulch 

Creek.

Below Elliotts Ferry the river falls 13 feet in the next 2 miles, or to 

Walkers Ferry, and then assumes a practically uniform grade of 1.7 

feet to the mile for the next 11 miles, or to a point one-half mile below 

the mouth of Auchumkee Creek, in Crawford County, which is at the 

head of small shoals having a fall of 10 feet in a distance of 1 mile. 

This is practically the point where the river crosses the fall line and 

enters the younger geologic formations. The survey ended here.

Along the portion of the river surveyed there are several large tributaries which have fine shoals. The most notable of these is Big 

Potato Creek, near Thomaston, in Upson County, which has three 

shoals near its mouth, surveyed in 1891 by C. C. Anderson, assistant 

State geologist, and reported by him to be as follows: Rogers Shoals, 

81 feet fall in a distance of 3,500 feet; Nelson Shoals, 115 feet fall in 

a distance of 2,700 feet, and Daniels Shoals, 13 feet fall in a distance 

of 150 feet,

About 10 miles above Woodbury there is a fine water power on Flint 

River, 1 mile from Neal, on the Southern Railway. It is known as 

the Flat Shoals and has a fall of 32 feet in a distance of 3,000 feet. 

There is a natural storage basin just above these shoals, where it is 

estimated that a 2-foot dam would store the low-water flow of the 

river for twelve hours, and that a 4-foot dam would store it for thirtyeight hours. This power is not included in the survey described, but 

was surveyed separately by B. M. Hall. It can be developed by a 

canal 3,000 feet long, or by a dam at the foot of the shoals, where there 

is a narrow shut-in.

MOBILE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN.

The drainage basin of the Mobile River is the largest in Georgia and 

Alabama, and is designated the Mobile basin because its waters all 

enter the Gulf through Mobile River at Mobile, Ala. At its headwaters, Cartecay and Ellijay rivers unite at Ellijay to form Coosawattee River, which, just above Resaca, unites with the Conasauga to 

form Oostaiiaula River. At Rome, Ga. ; the Oostanaula and the 

Etowah unite to form Coosa River. Six miles above Montgomery, 

Ala., the Coosa and the Tallapoosa unite to form Alabama River, and 

not far from the coast the Tombigbee unites with the Alabama to form 

Mobile River, which flows into Mobile Bay, an arm of the Gulf of 

Mexico.

Cahaba River is the principal tributary of the Alabama and joins it 

about 10 miles below Selma. Hillabee Creek flows into Tallapoosa 

River just above Sturdevant and near Alexander. Talladega Creek 

is a tributary of the Coosa.

Tombigbee River rises in the northeastern part of Mississippi and 

enters Alabama in Pickens County. Its principal tributary is the 

Black Warrior, which is formed by the junction of Mulberry Fork and 

Sipsey Fork. Locust Fork enters the Black Warrior some distance 

below the junction.

This paper discusses only the gaging stations in the Mobile drainage 

basin which are located in the State of Georgia. For stations located 

in Alabama and Mississippi the reader is referred to Water-Supply 

Paper No. 107, Water Powers of Alabama and Mississippi, and to the 

Reports of Progress of Stream Measurements, published by the 

United States Geological Survey.

STREAM FLOW. 

ETOWAH RIVER NEAR BALLGROUND.

This station was established in 1905. It is located at an iron highway bridge about 2\ miles south of Ballground, and half a mile below 

the mouth of Long Swamp Creek.

The channel is nearly straight for 300 feet above and 600 feet below 

the station, and the current is moderately swift and fairly good for 

measurement. The left bank is high and will not overflow, but the 

right bank is low and cultivated for about 500 feet and will overflow 

at a gage height of about 16 feet above low water. The bed of the 

river is partly rock.

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two iron spans. 

The left span is 110 feet long, and spans the entire river except at

floods. The other span, which is over low ground on the right bank, 

is 100 feet long, and there is also 90 feet of wooded trestle on the right 

bank. Gage heights are determined directly from, the bench mark, 

which is the top of the upstream end of the first floor beam to the left 

of the middle pier; elevation, 28.00 feet above the datum of the 

assumed gage.

ETOWAH RIVER AT CANTON.

This station was established in 1892 by the United States Weather 

Bureau, and it was only in 1896 that measurements were begun by the 

United States Geological Survey. It is located at the wagon bridge in 

Canton, one-half mile above the mouth of Canton Creek and 1,000 feet 

upstream from the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railway station.

The channel is straight for 1,000 feet above and 500 feet below the 

bridge. The current is affected by a fish-trap dam about 1 foot high, 

which has caused much trouble by being occasionally washed away 

and built up again. Up to gage height 3 feet the river is only 116 feet 

wide and flows between the piers on its lower banks. Up to about 14 

feet it is confined between its upper banks, which are the abutments at 

the outer ends of the approaches, but above 14 feet it begins to overflow the bottom lands. The bed is fairly constant.

Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 

iron highway bridge. The initial point for soundings is the river side 

of the right-bank pier at the end of the main span. The gage is a 

heavy vertical timber, fastened to the edge of the left-bank pier, on 

the upstream side. The gage is read once each day by J. M. McAfee, 

who is paid by the United States Weather Bureau for six months of 

the year and by the Georgia Geological Survey for the other six 

months. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) A cut on a 

silver-maple tree on the east side of the road, 20 feet from the end of 

the bridge, on the south or left bank of the river; elevation, 20.36 feet. 

(2) The top of the iron bar on the top of the left-bank pier at the end of 

the center span of the bridge, upstream side; elevation, 23.39 feet. 

Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

ETOWAH RIVER AT ROME.

Measurements were made at this station for several years in connection with the measurement of Coosa River at Rome. Measurements 

were referred to a bench mark on the bridge, and the gage put in 

July 1, 1903, by J. M. Giles was referred to the same bench mark. 

This gage is located at the Second Avenue Bridge in the city of Rome, 

Ga., about 1 mile above the mouth of the river.
MOBILE DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 269

The channel is curved for 1,000 feet above and below the station. 

Both banks are high and overflow only under the approaches to the 

bridge. The bed of the stream is of rock and is permanent, but the 

channel is obstructed by the crib of an old pier foundation in the middle of the river. Discharge measurements have been made from the 

sidewalk on the upstream side of the single-span iron bridge and its 

approaches. The initial point for soundings is the center of the post 

at the end of the iron hand rail on the right bank, upstream side. 

The gage is a vertical timber driven into the bed of the river and 

spiked to a birch tree on the left bank about 50 feet below the bridge. 

The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the third crossbeam from the left bank end of the bridge; elevation, 43.00 feet above 

the zero of the gage. The station was discontinued December 31, 

1903.

ETOWAH RIVER NEAR ROME.

This station was established August 17, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is 

located at Freemans Ferry, about 5 miles above Rome.

The channel is straight for about 3,000 feet above and 1,000 feet 

below the station. The current is swift. There is a small shoal of 

rock about 50 feet below the gaging section. About 1,000 feet below 

there is an old fish-trap dam, but this has not been used for years, and 

is probably constant. Both banks are high, but are subject to overflow during high water. The bed of the stream is composed of small 

rock and pebbles, and is uniform and permanent. There is but one 

channel at all stages, the water being about 2.5 feet deep at low water. 

Discharge measurements are made from a small boat, the meter being 

suspended from the ferry cable. Measurements can be made from 

the bridge at Rome, as no large quantity of water enters the river 

between the ferry and that place. The initial point for soundings is 

the center of the windlass for the ferry cable on the left bank of the 

river.

The original gage, reading from 0 to 7 feet, is attached to a sycamore 

tree at left edge of river, about 250 feet below the ferry. A second 

section, reading from 7 to 20 feet, is attached to a post 10 feet upstream 

from the first section and 10 feet from the edge of the river at low 

water. A third section, reading from 20 to 30 feet, is attached to a 

maple tree opposite the post and 15 feet farther from the waters edge. 

The gage is read once each day by W. A. Gresham, who is paid by the 

Georgia Geological Survey. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) Head of lag screw driven into root of maple, to which gage 

20 to 30 feet is attached; elevation, 19.26 feet. (2) Center mark on 

copper plug set horizontally in brick wall of F. B. Freeman's residence, on east end of house, near northeast corner, just below floor 

level; elevation, 27.99 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the 

gage.

AMICALOLA RIVER NEAR BALLGROUND.

This station was established in 1905. It is located at Hollensheds 

Bridge, one-fourth of a mile above Heard's mill, and about 15 miles 

northeast of Ballground.

Discharge measurements are made from the two-span covered 

bridge, about 150 feet in total length. The meter can be let down 

through the floor at the side of the bridge, but the current here is 

rough and not good for measurements. Some of the measurements 

were made about 40 feet below the bridge. The stream is important, 

and a good section is difficult to find, but it is probable that a better 

place than this will be found.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is 

a point on top of the downstream end of the wooden floor beam, 25 

feet from the left-bank pier; elevation, 17.00 feet above the datum of 

the assumed gage.

LONG SWAMP CREEK NEAR BALLGROUND.

This station was established in 1905. It is located at a wooden 

wagon bridge about 2 miles southeast from Ballground, and half a 

mile above the mouth of the creek, which empties into Etowah 

Kiver.

The current is swift at the station, also above and below it. The 

bed is sandy, and the water is shallow. Measurements are made from 

the downstream side of the wooden bridge of three spans. The middle 

span, which includes all of the creek at all but high stages, is 50 feet 

long, and the two end spans are 35 feet each. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is a nail driven horizontally into the upstream side of a large sycamore tree on the right bank 

about 100 feet below the bridge; elevation, 8.00 feet above the datum 

of the assumed gage.

COOS A RIVER AT ROME.

Coosa River is formed at Rome by the junction of Etowah and 

Oostanaula rivers. Both the tributary rivers rise in the northern part 

of Georgia and flow for the most part through a hilly, broken country, 

well wooded, about one-fourth of the land being under cultivation. 

The channel of the Etowah is straight and the current swift and 

unobstructed, but the Oostanaula is rather sluggish and somewhat 

obstructed by piers. The banks are high and are liable to overflow 

at high stages. The gage is in two sections: The first, 0 to 5 feet, is 

fastened to the downstream left-hand corner of the cofferdam around 

the center pier of the turn span; the second, 5 to 44 feet, is fastened 

to the downstream side of the same pier. The zero of the gage is 576 

feet above sea level.

The measurements at Rome are made on the Oostanaula and the 

Etowah just above their junction. The Etowah is measured at the 

Second Avenue Bridge, and the Oostanaula at the Fifth Avenue 

Bridge in Rome, and the results are added to give the flow of the 

Coosa. The gage height is taken from the United States Weather 

Bureau gage at the Fifth Avenue Bridge on the Oostanaula. There is 

practically no fall on Oostanaula River from the Fifth Avenue Bridge 

to the junction; hence the gage is used as a Coosa River gage, and 

the gage heights are considered as gage heights of Coosa River. The

Weather Bureau established this gage in 1890, but now maintains it 

only from November 1 to April 30; W. M. Towers, the observer, lias, 

however, furnished the Geological Survey with monthly reports of the 

daily gage height for the entire year.

The station was discontinued December 31, 1903, on account of the 

uncertain velocity at low stages of the Oostanaula section.

OOSTANAULA RIVER AT RESACA.

This station is located at the bridge of the Western and Atlantic 

Railway, in the town of Resaca, 800 feet south of the depot. It is a 

United States Weather Bureau station at which the gage readings are 

maintained for half the year only. During the years 1896 to 1898, 

inclusive, the United States Geological Survey maintained the gage for 

the other half of the year, making the gage height record complete,
MOBILE DEAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 281

but for other years only the half-year records of the Weather Bureau 

are available. No estimates of discharge were made from 1901 until 

the beginning of 1905, when the station was reestablished.

The channel is slightly curved, the same curve extending about 300 

feet above and below the bridge. The current is moderate, becoming 

rather sluggish at low water. The right bank is rock at the edge of the 

water, and has a solid stone abutment and railroad embankment above 

high-water level. The left bank is low, cultivated, and overflows during high water 480 feet to the end of the trestle. The bed of the stream 

is composed of rock near the right bank, but other parts appear to be 

sandy; to the left of the pier it is nearly filled up with logs and brush. 

There is one channel, broken by one pier at ordinary water.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 

iron bridge, which consists of three spans of 120 feet each, and 480 feet 

of trestle, approach at the left bank. The left span of the bridge is 

entirely outside of the river, except at high water. Measurements are 

also made from a boat at the ferry about 200 feet above the bridge, 

where the section is somewhat better. The initial point for soundings 

is the end of the bridge at the right bank, downstream side.

Gage heights are observed from the United States Weather Bureau 

gage, which is a heavy timber attached vertically to the downstream 

side of the center pier of the bridge. Bench marks were established as 

follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the second crossbeam 

from the right bank; elevation, 38.94 feet. (2) A cross mark on the 

top of the limestone bowlder on the north side of the river, about 130 

feet from the end of the railroad bridge and 40 feet west of the railroad 

track; elevation, 34.23 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the 

gage.

COOSAWATTEE RIVER AT CARTERS.

This river, which is formed by the junction of Ellijay and Cartecay 

rivers at Ellijay, flows in a southwesterly direction, joining the Conasauga to form the Oostanaula. Its drainage area is for the most part
288 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

mountainous and covered with forest growth. The gaging station was 

established August 15 1896, by M. R. Hall, at the iron highway bridge 

at Carters, Murray Comity, Ga. Carters is at the head of navigation, 

small boats running to Rome, Ga., and the Coosa River below. It is 

at the foot of the great shoals made by this stream in cutting through 

the Cohutta Mountains. The channel is curved for 1,000 feet above 

and 500 feet below the station. The current is swift and broken. Both 

banks are high, but overflow at flood stages. The bed of the stream is 

of gravel and is not liable to change. Discharge measurements are 

made from the single-span highway bridge and its approaches. The 

initial point for soundings is the land side of the pier on the right bank. 

A standard chain gage is attached to the downstream side of the 

bridge in the third panel from the right bank; length of chain, 36.57 

feet. The observer is R. P. Messer, who reads the gage once a day. 

Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the cylindrical 

iron pier at the right bank, downstream side; elevation, 30.35 feet. 

(2) The top of a stone post set into the ground on the north side of the 

river, about 300 feet from the end of the iron bridge and on the west 

side of the road leading toward Carter's mill; elevation, 22.15 feet. 

Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

CABTECAY EIVER NEAR CARTECAY.

This station was established June 27, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is 

located at the Cartecay Bridge on the public road 6 miles upstream 

from Ellijay and 1^ miles northwest of Cartecay. Turkey Creek 

enters from the south side and Owltown Creek from the north side 

between this point and Ellijay. There is probably no considerable 

interference from dams above the station.

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the station. The current is swift. Both banks are high, but are subject to 

overflow. The bed of the stream is composed of bowlders and is 

probably permanent, the water flowing in one channel.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 

the single 60-foot span wooden bridge. The bridge has an approach 

on the right bank of 24 feet and on the left bank of 26 feet. The 

initial point for soundings is the edge of the abutment 011 the right 

bank, downstream side.

The gage is a vertical 10-foot timber, fastened to the sill and downstream post of the trestle bent at the right bank. It is read once each 

day by S. A. Burrell. The bench mark is the top of the downstream 

end of the first floor beam from the right bank, marked by nails and 

white paint; elevation, 16.50 feet above the datum of the gage.

ELLIJAY RIVER, AT ELLIJAY.

This station was established June 28, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is 

located at a wagon bridge about one-half mile east of Ellijay, and 

about the same distance above the junction of Ellijay and Cartecay 

rivers.

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the 

station. The right bank is about 12 feet high and the left about 10 

feet. Both banks are bordered by fields and are subject to overflow. 

There is one channel, broken by one wooden pier. The bed of the 

stream is composed of rock, and the current ranges from very swift 

above the station to sluggish below.

Discharge measurements are made from the open wooden wagon 

bridge, which has two 40-foot spans and 50-foot approaches on each 

bank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the 

right bank, on the downstream side.

A gage staff, reading from 2 to 6 feet, is nailed to the downstream 

vertical post at the right bank, and a bench mark established for 

reference. Regular gage readings are not maintained. The bench 

mark is a small nail and white paint mark in the downstream vertical 

post at the right bank; elevation, 7.00 feet above datum of the 

assumed gage.

MOUNTAINTOWN CREEK NEAR ELLIJAY.

This station was established May 10, 1904, by O. P. Hall. It is 

located at the covered bridge, known as Charles Bridge, about 4 miles 

west of Ellijay, and about the same distance above the mouth of the 

creek. This bridge consists of a single span of 54 feet, with short 

trestle approaches at either end. Discharge measurements are made 

either from the bridge, where the meter is lowered through holes in 

the floor, or at a foot log half a mile below. The initial point for 

soundings is the end of the trestle approach at the right bank.

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and 100 feet below 

the station. Both banks are high and not liable to overflow. The

bed of the stream is rocky. The water is shallow and swift at the 

bridge, the better section being at the foot log below the bridge.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which 

is a nail driven into the vertical post of the main bent under the right 

end of the bridge 6 feet above the top of the mud sill of the bent; elevation, 7.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

TALKING ROCK CREEK NEAR CARTERS.

This station was established May 26, 1904, by O. P. Hall. It is 

located about 3 miles above the mouth of Talking Kock Creek and 

about the same distance east of Carters. Numerous measurements 

of the creek had previously been made in connection with measurements at the Coosawattee River station.

Both banks are high and will probably not overflow. There is one 

channel at all stages. The section is a good one. Discharge measurements are made from a boat just above R. L. Hill's boat landing, or 

by wading at a shoal a short distance below. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is a nail in & large elm 

tree on the left bank at R. L. Hill's boat landing; elevation, 7.50 feet 

above the datum of the assumed gage.

This station was established in 1905. It is located at the wagon 

bridge about 3 miles north of Cavespring, 1 mile below the Southern 

Railway bridge, and half a mile below the mouth of Little Cedar 

Creek.

The channel is straight for about 200 feet above and 300 feet below 

the bridge. The right bank is low and will overflow to the extent of 

the 100-foot wooden approach. The left bank is high and will not 

overflow. The bed is of sand and mud, and is therefore probably

made from the single iron span 91 feet long. The initial point for 

soundings is the end of the bridge at the left bank, upstream.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which 

is the top of the upstream end of the second floor beam from the rightbank end of the bridge; elevation, 20.00 feet above the datum of the 

assumed gage.

TALLAPOOSA RIVER AT BUCHAXAX BRIDGE, NEAR TALLAPOOSA.

This station was established October 21, 1901, by M. R. Hall. It 

is located at Buchanaii Bridge, about 4 miles north of Tallapoosa, 

and about 2 miles above the station on Tallapoosa River at Adderhold Bridge. Discharge measurements are made from the singlespan iron highway bridge, which has a trestle approach of 100 feet on 

the right bank and of 50 feet on the left bank. The initial point for 

soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank, downstream side. 

The channel is straight for about 800 feet above and 1,000 feet below 

the station. The current is moderate above and swift below the 

measuring section and the banks rarely overflow. The bed of the 

stream is composed of rock and gravel, free from vegetation, and is 

probably constant; there is but one channel at all stages, broken at 

the higher levels by the piers and trestlework of the bridge. The 

bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the center floor beam, 

the third from either end; elevation, 25.25 feet above gage datum.

bridge at the left bank, downstream side. The channel is straight for 

about 300 feet above and 500 feet below the station. The current is 

swift above and sluggish below. Both banks are wooded and are 

subject to overflow under the trestle approaches during high water. 

The bed of the stream is composed of sand, and is probably constant. 

There is but one channel at all stages, broken during the higher levels 

by the piers and trestle work of the bridge. The bench mark is the 

top of the downstream end of the first floor beam from the left bank; 

elevation, 22.00 feet above gage datum.

SURVEY OF COOSAWATTEE RIVER.

From May 29 to July 12, 1900, a survey of a part of Coosawattee 

River was made, under the supervision of B. M. Hall, resident hydrographer, by Olin P. Hall, who was field assistant, levelman, and topographer. No camp outfit was carried. The levelman read his 

distances with the stadia, and identified land lines and tributaries 

from a township or district map of the old State survey. This map 

embraces two land districts, the eleventh and the twenty-fifth. The 

eleventh was found to be correct, but the twenty-fifth was incorrect. 

The survey began at the Geological Survey gaging station at Carters, 

with zero of the gage as a level datum, and extended up the river to 

Ellijay, a distance of 24 miles. The total fall between the two places 

was found to be 581.6 feet. This 24 miles of river cuts through the 

Cohutta Mountains and enters the Paleozoic formation at Carter's 

mill, about 2 miles above the gaging station, which is the head of 

navigation on the river. It is along a continuous shoal, and the 

conditions are such that water power can be developed at any point 

desired. The only utilized power is at Carter's mill, where there is 

an 8-foot dam across the river.

WATER POWER IN MOBILE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 

ETOWAH RIVER.

From Rome up to the Western and Atlantic railroad crossing, near 

Cartersville, a distance of 45 miles, Etowah River is mostly swift, but 

has no large shoals. The total fall is about 115 feet, which includes 

numerous small shoals. At a few places the fall is 5 or 6 feet in a mile 

or less, and at one place near Kingston the fall is 33 feet in 8^ miles. 

One and one-fourth miles below the railroad bridge, at the old 

Tumlin mill site, is the large corn mill of the Etowah Milling Company, 

utilizing about 6 feet of fall.

Immediately below the railroad bridge is an old mill site from 

which the mill and the 5-foot dam are entirely gone. About 2 miles 

above the railroad bridge begins a very fine water power, which was 

once partly developed and, before the civil war, operated the 

Cooper Iron Works and a large flour mill. At present only the ruins 

of what is said to have been "a half-million dollar plant" are to be 

seen. This power has a fall of 90 feet in about 6 miles. Above this 

point there are numerous good small power sites, some of which are 

developed, but no great falls occur until the upper portion of the 

river is. reached.

On Amicalola River, a large tributary of the Etowah, and on 

Etowah River above the mouth of the Amicalola, there are many 

excellent shoals having large amounts of fall.

HIWASSEE EIVEE DRAINAGE BASIN. 

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN.

Hiwassee River rises in the northern part of Georgia and flows into 

Tennessee River about 30 miles above Chattanooga, Tenn. Its 

principal tributaries are the Toccoa (Okoee) and the Nottely. The 

United States Geological Survey has maintained, among others in 

this basin, the following stations: On Toccoa River near Blue Ridge, 

Ga.; on the Okoee River at McCays, Tenn.; on Nottely River at 

Ranger, N. C.; and on Hiwassee River at Murphy, N. C. The stations 

in North Carolina and Tennessee, mentioned above, are included here, 

as the data regarding the rivers in this basin will be valuable in 

estimating the flow of these streams at points above.

STREAM FLOW. 

HIWASSEE RIVER AT MURPHY, N. C.

This station was established July 26, 1896, by E. W. Myers. It is 

located at the highway bridge in Murphy, N. C., about 80 feet above 

the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad bridge and one-half 

mile above the mouth of Valley River.

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the 

station. The right bank is high and rocky and will not overflow. 

The left bank will overflow for a short distance around the abutment. 

The bed of the stream is rocky and rough, and makes soundings 

uncertain. The bed is permanent and the flow is rapid. Discharge 

measurements are made from the sidewalk on the upstream side of the 

single-span highway bridge. The bridge is 195 feet long, supported by 

stone abutments. The initial point for soundings is the end of the 

iron hand rail on the right bank, upstream side of the bridge.

A standard chain gage is fastened to the top of the downstream end 

of the first iron floor beam from the right bank in the space between 

the bridge floor and the lower chords; length of chain, 27.05 feet. It 

is read once each day by William Mingus. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The downstream side of the top of the stone 

pier at the right bank; elevation, 22.55 feet. (2) The top of the 

downstream end of the first iron floor beam from the right end of the 

bridge; elevation, 25.05 feet.

HIWASSEE DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW.

NOTTELY RIVER AT RANGER, N. C.

317

This station was established February 16, 1901, by O. P. Hall. It 

is located at the wooden wagon bridge one-half mile from the railroad 

station at Ranger, N. C., and one-fourth mile below the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad bridge.

The bridge is at a flat bend in the river, the channel curving slightly 

above and below the station for 600 feet. The right bank is high, 

rocky, and somewhat wooded and will overflow around the end of the 

bridge for about 50 feet only. The left bank is low and will overflow 

for a distance of 700 feet at a gage height of from 15 to 18 feet. The 

bed of the stream is of gravel and sand and probably shifts considerably. The current is somewhat broken and irregular, mostly because 

of the piers. There is a moderate velocity and a depth of from 2 to 5 

feet at low stages. Discharge measurements are made from the 

wagon bridge, a wooden structure of 3 spans supported by 2 wooden 

piers and 2 stone abutments. The center span is 55 feet long, and the 

end spans are each 36 feet long. The floor of the bridge is about 20 

feet above low water. The initial point for soundings is the inside 

face of the stone abutment on the right bank.

The gage is a vertical board in two sections, each 8 feet long, fastened to the left side of the first wooden pier from the right bank. 

The gage is read once each day by A. D. Kilpatrick. Bench marks 

were established as follows: (1) The heads of large wire nails driven 

into the top of the downstream end of the wooden cap on the left bent 

of the wooden pier nearest the right bank of the river; elevation, 20.05 

feet. (2) A cut on a maple tree 18 inches in diameter, 25 feet from 

the upstream side of the bridge on the right bank, 25 feet from the edge 

of the water; elevation, 15.00 feet.

322 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

TOCCOA RIVER NEAR BLUERIDGE.

This stream, called Toccoa River in Georgia and Okoee River in 

Tennessee, has its source on the northern slopes of the Blue Ridge 

Mountains in Georgia and flows northwest into Hiwassee River. The 

area is covered with a fine growth of oak, hickory, and other hard 

woods. Tne station, established by B. M. Hall on November 25, 1898, 

is located at the Morgan!on Bridge, about 4 miles east of the town of 

Blueridge, Ga. The gage is a 14-foot rod, in two 7-foot sections, nailed 

to a tree on the right bank just below the bridge. It is graduated to 

feet and tenths and is set to conform to bench marks which were 

established October 15, 1896, and October 26, 1898. The measurements during 1896 were made at the railroad bridge about 3 miles 

below, but are referred to the present gage by comparison of the 

bench marks at the two bridges. The bench mark at the Morganton 

Bridge is on the top of the bridge floor, on the downstream side, 50 

feet from the initial point, and is 18.0 feet above the zero of the gage. 

The bridge was a wooden, queen-post, open bridge, in three spans, 

with a total length between abutments of 153 feet, but it has been 

remodeled and changed into a closed bridge, not suitable for use in 

making discharge measurements at such an irregular section. Measurements are now made at McCays, Tenn., where a gage has been 

established.

The observer was W. E. Rogers, a farmer living about a quarter of a 

mile east of the gage. The station was discontinued March 31, 1903.

HIWASSEE DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW.

OKOEE RIVER AT M CAYS, TENN.

327

This station was established March 21, 1903, by O. P. Hall. It is 

located at a suspension footbridge just below McCays Ferry, at 

McCays, Tenn., near the Georgia-Tennessee boundary, and one-half 

mile below the railroad bridge of the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern 

Railroad.

The channel is practically straight for about 800 feet above and 

below the station. The right bank will overflow at about 14 feet 

gage height for about 500 feet, and the left bank at gage height 12 to 

20 feet for about 400 feet. The water is confined to one channel and 

the bed is probably constant. The current is fairly swift and the 

section is good for measurement. Discharge measurements are made 

from the suspension footbridge.

The gage is in two sections, the inclined section reading from 0.3 

to 8.5 feet, set in a trench and held in place by posts driven into the 

ground. The vertical section, reading from 8 to 18 feet, is attached to 

the bridge posts on the right bank. The gage is read twice each day 

by Arch Ballew. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The 

head of a large nail in the center of a post at the right-bank end of the 

footbridge on the downstream side; elevation, 16.10 feet; this post is 

an anchor post for the cable of the suspension bridge and may be 

pulled out of place. (2) A copper plug set in solid rock at the outer 

edge of the side ditch of the railroad bed, about 800 feet west of the 

railroad station at McCays, 11 feet north of the center of the track, 

and slightly higher than the railroad; elevation, 20.98 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

FIGHTINGTOWN ('KEEK AT M CAYS, TENN.

This station was established August 27, 1904, for the purpose of 

making miscellaneous measurements. It is located about one-half 

mile above the mouth of the creek, which flows into Okoee River 

about one-half mile below the gaging station at McCays, Tenn. Fightingtown Creek is in Georgia, but its mouth is in Tennessee.

Both banks are open cultivated lands, which will probably overflow. The bed is sandy, and will probably change much. Discharge 

measurements are made by means of a boat or by wading. The 

bench mark is two small nails driven into the largest of a cluster ol 

small maple sprouts on the right bank, 40 feet above the mouth of a 

small branch; elevation, 5.00 feet above datum of assumed gage.

RIVER SURVEYS IN HIWASSEE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 

HIWASSEE RIVER.

The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum 

tablet marked "1984 ATLANTA'' at the northeast corner of front 

vestibule of Towns County court-house, Hiwassee, the elevation of 

which is accepted as 1,983.634 feet above sea level.

The leveling is adjusted with flying levels on Nottely River to 

accord with the 1903 adjusted elevation of the primary bench marks 

at Blairsville and Hiwassee. From the mouth of the Nottely to Apalachia the leveling is a single spur line.

The leveling was done in 1903 by Thomas B. O'Hagan, levelman, 

under the direction of Carroll Caldwell, field assistant, United States 

Geological Survey.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL

SURVEY.

[Water-Supply Paper No. 197.]

The publications of the United States Geological Survey consist of (1) Annual 

Reports, (2) Monographs, (3) Professional Papers, (4) Bulletins, (5) Mineral 

Resources, (6) Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers, (7) Topographic Atlas of United 

States folios and separate sheets thereof, (8) Geologic Atlas of United States 

folios thereof. The classes numbered 2, 7, and 8 are sold at cost of publication; the 

others are distributed free. A circular giving complete lists can be had on application.

Most of the above publications can be obtained or consulted in the following ways:

1. A limited number are delivered to the Director of the Survey, from whom they 

can be obtained, free of charge (except classes 2, 7, and 8), on application.

2. A certain number are delivered to Senators and Representatives in Congress 

for distribution.

3. Other copies are deposited with the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, 

D. C., from whom they can be had at prices slightly above cost.

4. Copies of all Government publications are furnished to the principal public 

libraries in the large cities throughout the United States, where they can be consulted 

by those interested.

The Professional Papers, Bulletins, and Water-Supply Papers treat of a variety of 

subjects, and the total number issued is large. They have therefore been classified into 

the following series: A, Economic geology; B, Descriptive geology; C, Systematic 

geology and paleontology; D, Petrography and mineralogy; E, Chemistry and physics; F, Geography; G, Miscellaneous; H, Forestry; I, Irrigation; J, Water storage; 

K, Pumping water; L, Quality of water; M, General hydrographic investigations; 

N, Water power; O, Underground waters; P, Hydrographic progress reports; Q, 

Fuels; R, structural materials. This paper is the twenty-second in Series M and 

the twelfth in Series N, the complete lists of which follow (WS=Water-Supply 

Paper):
