SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS, 1937

SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measurements of 

flow made on streams in the United States during the water year ending September 30, 1937. 

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies relating to irrigation. 

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 7,200 points in the United States and 

also at many points in Alaska and ttie Hawaiian Islands. In July 1937, 3,380 gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating organizations. 

Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at other points.

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

either by furnishing data or by assisting in collecting data. Acknowledgments for 

cooperation of the first kind are made In connection with the description of each station 

affected; cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 8.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

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

herein are defined as follows:

"Second-feet" is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A second-foot is a rate 

of flow of 1 cubic foot per second, or the rate of discharge of water flowing in a channel 

when the cross-sectional area is 1 square foot and the average velocity is 1 foot per 

second.

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

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

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

flowing from it In a given period were uniformly distributed on its surface. It Is used 

for comparing run-off with rainfall, which Is usually expressed in inches.

An "acre-foot", equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, is the quantity required to cover an 

acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term is commonly user1 In connection with storage for 

irrigation.

"Second-foot-day" is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot for 

24 hours.

"Stage-discharge relation" is an abbreviation for the terra "relation of gage height to 

discharge."

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

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

EXPLANATION OF DATA

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

of discharge, and general information used to supplement the gage heights and discharge 

measurements in determining the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either

1
2 ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

from direct, readings on a nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a 

continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current 

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

discharge. Typical gaging stations, equipped with water-stage recorder and measuring 

cable and car, are shown on plate 1.

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

measurements. The application of the dally gage height to these rating tables gives the 

dally discharge from which the monthly and yearly mean discharge Is computed.

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

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

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

was determined by shifting-control method or by use of slope or other special methods.

The description of the station gives the type of gage, Its latitude and longitude 

determined from the best available maps, and information In regard to diversions that 

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

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

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

more complete years of record. Information under "Extremes" gives the maximum discharge 

and gage height; the minimum discharge If there Is little or no regulation; the minimum 

dally discharge If there Is extensive regulation, and also the minimum discharge if useful; and the minimum gage height except when It Is of no Importance. Unless otherwise 

qualified, the maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage obtained by use of a 

water-stage recorder or a nonrecording gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the 

minimum represents the lowest discharge unless otherwise qualified.

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

the discharge In second-feet corresponding to once-daily or the mean of twice-daily readIngs of the gage. For stations equipped with water-stage recorders the table gives the 

discharge corresponding to the mean dally gage height except for stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation. For stations subject to such fluctuation the mean 

dally gage height may not Indicate the true mean daily discharge, which must be obtained 

by averaging the discharge for Intervals of the day or by using the discharge Integrator, 

an instrument for obtaining the mean daily discharge from a continuous gage-height graph 

and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the station.

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

for each month of the discharge given In the table of dally discharge. The column headed 

"Maximum" gives the maximum daily discharge and not the discharge when the water surface 

was at crest height. Likewise, In the column headed "Minimum" the quantity given Is the 

minimum dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" Is the average flow In cubic feet per 

second during the month.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

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

and Interpretation of records.

The station description gives a statement under "Remarks" In regard to the general 

accuracy of the records. "Excellent" Indicates that, In general, the dally records are

in error not more than 5 percent; "good", not more than 10 percent; "fair", not more than 

15 percent; and "poor", over 15 percent.

The monthly means of any station may represent with high accuracy the quantity of 

water flowing past the gage, but the figures showing discharge per square mile and depth 

in inches may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing 

districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information concerning water diverted 

for irrigation or other use, or by inability to interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of the river above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and 

"run-off in inches" are therefore not computed if such errors appear probable. The computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining areas in which the annual 

rainfall is less than 20 inches.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, and the discharge recorded does not 

show the water supply available for further development, as prior appropriations below 

the station must first be satisfied.

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

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

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

expected to throw new light on data previously published, and that greater degrees of refinement in computations and records may be warranted with increased data and use of improved equipment.

The foregoing table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of the papers on 

surface water supply published from 1899 to 1937. The data for any particular station 

will, In general, be found In the reports covering the years during which the station was 

maintained. For example, the data from 1910 to 1920 for any station in the area covered 

by part 3 are published In Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 383, 403, 433, 453, 

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

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

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

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

end of each report In the same relative order as the regular gaging stations. An Index 

of the records obtained prior to 1904 has been published In Water-Supply Paper 119.

From time to time reports have been published that are compilations of records for 

various areas, usually a single State or drainage basin. These reports contain records 

previously published (some of which have been revised), as well as some records not contained In the annual series of water-supply papers. The following table gives the 

numbers and titles of these reports, arranged In alphabetical order by States and 

drainage basins.

1895-1937: Maximum discharge, about 92,200 second-feet Mar. 27, 1913 (gage height, 

ZI feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 32,000 second-feet on basis 

of velocity-area studies near control section, computation of peak flow over dam at 

Balcony Falls during flood of Mar. 18, 1936, and comparison of peak discharge and total 

run-off of that flood at this station with those at other stations in James River Basin; 

minimum, 255 second-feet several days in September 1932 (gage height, 1.60 feet).

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for period of missing gage heights, Dec. 30 to 

Jan. 1 (computed on basis of records for stations at Lick Run and Holcombs Rock), which 

are fair. Gage-height record collected in cooperation with U. S. Weather Bureau.

Hating tables, water year 1936-37 (gage height, in feet, and discharge, in second-feet)

second-feet Oct. 14.

1899-1937: Maximum discharge, 149,000 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 28.77 

feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 90,000 second-feet on basis of 

velocity-area studies, determination of peak flow by slope-area method, and comparison 

of peak discharge and total run-off of flood at this station with those at other 

stations in James River Basin; minimum, 320 second-feet Sept. 22, 1932 (gage height, 

0.11 foot); minimum daily, 348 second-feet Oct. 5, 1930.

NEUSE RIVER BASIN 71 

Neuse River near Northside, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°02'25n , long. 78°45'05", at Fish Dam Bridge, 

1* miles below Seaboard Air Line Railway bridge and 2 miles south of Northside, 

Granville County. Zero of gage Is 226.32 feet above mean sea level (survey by 

Corp? of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 526 square miles (revised). 

Records available.- July 1927 to September 1937. 

Average discharge.- 10 years, 538 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 8,750 second-feet Apr. 26; maximum gage

Height, 21.86 feet Apr. 27; minimum discharge, 55 second-feet July 31 (gage height, 

1.49 feet).

1927-37: Maximum discharge, 26,600 second-feet Oct. 3, 1929 (gage height, 28.64 

feet), from rating curve extended above 8,000 second-feet; minimum, 3.1 second-feet 

Sept, 20, 1932 (gage height, 0.87 foot).

Remarks.- Records fair below 4,000 second-feet and poor above. Rate of change in 

stage is factor in determination of discharge during floods. Considerable diurnal 

fluctuation from operation of power plants upstream. Low flow slightly regulated by 

storage in Durham Reservoir. (For diversion see Flat River at dam near Bahama.) 

Previously published records of "discharge per square mile" and "run-off depth in 

inches" are considerably In error owing to error in figures used to represent 

drainage area.

Discharge, In second-feet, water year October 1936 to September 1937

Remarks.- Records good. Considerable regulation by Durham Reservoir, Just above station, 

where a daily average of 8.5 second-feet of water was diverted during the year for 

Durham water supply, about 60 per cent of which was returned to Neuse River as sewage. 

Large diurnal fluctuation from operations of power plants.

NEUSE RIVER BASIN

Contentnea Creek at Hookerton, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°25'40", long. 77°35'05", at Hookerton, Green 

(Jounty, about 300 feet below highway bridge and 2J miles above Wheat Swamp Creek.

Drainage area.- 789 square miles (revised).

Records available.- November 1928 to September 1937.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 7,450 second-feet Feb. 3 (gage height, 18.28 

reet;; minimum, 95 second-feet Sept. 30 (gage height, 2.41 feet).

1928-37: Maximum discharge, 11,100 second-feet Oct. 6, 1929 (gage height, 18.9 

feet); minimum, 13 second-feet Sept. 16, 17, 1932 (gage height, 1.17 feet). 

Maximum stage known, 23.3 feet, September 1928.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods when recorder clock was stopped, Mar. 1-4, 

Apr. 5-7 (computed on basis of range in stage shown on recorder chart and study of 

graphs of similar stages In the past), which are fair. Previously published records 

of "discharge per square mile" and "run-off depth In Inches" are greatly in error 

owing to error in figure used to represent drainage area (691 square miles).

CAPE FEAR RIVER BASIN 85

Cape Fear River at Fayetteville, N. C.

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

Cumberland County, at highway bridge Just below Cross Creek. Zero of gage is 20.23 

feet above mean sea level (survey by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 4,370 square miles, revised.

Records available.- January 1889 to May 1903, September 1928 to September 1937.

Average discharge.- 22 years (1889-1902, 1928-37), 4,850 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 41,700 second-feet Jan. 30 (gage height, 39.1 

reetj; maximum gage height, 39.4 feet Jan. 30; minimum discharge not determined; 

minimum gage height, 9.21 feet Sept. 27; minimum dally discharge, 400 second-feet 

(estimated), June 28, sept. 27.

1889-1903, 1928-37: Maximum discharge, 110,000 second-feet Oct. 4, 1929 (gage 

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

110 second-feet Oct. 5, 1930.

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

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

Remarks.- Records fair above 10,000 second-feet and poor below. Lock 3, about 20 miles 

aownstream, creates about 10 feet of backwater at Fayetteville except during floods, 

when lock drowns out. This backwater, combined with diurnal fluctuation from operation 

of Buckhorn power plant, upstream, and power plants on Rockflsh Creek which enters Cape 

Fear River between Fayetteville and Lock 3, has made the development of a satisfactory 

discharge rating for medium and low stages impossible. Rate of change In stage enters 

Into determination of discharge during floods. Graphs based on twice-daily gage readIngs used Apr. 13-23.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1936 to September 1937

CAPE FEAR RIVER BASIN

Reedy Fork near Gibsonville, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°10'30", long. 79°37'00", a quarter of a mile 

below Huffines Mill, li miles above Buffalo Creek, and 6 miles northwest of Gibsonville, Guilford County.

Drainage area.- 133 square miles.

Records available.- September 1928 to September 1937.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,040 second-feet Jan. 20 (gage height, 10.11 

reet;. from rating curve extended above 1,400 second-feet; minimum, 4 second-feet 

sometime during July 2-21 (gage height, 0.35 foot); minimum daily discharge, 28 secondfeet (estimated) July 4.

1928-37: Maximum discharge, 4,390 second-feet Jan. 20, 1936 (gage height, 13.28 

feet), from rating curve extended above 1,400 second-feet; minimum, 0.8 second-foot 

Aug. 27, 1932 (gage height, 0.35 foot); minimum daily, 1.8 second-feet Aug. 24, 1930.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 15 and above 1,500 second-feet and those for 

period when recorder was not operating, July 2-21 (computed on basis of fragmentary 

gage-height record and records for stations on nearby streams, principally North 

Buffalo Creek near Greensboro), which are poor. Considerable diurnal fluctuation from 

operations of power plant upstream. Flow slightly regulated by storage for Greensboro 

water supply, 14 miles upstream, where an average daily discharge of 10.9 second-feet 

was diverted during the year.

Aug. 2 (gage height, 0.56 foot); minimum dally, 464 second-feet Aug. 1.

1927-37: Maximum discharge, 212,000 second-feet Sept. 19, 1928 (gage height, 25.38 

feet), from rating curve extended above 110,000 second-feet; minimum, that of Aug. 2, 

1937; minimum daily, 188 second-feet Oct. 13, 1935.

( computed on basis of records of discharge at Blewett Falls power plant), which are 

fair, and those below 1,000 second-feet, which are poor. Flow partly regulated by 

several reservoirs. Large diurnal fluctuation caused by operation of power plant 

upstream.

156 ST. JOHNS RIVER BASIN

St. Johns River near De Land, Fla.

Location.- Slope station with two gages In T. 17 S., R. 29 E.; upstream water-stage 

recorder at Hawklnsvllle landing, 1 mile above Crows Bluff Bridge; downstream waterstage recorder 3* miles below this bridge, at St. Francis landing. Zeros of gages are 

1.106 feet and 0.716 foot, respectively, below mean sea level. An auxiliary recorder 

Is operated at Crows Bluff Bridge, lat. E9°01', long. 81°23', 5 miles west of De Land, 

and this is the point of determination of the drainage area and the place where discharge measurements are made.

Drainage area.- E,830 square miles.

Records available.- January 1934 to September 1937.

Extremes.- Maximum dally discharge during year, 3,300 second-feet Oct. 24; minimum dally, 

370 second-feet Jan. 27.

1934-37: Maximum dally discharge, 10,600 second-feet July 4-6, 1934; minimum 

dally, about 30 second-feet Feb. 1, 1935 (strong upstream wind). 

Maximum stage known, 6.8 feet In 1910 (discharge not determined).

Remarks.- Records above 2,000 second-feet are good, those below 500 and 2,000 second-feet 

are fair, and those below 500 second-feet are poor. Those for the following periods, 

when one or both recorders were not operating, were rated and determined as Indicated: 

Oct. 16-19, Sept. 5, 6, good, computed by Interpolating slope relation; Dec. 24 to 

Jan. 12, fair, computed by using auxiliary-recorder graph at bridge and Interpolating 

slope relation; July 14-26, poor, computed by studying range In stage Indicated on 

recorder charts, comparing gage-height graph with graphs of tributary streams, and 

Interpolating slope relation. Discharge determined graphically by use of threedimensional diagram of discharge and stages at each end of reach. This diagram Is 

defined by many discharge measurements.

Discharge, In second-foot, water y*«r October 1936 to September 1937

Mosquito Creek at Chattahooehee, Fla.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 30°43', long. 84°49', In sec. 34, T. 3 N., R. 6 W., 

at cnattahoochee, 500 feet upstream from bridge on U. S. Highway 90 and 600 feet 

downstream from pumping plant and dam.

Drainage area.- 187 square miles.

Records available.- March 1936 to September 1937.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,310 second-feet Sept. 1 (gage height, 11.54 

reet}, from rating curve extended above 500 second-feet; minimum, 0.3 second-foot Oct. 

7, 8 (gage height, 0.88 foot).

1936-37: UaxlmsB discharge, that of Sept. 1, 1937; minimum, that of Oct. 7, 8, 

1936; Minimum gage height, 0.88 foot Sept. 22, Oct. 7, 8, 1936.

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

TFom pumping plant 600 feet upstream. Amount of water diverted at dam for supply of 

Florida State Hospital Is not measured, but is estimated at one million gallons a 

day. It is believed that a serious loss of water from reservoir by seepage underground accounts for low run-off from this drainage area.

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

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

Remarks,- Gage-height records good except those below 8.0 feet, which are affected by 

operation of power plant 4i miles downstream and are fair. Dally discharge not 

determined below 3,530 second-feet because of variable stage-discharge relation resultIng from operation of power plant at dam, 4% miles downstream. Gage read twice dally; 

gage-height graphs drawn for periods of rapidly changing stage.

records for station at Tusoaloosa.
MOBILE RIVER BASIN 251

Slpsey Fork of Mulberry Fork of Black Warrior River near Arley, Ala.

Location.- Wire-weight gage, lat. 33°59', long. 87°13', In Ni sec. 19, T. 12 S., R. 6 

W., "St Duncan Bridge, 3 miles below Clear Creek and 5 miles south of Arley.

Drainage area.- 537 square miles.

Records available.- January 1936 to September 1937.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during January 1936 to September 1937, 38,000 second-feet 

Feb.~4 (gage height, 51.0 feet, from graph based on gage readings), from rating curve 

extended above 18,000 second-feet on basis of area-velocity studies and records for 

station near Slpsey; minimum observed, 34 second-feet June 19, 20; minimum gage height 

observed, 3.11 feet June 20.

Maximum discharge during water year 1936-37, 21,500 second-feet Apr. 29 (gage 

height, 34.5 feet, from floodmarks;; minimum observed, 37 second-feet Oct. 5, 6;

' minimum gage height observed, 3.19 feet Oct. 5.

Remarks.- Records fair below 19,000 second-feet and poor above. Gage read once daily, 

oTEener during periods of rapidly changing stage; gage-height graphs drawn for these 

periods. Dally mean gage heights are computed from gage-height graphs or are the 

mean of the observed morning gage height and the evening gage height computed by 

Interpolation.

*Gage height missing; discharge computed on basis of weather records and records for station at 

Sipsey.
MOBILE RIVER BASIN 253

Slpsey Fork of Mulberry Fork of Black Warrior River near Slpsey, Ala.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 33°52', long. 87°04', in T. 13 S., R. 5 W., 200 feet below 

Lleth Creek, 3| miles northeast of Sipsey, and 5 miles above mouth.

Drainage area.- 1,020 square miles.

Records available.- September 1928 to September 1937 (discontinued).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 34,900 second-feet Apr. 30; maximum gage 

Height, 44.0 feet Apr. 30, from graph based on gage readings; minimum discharge 

observed, 31 second-feet Oct. 6 (gage height, 3.62 feet).

1928-37: Maximum discharge, 51,400 second-feet Feb. 4, 1936; maximum gage 

height, 57.0 feet Feb. 4, 1936; minimum discharge, 5 second-feet June 30, 1930 

(gage height, 2.99 feet).

Remarks.- Records fair except those above 3,000 second-feet, which are poor.

Discharge above 3,000 second-feet taken from "loop" rating curves based on rate 

of change of stage. Gage read at least once daily. For all days except for 

periods of rapidly changing stage, for which gage-height graphs were drawn, the 

mean daily gage heights are the means of the morning gage readings and the computed 

evening gage heights, the latter obtained by interpolation.

Discharge, In second-fast, water year October 1936 to September 1937
