INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS 

PART ~-MISSOURI RIVER BASIN TO SEPrEMBER 80, 1960 

Explanation 

The index lists the stream-flow and reservoir stations in the Missouri River :Basin for which 

records have been collected and published (or are to be published) for periods prior to September 30, 

1950. The stations on streams, canals, lakes, and reservoirs are listed in downstream order. Tributary streams are indicated by indention. Of the stations in Canada oilly those for which records 

have been or soon will be published by the Geological Survey in water-supply papers have been included in the index. · 

Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Parentheses around part of a 

station name indicate that the enclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the 

station or in a name under which records were published by some agency other than the Geological 

Survey. ' 

Discharge records for many stations on canals have been published only by state aaencies, and 

the names of these caul stations usually have been extended to identify them more fully. For a 

canal diverting from a main stream, the name of the nearest town has usually been added to the name 

of the canal; for a canal diverting from a minor tributary, the words "diversion from" followed by 

the name of the tributary have usually been added to the name of the canal station. Canal wastes and 

small diversions from streams into well-known canals usually have been listed under the n&m!ts of 

the canals, and the downstream order of these wastes and diversions has been assiped as thouah 

these wastes and diversions were tributaries of the canals. 

An attempt has been made to list under one name all equivalent or nearly equivalent discharge 

records that were obtained at two or more nearby sites on~~ •~ream unless the equival,nt records were obtained concurrently. Some records that were not 1

approximately equivalent have been pub-· 

lished under one station name. These nonequivalent records have been separated in this index. 

The drainage areas, in square miles, are the latest figures published or otherwise available at · this time. Draiuge areas that were obviously inconsistent with other drainage areas on the same stream have been omitted. Some drainage areas not published by the Geological Survey are listed 

with an appropriate footnote statina the published source of the figure of drainage area. 

Under "period of record" breaks of less ihan a lZ-month period are not shown. A dash not followed immediately by a closing date shows that the station was in operation on September 30, 1 950. 

The years given are calendar years. Periods of records published by agencies other than the Geological Survey are listed in parentheses only when they contain more detailed information or are for . periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey. · 

Records both of aaae height and of discharge are listed for stream-flow stations, and records of 

gage height and of contents (or of change in contents) are listed for stations on reservoirs. Records 

of gage heights only and records consisting only of monthly figures either of stream flow or reservoir 

contents are desi~Dated by symbols and footnotes. For early years when daily discharses were not 

generally published by the Geological Survey, published daily gage heights and a published rating 

table were considered to be equivalent to daily discharges. 

An alphabetical index of streams, canals, and reservoirs is given on pages 4Z-49.
