SCOPE OP WORK

This volume is one of a series of 18 reports presenting measurements of stage, discharge, and content of streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the water 

year ending September 30, 1958. Since 1888, when the United States Geological Survey first 

studied streamflow in relation to problems of irrigation, similar measurements have been 

made at more than 14,000 gaging stations in the 48 States and at many others in the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. On September 30, 1958, the Geological Survey and cooperating 

organizations were maintaining 7,090 gaging stations, including those in Alaska and Hawaii. 

Partial-record stations for low flow or for flood flow have been operated at mary other 

points. In addition discharge measurements are made at miscellaneous sites. Tl~e records 

for the water year October 1, 1957, to September 30, 1958, at gaging stations, partialrecord stations, and miscellaneous sites in the North Atlantic slope basins, New York to 

York River, are given in this report.

Information of a more detailed nature than that published for most of the gaging stations given in this report is on file in the district offices listed above. All gagingstation records for the State of Virginia and some records for the Delaware River basin 

have been analyzed by electronic computer to give: (1) the number of days in each year 

that the daily discharge was between selected limits (duration tables); and (2) the 

lowest mean discharge for periods of 7, 15, 30, 60, 120, and 183 consecutive days in each 

year. Provisional records of discharge, information on the availability of electronic 

computer results, and other unpublished data concerning the gaging-station records may 

generally be obtained from the district office.

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS

The terms of strearaflow and other hydrologic data, as used in this report, are defined 

as follows:

Gaging station is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where systematic observations of gage height or discharge are obtained. When used in connection with 

a discharge record, the term is applied herein only to those gaging stations where a continuous record of discharge is obtained.

Partial-record station is a particular site where limited streamflow data are collected 

systematically over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses.

Cubic foot per second (cfs) is the rate of discharge of a stream whose channel is 

1 square foot in cross-sectional area and whose average velocity is 1 foot per second.

Cubic feet per second per square mile (cfsm) is the average number of cubic feet of 

water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, assuming that tVe runoff 

is distributed uniformly in time and area.

Runoff in Inches (in.) shows the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if 

all the runoff for a given time period were uniformly distributed on it.

Acre-foot (ac-ft) is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 

1 foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet.

Cfs-day is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 cubic foot per second 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 the relation between gage height and the amount of water 

flowing in a channel, expressed as volume per unit of time.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 1-B

Control designates a feature downstream from the gage that determines the stagedischarge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural constriction of the 

channel, a long reach of the channel, or an artificial structure.

Contents is the volume of water in a reservoir. Unless otherwise indicated, volume is 

computed on the basis of a level pool and does not include bank storage.

The drainage area of a stream at a specified location is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, which is so enclosed by a topographic divide that direct surface runoff from 

precipitation normally would drain by gravity into the river above the specified point. 

Figures of drainage area given herein include all closed basins, or nonccntributing areas, 

within the area unless otherwise noted.

WSP is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper" in references to previously 

published reports.

DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBERS

Beginning with the series of reports for the water year ending September 30, 1951, the 

order of listing gaging-station records was changed. In this report, in a downstream 

direction along the main stem all stations on a tributary entering above a main-stem station are listed before that station. If a tributary enters between two main-stem stations, 

it is listed between them. A similar order is followed in listing stations on first rank, 

second rank, and other ranks of tributaries. To indicate the rank of any tributary on 

which a gaging station is situated and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, 

each indention in the listing of gaging stations in the table of contents of this report 

represents one rank. This downstream order and system of indention show which gaging 

stations are on tributaries between any two stations on a main stem and the rank of the 

tributary on which each gaging station is situated.

The order of listing used before the publication of the 1951 report listed first all 

stations on the main stem from headwaters toward mouth, then all stations on the uppermost 

tributary to the main stem from the tributary's source to mouth, and then all stations 

from source to mouth of the uppermost tributary to the tributary.

As an added means of identification, each gaging station and partial-record station has 

been assigned a station number. The numbers have been assigned in the sa-ne downstream 

order used in this report. In assigning station numbers, no distinction is made between 

partial-record stations and regular gaging stations, so that the station number for a 

partial-record station indicates downstream-order position in a list made up of both types 

of stations. Gaps are left in the numbers to allow for new stations that may be established; hence the numbers are not consecutive. The complete number for each station has 

eight digits, but the station number as shown in this report, just to the left of the 

station name, consists of only the essential digits of the complete number. For example, 

for a station with the complete number IB-3210.00, the station number sho-m in this report 

is 3210. The notation in the two places to the left of the hyphen is the part number; it 

is IB for all stations in this report, with one exception, and is therefore omitted. The 

exception is station No. 4-2520.00, Black River Canal (flowing south) near Boonville, 

N. Y., which diverts from Black River in the St. Lawrence River basin to the Hudson River 

basin. This station was numbered as a Part 4 station; the "4-" is therefore included in 

the station number shown in this report.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 1-B 5 

EXPLANATION OP DATA

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

of discharge. In addition, observations of factors affecting the stage-discharge relation, weather records, and other information are used to supplement base data in determining the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct readings on a 

nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter by the general methods 

adopted by the Geological Survey on the basis of experience in stream gaging since 1888. 

These methods are described in Water-Supply Paper 888 and are also outlined in standard 

textbooks on the measurement of stream discharge.

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

relation curves defined by discharge measurements. If extensions to the ratirg curves are 

necessary to define the extremes of discharge, they are made on the basis of indirect 

measurements of peak discharge (such as slope-area or contracted-opening measurements, 

computation of flow over dams or weirs, and by other methods), velocity-area studies, and 

logarithmic plotting. 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 ir applying 

the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharge relation for a station is 

temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control, the daily 

mean discharge is computed by what is essentially the shifting-control method.

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by backwater from reservoirs, tributary streams, or other sources. This necessitates the use of the slope 

method in which the slope or fall in a reach of the stream is a factor in determining 

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 stagedischarge relation is affected by changing stage. If so, the rate of change in 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 b;r ice during 

the winter, and it becomes 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 other stations in the same or nearby basins. If the 

stage-discharge relation is affected by ice, this information is given in a note to the 

table. No mention is made of occasional days of ice effect if the degree of accuracy of 

daily records is not changed.

The data herein presented generally comprise a description of the station , a skeleton 

rating table , and a table showing the daily discharge and monthly and yearly discharge 

of the stream. Records are published for the water year which begins on October 1 and 

ends on September 30. A calendar for the water year 1958 ia shown on page IV for the 

purpose of finding the day of the week for any date.

notations of revisions of the previously published record. The location of the gaging 

station and the drainage area are obtained from the most accurate maps available. River 

mileage, given under "Location" for some stations, is that determined and used by the 

Corps of Engineers unless otherwise noted. Under "Records available" are given periods 

for which there are published records generally equivalent to those at the present site. 

Under "Gage" are given the type of gage currently in use and the datum of the present 

gage above mean sea level, and a condensed history of the types, locations, and datums 

of previous gages used during the period of records available. Under "Average discharge" 

is given the average discharge for the number of years indicated. It is not given for 

stations having fewer than five complete years of record or for stations wh?re changes 

in water development during the period of record cause the figure to have little significance. Under "Extremes" are given the maximum discharge and gage height; fie minimum 

discharge if there is little or no regulation; the minimum daily discharge if there is 

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

(unless it is of no importance). In the first paragraph, the data given are for the 

complete current water year unless otherwise specified. In the second paragraph, the 

data given are for the periods of record within the calendar year dates in the heading 

(not necessarily those for the complete years indicated by the heading dates). Reliable 

information concerning major floods that have occurred outside the period of record is 

given In the third or last paragraph under "Extremes." Unless otherwise qualified, the 

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

a crest-stage indicator, or a nonrecoi-ding gage read at the time of the crest. If the 

maximum gage height did not occur at the same time as the maximum discharge, it is given 

separately. Information pertaining to the accuracy of the records and conditions which 

affect the natural flow at the gaging station is given under "Remarks."

Previously published records of some stations have been found to be in error on the 

basis of data or information later obtained. Revisions of such records are usually published along with the current records in one of the annual reports. In order to make it 

easier to find such revised records, a paragraph headed "Revisions (water years)" has been 

added to the description of all stations for which revised records have beer published. 

Listed therein are all the reports in which revisions have been published, each followed 

by the water years for which figures are revised In that report. In listing the water 

years only one number is given; for instance, 1933 stands for the water year October 1, 

1932, to September 30, 1933. If no daily, monthly, or annual figures of discharge are 

concerned in the revision, that fact Is brought out by notations after the year dates as 

follows: "(M)" means that only the Instantaneous maximum discharge was revised; "(m)" 

that only the instantaneous minimum was revised; and "(P)" that only peak discharges were 

revised. If the drainage area has been revised, the report in which the revised figure 

was first published is given. It should be noted that for all stations for which cubic 

feet per second per square mile and runoff in Inches are published, a revision of the 

drainage area necessitates corresponding revision of all figures based on th.3 drainage 

area. Revised figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches 

resulting from a revision of the drainage area only are usually not publishel in the 

annual series of reports.
EXPLANATION OF DATA 7

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

discharge for the greater part of the open-water period was determined by the shiftingcontrol method, the slope method, or other special methods Involving an equivalent adjustment to the gage height of more than one-tenth foot. Skeleton rating tables are generally 

not published for stations on canals.

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

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

dally mean gage height. POP stations subject to such fluctuation the dally meai 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 nonrecording gages, the table of daily discharge gives the 

discharge corresponding to once-daily readings of the gage, or to the mean of tvice-daily 

readings, or to the mean gage height determined from gage-height graphs based on gage 

readings. For periods of rapidly changing stage, the daily mean discharge is determined 

from gage-height graphs based on gage readings, the frequency of which is stated in the 

station description.

In the table of daily discharge, the figures for the maximum day and the mirimum day 

for each month are underlined. If the figure is repeated, it is underlined only on the 

first day of its occurrence.

In the monthly summary below the daily table, the line headed "Total" gives the sum of 

the daily figures; it Is the total cfs-days for the month. The line headed "Mean" gives 

the average flow in cubic feet per second during the month. Discharge for the month may 

be expressed in cubic feet per second per square mile (line headed "Cfsm"), or in inches 

(line headed "In."), or in acre-feet (line headed "Ac-ft"). Figures for cubic feet per 

second per square mile and runoff in inches are omitted if the drainage area includes 

large noneontributing areas, or if the average annual rainfall over the drainage basin is 

usually less than 20 inches.

In the yearly summary below the monthly summary, the figures of maximum are the maximum 

daily discharges, not the momentary discharges when the water was at crest stage. Likewise, the minimums in this summary are the minimum daily discharges.

Peak discharges and the times of their occurrence and corresponding gage heights of 

most stations are listed below the table of daily and monthly discharge. All independent 

peaks above the selected base are given. The base discharge, which is given in parentheses, is selected so that an average of about three peaks a year will be presented. 

Peak discharges are not published for canals, ditches, drains, or for any stream for which 

the peaks are subject to substantial control by man.

Footnotes to the table of daily discharge indicate periods when discharge was computed 

or estimated by unusual or special methods during periods of no gage-height record and ice 

effect, or by other effects that reduce the degree of accuracy of the records. Days on 

which discharge measurements were made are indicated by asterisk and footnote unless they 

were made at frequent regular intervals, in which instance the general frequency of discharge measurements is given under "Remarks" in the station description.

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
8 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 1-B

a table showing daily contents or stage is given. A skeleton table of capacity at given 

stages is published each year for all reservoirs for which records are published on a 

daily basis, but is not published for reservoirs for which only monthly data are given.

At many gaging stations water samples are collected from the streams for the purpose of 

making chemical analyses, computing dissolved solids, suspended sediment lo'sds, and 

particle-size distribution, or measuring water temperatures. For most of these samples 

the results are published in an annual series of water-supply papers entitled "Quality of 

Surface Waters of the United States" which is issued in four volumes. In this report 

under "Remarks" a reference is made to quality-of-water records collected at gaging stations on a regular basis and published in the qualifcy-of-water reports. At many other 

gaging stations quality-of-water data are obtained at irregular intervals aid published 

as "miscellaneous analyses" in quality-of-water reports; such records are not referred to 

in "Remarks" paragraph in this report. At many gaging stations water temperature is 

obtained also at the time a discharge measurement is made; such temperature readings are 

not reported in the quality-of-water annual reports.

Data collected at partial-record stations and at miscellaneous sites are given at the 

end of each report. Partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The first is a 

table of discharge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations, and the second is a 

table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. Discharge measurements at miscellaneous sites are given in a third table. Occasionally, a series of discharge measurements are made within a short time period to investigate the seepage gains 

or losses along a reach of a stream or to determine the low-flow characteristics of an 

area. Such measurements are given in special tables after the list of measurements at 

miscellaneous sites.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of streamflow data depends primarily on (1) the stability 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 discharge, ard interpretation of records.

The station description states the degree of accuracy of the records. "F.xcellent" 

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 nearly accurate than the daily records.

Discharge at some stations, as indicated by the monthly mean, may vary widely from 

natural runoff, owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease in evaporation due to artificial causes, or to other factors. For such stations, 

figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and of runoff in inches are not published 

unless satisfactory adjustments can be made for diversions, for changes in contents of 

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 it is so 

stated. Even at those stations where adjustments are made, large errors in computed runoff may occur when relatively large negative adjustments are made or when evaporation is 

large in comparison with the observed discharge.
PUBLICATIONS

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 actually show the water supply available at the stations for further envelopment, 

because water must first be supplied to existing irrigation systems.

PTJBLI CATIONS

To facilitate publication of the annual series of reports, the area of the United 

States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural drainage 

lines. Formerly, the results of streamflow measurements were published in 14 volumes, one 

for each of the 14 parts. Beginning with the reports for 1951, the records are published 

in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. The boundaries of the 

various parts are indicated by the following list and the map in figure 1.

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports extend over many years. 

Discharge measurements at many points other than regular gaging stations have been made 

each year and are published at the end of each report. The streams and points of measurement are listed in the same order as the streams and gaging stations in the body of the 

report. An index of the records obtained before 1904 has been published in Water-Supply 

Paper 119.

Each of the reports on the surface-water supply for the year 1939 (Water-Supply Paper 

871 for the North Atlantic slope basins, New York to York River) contains, for the area included in that report, a summary of yearly discharge at gaging stations at which 10 or more 

complete years of record had been collected. These summaries were reprinted separately.

Reports also 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 may have been revised), as well as some records not contained in the 

annual series of water-supply papers. The following table lists reports of this type for 

the North Atlantic slope basins, New York to York River.

Note. In addition to the records contained In the reports listed above, the following States have 

issued annual or biennial reports in which are contained records of discharge: New York (also Board 

of Water Supply, City of New York) and Pennsylvania.

The reports listed in the foregoing tables contain the customary records of discharge 

collected during the systematic operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on the

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

The drought which began during July 1957 continued serious until late ir December, when 

it was relieved by heavy rains and warm temperatures. During the rest of the 1958 water 

year, runoff was excessive in most parts of the area; an exception was in central New York, 

where runoff was deficient in March and August. Streamflow was record high for the month 

at the gaging station on Great Egg Harbor River at Polsom, N. J., during March, May, and 

August. Monthly mean discharge of Potomac River at Paw Paw, W. Va., was record high for 

May.

Floods in Delaware and eastern Maryland on August 26 resulted in the maximum discharge 

at several gaging stations with 15 years of record. Damaging local floods on small 

streams in central and southwestern Virginia occurred during August.

Figure 2, on page 15, for which records of three long-term gaging stations were used, 

shows a comparison of the monthly and yearly mean discharges for the 1958 water year with 

the median discharge for the period 1921-45.

BLIND BROOK BASIN 

3000. Blind Brook at Rye, N. Y.

Location. Lat 40°59'00", long 73°41'15", on left bank at Rye, Westchester County, Just 

upstream from Theodore Fremd Avenue Bridge, a quarter of a mile southwest from New 

York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad station and 0.85 mile upstream from mean high 

water in Milton Harbor.

Drainage area. 9.20 sq mi.

Records available. November 1943 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 13.05 ft above mean 

sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by city of Rye).

Average discharge . 14 years (1944-58), 15.70 cfs .

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 576 cfs Feb. 28 (gage height, 4.97 ft); minimum, 

0.29 cfs Aug. 10 (gage height, 0.85 ft, from recorded range in stage).

1943-58: Maximum discharge, 1,360 cfs Oct. 16, 1955 (gage height, 9.62 ft); minimum, 0.12 cfs July 5, 1953 (gage height, 0.805 ft), result of temporary regulation.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of no gage-height record or those 

below 1 cfs, which are good, and those for period of ice effect, which are fair. Medium and high flows affected by detention reservoir 2 miles above station (capacity, about 

26 acre-ft at spillway level or 50 acre-ft at crest of concrete dam).

STREAMS ON LONG ISLAND 21 

3025. Cedar Swamp Creek at Glen Cove, N. Y.

Location. Lat 40 0 51'45", long 73°38'05", on right bank just downstream from highway 

bridge at 8- by 10-foot concrete culvert outlet at pond in Pratt Park, one block west 

of post office, Glen Cove, Nassau County.

Drainage area. --About 11 sq mi.

Records available. October 1938 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 15.93 ft above mean 

sea level, adjustment of 1912. Prior to Sept. 10, 1957, at same site at datum 0.06 ft 

lower.

Average discharge. --20 years, 7.46 cf s .

Extremes . --Maximum discharge during year, 585 cfs Apr. 6 (gage height, 4.432 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 220 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 4.75 cfs Nov. 27, 

28; minimum gage height, 0.688 ft Oct. 5.

1938-58: Maximum discharge, 1,040 cfs Aug. 12, 1955 (gage height, 5.62 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 220 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 3.34 cfs Nov. 15, 

1946 (gage height, 0.583 ft), flow reduced temporarily, cause unknown.

Remarks . Records excellent except those for periods of shifting control, backwater from 

debris, or no gage-height record, which are fair. This station is operated in connection with an inventory of water resources on Long Island. In addition to records of 

streamflow, records of ground-water levels are collected, some of which are published 

in water-supply papers. See page 535 for results of discharge measurements of Long 

Island streams at sites other than regular gaging stations.

STREAMS ON LONa ISLAND 

3030. Mill Neck Creek at Mill Neck, N. Y.

Location. Lat 40°53'15", long 73°33'55", on right bank at Beaver Dam, 30 ft upstream 

from Peeks Lane (Cleft Road) bridge in Mill Neck, Nassau County, and Ij miles southwest of Bayville.

Drainage area. About 11.5 sq mi.

Records available.--January 1937 to September 1958.

Sage. Water-stage recorder and steel sheet-piling control. Datum of gaj-e is 6.55 ft 

above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912.

Average discharge.--21 years, 9.70 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 61.7 cfs Feb. 28 (gage height, 1.052 ft); minimum, 6.64 cfs Oct. 4 (gage height, 0.262 ft).

1937-58: Maximum discharge, 135 cfs Aug. 12, 1955 (gage height, 1.577 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 35 cfs by logarithmic plotting; maximum gage height, 

4.85 ft Sept. 21, 1938 (hurricane wave); minimum discharge, 0.09 cfs r?c. 11, 1941 

(from discharge measurement); minimum gage height, 0.218 ft Nov. 12, 13, 1950.

Correction.--The gage height for the minimum discharge for water year 1957 has been 

corrected to 0.229 ft, superseding figure published in WSP 1502.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of backwater from high tide or no 

gage-height record, which are good. Slight regulation by ponds above station. This 

station is operated in connection with an inventory of water resources on Long Island. 

In addition to records of streamflow, records of ground-water levels are collected, 

some of which are published in water-supply papers. See page 535 for results of discharge measurements of Long Island streams at sites other than regular gaging stations.

3035. Cold Spring Brook at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y.

Location. Lat 40°51'25", long 73°27'50", on left bank 270 ft upstream from State Highway 

25A, at Cold Spring Harbor State Fish Hatchery, Nassau County, and 1 mile southwest of 

village of Cold Spring Harbor, Suffolk County.

Drainage area. About 7.3 sq mi.

Records available. July 1950 to September 1958.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 5.38 ft abov3 mean sea 

level, datum of 1929.

Average discharge. 8 years, 2.55 cfs (unadjusted).

 ' Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 77.1 cfs July 6 ( ' ------- 28 (backwater from high tide); ge height, 1.20 ft); maximum 

gage height, 2.39 ft Pet inimum discharge, 1.24 cfs

Nov. 5-7, Apr. 7 (gage height, 0.175 ft).

1950-58: Maximum discharge, 108 cfs Sept. 11, 1954 (gage height, 1.332 ft, backwater from aquatic vegetation), from rating curve extended above 21 cfs by logarithmic 

plotting; maximum gage height, 5.342 ft Aug. 31, 1954 (backwater from high tide), from 

high-water mark; minimum discharge, 0.39 cfs Feb. 9, 1951 (gage height, 0.086 ft), 

result of ice action.

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

Plow occasionally regulated at outlet of pond 40 ft above station. Diversion from 

this pond by New York State Fish Hatchery bypasses station. This station is operated 

in connection with an inventory of water resources on Long Island. In addition to 

records of streamflow, records of ground-water levels are collected, some of which are 

published in water-supply papers. See page 535 for results of discharge measurements 

of Long Island streams at sites other than regular gaging stations.

Drainage area. About 27 sq mi.

Records available. October 1943 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 9.59 ft above mean sea 

]Tevel, datum of 1929.

Average discharge. 15 years, 42.13 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 125 efs Feb. 28 (gage height, 1.154 ft); minimum, 

31.4 cfs Oct. 5, 6 (gage height, 0.629 ft); minimum daily, 31.5 cfs Oct. 5.

1943-58: Maximum discharge, 324 cfs Oct. 15, 1955 (gage height, 1.96 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 128 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 18.6 cfs Feb. 9, 

1951 (gage height, 0.460 ft); minimum daily, 20.0 cfs Oct. 6, 1947.

which are good. Some regulation caused by cleaning of fish screens and trash racks at 

outlets of Blydenburgh Pond on main stream and ponds on tributaries above station. 

This station is operated in connection with an inventory of water resources on Long 

Island. In addition to records of streamflow, records of ground-water levels are collected, some of which are published in water-supply papers. See page 535 for results 

of discharge measurements of Long Island streams at sites other than regular gaging 

stations.

a No gage-height record at gage 2; discharge estimated from reconstructed gage-h?ight graph based 

on recorded range in stage and record at gage 1.

Note. Doubtful gage-height record at gage 2 Aug. 25 to Sept. 30; discharge computed on basis of 

outside gage readings and record at gage 1. Discharge per square mile and runoff in inches not computed because much of the surface flow is derived from ground-water storage that miy originate from

STREAMS OH LONG ISLAND 29 

3065. Connetquot River near Oakdale, N. Y.

Locablon. Lat 40°44'50", long 73°09'00", on left bank just downstream from highway bridge, 

1 mile west of Oakdale, Suffolk County, and 2 miles north of village of Great River.

Drainage area. About 24 sq mi.

Records available. October 1943 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and wooden stoplog control. Datum of gage is 1.56 ft above 

mean sea level, datum of 1929. Supplementary water-stage recorder with concrete control on left bank of secondary channel a quarter of a mile northeast of base gage at 

datum 5.74 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Average discharge.--15 years, 40.06 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum daily discharge during year, 90.8 cfs Feb. 28, Apr. 7; minimum daily, 

 23.1 cfs Oct. 4.

1943-58: Maximum daily discharge, 263 cfs Oct. 16, 1955; minimum daily, 22.3 cfs 

Sept. 6, 1957.

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

Flow at both gages regulated occasionally by cleaning operations at outlets of ponds 

above station. Discharge figures given are those of combined flows in main and secondary channels. This station is operated in connection with an inventory of water 

resources on Long Island. In addition to records of streamflow, records of groundwater levels are collected, some of which are published in water-supply papsrs. See 

page 535 for results of discharge measurements of Long Island streams at sites other 

than regular gaging stations.

STREAMS ON LONG ISLAND

3075. Penataquit Creek at Bay Shore, N. Y.

Location. Lat 40°43'40", long 73°14'40", on right bank just upstream from Union Avenue 

in Bay Shore, Suffolk County, 4,500 ft upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.--About 5 sq mi.

Records available. August 1945 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 6.64 ft above mean sea 

level, datum of 1929.

Average discharge.--13 years, 6.16 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 40.6 cfs Apr. 6 (gage height, 1.085 ft); mini-

 mum7~2.96 cfs Oct. 6 (gage height, 0.316 ft).

1945-58: Maximum discharge, 112 cfs Oct. 16, 1955 (gage height, 2.31 ft, from 

floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 34 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 

1.49 cfs Nov. 10, 1949 (gage height, 0.215 ft), result of temporary obstruction at 

culvert upstream.

Remarks. Records excellent'except those for periods of doubtful gage-height record or 

backwater from aquatic vegetation or debris, which are good, and those for periods of 

no gage-height record, which are fair. This station is operated in connection with an 

inventory of water resources on Long Island. In addition to records of streamflow, 

records of ground-water levels are collected, some of which are published in watersupply papers. See page 535 for results of discharge measurements of Long Island 

streams at sites other than regular gaging stations.

32 STREAMS ON LONG ISLAND

3080. Sampawams Creek at Babylon, N. Y.

Location. Lat 40°42'15", long 73°18'50", on left bank at upstream side of John Street 

Bridge in Babylon, Suffolk County, 180 ft downstream from Long Island Railroad and 

3,000 ft upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. About 23 sq mi.

Records available. October 1944 to September 1958.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 6.70 ft above mean sea 

level, datum of 1929.

Ave rage di s charge.--14 years, 9.71 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 57.8 cfs Apr. 6 (gage height, 1.183 ft); maximum gage height, 1.227 ft Feb. 28 (backwater from debris below control); minimum discharge, 3.75 cfs Oct. 3 (gage height, 0.279 ft, backwater from aquatic vegetation); 

minimum daily, 4.1 cfs Oct. 4.

1944-58: Maximum discharge, 110 cfs Oct. 16, 1955 (gage height, 1.672 ft, from reconstructed gage-height graph); minimum, 2.65 cfs Aug. 3, 1955 (gage height, 0.232 ft, 

backwater from aquatic vegetation); minimum daily, 3.35 cfs Aug. 3, 1955, Aug. 2, 1957.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of backwater from aquatic vegetation 

or debris, which are good. Plow regulated slightly by pumping operations at railroad 

and occasionally by ponds above station. Prior to November 1950, slight diurnal fluctuation caused by power operations. This station is operated in connection with an 

inventory of water resources on Long Island. In addition to records of streamflow, 

records of ground-water levels are collected, some of which are published in watersupply papers. See page 535 for results of discharge measurements of Long Island 

streams at sites other than regular gaging stations.

STREAMS ON LONG ISLAND 35

3095. Massapequa Creek at Massapequa, N. Y.

Location. Lat 40°41'20", long 73°27'20", on left bank 350 ft west of Garfield Street at 

Lake Shore Drive, Massapequa, Nassau County, a quarter of a mile north of Massapequa 

Park and 3,000 ft upstream from Clark Avenue Bridge and head of Massapequa Pond of 

Brooklyn water-supply system.

Drainage area. About 38 sq mi.

Records available. June to October 1903 (in Professional Paper 44} , December 1936 to 

September 1958. Published as Massatayun Creek at Massapequa December 1936 to September 1941.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 19.31 ft above mean 

sea level, adjustment of 1912. Prior to October 1903, staff gage at different datum.

Average discharge. 21 years (1937-58), 12.17 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 106 cfs Feb. 28 (gage height, 1.44 ft, from recorded range in stage); minimum, 3.50 cfs Oct. 5, 6 (gage height, 0.365 ft).

1903, 1936-58: Maximum discharge, 180 cfs Aug. 12, 1955 (gage height, 1.833 ft), 

includes 9 cfs flow bypassing gage; minimum, 2.66 cfs Aug. 1, 1954 (gage height, 

0.322 ft) .

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

This station is operated in connection with an inventory of water resources on Long 

Island. In addition to records of streamflow, records of ground-water levels are 

collected, some of which are published in water-supply papers. See page 535 for results of discharge measurements of Long Island streams at sites other than regular 

gaging stations.

36 STREAMS ON LONG ISLAND

3100. Wantagh Stream at Bellmore, N. Y. 

(Formerly published as Wantagh Stream at Wantagh)

Location. Lat 40°40'43", long 73°30'58", on right bank 40 ft east of intersection of 

Valentine Place and Mill Road, In Bellmore, half a mile north of Sunrise Highway and 

half a mile northwest of Wantagh, Nassau County. Prior to Aug. 2, 1958, at site 

1,000 ft east.

Drainage area. About 17 sq ml.

Records available. June to October 1883 (fragmentary) and July to October 1903, published 

In Professional Paper 44, September 1937 to September 1958. Prior to October 1957, 

published as "at Wantagh."

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 15.00 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1912. Since Aug. 2, 1958, auxiliary water-stage recorder on right bank 500 ft upstream 

from base gage. Supplementary water-stage recorder with concrete control on right bank 

of secondary channel about 1,000 ft east of base gage at datum 16.88 ft above mean sea 

level, adjustment of 1912 (used as base gage Sept. 2.3, 1937, to Aug. 1, 1958). June to 

October 1883, determinations of flow by various methods at different site and datum. 

July to October 1903, staff gages on two channels near same site, at different datum.

Average d1s charge.--21 years (1937-58), 10.32 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum daily discharge during year, 48.7 cfs Sept. 27; minimum daily, 5.20 cfs

1903, 1937-58: Maximum daily discharge, 139 cfs Jan. 4, 1944; maximum discharge 

prior to beginning of diversion in November 1955, 340 cfs June 1, 1952 (adjusted to include flow bypassing station); maximum gage height, 2.566 ft June 1, 1952; minimum daily 

discharge, 1.84 cfs Sept. 12, 1943.

Remarks. Records fair prior to Aug. 2, good thereafter. Prior to Nov. 4, 1955, flow at 

all stages regulated intermittently at outlet of Wantagh Reservoir, 1 mile above station, and prior to November 1953 by Browning Pond, half a mile above station. Subsequent to Nov. 3, 1955, permanent diversion of a substantial portion of the flow through 

the west branch of Wantagh Stream. Discharge figures given are those of combined flows 

in main and secondary channels. This station is operated in connection with an inventory of water resources on Long Island. In addition to records of streamflow, records of ground-water levels are collected, some of which are published in water-supply 

papers. See page 535 for results of discharge measurements of Long Island streams at 

sites other than regular gaging stations.

50 HUDSON RIVER BASIN

3250. Sacandaga River at Stewarts Bridge, near Hadley, N. Y.

Location. Lat 43°18'40", long 73°52'00", on left bank 1 mile downstream from Stewarts

 Bridge, 1.1 miles west of Hadley, Saratoga County, 1.4 miles upstream from mouth, and

1.5 miles downstream from Stewarts Bridge hydroelectric plant.

Drainage area. 1.055 sq mi. ,. . Records available. September 1907 to September 1958. Published as near Hadley 1907-10,

 "at Hadley" 1911-32 , and "at Conklingville" 1932-52. Records published for both sites 

October 1951 to September 1952. Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 582.00 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. Prior to Jan. 1, 1911, chain gage at site about 1 mile upstream at different 

datum. Jan. 1, 1911, to Sept. 30, 1932, water-stage recorder at site 0.8 mile downstream at datum 8.82 ft lower than present datum. Oct. 1, 1932, to Sept. 30, 195<i, 

water-stage recorder at site 3.6 miles upstream at datum 85.47 ft higher than present 

datum.

Average discharge.--28 years (1930-58), 2,073 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 5,480 cfs Jan. 31 (gage height, 6.18 ft); minimum, 8.2 cfs Apr. 25 (gage height, 0.40 ft); minimum daily, 10 cfs Apr. 19.

1930-58: Maximum discharge, 8,560 cfs Apr. 30, 1953 (gage height, 7.7o ft); minimum 

(at Conklingville), 6 cfs May 16-18, 1934, Apr. 3, 4, 1952; minimum daily (at Conklingville), 6 cfs May 16, 17, 1934, Apr. 3, 4. 1952.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for period of fragmentary gage-height record,

 which are fair. Flow completely regulated by Sacandaga Reservoir since March 1930 (see 

preceding page); no discharge over spillway during year. Extensive diurnal fluctuation 

caused by release of water from Sacandaga Reservoir, through Elmer J. West hydroelectric 

station as directed by Board of Hudson River Regulating District, and Stewarts Bridge 

hydroelectric station.

Cooperation. Since October 1932, discharge computed by Board of Hudson River Regulating 

District from rating developed by Geological Survey.

Revisions (water years ). WSP 1432: 1910-12, 1916-21.

Note_.--Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 4, 5, Jan. 3-21, 24, Feb. 1-26. No gageheight record Oct. 14-18, Oct. 24 to Nov. 15; discharge estimated on basis of reco-ded range In 

stage, weather records, and record for Batten Kill at Battenvllle.
HUDSON RIVER BASIN 65

4-2520. Black River Canal (flowing south) near Boonvllle, N. Y.

Location. Lat 43°27'20", long 75"19'25", on left bank at lock 69, 2 miles south of Boonvllle, Oneida County.

Records available. September 1915 to September 1958 (canal seasons only prior to October 

1942 and since October 1957).

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 1,105.56 ft above 

mean sea level, datum of 1929. Prior to June 7, 1929, station was operated as a slope 

station on summit level of canal. Auxiliary water-stage recorder with concrete control 

on right bank of Lansingkill spillway, 100 ft downstream from spillway headfates, 

600 ft upstream from lock 70, and half a mile upstream from lock 69.

Extremes. 1915-58: Maximum daily discharge recorded, 323 cfs Nov. 30, 1915; practically 

no flow at times when no water is being diverted.

Remarks.--Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record at auxiliary

gage, which are fair. This record shows combined flow in Black River Canal and Lansingkill spillway, and represents total diversion from Black River at Forestport, through 

Forestport feeder, into Mohawk River basin. Discharge during periods Oct. 1-16, Dec. 10 

to May 6, Aug. 5 to Sept. 30, when no water was diverted, consists of leakage through 

headgates and runoff from area draining into canal above station.

Discharge, in cubic feet per second, water year October 1957 to September 1953

Records available. October 1927 to September 1958 in reports of Geological Survey. December 1919 to September 1926 (prior to July 1921, gage heights only) ir reports of 

State engineer and surveyor.

Gage.. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 474.00 ft above mean sea level (Barge Canal 

datum). Prior to Jan. 24, 1937, staff gage at site 200 ft downstream at same datum.

Average discharge. 37 years (1921-58), 391 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 669 cfs Dec. 26 (gage height, 3.27 ft); minimum, 

131 cfs July 1 (gage height, 1.54 ft); minimum daily, 148 cfs Nov. 18.

1927-58: Maximum discharge, 8,560 cfs Oct. 2. 1945 (gage height, 11.18 ft); minimum, 30 cfs Sept. 27, 1945 (gage height, 0.65 ft); minimum daily, 45 cfs Jan. 17, 1931.

Remarks. Records excellent. During canal navigation season, water is diverted from Black 

River through Forestport feeder and Black River Canal (flowing south) irto Delta Reservoir above station. Flow completely regulated by Delta Reservoir (usable capacity, 

2,800,000,000 cu ft). Small quantity of water diverted from Delta Reservoir for fish 

hatchery use and later returned to river, part above and part below station.

3440. West Canada Creek at Hinckley, N. Y.

Location.--Lat 43°18'20", long 75°07'10", on right bank at Hinckley, Oneida County,

1 mile downstream from Hinckley Dam, if miles east of Prospect, and 65 miles upstream 

from Steuben Creek.

Drainage area. 375 sq mi.

Records available.--June 1919 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1,134.00 ft above mean sea level (Utica 

Gas & Electric Co. datum).

Average discharge. 39 years, 986 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 4,000 cfs June 3 (gage height, 6.48 ft); minimum, 155 cfs Feb. 24, 25 (gage height, 3.21 ft); minimum daily, 200 cfs Mar. 22, 23.

1919-58: Maximum discharge, 17,100 cfs Oct. 2, 1945, computed on basis of peak 

flow over dam; maximum gage height, 12.94 ft Oct. 2, 1945, from high-water mark in 

gage well (backwater from debris); minimum discharge, less than 1 cfs Aug. 31, 1924 

(gage height, 2.50 ft); minimum daily, 75 cfs Aug. 31, 1919.

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

fair. Since 1916, flow completely regulated by Hinckley Reservoir except for periods 

of spilling (usable capacity, 3,320,000,000 cu ft). Comparatively small diversion from 

Hinckley Reservoir for Utica water supply.

capacity, 3,320,000,000 cu ft). Diurnal fluctuation at low and medium flo~i caused by 

powerplants above station. Diversion at Trenton Falls by Ninemile feeder during canal 

navigation season.

70 HUDSON RIVER BASIN

3470. Mohawk River near Little Palls, N. Y.

Location. Lat 43°00'50", long 74°46'40", on left bank 1,800 ft downstream from Rocky Rift 

Dam, 2 miles upstream from East Canada Creek, and 4| miles southeast of city of Little 

Palls, Herkimer County.

Drainage area. 1,348 sq mi.

Records available.--February to April 1901 and October 1927 to September 1958 in reports 

of Geological Survey. November 1923 to September 1927 (gage heights and discharge 

measurements only) in files of State Department of Public Works.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 310.0 ft above mean sea level (Barge Canal 

datum). February to April 1901, staff gage 1,800 ft upstream at different datum.

Average discharge. 31 years (1927-58), 2,763 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year (river channel only), 12,800 cfs Dei. 21 (gage 

height, 12.52 ft); minimum (river channel only), 484 cfs Oct. 12 (gage height, 4.46 ft); 

minimum daily (including canal), 720 cfs Oct. 8.

1927-58: Maximum discharge (river channel only), 25,300 cfs Oct. 3, 1945 (gage 

height, 17.80 ft); minimum (river channel only), 214 cfs Aug. 18, 1949 (gage height, 

3.75 ft); minimum daily (including canal), probably not less than 463 cfs Sept. 2, 1934.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or fragme-itary gageHeight record, which are fair. Records of daily discharge include diversion at Rocky 

Rift Dam into Barge Canal for power and lockage at lock 16, near St. Johnsville. 

During canal navigation season, water is received from Black River basin through Black 

River Canal (flowing south) and Lansing Kill, and from Chenango River basin through 

Oriskany Creek feeder. Water is diverted into (or may occasionally be received from) 

Oswego River basin through summit level of Barge Canal between New London and Utica. 

Diurnal fluctuation caused by power-plants and locks and dams on Barge Canal. Appreciable regulation by Delta and Hinckley Reservoirs (combined usable capacity, 

6,120,000,000 cu ft).

Revisions (water years). WSP 741: 1929(M), drainage area. WSP 1432: 1928(M), 1930(M).

HUDSON RIVER BASIN 77

3580. Hudson River at Green Island, N. Y.

Location. Lat 42°45'10", long 73°41'20", on right bank at Green Island, Albany County, 

just upstream from Troy lock and dam, half a mile downstream from 5th branch Mohawk 

River.

Drainage area. 8,090 sq mi, approximately.

Records available. February 1946 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 0.31 ft below mean sea level, datum of 

1929 (Corps of Engineers bench mark). Since July 1, 1946, auxiliary water-stage recorder on bypass channel at datum 10.59 ft higher.

Average discharge. 12 years, 13,830 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year 70,600 cfs Apr. 23; maximum gage height, 21.05 ft 

Dec. 21; minimum daily discharge, 1,780 cfs Sept. 1; minimum gage height, 14.48 ft 

Sept. 2.

1946-58: Maximum discharge, 181,000 cfs Dec. 31, 1948 (gage height, 27.05 ft, from 

high-water mark in gage well); maximum daily, 141,000 cfs Dec. 31, 1948, Jan. 1, 1949; 

minimum daily, 1,270 cfs Sept. 5, 1949; minimum gage height, 13.92 ft Sept. 2, 1946.

Flood of Mar. 19, 1936, reached a stage of 29.48 ft at gage on opposite bank, from 

information by Corps of Engineers (discharge, 215,000 cfs). Flood of Mar. 28, 1913, 

prior to construction of Sacandaga Reservoir and Troy lock and dam, reached a stage 

about 0.2 ft higher upstream from former dam near same site. Downstream from dams, 

flood in 1913 was about 3.3 ft higher than flood in 1936, from information by Corps of 

Engineers.

Remarks, Records good except those for periods of shifting control, which are fair. 

Records include flow over spillway, through wheels, and through lock. Records do not 

include flow in bypass channel (a diversion from Mohawk River entering Hudson River 

li miles downstream). Average flow in bypass channel during current year was 21 cfs. 

Appreciable regulation by Sacandaga Reservoir (see p. 49 ), Indian Lake (s?e p. 42 ), 

and Delta, Hinckley, and Schoharie Reservoirs (combined capacity, 8,738,000,000 

cu ft). Diurnal fluctuation caused by powerplants above station. Diversion above 

station for water supply for city of New York (see records for Mohawk River at Cohoes 

and Schoharie Creek at Burtonsville). During canal navigation season, water is received from Black River basin through Black River Canal (flowing south) and Lansing 

Kill, and from Chenango River basin through Oriskany Creek feeder. Water is diverted 

into (or may occasionally be received from) Oswego River basin through suirmit level of 

Barge Canal between New London and Utica. Water is diverted into St. Lawrence River 

basin through Glen Falls feeder, Bond Creek (see p. 52,53), and Champlain Canal and 

occasionally may be received from that basin through summit level of Champlain Canal 

at Dunham Basin. Records of water temperatures for the water year 1958 are given in 

WSP 1571.

Cooperation. Powerplant records furnished by Ford Motor Co. in connection with a Federal 

Power Commission project.

Discharge, in cubic feet per second, water year October 1957 to September 1958

from graph based on gage readings), from rating curve extended above 2,300 cfs on 

basis of slope-area measurement at gage height 8.07 ft, an estimated discharge in 1952 

based on floodmarks at Pine Bush and indirect measurements on Shawangunk Kill at 

Winterton and at Ganahgote, and an estimated discharge in 1955 based on a floodmark at 

Pine Bush and indirect measurements at Ganahgote; minimum, 2.3 cfs July 21, 22, 1957; 

minimum gage height, 0.37 ft Aug. 5, 1930.

Floods of Aug. 19 and Oct. 16, 1955, reached a stage of about 12.5 ft, from floodmarks (discharge, 9,700 cfs, based on unit runoff at Ganahgote for each flood). Flood 

of June 1, 1952, reached a stage of about 11.0 ft, from floodmarks (discharg?, 7,200 

cfs, based on unit runoff at Winterton and at Ganahgote).

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect, backwater from debris, or 

no gage-height record, which are fair. Slight regulation at low flow by dams above 

station.

Discharge measurement made on this day.
HACKENSACK RIVER BASIN 

3775. Pascack Brook at Westwood, N. J.

Location. Lat 40°59'33", long 74°01 1 19", on right bank 75 ft upstream from Harrington 

Avenue in Westwood, Bergen County, 500 ft downstream from Musquapsink Creek, and 

2.3 miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.--29.6 sq mi.

Records available. September 1934 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 28.62 ft above mean 

sea level, datum of 1929.

Average discharge. 24 years, 52.9 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 1,120 cfs Feb. 28 (gage height, 5.37 ft); minimum daily, 8.9 cfs Oct. 5.

1934-58: Maximum discharge, 1,610 cfs July 23, 1945 (gage height, 6.76 ft); minimum, 5.8 cfs Oct. 21, 1949, minimum daily, 6.1 cfs Oct. 21-25, Nov. 10, 11, 1949.

Remarks. Records excellent except those above 350 cfs, which are fair. Flow regulated 

by Woodcliff Lake 3 miles above station (see p. 105). Water diverted for municipal 

supply by Spring Valley Water Works and Supply Co. by pumpage from well fields in 

headwater area of Pascack Brook in vicinity of Spring Valley, N. Y. , and by Park Ridge 

Water Department by pumping from wells above Woodcliff Lake probably reduces flow past 

this station.

Cooperation. Gage-height record collected in cooperation with Hackensack Water Co.

3805. Rockaway River above reservoir, at Boonton, N. J.

Location. Lat 40°54'06", long 74°24'40", on right bank at Morris Avenue, Boonton, Morris 

County, 1.8 miles upstream from Boonton Reservoir Dam.

Drainage area.--116 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1937 to September 1958.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 364.47 ft above mean 

sea level (New Jersey Geological Survey bench mark).

Average discharge. 20 years (1938-58), 226 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 2,080 cfs Dec. 21 (gage height, 5.31 ft); minimum 

daily, 26 cfs Sept. 4-6.

1937-58: Maximum discharge, 3,250 cfs June 2, 1952 (gage height, 6.62 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 2,400 cfs; minimum, 1.5 cfs Mar. 1, 1938 (gage height, 

1.26 ft).

Remarks.--Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Flow regulaTed by Splitrock Reservoir 14| miles above station (see p. 133). Town of Boonton diverts water for municipal supply from Taylortown Reservoir on Stony Brook (capacity, 

75,000,000 gal) and by pumping from wells in vicinity of Boonton. The mean diversion 

during the water year from Taylortown Reservoir was 0.6 cfs. Rockaway Valley trunk 

sewer bypasses the station (see Remarks paragraph for station at Rockaway River below 

reservoir).

Cooperation. Gage-height record collected in cooperation with Jersey City.

1904, July 16, 23, 1905.

Remarks. Records excellent. Diurnal fluctuation at medium and low flow caused by hydroelectric plant at Beatties Dam. Flow regulated by reservoirs in Rockaway, Pequannock, 

and Wanaque River basins (see p. 133). Large diversions for municipal supply from 

Passaic River above Beatties Dam, and from Rockaway, Pequannock, and Waiaque Rivers 

(see p. 133). In addition, the Commonwealth Water Co. diverts small amounts from Canoe 

Brook near Summit (average for 1958 was 9.8 cfs) and from Passaic River (average for 

1958 was 4.4 cfs); that company and the city of East Orange also divert water for 

municipal supply by pumping from wells.

* Revised.

1903-7, 1921-58: Maximum discharge. 36,100 cfs Sept. 22, 1938 (gage height, 20.42 

ft, from floodmark In recorder shelter), from rating curve extended above 14,000 cfs 

on basis of slope-area measurement at gage heights 14.9 and 20.42 ft; maximum gage 

height, 22.1 ft Aug. 19, 1955; minimum daily discharge, 22 cfs Aug. 20, 1957 (does not 

include water diverted to Johns-Manville plant).

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect, doubtful or no gage-height 

record, or those when fall was used as a factor, which are fair. Records given herein 

represent flow at gage only. Diversion to Johns-Manville plant, 1,500 ft above station, returned to river 0.6 mile below station. Records adjusted for diversion since 

October 1954 on basis of records of diversion since March 1957 and information furnished by Johns-Manville Products Corp.

Revisions. Revised figures of discharge, in cubic feet per second, for periods in the 

water"years 1904, 1906, 1922, 1924-25, 1930, superseding those published in V'SP 125, 

202, 541, 581, 601, 696, are given herein. Observed monthly figures of runoff for 

September 1921 to September 1940, adjusted monthly figures for water year 19^1, and 

Inclusion of diversion in daily figures of discharge for water years 1942-54, previously published in water-supply papers,may be subject to error because of diversion or 

uncertainty in the adjustments for diversion above the station. Records of flow at the 

gage for water years 1942-54 are given herein.

4035. Green Brook at Plainfield, N. J.

Location. Lat 40°36'53", long 74°25'55", on left bank 20 ft downstream from Sycamore Avenue Bridge in Plainfield, Union County, and 1.0 mile upstream from Stony Brook.

Drainage area. 9.75 sq mi.

Records available.--May 1938 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 70.37 ft above mean 

sea level, datum of 1929.

Average discharge.--20 years, 12.2 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 602 cfs Feb. 28 (gage height, 3.SI ft); no flow

1938-58: Maximum discharge, 2,890 cfs July 23, 1938 (gage height, 5.82 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 220 cfs on basis of contracted-opening measurement of peak 

flow (a peak overflow of about 4,400 cfs bypassed gage, based on computation of flow over 

Lower Seeley Dam 4.4 miles upstream, by New Jersey Department of Conservation and Economic Development); no flow at times.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, 

which are fair. Water diverted from Baltusrol well field by Commonwealth Water Co. and 

from wells in vicinity of Mountainside and Scotch Plains by Plainsield-Union Water Co. 

for municipal supply and from private and industrial wells in Plainfielt? and vicinity. 

Diurnal fluctuation at low flow caused by pumping from wells near river in Plainfield. 

During extreme high stages considerable overflow above gage from Green Erook basin to 

adjacent Cedar Brook basin, which returns to Green Brook 5.1 miles below gage by way 

of Bound Brook.

196 DELAWARE RIVER BASIN

4210. East Branch Delaware River at Pishs Eddy, N. Y.

Location. Lat 41°58'00", long 75°10'50", on left bank at downstream side of railroad 

bridge at Fishs Eddy, Delaware County, just upstream from Fish Creek, 4-j miles downstream from Beaver Kill and 11 miles upstream from confluence of East and West Branches 

near Hancock.

Drainage area. 783 sq mi.

Records available.--November 1912 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 950.96 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. Prior to Sept. 27, 1928, staff gage at same site and datum.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 36,600 cfs Dec. 21 (gage height, 17.32 ft); minimum, 202 cfs July 15; minimum gage height, 2.20 ft Aug. 20.

1912-58: Maximum discharge, 53,300 cfs Aug. 24, 1933 (gage height, 20.60 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 22,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 67 cfs Aug. 28, 

1949; minimum gage height, 1.51 ft Aug. 4, 5, 1936.

Flood of Oct. 9, 1903, reached a stage of 23.6 ft, from descriptions obtained in 

April 1939 from local residents who had experienced the flood (discharge, about 70,000 

cfs, from rating curve extended above 22,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting-).

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect or shifting control, which 

are fair. Subsequent to September 1954, entire flow from 371 sq mi of drainage area 

controlled by Pepacton Reservoir (see p. 276). Part of flow diverted for municipal 

supply of city of New York. Remainder of flow (except for conservation releases and 

spill) impounded for release during periods of low flow in the lower Delaware River 

basin, as directed by the Delaware River Master. Records of chemical analyses for the 

water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

Revision.--WSP 756: Drainage area.

DELAWARE RIVER BASIN 215

4320. Wallenpaupack Creek at Wilsonville, Pa.

Location. At hydroelectric plant of Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. at lower end of penstock, at Kimble, 3 miles east of dam at lat 41°27'35", long 75°11'10", at Wilsonville, 

Wayne County, ! £ miles south of Hawley.

Drainage area. 228 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1918 to September 1921 and June 1926 to September 1958 in 

reports of Geological Survey. June to December 1909 (gage heights and discharge measurements only) and January 1910 to September 1941 in reports of Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters.

Gage. Prior to Nov. 3, 1925, staff gage at site 1,000 ft downstream from dam at datum 

1,146.78 ft above mean sea level, unadjusted.

Average discharge . 42 years (1913-22, 1925-58), 372 cfs (adjusted for storage).

Extremes.--1913-22, 1925-58: Maximum daily discharge, 4,840 cfs Mar. 29, 1914; no flow at 

times each year subsequent to Nov. 3, 1925.

Remarks. Records good. Daily discharge determined from flow through turbines, computed 

from records of generator output, and flow over roller gates, computed on ba^is of head 

on gates. On basis of data supplied by the Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. , leakage 

from the penstock, not included in computed discharges, varied from about 1 cfs in the 

late spring, summer, and fall, to 1 cfs to 3 cfs during the remainder of the year; 

leakage through the turbines during shutdown periods varied from 1 cfs to 3 cfs. No 

flow over spillway during year. Flow regulated by Lake Wallenpaupack (see p. 276).

Cooperation. Records of generator load, operation of powerplant, net operating head, and 

water-surface elevations in lake furnished by Pennsylvania Power & Light Co., in connection with a Federal Power Commission project.

Revisions (water years). WSP 756: Drainage area. WSP 1432: 1920-21.

a No gage-height record; discharge estimated on basis of powerplant records.
DELAWARE RIVER BASIN 217

4340. Delaware River at Port Jervis, N. Y.

Location.--Lat 41°22'20", long 74°41'50", on right bank 250 ft downstream from bridge on 

U. S. Highways 6 and 209 at Port Jervis, Orange County, l\ miles upstream from Neversink River, and 6.5 miles downstream from Mongaup River.

Drainage area.--3,076 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1904 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 415.35 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. Prior to June 20, 1914, chain gage at highway bridge 250 ft upstream at same 

datum operated by U. S. Weather Bureau. June 20, 1914, to Aug. 13, 1928, staff or 

chain gages at highway bridge 250 ft upstream at present datum.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 68,600 cfs Dec. 21 (gage height, 12.43 ft); minimum, 690 cfs Oct. 6, 7 (gage height, 1.64 ft); minimum daily, 771 cfs Oct. 13.

1904-58: Maximum discharge, 233,000 cfs Aug. 19, 1955 (gage height, 23.SI ft, from 

floodmark in gage house), from rating curve extended above 89,000 cfs on basis of slopearea measurement of peak flow; minimum, 175 cfs Sept. 23, 1908 (gage height, 0.6 ft); 

minimum daily, 175 cfs Sept. 23, 1908.

Maximum discharge previously known, 205,000 cfs Oct. 10, 1903 (gage height, 23.1 ft, 

reported by U. S. Weather Bureau), from rating curve extended above 70,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting and velocity-area studies; maximum stage known, 25.5 ft Mar. 8, 1904 

(ice jam) .

Remarks. Records excellent except those for period of ice effect, which are gcod. Flow 

regulated by Lake Wallenpaupack, and by Toronto, Cliff Lake, and Swinging Bridge Reservoirs (see p. 276) and smaller reservoirs. Large diurnal fluctuations at medium and 

low flow caused by powerplants on tributary streams. Subsequent to September 1954, 

entire flow from 371 sq mi of drainage area controlled by Pepacton Reservoir (see 

p. 276). Part of flow diverted for municipal supply of city of New York. Remainder 

of flow (except for conservation releases and spill) impounded for release during 

periods of low flow in the lower Delaware River basin, as directed by the Delaware 

River Master. Records of chemical analyses, water temperatures, and suspended sediment loads for the water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

Revisions[water years). WSP 756: Drainage area. WSP 1031: 1905-36.

4360. Neversink River at Neversink, N. Y.

Location. Lat 41°49'10", long 74°38'15", on right bank at downstream end of outlet 

channel, 1,650 ft downstream from Neversink Dam and State Highway 55, 2 miles southwest of Neversink, Sullivan County, and 2-jj miles upstream from Wynkoop Brook.

Drainage area. 91.9 sq mi.

Records available. October 1941 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 1,255.24 ft above 

mean sea level, datum of Board of Water Supply, City of New York. Prior to Jan. 17, 

1953, water-stage recorder at site 650 ft downstream at different datum. Jan. 17, 

1953, to Apr. 16, 1954, water-stage recorder at present site at datura 0.41 ft higher.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 1,550 cfs Apr. 30 (gage height, 4.96 ft); minimum, 1.4 cfs Aug. 29 (gage height, 2.03 ft).

1941-58: Maximum discharge, 22,300 cfs Nov. 25, 1950, from rating curve extended 

above 2,600 cfs on basis of contracted-opening and critical-depth measurements of peak 

flow; maximum gage height, 11.65 ft Sept. 27, 1942 (site and datum then in use); no 

flow for all or part of each day Sept. 22-24, Oct. 26-29, 1954.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of fragmentary gage-height record, 

which are good. Subsequent to June 1953, entire flow from 91.8 sq mi of drainage area 

controlled by Neversink Reservoir (see p. 277). Part of flow diverted for municipal 

supply of city of New York. Remainder of flow (except for conservation releases and 

spill) impounded for release during periods of low flow in the lower Delaware River 

basin, as directed by the Delaware River Master.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 632.00 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. Prior to Nov. 8, 1928, staff gage at same site and datum.

Extremes . Maximum discharge during year, 4,420 cfs Dec. 21 (gage height, 6.38 ft); minimum, 34 cfs Oct. 6 (gage height, 1.33 ft).

1928-58: Maximum discharge, 23,800 cfs Aug. 19, 1955 (gage height, 12.74 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 7,800 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement at gage height 

12.62 ft; minimum, 29 cfs July 3, 1957; minimum gage height, 1.245 ft Oct. 12, 1953.

Remarks.--Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Subsequent 

to June 1953, entire flow from 91.8 sq mi of drainage area controlled by Neversink Reservoir (see p. 277). Part of flow diverted for municipal supply of city of New York. 

Remainder of flow (except for conservation releases and spill) impounded for release 

during periods of low flow in the lower Delaware River basin, as directed by the Delaware River Master.

DELAWARE RIVER BASIN

4375. Neversink River at Godeffroy, N. Y.

Location. Lat 41°26'30", long 74°36'10", on right bank just upstream from highway bridge, 

half a mile downstream from Basher Kill, three-quarters of a mile southeast of Godeffroy, Orange County, 2 miles south of Cuddebackville, and 8j miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.--302 sq mi.

Records available. August to October 1903, August 1909 to April 1914 (gage heights and 

discharge measurements, also twice-daily figures of discharge for January 1911 to December 1912) , and July 1937 to September 1958 in reports of Geological Survey. August 

to October 1903 and August 1909 to December 1913 in reports of State engineer and surveyor. August to October 1903 published as Navesink River at Godeffroy.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 459.66 ft above mean sea level (levels by 

Corps of Engineers). August to October 1903 staff gage at datum 0.98 ft higher. 

Aug. 22, 1909, to Jan. 21, 1910, staff gage and Aug. 1, 1910, to Apr. 3C, 1914, chain 

gage, at present datum.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 4,740 cfs Dec. 21 (gage height, 7.15 ft); minimum, 48 cfs Oct. 3, 4, 6 (gage height, 2.69 ft).

1903, 1909-14, 1937-58: Maximum discharge, 33,000 cfs Aug. 19, 1955 (gage height, 

12.49 ft), from rating curve extended above 11,000 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow; practically no flow several times in July 1911.

Remarks. Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or backwater from

aquatic vegetation, which are good. Subsequent to June 1953, entire flow from 91.8 sq mi 

of drainage area controlled by Neversink Reservoir (see p. 277). Part of flow diverted for municipal supply of city of New York. Remainder of flow (except for conservation releases and spill) impounded for release during periods of low flow in the 

lower Delaware River basin, as directed by the Delaware River Master. Prior to 1949, 

diurnal fluctuations at low and medium flow caused by powerplant at Cuddsbackville.

1940-58- Maximum discharge, 250,000 cfs Aug. 19, 1955 (gage height, 35.15 ft), 

from rating curve extended above 90,000 cfs on basis of flood-routing study; minimum, 

382 cfs Aug. 24, 1954 (gage height, 3.83 ft); minimum daily, 412 cfs Aug. 23, 1954.

Maximum stage known, 35.5 ft Oct. 10, 1903 (present datum), from floodmark. Gage 

height of 28.45 ft (present datum) was observed Mar. 18, 1936 (discharge, 164,500 cfs, 

from present rating curve extended above 90,000 cfs).

Remarks . Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, which are good. Diurnal fluctuation at medium and low flow caused by powerplants on tributary streams. 

Flow regulated by Lake Wallenpaupack and by Pepacton, Swinging Bridge, Toronto, Cliff 

Lake, and Neversink Reservoirs (see p. 276), and smaller reservoirs. Diversion from 

Pepacton and Neversink Reservoirs (see p. 276). Records of chemical analyses and 

water temperatures for the water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

Records available. November 1949 to September 1952 (monthly elevations and contents), 

October 1952 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is at mean sea level (levels by Corps of Engineers ) .

Extremes. Maximum elevation during year, 1,181.5 ft Apr. 9 (contents, 15,500 acre-ft); 

minimum, 1,115.4 ft Oct. 2-7 (contents, 60 acre-ft).

1949-58: Maximum elevation, 1,183.6 ft Apr. 8, 1956 (contents, 16,810 acre-ft); minimum, 1,115.0 ft Aug. 31, 1953 (contents, 56 acre-ft).

Remarks. Reservoir is formed by concrete dam and rock-fill dike, completed by Corps of Engineers in June 1950 for flood control; first used for flood regulation on Mar. 28, 1950. 

Usable capacity, 33,550 acre-ft between elevations 1,115.0 ft (sill of conduits) and 

1,203.0 ft (crest of spillway). Dead storage, 56 acre-ft. Floods are controlled by 

the operation of five gates. Water is stored during high flows and released when downstream conditions warrant.

Cooperation. Capacity curve furnished by Corps of Engineers.

Location. Lat 42°40'10", long 76°06'15", on left bank a quarter of a mile upstream from 

highway bridge In East Homer, Cortland County, and half a mile upstream from irouth.

Drainage area. 7.08 sq ml.

Records available. --October 1938 to September 1958. Prior to October 1947, published as 

iiast Homer Creek at East Homer.

Gage .--Water-stage recorder and concrete control. 

Average discharge. --19 years (1939-58), 12.3 cfs.

Extremes .--Maximum discharge during year, 184 cfs Apr. 6 (gage height, 3.14 ft, backwater 

from Ice ) ; minimum, 0.54 cfs Oct. 16, 17 (gage height, 0.76 ft).

1938-58: Maximum discharge, 787 cfs June 3, 1947, from rating curve extended above 

220 cfs by logarithmic plotting; maximum gage height, 3.80 ft Dec. 30, 1942, from 

graph based on outside gage reading; no flow for part of Aug. 24, 1953, result of 

probable temporary interference upstream; minimum daily discharge, 0.030 cfs A;g. 6,

Remarks . Records good except those for periods of ice effect, backwater from debris, 

shifting control, no gage-height record, or partly obstructed intake, which are fair. 

This station is operated in connection with a study of the effect of reforestation on 

streamflow. In addition to records of streamflow, records of precipitation, temperature, and ground-water levels are collected.

Dam on Canlsteo River, 1.3 miles west of Arkport, Steuben County, and 1.3 miles upstream from small tributary.

Drainage area.--30.5 sq ml.

Records available. January 1951 to September 1958.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage Is at mean sea level (levels by Corps of 

Engineers).

Extremes.--Maximum elevation during year, 1,248.6 ft June 13 (contents, 944 acre-ft); minimum, 1,227.8 ft May 21, May 23 to June 1, June 6-9 (contents, 7 acre-ft).

1951-58: Maximum elevation, 1,268.4 ft Mar. 8, 1956 (contents, 2,728 acre-ft); minimum, 1,226.8 ft Jan. 13, 1951 (contents, 1 acre-ft).

Remarks. Arkport Reservoir is created by an earthfill dam with concrete spillway, completed by Corps of Engineers in 1940 for flood control; first used for flood regulation 

on Mar. 31, 1940. Usable capacity, 7,936 acre-ft between elevations 1,218.0 ft (sill of 

conduit) and 1,304.0 ft (crest of spillway). No dead storage. The flood-control works 

consist of a pressure conduit and a side-channel spillway and are not provided with 

gates. Water is stored during high flows and released gradually.

Cooperation. Capacity table furnished by Corps of Engineers (revised below elevation 

1,230.0 ft, effective January 1951).

Revisions. Revised figures of month-end contents for water years 1951-57, superseding 

those published in WSP 1202, 1232, 1272, 1332, 1382, 1432, and 1502, are given herewith:

0 Backwater from aquatic vegetation.
SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN

5245. Canlsteo River below Canacadea Creek, at Hornell, N. Y.

Location. Lat 42"18'50", long 77°39'05", on right bank 235 ft upstream from Erie Railroad bridge in Hornell, Steuben County, 0.25 mile upstream from Crosb/ Creek, and 

1.5 miles downstream from Canacadea Creek.

Drainage area. 159 sq mi.

Records available. August 1942 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 1,131.10 ft above 

mean sea level (Corps of Engineers bench mark).

Average discharge.--16 years, 163 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 3,340 cfs Apr. 6 (gage height, 8.01 ft); minimum, 14 cfs Oct. 5, 11, 15 (gage height, 0.43 ft).

1942-58: Maximum discharge, 9,340 cfs May 26, 1943 (gage height, 13.30 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 3,700 cfs on basis of critical-depth measurement of peak 

flow; minimum, 7.4 cfs Sept. 13, 14, 1955; minimum gage height, that of Oct. 5, 11, 

15, 1957.

Remarks.--Records good except those for periods of ice effect, backwater from debris, 

partly obstructed intake, or no gage-height record, which are fair. City of Hornell 

diverts an average of about 3.5 cfs for municipal supply from Carrington Creek, a 

tributary above station; sewage enters river below gage. Since November 1939, flood 

flows regulated by Arkport Reservoir (see p. 336), and, since October 1948, by Almond 

Reservoir (see p. 342).

Cooperation. Records of diversion from Carrington Creek furnished by city of Hornell.

* Discharge measurement made on this day.

a No gage-height record; discharge estimated on basis of records for nearby stations.

Note. Stage-discharge relation affected by lee Jan. 4 to Feb. 28 (no gage-height record Jan. 5-7, 

16, 17, 19-24, 26-29, Feb. 8-28; discharge estimated on basis of records for nearby stations). 

Stage-discharge relation indefinite Nov. 2 to Dec. 20 (probably affected by ice during most of 

December); discharge estimated on basis of weather records and records for nearby stations. Discharge per square mile and runoff in inches not computed because some of surface flow is diverted 

above station into sinkholes.

Laurel Run, and 1.3 miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. 44.1 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1944 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 921.80 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. Oct. 1, 1944, to Nov. 15, 1950, water-stage recorder, and Nov. 16, 1950, to 

Nov. 30, 1952, wire-weight gage and high-water staff gage at site half a mile downstream at datum 17.99 ft lower.

Average discharge. 14 years, 81.6 cfs (adjusted for diversion from Octoter 1950 to November 1952).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 596 cfs Dec. 26; maximum gage height, 3.26 ft 

Feb. 28 (ice Jam); minimum discharge, 4.2 cfs Oct. 12 (gage height, 0,49 ft).

1944-58: Maximum discharge, 5,140 cfs Nov. 25, 1950 (gage height, 7.5 ft, from 

floodmarks, site and datum then in use), from rating curve extended atove 2,100 cfs on 

basis of contracted-opening measurement of peak flow; minimum, 2.6 cfs Nov. 7, 1953; 

minimum daily, 4.5 cfs Sept. 27, 28, Oct. 3-5, 1957.

Maximum stage known, about 15 ft Mar. 17 or 18, 1936 (site and datum in use prior 

to Dec. 1, 1952).

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Prior to 

Oct. 1, 1950, daily discharges were affected by diversion from basin cf a small quantity of water for boiler feed makeup for West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co. Prom Oct. 1, 

1950, to Nov. 30, 1952, in addition to effects of above diversion, dally discharges 

were affected by diversion into basin, by West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co., of water 

from ground-water sources. Daily discharges subsequent to Nov. 30, 1£52, are not 

affected by diversion.

3ge, 150 ft downstream from Olmsted's mill dam, 1 mile southeast of Camp Location. Lat

highway bridge, ________

Hill, Cumberland County, and 3.1 miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area. 216 sq mi.

Records available. October 1918 to December 1919, June 1954 to September 1958 in reports 

 of Geological Survey. March 1909 to December 1919 in reports of Water-supply Commission 

of Pennsylvania. Prior to June 1954, published as at Olmsted's Mill.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 301.49 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. March 1909 to December 1919, chain gage at bridge 50 ft upstream at same datum.

Average discharge.--12 years (1910-16, 1917-19, 1954-58), 300 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 2 440 cfs Feb. 28 (gage height, 7.22 ft); minimum 

61 cfs Oct. 14, 15 (gage height, 0.53 ft).

1909-19, 1954-58: Maximum discharge, 5,550 cfs Aug. 22, 1915 (gage height, 8.61 ft, 

from graph based on gage readings), from rating curve extended above 3,700 cfs; minimum, 

31 cfs Aug. 2, 1954 (gage height, 0.31 ft); minimum daily, 79 cfs Aug. 2, 1954.

Flood of July 22, 1953, reached a stage of 9.4 ft, from floodmarks (discharge, 

3,940 cfs, from rating curve extended above 2,500 cfs).

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect, no gage-height record, or 

backwater from pipeline construction, which are fair. The Mechanicsburg Water Co. 

diverted water at a point about 4 miles above station for municipal water supply, equivalent to a mean discharge at station of 1.0 cfs. Some diurnal fluctuation at low flow 

caused by mill above station.

site 600 ft upstream at different datum, excluding small tributary.

Average discharge. 28 years (1928-31, 1933-58), 390 cfs (adjusted for diversion).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 6.600 cfs Feb. 28 (gage height, 9.36 ft); minimum, 23 cfs Oct. 7 (gage height, 2.50 ft).

1928-58: Maximum discharge, 22,800 cfs Aug. 24, 1933 (gage height, 17.52 ft, from 

floodmark in recorder shelter), from rating curve extended above 4,000 cfs on basis of 

slope-area measurement of peak flow; probably no flow at times; minimum daily, 7 cfs 

Aug. 11, 1930.

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

Regulation at low flow by waterworks and mill above station. Diversion above station 

for municipal supply of Lancaster.

Engineers bench mark). May 6, 1905, to July 14, 1906, chain gage at highway bridge 

700 ft upstream at different datum. Oct. 18, 1929, to Mar. 17, 1936, water-sta^e recorder, 

and Apr. 1, 1936, to Mar. 19, 1937, tape gage, 200 ft upstream at present datum.

Average discharge. 29 years (1929-58), 316 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 7,300 cfs May 5 (gage height, 8.53 ft); minimum, 

14 cfs Oct. 1, 2 , 3.

1905-6, 1929-58: Maximum discharge, 38,100 cfs Mar. 17, 1936 (gage height, 20.2 ft, 

from floodmarks at present site), from rating curve extended above 6,500 cfs on basis of 

slope-area measurements at gage heights 13.45 and 20.2 ft; minimum, 9 cfs Oct. 14, 1930.

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

include drainage from numerous active and abandoned coal mines. Slight diurnal fluctuation at low flow caused by quarry upstream.

6070. Big Spring at Masonville, W. Va.

Location.--Lat 38°55'15" , long 79°05'10", on right bank of Spring Run, at State fish hatchery, Masonville, Grant County, 6 miles southeast of Petersburg.

Records available. August 1945 to December 1958 (discontinued).

gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Altitude of gage is 1,180 ft (from topographic map). Prior to May 14, 1951, water-stage recorder at site half a mile upstream 

at different datum. May 14, 1951, to Feb. 5, 1952, staff gage at site 200 ft downstream at different datum.

Ave rage d is charge. 13 years, 13.4 cfs.

Ext remes. --1957-58: Maximum discharge during water year, 72 cfs May 7 (gage height, 

1.90 ft); minimum daily, 6.0 cfs Oct. 17-21.

1958: Maximum daily discharge during period October to December, 8.3 cfs Oct. 22; 

minimum daily, 5.0 cfs Dec. 19-26, 28-31.

1945-58: Maximum discharge, 600 cfs June 18, 1949 (gage height, 2.68 ft, site and 

datum then in use), from rating curve extended above 100 cfs by logarithmic plotting; 

minimum, 4.9 cfs Oct. 6-8, 1947.

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

Big Spring, which emerges several places half a mile above gage, is the source of entire flow, except during wet weather when surface drainage from about 1 sq mi enters 

the stream above gage. Flow from surface is included in the records but is relatively 

small except during heavy rains.

curve extended above 85,000 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow at site 

5 miles upstream at Okonoko).

Remarks.--Records excellent except those below 500 cfs, which are good, and those for 

periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, which are fair. Low flow affected by 

Stony River Reservoir (see p. 454) and, since December 1950, by Savage River Reservoir 

(see p. 457).

Tonoloway Creek, half a mile downstream from bridge on U. S. Highway 522 at Hancock, 

Washington County, and 1.1 miles upstream from Tonoloway Creek [formerly called Great 

or Big Tonoloway Creek).

Drainage area. 4,073 sq mi.

Records available . October 1932 to September 1958. Gage-height records collected at same 

site since June 1925 are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Gage . Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 383.46 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. Oct. 1, 1932, to Aug. 27, 1934, chain gage and Aug. 28, 1934, to Jan. 5, 

1935, Mar. 18, 1936, to Jan. 20, 1937, wire-weight gage, on former highway bridge just 

upstream at same datum. Jan. 6, 1935, to Mar. 18, 1936, water-stage recorder at present site and datum.

Average discharge. 26 years, 4,068 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 44,600 cfs May 6 (gage height, 18.85 ft); minimum, 276 cfs Oct. 3 (gage height, 2.32 ft).

1932-58: Maximum discharge, 340,000 cfs Mar. 18, 1936 (gage height, 47.6 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 120,000 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak 

flow; minimum observed, 180 cfs Oct. 4, 1932 (gage height, 2.01 ft).

Maximum stage known prior to 1932, about '40 ft in May 1889 (discharge, about 220,000 

cfs).

Remarks. Records excellent except those for period of once-daily tape-gage readings,

which are good, and those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Slight regulation 

at low flow from powerplants upstream. Low flow affected slightly by Stony River Reservoir (see p. 454) and since December 1950 by Savage River Reservoir (see p. 457). 

Records of water temperatures for the water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

Revisions (water years). WSP 781: 1933(M). WSP 801: Drainage area.

datum about 12 ft higher. Aug. 21, 1928, to July 13, 1933, staff gage at Burnside 

Bridge at same datum.

Average discharge . 30 years (1928-58), 261 cfs (adjusted for inflow since 1934).

Extremes. --Maximum discharge during year, 2,220 cfs May 6 (gage height, 6.54 ft); minimum, 9.4 cfs Nov. 22, result of regulation caused by construction work above station; 

minimum daily, 70 cfs Nov. 4, 5, 11.

1928-58: Maximum discharge, 12,600 cfs July 20, 1956 (gage height, 16.73 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 4,300 cfs on basis of contracted-opening measurement of 

peak flow; minimum, that of Nov. 22, 1957; minimum daily, 50 cfs Sept. 29, 1930, 

Feb. 1, Oct. 4, 1931.

Remarks . Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height

record, which are fair. Flow slightly regulated by powerplant above station. Regulation greater prior to 1936. Since 1928, records include pumpage from Potomac River 

for municipal supply of Hagerstown. This water later enters Antietam Creek above 

station as sewage.

498 POTOMAC RIVER BASIN

6385. Potomac River at Point of Rocks, Md.

Location. Lat 39°16'25", long 77°32'35", on left bank at downstream side of bridge on 

U. S. Highway 15 at Point of Rocks, Frederick County, a third of a mile downstream 

from Catoctln Creek (Virginia) and 6 miles upstream from Monocacy River.

Drainage area. 9,651 sq ml.

Records available. February 1895 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage Is 200.54 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. Prior to Sept. 2, 1902, wire-weight gage on downstream side of bridge at 

datum about 0.45 ft higher. Sept. 2, 1902, to Oct. 28, 1929, chain gage at same site 

at present datum.

Average discharge.--62 years (1896-1958), 9,363 cfs .

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 72,000 cfs May 7 (gage height, 14.13 ft); minimum, 939 cfs Oct. 3, 4 (gage height, 0.61 ft).

1895-1958: Maximum discharge, 480,000 cfs Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 41.03 ft), 

from rating curve extended above 300,000 cfs on basis of adjustment of figure of peak 

flow at station near Washington for Inflow and storage, and slope-area measurement of 

peak flow; minimum, 540 cfs Sept. 10, 1914 (gage height, 0.38 ft).

Flood of June 2, 1889, reached a stage of 40.2 ft, from floodmarks (discharge, 

about 460,000 cfs, from rating curve extended as explained above).

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

which are fair. Low flow affected slightly since 1913 by Stony River Reservoir (see 

p. 454) and since December 1950 by Savage River Reservoir (see p. 457).

POTOMAC RIVER BASIN 509

6465. Potomac River near Washington, D. C.

Location. Lat 38°57'36", long 77°08'33", on right bank 1 mile upstream from Little Falls 

Dam, l£ miles northeast of Langley, Fairfax County, Va., 2 miles upstream from District 

of Columbia boundary line, and 2-| miles upstream from Chain Bridge.

Drainage area. 11,560 sq mi.

Records available. March 1930 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 38.00 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. Prior to June 7, 1930, staff gage at same site and datum.

Average discharge. 28 years, 11,250 cfs (adjusted for diversions).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 82,100 cfs May 7 (gage height, 12.02 ft, from 

high-water mark in well); minimum, 881 cfs Oct. 6.

1930-58: Maximum discharge, 484,000 cfs Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 28.1 ft); minimum daily, 448 cfs Aug. 25, 1930 (does not include 334 cfs diverted at Great Falls 

for water supply).

Flood of June 2, 1889, was of approximately the same magnitude as that of Mar. 19, 

1936.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of ice effect, no gage-height record, or 

sETTting control, which are fair. Diversion at Great Falls through aqueducts for municipal water supply of Washington, D. C. Low flow affected slightly by Stony River 

Reservoir (see p. 454) and since December 1950 by Savage River Reservoir (see p. 457).

Revisions. WSP 726: Drainage area.

6510. Northwest Branch Anacostia River near Hyattsville, Mci.

Location. Lat 38°57'09", long 76°58'00", on right bank at downstream side of bridge on 

Queens Chapel Road (State Highway 210), 0.8 mile downstream from Sligo Branch and 

1 mile west of Hyattsville, Prince Georges County.

Drainage area. 49.4 sq mi.

Records available.--July 1938 to September 1958.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 17.30 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. Prior to Oct. 22, 1938, wire-weight gage, Oct. 22, 1938, to Sept. 17, 1951, 

water-stage recorder, Sept. 17, 1951, to Aug. 29, 1952, staff gage and crest-stage 

indicator, at same site and datum.

Average discharge. 20 years, 38.8 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 3,590 cfs July 22 (gage height, 11.67 ft); minimum, 5.0 cfs Sept. 10.

1938-58: Maximum discharge, that of July 22, 1958; minimum, 0.8 cfs Oct. 3, 7, 

1941, Aug. 26, 1943.

Maximum stage known, about 13.5 ft Aug. 24, 1933.

Remarks. Records fair except those for periods of ice effect, which are poor. Low flow 

regulated by storage and diversion (to Morse filtration plant) at Burnt Mills Dam, 

7 miles above station, and by inflow pumped from patuxent River basin as required for 

water supply for Washington Suburban Sanitary District.

Revisions (water years). WSF 971: 1942(M).

2.5 cfs Oct. 5; minimum gage height, 2.50 ft July 3.

1955-58: Maximum discharge, 7,620 cfs Aug. 12, 1955 (gage height, 9.95 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 1,500 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 1.1 cfs Aug. 15, 

1957 (gage height, 2.44 ft).

Flood of May 5, 1953, reached a stage of 11.9 ft, from floodmark.

Remarks. Records fair except those for period of Indefinite stage-discharge relation and 

those below 10 cfs and above 150 cfs, which are poor. Some regulation at low and high 

flow by Lake Barcroft (formerly Alexandria Reservoir), on Holmes Run 3.6 miles upstream.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 535

As the number of streams on which streamflow information is likely to be desired far 

exceeds the number of stream-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological Survey collects limited s-treamflow data at sites other than stream-gaging stations. 

When limited streamflow data are collected on a systematic basis over a period of years 

for use in hydrologic analyses, the site at which the data are collected is called a 

partial-record station. Data collected at these partial-record stations are usable in lowflow or floodflow analyses, depending on the type of data collected. In addition, discharge measurements are made at other sites not included in the partial-record program. 

These measurements are generally made in times of drought or flood to give better areal 

coverage to those events. Those measurements and others collected for some special reason 

are called measurements at miscellaneous sites.

Records collected at partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The first is 

a table of discharge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations and the second is a 

table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. Discharge measurements made at miscellaneous sites for both low flow and high flow are given in a third 

table.

Low-flow partial-record stations

Measurements of streamflow in the area covered by this report made at low-flow partialrecord stations are given in the following table. Most of these measurements were made 

during periods of base flow when streamflow is primarily from ground-water storage. These 

measurements, when correlated with the simultaneous discharge of a nearby stream where 

continuous records are available, will give a picture of the low-flow potentiality of 

stream. The column headed "Period of record" shows the water years in which measurements 

were made at the same, or practically the same, site.

548 DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES

Crest-stage partial-record stations

The following table contains annual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A 

crest-stage gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspections of the gage. A stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge 

measurements made by indirect measurements of peak flow or by current meter. The date of 

the maximum discharge is not always certain but is usually determined by comparison with 

nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local inquiry. Oily the maximum 

discharge for each water year is given. Information on some lower floods may have been 

obtained but is not published herein. The years given in the period of record represent 

water years for which the annual maximum has been determined. The maximum discharge for 

each year since the crest-stage gage was established is given. The peak discharge for 

some years may have been published in a previous report as a measurement of discharge. 

Figures given herein supersede all previous figures of peak discharge fo" the floods 

listed.
