SCOPE OF WORK

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

stage and flow made on streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the 

water year ending September 30, 1945. The work was begun In 1888 In connection with 

special studies relating to Irrigation. Measurements of the flow of streams and of the 

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 10,300 gaging stations 

In the 48 States and also at many In the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1945, 

5,600 gaging stations, including those In Hawaii, were being maintained by the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made 

during the water year at many other points.

In the execution of the work many State and private organ!zations have cooperated, 

either by furnishing data or by assisting In collecting data. Cooperation of the first 

kind Is acknowledged in connection with the description of each station affected; cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged, under the heading "Cooperation," in the introductory natter that precedes the gaglng-station records in each volume. In the present 

volume, the section on cooperation of the second kind appears on page 12.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

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

herein are defined as follows:

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

rate of discharge of a stream whose channel is 1 square foot in cross-sectional area and 

whose average velocity is 1 fcot 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 runoff is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Runoff in inches" is the depth to which an area would be covered if all the water 

draining from it in a given period were uniformly distributed on its surface. It is used 

for comparing runoff with rainfall, which Is usually expressed in inches.

An "acre-foot" is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 

1 foot and Is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. The term Is commonly used 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. It Is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,317 gallons and 

represents a runoff of 0.0372 Inch from 1 square mile.

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

and discharge."

"Control" Is a term used to designate a feature downstream from the gage that determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural section, a reach 

of the channel, or an artificial structure.

2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY', 1945, PART 3

"Contents" Is a term applied to the volume of water in a reservoir. It Is computed on 

the basis of a level pool and does not include bank storage unless btherwlsp indicated.

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 records of stage and discharge 

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

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

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

discharge. Typical structures In use at gaging stations are shown in figure 1.

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

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

If the stage-discharge relation is subject to change because of frequent or continual 

change in the physical features that form the control, the daily mean discharge is determined by the "shifting-control method," in which correction factors based on individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used in applying the 

gage heights to the rating tables. At times the stage-discharge relation for a station 

may be temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control. 

For such times the daily mean discharge is computed by what is essentially the "shiftingcontrol" method, described above.

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by backwater from 

reservoirs, tributary streams, or other.sources, which necessitates the use of the "slope 

method," in which the slope or fall in a reach of the stream is a factor in the determination of discharge. Information requisite for determining the slope or fall is obtained 

by means of an auxiliary gage set at some distance from the base gage. At some stations 

the stage-discharge relation is affected by changing stage, and for them the rate of 

change of stage is used as a factor in the determination of discharge.

At most gaging stations in the northern part of the United States and at some in the 

mountainous regions of other parts the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice during 

the winter, which makes it impossible to compute the discharge in the usual manner. Discharge for periods of ice effect is computed on the basis of the gage-height record and 

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

comparable records of discharge for stations in the same or nearby basins. For those 

stations at which the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice, the days included in 

the periods of ice effect either are indicated in the table by symbols referring to a 

footnote that states this fact or are given in a general note following the table. The 

days on which discharge measurements were made during or between periods of ice effect, 

shortly before the first period, or shortly after the last period are similarly indicated 

by a footnote.

For most of the gaging stations on streams in the area covered by this report the data 

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

the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and runoff. Skeleton rating

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

greater part of the year was determined by the shifting-control method, the slope method, 

or other special methods.

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

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

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

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

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

complete years of record. Under "Extremes" are given the maximum discharge and gage height 

the minimum discharge If there Is little or no regulation; the minimum dally discharge If 

there Is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge if useful); and the minimum gage 

height (unless 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 discharge represents the 

lowest stage, unless otherwise qualified. Selected peak discharges with the times of 

their occurrence are given, below the table of monthly discharge, for some stations.- This 

supplementary Information Is generally omitted for a station at which the drainage area of 

the stream Is less than 10 or more ttian 10,000 square miles or at which, on most days, the 

peak discharge exceeds the mean discharge by less than 10 percent.

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

sudden or rapid fluctuation, the table gives the discharge corresponding to the dally mean 

gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the dally mean gage height may not 

Indicate the true dally mean discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge 

for parts of the day or by using the discharge Integrator, an instrument for obtaining the 

dally mean discharge from a continuous gage-height graph and containing as an essential 

element a curve representing the stage-discharge relation at the station. For stations 

equipped with nonrecordlng gages, the table of dally discharge gives the discharge In 

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

readings. For periods of rapidly changing stage the dally mean discharge Is determined 

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

stated In the station description.

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

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

"Maximum" gives the maximum dally discharge, not the momentary discharge when the water 

surface was at crest stage. Likewise, In the column headed "Minimum" the quantity given 

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

feet per second during the month.

For most gaging stations on laKes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a description of the station and a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reservoirs 

a table shewing dally contents Is given. A skeleton table of capacity at given stages Is 

usually given In the first report In which data for a station are published but Is omitted

from succeeding reports.

TIME BASIS

At 2 a.m. on February 9, 1942, as an emergency measure, the Nation shifted from 

standard time to "war time," and clock time in the several zones of the country was moved 

ahead 1 hour, or to 3 a.m. At 2 a.m., war time, on September 30, 1945, a change was made
PUBLICATIONS 5

back to standard time and clock time was moved back 1 hour, or to 1 a.m. This made September 30 a 25-hour day. Time given herein for the water year 1945 prior to the change on 

September 30 refers to war- time; time after the change refers to standard time. To convert 

war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour. Records of dally discharge prior to February 9, 

1943, were computed, and "those subsequent to September 30, 1945, will be computed on the 

basis of standard time; records between those dates were computed on the basis of war time. 

The discharge given for September 30, 1945, is the mean for 25 hours. The meen discharge 

and runoff for the month of September have been computed from the total second-foot-days 

for the month without adjustment for the fact that September 30 was a 25-hour day. The 

small error resulting from this procedure has been disregarded.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily on (1) the permanency of the stagedischarge relation or, if the control Is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements 

and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of flew, and interpretation of 

records.

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

records. "Excellent" indicates that, In general, the error in the daily records Is 

believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," probably more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean 

discharge and runoff are, in general, more accurate than the dally records.

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

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, Increase or decrease in evaporation 

due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of "second-feet per 

square mile" and "runoff in inches" are not published unless storage or diversion records 

are Included Indicating the extent of the regulation or diversion or unless satisfactory 

adjustments can be made for changes In contents or reservoirs or for other changes Incident 

to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir Is not Included in the adjustments for 

changes In reservoir contents, unless Its inclusion Is Indicated. Figures of second-feet 

per square mile and runoff In Inches are also omitted If Hie drainage area Includes large 

noncontrlbutlng areas or if the average annual rainfall over the drainage area 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 therefore the discharge recorded 

does not show the water supply available for further development, 9,8 prior appropriations 

below the station must first be satisfied.

The table of monthly discharge presents In summary the distribution of the flow past the 

station. The table of daily discharge affords opportunity for more detailed studies of the 

variation in flow. As further observations in each succeeding year may be expected to 

throw new light on data previously published, it should be borne In mind that such data are 

subject to revision In succeeding water-supply papers.

Papers on surface water supply containing records from 1899 to date, grouped by years 

and drainage basins, are listed by number on page 8. The data for any particular gaging 

station will, in general, be found in-the reports covering the years during which the 

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

area covered by part 3 are published in Water-supply Papers 383, 303, 323, 353, 403, 433, 

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

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

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

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

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

relative order as the streams and gaging stations in the body of the report. An Index of 

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

Each of the reports on surface water supply for the year 1939, Issued as Water-Supply 

Papers 871 to 884 (see table on p. 8), contains, for the area covered by that report, a 

summary of yearly discharge at gaging stations at which 10 or more complete years of 

record have been collected. These summaries are available also as separate reprints.

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
26 OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM

Ohio River at Bella!re, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°59'05", long. 80°44'20", in sec. 28, T. 2 N., 

ft. 2 w., 1.9 miles downstream from Baltimore & Ohio Railroad bridge at Bellalre, and 

at river mile 96.4. Datum of gage is 608.0 feet above mean sea level, unadjusted. 

Auxiliary water-stage recorder, 4.0 miles downstream, at datum 0,1 foot higher.

Drainage area.- 25,170 square miles.

Records available.- March 1939 to September 1945 (fragmentary prior to April 1941).

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge during year, 374,000 second-feet Mar. 8; maximum 

gage neignt, 44.92 feet Mar. 8; minimum discharge not determined.

1939-45: Maximum discharge, 412,000 second-feet Dec. 31, 1942; maximum gage height, 

48.99 feet Dec. 31, 1942; minimum discharge not determined.

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

relation, which are fair. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary 

water-stage recorder as a factor. Flow partly regulated by locks, dams, and reservoirs 

above station.

Cooperation.- Six discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

32 OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 

Ohio River at Ashland, Ky.

Location.- Water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff gage, lat. 38°27'20", long. 

82"36'30", at lock and dam 29 at Ashland, Boyd County, 2.8 miles downstrean from Big 

Sandy River. Datum of gage Is 483.12 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum. 

Auxiliary water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff gage at lock and dam 30, 

19.5 miles downstream. Datum of auxiliary Kage is 475.1 feet above mean" s^a level, Ohio 

River datum.

Drainage area.- 60,760 square miles at dam 29 (authority, U. S. V/eather Bureau). 

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1945 (fragmentary prior to October 1939).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 531,000 second-feet Mar. 9; maximum gage height, 

63.85 feet Mar. 9; minimum dally discharge, 7,970 second-feet Sept. 8.

1938-45: Maximum discharge, 587,000 second-fe^t Jan. 1, 1943; maximum gage height, 

that of Mar. 9, 1945: minimum dally discharge determined, 4.300 second-feet Oct. 19, 

1939.

Maximum stage known, 73.6 feet Jan. 27, 1937.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 50,000 second-feet, which are poor. Discharge 

computed during open-river periods (above 50,000 second-feet) by using fall as determined by four readings dally of auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Discharge computed for slack water (belojv 50,000 second-feet) by using fall as determined by auxiliary recorder as a factor. Base staff gage read four times dally during open river.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and 18 discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army.

Correction.- Description similar to above that was published In Water-Supply Paper 1003 

 was that for water year 1943 Instead of water year 1944. Equlpnent used in water year 

1944 was the same as that shown Jn Location paragraph above. The maximum discharge 

during water year 1944 was. 361,000 second-feet Apr. 14: maximum gage height, 48.1 feet 

Apr. 14; minimum discharge not determined.

Discharge, in sscond-feet, water year October 1944 to September 1945

Maximum stfege known, 75.3 feet Jan. 27, 1937 (discharge, 820,000 second-feet, 

estimated).

Remarks.- Records good except those for slack water periods, which are poor. Discharge 

for open-river periods computed by using fall as determined by four readings daily 

of auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Base staff gage read four times dally during 

open river.

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 39

Ohio River at Golconda, 111.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 37°21' f long. 88°29', at lock and dan 51, at Golconda, Pope 

county, half a mile upstream from Long Branch and 1 mile dovmstream from Loves Branch. 

Datum of gage is 294.6 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum. Auxiliary staff 

gage at lock and dam 50, 26.3 miles upstream. Datum of auxiliary gago is 301.1 feet 

above mean sea level, Ohio River datum.

Drainage area.- 143,900 square miles at dam 51 (authority, Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army). 

Records available.- October 1937 to September 1945 (fragmentary prior to October 1940).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,010,000 second-feet Mar. 14-16; maximum gage 

height, 53.2 feet Mar. 14, 15.

1937-45: Maximum discharge, that of Mar. 14-16, 1945; maximum gage height, that of 

Mar. 14, 15, 1945.

Maximum stage known, 62.6 feet Feb. 1-3, 1937; maximum discharge, 1,470,000 secondfeet Feb. 2, 3, 1937.

Renarks.- Records good except those for slack-water periods, which are poor. Discharge 

for open-river periods computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary staff gage 

as a factor. Gages read six times dally or more often.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and 29 discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed from plotted gage-height graph by Interpolation, or 

on basis of temperature records and records for Allegheny River at Red Houae and Senesee River at 

3clo.

d Doubtful gage-height recorfl; discharge computed on same basis as for periods of no gage-height 

record.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Jan. 22 to Feb. 8 (no gage-height record Jan. 

22-26, 28, Jan. 30 to Feb. 2)

Time basis: Eastern war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; eastern standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

Drainage area.- 816 square miles. 

Kecords available.- November 1939 to September 1945. 

Extremes ( regulated).- Maximum,- discharge during year, 9,670 second-feet Mar. 8 (gage

height, 8.92 reet); minimum, 99 second-feet Sept. 14 (gage height, 2.07 feet).

1939-45: Maximum discharge, 13,700 second-feet Mar. 19, 1942 (gage height, 10.68

feet); minimum not determined; Tilnimum daily, 58 second-feet Oct. 1, 2, 1941.

Flood In March 1936 reached a stage of 10.9 feet, from floodmark (discharge, 13,900

second-feet). 

Remarks.- Records good except tf>cse for periods of Ice effect or no gage-height record,

which are fair. Flow regulated by Chautauqua Lake. Some diurnal fluctuation caused

by mills above station.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 40°36'2011 , long. 79°33'15", at Vandergrift, Westnoreland County, a third of a mile upstream from highway bridge and 2 miles upstrean from 

Pine Run. Datum of gage is 769.40 feet above mean sea level (Corps of Engineers, U. S. 

Army, bench mark).

Drainage area.- 1,825 square miles.

Hecprds~ 7aTIable.- August 1937 to September 1945 in reports of Geological Survey. Gage 

heights r,nd discharge measurements only at site two-thirds of a mile downstream, October 

1920 "o September 1932, are contained in reports of Pennsylvania Department of Forests 

and Waters.

Extremes.- Tfeximum discharge during year, 64,700 second-feet (regulated) Mar. 7 (gage 

height, 25.34 feet); minimum, 359 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 3 (gage height, 3.31 

feet).

1937-45: Maximum discharge, 71,900 second-feet Mar. 31, 1940 (gage height, 25.70 

feet); minimum, 235 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 12, 1943 (gage height, 2.92 feet).

Maximum stage known, 41.64 feet Mar. 18, 1936, from floodmark at present site (discharge, 185,000 second-feet, by slope-area method).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Flow regulated by steel mills, Loyalhanna Creek Reservoir (see p. 79), and other reservoirs 

above station, the nine largest of which have a combined capacity of 2,108,300,000 cubic feet.

Cooperation.- Records of reservoir contents furnished by Bethlehem Steel Co., Johnstown 

water co. and Latrobe Water Co.

WaSKINGUM RIVER BASIN 167 

Reservoirs In Musklngum River Basin, Ohio

During the years 1935 to 1938, the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, constructed 14 dams 

on the Musklngum River and tributaries for the Musklngum Watershed Conservancy District. 

The reservoirs created by these dams are used mainly for flood control, but at 11 of them 

a conservation pool Is maintained for emergency water supply for domestic and Industrial 

uses, to maintain sanitary stream conditions during periods of extreme low flow, and for 

recreational and wildlife conservation purposes.

There are no gates on spillways of the dams, except at Senecavllle. All regulation Is 

done by gates In tunnels through the dams, except at Beach City and Charles Mill, where 

there are also bypass gates In the conservation weir; at Senecavllle, regulation at higher 

stages can be assisted by operation of Hi-foot talntor gates on spillway.

The total capacity of these reservoirs at spillway level Is 1,539,000 acre-feet, of 

which 211,400 acre-feet Is retained In the conservation pools.

The Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, assumed operation of the reservoirs on Aug. 13, 

1939, and furnished gage-height records and capacity curves used to compute data contained 

herein.

Peak discharge.- Oct. 1 (6 a.m.) 16,800 sec.-ft.; Oct. 21 (2:30 a.m.) 26,300 sec.-ft.; Feb. 18 

(4 p.m.) 14,700 sec.-ft.; May 18 (4 p.m.) 32,200 sec.-ft.; Sept. 18 (llsSO a.m.) 54,700 sec»-ft.

Time basisi Eastern war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; eastern standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
KANAWHA RIVER BASIN 

New River at Radford, Va.

221

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°0.8', long. 80°34', at Radford, Ifcntgomery County, 

2,000 feet downstream from bridge on U. e* Highway 11, 5 miles downstream from Little 

River, and 5t miles downstream from Claytor Dam. Datum of gage Is 1,712.36 feet above 

mean sea level, datum of 1929. Drainage area.- 2,748 square miles.

Records avaiiaplei.- August 1939 to September 1945 in reports of Geological Survey. October 

1907 to September 1915 (revised records) in Bulletin 31, Virginia Geological Survey. 

August 1898 to September 1907, published in reports of Geological Survey and Bulletins 

3 and 10 of the Virginia Geological Survey, believed to be unreliable because of doubtful gage-height record. Gage-height records collected at same site since 1895, but at 

different datum, are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Average discharge.- 14 years [1907-15, 1939-45}, 3,740 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- mxflnum discharge during year, 62,700 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 18 (gage 

height, 17.0 feet); minimum, 208 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 5 (gage height, 1.15 

feet): minimum daily, 1,080 second-feet Sept. 3.

1907-15. 1939-4E: Maximum discharge, 218,000 second-feet Aug. 14, 1940 (gage height, 

35.96 feet), from rating curve extended above 73,000 second-feet on basis of records for 

other stations on New River and flow over Claytor Dam (computed by Appalachian Electric 

Power Co.); minimum, 165 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 25, 27, 1944 (gage height, 1.08 

feet).

Floods of Sept. 15, 1878, and July 16, 1916. reached stages of 37.4 and 35.7 feet, 

respectively, at site and datum used by Geological Survey 1904-7, from reports of 

U. S. weather Bureau.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are 

rair. Flow regulated by Claytor Reservoir (capacity, 224,000 acre-feet). Some additional regulation at low flow by dam and power plant on Little River, half a mile above 

mouth.

Cooperation.- Records of contents in Claytor Reservoir furnished by Appalachian Electric 

Power Co.

1921-45: Maximum discharge, 39,600 second-feet Mar. 21, 1927 (gage height, 24.7 

feet); minimum, 42 second-feet Sept. 6, 1930.

Maximum stage known, 25.9 feet Mar. 25, 1913 (discharge, 138,000 second-feet, 

estirated by Franklin County Conservancy District). This stage is not comparable 

with present gage heights because of subsequent channel Improvement and levee 

construction.

Remarks.- Records good. Flow regulated by O'Shaughnessy and Griggs Reservoirs for 

municipal supply of city of Columbus (see p. 285). Diversion for water supply made 

several niles above gage; sewage return flow normally is discharged at gage and is 

included in flow past gage.

of gage Is 462.10 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929. Auxiliary staff gage at 

lock 5, at Tyrone, 16.3 miles upstream. Datum of auxiliary gage Is 461.52 feet above 

mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 5,430 square miles. Including that of Benson Creek.

Records available.- March 1905 to July 1906 (gage heights only). October 1925 to September 

15)45 (fragmentary October 1940 to September 1942), Include flow of Benson Creek.

Average discharge.- 16 years (1925-30, 1932-40, 1942-45), 7,289 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Haxlinum discharge during year, 78,400 second-feet Mar. 7; maximum gage height, 

as.38 feet Mar. 7; minimum dally discharge, 272 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 8.

1925-45: Maximum discharge, 89,500 second-feet Jan. 23, 1937; maximum gage height, 

47.46 feet Jan. 25, 1937, from floodmarks at site 0.9 mile downstream; minimum discharge" not determined»

Remarks.- Records good except those below 1,000 second-feet and those for periods of 

doubtful gage-height record, which are poor. Discharges below 1.000 second-feet are 

affected by diversion to mill opposite lock. Flow regulated by hydro-electric plants 

on Dlx River (Herrlngton Lake capacity, 134,000 acre-feet) and at lock 7 on Kentucky 

River. Auxiliary gage read thrice dally.

Cooperation.- Gage-height records and 13 discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

engineers, 0. S. Army, Records of change In reservoir contents furnished by Kentucky 

Utilities Co.

from Pleasant Run, 1,200 feet downstream from mill dam, 3.3 miles downstream from 

Rock Lick Creek, and 7.4 miles downstream from base gage. Datum of low-water gage Is 

418.15 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 449 square miles at site of base gage; 500 square miles at site of lowwater gage.

Records available.- January 1940 to September 1945.

Extremes.- Ifexlmum discharge during year, 9,710 second-feet Feb. 27 (gage height, 27.04 

feet); minimum dally discharge, 10 second-feet Nov. 12, Dec. 24, but may have been 

less during period of no gage-height record.

1940-45: Ifexlmum discharge, that of Feb. 27, 1945; minimum dally discharge, 6 

second-feet Aug. 13, 1944.

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods of doubtful or no gage-height record, 

which are poor. Unless otherwise noted, records above 1,000 second-feet computed for 

base gage, and records below 1,000 second-feet computed for low-water gage. Diurnal 

fluctuation at low flow caused by mill at Falls of Rough. Auxiliary gage read twice 

dally.

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

k Computed by using rate of change of stage as a factor.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 13 to Jan. 13, Jan. 25, Jan. 27 to Feb. 11. 

Intakes partially plugged Mar. 3-26 and Sept. 28-30; discharge computed from graph based on twicedaily chain-gage readings and shape of recorder graph.

Time basis: Central war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; central standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

WABASH RIVER BASIN 425

West Fork White River near Nora, Ind.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°54', long. 86°06', In sec. 20, T. 17 N. R. 4 E 

at highway bridge, 2 miles east of Nora and 14 miles upstream from Fall Creekl Datum'' 

of gage Is 710.94 feet above mea^ sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army). Auxiliary water-stage recorder at dam 3f miles downstream, at different datum.

Drainage area.- 1,190 square miles.

Rec°ras available.- April 1930 to September 1945 In reports of Geological Survey July 

1925 to September 1926 and October 1929 to March 1930 In reports of Indiana Department 

of Conservation.

Average discharge.- 16 years (1925-26, 1930-45), 960 second-feet.

extremes.- naximum discharge during year, 11,100 second-feet June 19 (gage height 12 66 

feetj; minimum dally, 95 second-feet Jan. 31, Feb. 1; minimum gage height, 1.69 feet

1925-26. 1929-45: Maximum discharge, 32,400 second-feet May 19, 1943 (gage height 

18.19 feet); minimum, 36 second-feet Sept. 10, 1936; minimum tially, 43 second-feet 

Sept. 29, 1941; minimum gage height, 1.20 feet Sept. 5, 1936.

Flood of Mar. 26, 1913, reached a stage of 22.4 feetj from floodmarks, determined by 

Indiana State Highway Commission.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect, which are fair. Backwater 

fron dam of Indianapolis Water Co., 3f miles below station, affects stage-discharge relation during some periods of low and medium flow; discharge computed by using fall as 

determined by auxiliary gage as a factor. Slight regulation at times during low flow by 

power plant near Noblesvllle.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record for auxiliary gage furnished by Indianapolis Water Co.

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of records for Little Wabash Hiver at Wilcox 

and Bonpas Creek at Browns.

c Backwater from debria on control; 'discharge computed on basis of 1 discharge measurement, shape 

of gage-height graph, and records for Little Wabash Hiver at Wilcox and Bonpas Creek at Browns.

k Computed by using rate of change of stage as a factor.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 21 to Jan. 13.

Time basis; Central war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; central standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
452 SALINE RIVER BASIN

' Saline River near Junction, 111.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°41'52", long. 88°16'00", In NEi sec. 36, T. 9 

S., K. 8 E., at old Island Ripple Bridge site 2ir miles southwest of Junction, 4 miles 

downstream from North Fork, and 13f miles upstream from mouth. Auxiliary water-stage 

recorder 34 miles downstream at Eagle Ripple Ford and 200 feet downstream from Eagle 

Creek. Datum of each gage Is 320.72 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1907.

Drainage area.- 1,040 square miles.

Records available.- October 1939 to September 1945.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 37,400 second-feet Mar. 19; maximum gage height, 

44.03 feet Mar. 17, affected by backwater from Ohio River; minimum discharge during 

non-backwater periods, 1.2 second-feet Oct. 26-28, 30.

1939-45: Maximum discharge, that of Mar. 19, 1945; maximum gage height, that of 

Mar. 17, 1945; maximum dally reversed flow, 3,210 second-feet Apr. 28, 1940; minimum 

discharge during non-backwater periods, 0.9 second-foot Sept. 22, 23, 1944;° minimum 

gage height, 1.01 feet Sept. 25-28, 1941.

Maximum stage known, about 55.8 feet In February 1937, affected by backwater from 

Ohio River.

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods of extremely flat slopes and those for 

periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Backwater from Ohio River frequently causes reversal of flow at station, and occasionally, at extremely high 

stages, causes diversion from Wabash River to Saline River .lust above station.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1944 to September 1945

a Ho gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of records for nearby stations, gage-height 

record for Ohio River at dam 49, and 1 discharge measurement. 

e Extremely flat alope; discharge computed from approximate stage-fall-discharge relation.

k Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary water-stage recorder as a factor.

Note.- Figures of discharge in second-feet per square mile and runoff in inches for some months 

do not represent natural yield owing to changes in channel storage caused by backwater from Ohio 

River.

Time basis! Central war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; central standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
TRADEWATER RIVER BASIN 453

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°13'35", long. 87°46'45", at highway bridge at 

Olney, Hopklns County, 1.1 miles upstream from.Cave Creek, 5.1 miles downstream from 

Flynn Creek, and 9i miles northeast of Prlnceton. Datum of gage Is 362.80 feet above 

mean sea level, adjustment of 1907.

Drainage area.- 255 square miles.

Records available.- August 1940 to September 1945.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,320 second-feet In January (gage height, 

about 15 feet, from floodmark); minimum, no flow Sept. 3-8, 17-19; minimum gage 

height recorded, 1.43 feet Sept. 8.

1940-45: Maximum discharge, 5,180 second-feet Apr. 11, 1942 (gage height, 15.9 

feet, from graph based on gage readings); no flow at times: minimum gage height observed, 1.08 feet Oct. 26, 27, 1940.

Maximum stage known, 19.27 feet In January 1937, from floodmarks (discharge, 

17,000 second-feet, by slope-area method).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are poor.

462 CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN

Cumberland River at Nashville, Tenn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°09'45", long. 85°46'17", at Sparkman Street 

Bridge in Nashville, Davidson County, 2.7 miles upstream from lock and dam 1 and 

3.3 miles downstream from Mill Creek. Datum of gage is 368.17 feet above mean sea 

level, Sandy Hook datum. Auxiliary gage is upper staff gage at lock 1. Datum of 

auxiliary gage is 367.83 feet above mean sea level, Sandy Hook datum.

Drainage area.- 12,860 square miles.

Records available,.- January 1902 to December 1904 (gage heights only) and October 1918 

to September 1945 in reports of Geological Survey. October 1887 to September 1924 

in Tennessee Division of Geology Bulletin 34. Records prior to October 1892 subject 

to error due to uncertainty of gage datum.

Average discharge.- 58 years (1887-1945), 20,160 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 124,000 second-feet Feb. 23; maximum gage height, 

44.68 feet Feb. 23; minimum daily discharge, 698 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 26; minimum gage height, 9.19 feet Sept. 10.

1887-1945: Maximum discharge, 203,000 second-feet Jan. 1, 1927 (gage height, 56.2 

feet); minimum daily, 60 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 19, 1935; minimum gage height observed, 6.1 feet Oct. 19, 1935.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of crest wicket manipulation at dan 1,

which are fair. Some regulation by Dale Hollow and Great Falls Reservoirs (see p. 465). 

Auxiliary gage read three times daily.

Cooperation.- Water-stage recorder graph, auxiliary gage readings, record of wicket 

manipulation, and 17 discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S. 

Army.

45.88- feet Feb. 17, 1939; minimum daily discharge, 438 second-feet Oct. 24, 25, 1940, 

caused by manipulation of wickets at navigation dams; minimum gage height observed,

1916-37: Maximum gage height observed, 56.8 feet Jan. 25, 1937, at lock D; minimum

observed, 6.8 feet In September 1925, at lock D. Both extremes from unpublished

records of Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army. 

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of backwater from crest wickets, which are

fair. Lock D and auxiliary gages read four times dally, some regulation by Dale Hollow

and Great Falls Reservoirs (see p. 465). 

Cooperation.- Water-stage recorder graph, auxiliary gage readings, record of wicket manipulation, and nine discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers U. S.

Army.

Hote.- Backwater from crest wickets Oct. 11 to Nov. 21, Dec. 1-25, June 4-9, June 23 to Sept. 30; 

discharge computed using weir formula and leakage between wickets. Discharge computed using fall as 

a factor Oct. 3-8, Jan. 4-13, 22-28, Feb. 24 to Apr. 9, May 13-24.

Time baaisi Central war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; central standard time thereafter, 

'ic convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
464 CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN

Cumberland River at Smlthland, Ky.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°08'45", long. 80°24'25", at bridge on U. Q. 

Highway 60 at Smlthland, Llvlngston County, 1 mile downstream from McCormick Creek 

and 2.8 miles upstream from mouth. Prior to Aug. 4, 1945, wire-weight gage at same 

site. Auxiliary water-stage recorder at Dycusburg, Crlttenden County, 16.8 miles 

upstream from base gage. Oct. 1 to Nov. 20, 1944, staff gage at same silje. Prior 

to Oct. 1, 1944, wire-weight gage at Illinois Central Railroad bridge at Eureka, 

28.7 miles upstream from base gage. Datum of each gage Is 300.00 feet above mean 

sea level, Sandy Hook datum. Low-water staff gage above spillway at lock and dam F, 

40.8 miles upstream from base gage. Datum of gage Is 302.86 feet above mean sea 

level, Sandy Hook datum.

Drainage area.- 18,080 square miles.

Records available.- February 1939 to September 1945 (fragmentary prior to October 1943).

Extremes.- rfeximum discharge during year, 146,000 second-feet Mar. 4; maximum gage

height, 40.60 feet Mar. 11, from graph based on gage readings; minimum dally discharge, 

983 second-feet Sept. 12.

1939-45: Maximum discharge, 170,000 second-feet Feb. 18, 1939; maximum gage 

height, that of Mar. 11, 1945; minimum discharge not determined. 

Maximum stage known, 51.1 feet January to February 1937.

Remarks.- Records good above 15,000 second-feet and fair below. Discharges above 10,000 

second-feet computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary gage as a factor; discharges below 10,000 second-feet computed by using low-water gage at lock and dam F 

with wicket operation at dam as a factor. Base gage read thrice dally prior to 

Aug. 4; auxiliary gage, twice dally Oct. 1 to Nov. 20; and low-water gage, four times 

dally.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record for lock and dam F and record of wicket manipulations 

furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

from Great Falls Reservoir. Datum of gage is 496.44 feet above mean sea level, Sandy 

Hook datum.

Drainage area.- 2,100 square miles.

Records available.- November 1922 to September 1945.

Average discharge!- 22 years (1923-45), 3,543 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 50,900 second-feet Feb. 18; maximum gage height, 

30.75 feet Feb. 18; minimum daily discharge, 240 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 25.

1922-45: Maximum discharge, 178,000 second-feet Mar. 23, 1929, by slope-area method; 

maximum gage height, 58.6 feet Mar. 23, 1929, present site and datum, from floodmarks; 

minimum daily discharge, 25 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 4, 25, 26, 1924, Sept. 30, 1925. 

Maximum stage known, that of Mar. 23, 1929.

good. Low flow regulated by Great Falls Reservoir (see p. 465), and by small power 

plant on Falling Water River.

Rating tables, water year 1944-45, except periods computed by using

rate of change of stage as a factor (gage height, in feet, and

discharge, in se.cond-feet)

TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN 499

French Broad River at Bent Creek, N. C.

Location (revised).- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°30'07", long. 82°35 I 35", 50 feet flovmstream from. Bent Creek, 6 miles upstream from Hominy Creek, and 7 miles south of 

Asheville, Buncombe County. Datum of gage is 1,995.95 feet above mean sea level, datum 

of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 676 square miles.

Records available.- May 1934 to September 1945.

Average discharge.- 11 years, 1,580 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 6.200 second-feet Sept. 17 (gage height, 6.34 

reet;; minimum, 518 second-feet Oct. 29 (gage height, 2.46- feet).

1934-45: Maximum discharge, 23,600 second-feet Aug. 14, 1940 (gage height, 12.6 

feet); minimum, 355 second-feet Oct. 13, 1941 (gage height, 2.22 feet).

Maximum stage known, about 27.3 feet July 15, 1916, from floodmarks. Flood of 

August 1928 reached a stage of about 16.1 feet, from floodmarks.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for period of shifting control, which are good, 

ana those for period of ice effect or no gage-height record, which are fair. Diurnal 

fluctuation at low.flow caused by power plant above station.

of auxiliary gage is 725.58 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 12,220 square miles.

Records available.- October 1922 to September 1945. Gage-height records collected In 

same vicinity since 1884 are contained In reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Average discharge.- 23 years, 18,480 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 51,100 second-feet (regulated) Feb. 18; maximum 

gage height, 15.40 feet Oct. 1; minimum dally discharge, 4,9*00 second-feet (regulated) 

May 20; minimum gage height, 8.15 feet Mar. 20.

feet); minimum daily, 2,260 second-feet Sept. 12, 1925; minimum gage height, 0.82 foot 

Sept. 12, 1925, site and datum then in use.

Flood of Mar. 5, 1917, reached a stage of 32.9 feet, present site and datum (discharge, 225,000 second-feet, from rating curve extended above 151,000 second-feet). 

U. S. Weather Bureau reports stages of 49.7 feet Mar. 10 or 11, 1867, 42.7 feet 

Feb. 27, 1875, and 34.9 feet Mar. 31, 1886, present site and datum. Flood of Mar. 31, 

1886, may have reached a higher stage; no readings obtained that year after Mar. 31.

Remarks.- Records good. Discharge computed using fall as determined by auxiliary waterstage recorder as a factor. Flow regulated by many reservoirs above station.
