SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF 'OHIO RIVER BASIN, 1943

SCOPE OF WORK 

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

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

water year ending September 30, 1943. The work was begun in 188S in connection with 

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

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 9,670 gaging stations 

in the 48 States and also at many gaging stations in Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1943, 

5,130 gaging stations, including those in Hawaii, were being maintained by the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at 

many other points.

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

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

kind is acknowledged In connection with the description of each station affected} in 

this report cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on pages 12-13.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

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

herein are defined as follows:

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

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

whose average velocity is 1 foot per second.

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

second from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the runoff is distributed uniformly both as regards tine and area.

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

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

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

An "acre-foot" Is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 

foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. The term is commonly used in connection with 

storage for irrigation.

"Second-foot-day* is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot for 24 

hours. It Is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,317 gallons and 

represents a runoff of 0.0372 inch from 1 square mile.

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

height and discharge."

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

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

of the channel, or an artificial structure.

"Contents" is a term applied to the volume of water in a reservoir, not including 

water'in bank storage unless so indicated.
2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1943, PART 3

EXPLANATION OF DATA

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

discharge, and general Information used to supplement the records of stage and discharge 

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

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

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

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

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

dally 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 dally mean discharge Is 

determined by the "shifting-control method," In which correction factors based on Individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used In applying the 

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

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

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

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

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

method," In which the slope or fall in a reach of the stream Is a factor In che determination of discharge. Information requisite Tor determining the slope or fall 1? obtained 

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

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

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

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

mountainous regions of other parts the stage-discharge relation Is affected by Ice during 

the Winter, which nates It Impossible to compute the discharge in the usual manner. Dls- 

 charge 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 Inf< mation on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and 

comparable records of discharge for stations in the same or nearby basins. The days 

included in the periods of Ice effect and the days during the winter period on which discharge measurements were made are Indicated In the table by symbols referring to footnotes 

or are given in a general note following the table.

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

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

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

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

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

or othe~ special methods.

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

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

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

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

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

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

height; the minimum discharge If there is little or no regulation; the minimum dally discharge If there Is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge If useful); and the 

minimum gage height (unless It Is of no Importance). Unless otherwise qualified, the 

maximum discharge corresponds to the crest sta'ge, obtained by use of a water-stage 

recorder or a nonrecordlng gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the minimum discharge represents the lowest stage, unless otherwise qualified. Selected peak discharges 

with the times of their occurrence are given below the table of monthly discharge for some 

stations. This supplementary Information Is generally omitted for stations having drainage areas of less than 10 square miles or more ttian 10,000 square miles or If the peak 

discharges usually exceed the corresponding mean discharges for the day by less than 10

percent. 

 

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

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

mean gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the dally mean gage height may 

not Indicate the true dally mean discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge for parts of the day or by using the discharge Integrator, an Instrument for 

obtaining the dally mean discharge from a continuous gage-height graph and containing as 

an essential element a curve representing the stage-discharge relj^lon at the station. 

For stations equipped with nonrecordlng gages, the table of dally discharge gives the 

discharge In second-feet corresponding to once'-dal*Ly readings of the gage or the mean 

of twice-daily readings. For periods of rapidly changing stage-the dally mean discharge Is determined from gage-height graphs based on gage readings made once or twice 

dally or oftener, as stated In the station description.

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

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

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

wa-ter surface was at crest stage. Likewise, In the column headed "minimum11 the quantity 

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

In cubic feet per second during the month.

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

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

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

from succeeding reports.

TIME BA"IS

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

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

ahead 1 hour, or to 3 a.m. Records of dally discharge prior to February 9, 1942, 

were computed on the basis of standard time. Records subsequent to that date have been 

computed on the basis of war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 

hour.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1943, PART 3 5 

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily oh (1) the permanency of the stagedlscharge relation or, If the control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of flow, and Interpretation of records.

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

records. "Excellent" Indicates that, In general, the error In the -dally records Is 

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

discharge and runoff are, In general, more accurate than the daily records.

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

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease In evaporation due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of ^secondfeet per square mile" and "runoff In Inches" are not published unless storage or diversion 

records are Included indicating the extent of the regulation or diversion or unless 

satisfactory adjustments can be made for changes In contents 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 Its Inclusion Is Indicated. 

Figures of second-feet per square mile and runoff In Inches are also omitted If the 

drainage area Includes large noncontrlbutlng areas or If the average annual rainfall 

over the drainage area Is less than 20 Inches.

Many gaging stations on streams In the Irrigated areas of the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, and therefore the discharge recorded 

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

below the station must first be satisfied.

The table of monthly discharge presents In sumr-iary the distribution of the flow past 

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

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

to throw new light on data previously published, it should be borne in mind that such data 

are subject to revision In succeeding water-supply papers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Papers 871 to 884 (see table on p. 8), contains a summary of yearly discharge at gaging 

stations In the area covered by that report. Gaging stations at which 10 or more complete years of record have been collected are represented. These summaries are available 

also as separate reprints.

is 514.10 feet above sea level, Sandy Hook datum (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. 

Army). Auxiliary water-stage recorder at old lock 26, 0.7 mile upstream from 

Gallipolis lock and dam and 13.4 miles downstream from base gage. Datum of gage is 

505.22 feet above mean sea level, Sandy Hook datum (levels by Corps of Engineers, 

U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 52,760 square miles (including that of Kanawha River).

Records available.- March 1940 to September 1943 (include flow of Kanawha River).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 522,000 second-feet Jan. 1; maximum gage 

height, 54.38 feet Jan. 2. Minimum discharge not determined but less than 8,250 

second-feet; minimum gage height, 23.38 feet Oct. 16, Aug. 6.

1940-43: Maximum discharge, that of Jan. 1, 1943; maximum gage height, that of 

Jan. 2, 1943. Minimum daily discharge not determined but less than 7,500 second-feet; 

minimum gage height, 22.70 feet June 28, 1940.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 30,000 second-feet, which are fair. Discharge 

computed on basis of fall-stage-discharge relation between gages at Point Pleasant 

and old lock 26..

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

tzigmeers, U. S. Army.

Ohio River at Metropolis, 111.

Lo.cation.- Water-stage recorder, lat.-37008'5111 , long. 88°44'271', at Paducah & Illinois 

Railroad bridge at Metropolis, Massac County, 9i miles downstream from Tennessee River 

and 37 miles upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 276.27 feet above mean sea level, 

datum of 1329. Auxiliary water-stage recorder, 0.5 mile upstream from dam 53, 3 miles 

southwest of Grand Chain, Pulaskl County, and 18 miles downstream from base gage. 

Datum of auxiliary gage Is 276.30 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 203,000 square miles at Metropolis (authority, Corps of Engineers, U. S. 

Army).

Re cords available.- January 1934 to September 1943. Since December 1881 (occasional 

discharge measurements at Paducah or Metropolis), in reports of corps of Engineers, 

U. S. Array,and of Mississippi River commission.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 967,000 second-feet Mar. 29; maximum gage 

height, 52.98 feet Mar. 30; minimum daily discharge, 53,000 second-feet Sept. 19

1934-43: Maximum discharge, 1,780,000 second-feet Feb. 1, 1937 (total discharge. 

Including overflow through Bay Creek and Cache River Valleys,'1,850,000 second-feet); 

maximum gage height, 66.60 feet Feb. 2, 1937; minimum daily discharge, 20,600 secondfeet Oct. 6, 1941.

Remarks.- Records good. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary 

water-stage recorder as a,factor. Flow controlled by operatiomof navigation dams 

upstream and downstream from Metropolis except during periods of high water when dams 

are lowered and open-river conditions prevail.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record collected in cooperation with, and 47 discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

Drainage area.- 1,358 square miles. 

Records available.- October 1939 to September 1943.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 53,100 second-feet Dec. 30 (gage height, 19.6 

~ feet, from graph based on gage readings); minimum observed, 265 second-feet (regulated)

Sept. 28-30 (gage height, 2.01 feet).

1939-43: Maximum discharge, 55,600 second-feet Mar. 31, 1940 (gage height, 20.18

feet, from floodmark); minimum observed, 220 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 18, 20, 1939

(gage height, 1.94 feet). 

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or doubtful gage-height

 record, which are fair. Gage read twice dally. Flow regulated by steel mills and by 

reservoirs above station, the eight largest of which have a combined capacity of 

2,060,170,000 cubic feet.

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

County, 0.5 mile upstream from Freemans Creek, 3,500 feet downstream from bridge on 

Weston-Clarksburg interurban electric railway, and 3 miles north of Weston. Datum of 

gage is 993.00 feet above mean sea level (State Road Commission bench mark). Prior to 

Oct. 1, 1942, at datum 10.00 feet lower.

Drainage area.- 181 square miles.

Records available.- April 1915 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 28 years, 305 second-feet. Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 5,090 second-feet Mar. 20 (gage height, 8.'25 

feet); minimum, 2.6 second-feet Sept. 30 (gage height, 0.52 foot).

1915-43: Maximum discharge observed, 9,800 second-feet Mar. 13, 1918, Jan. 2, 1919 

(gage height-, 14.0 feet, at site then in use, present datum); no flow at times during 

October 1919, September, October, December 1922, caused by either diversion or pondage 

at small dams upstream. Maximum stage known, 17 feet, in 1888 at site 3,500 feet upstream, present datum, 

from information by local residents (discharge, 12,600 second-feet). The stage on that

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

wmcn are fair.

Revisions.- Revised figures of discharge for medium and high-water periods In the water 

years ±986 to 1930 and for high-water periods In the water years 1933, 1936-38, 1940 

are given herein. They supersede those published in Water-Supply Papers 683, 698, 743 

803, 883, 838, 853, and 893. Complete tables of dally discharges are given for water 

years 1986 to 1930 but only revised discharges are given for other water years.

Figures of discharge, at Indicated time, for gage heights above 7.0 feet for the 

flood in January 1937 as published In Water-Supply Paper 838, p. 145, are too small. 

Revised figures can be obtained by applying the following rating table to the gage 

heights published In that paper:

MJSKINOUM RIVER BASIN - 163 

Reservoirs In Musklngum River Basin, Ohio

During the years 1935 to 1938, the Corps of Engineers, U. 3. "Army, constructed 14 

dams on the Kusklngum River and tributaries for the HUsklngum Watershed Conservancy District. The reservoirs created by these dams are used mainly for flood control, but at 

11 of them a conservation pool Is maintained for emergency water supply for domestic and 

industrial uses, to maintain sanitary stream conditions during periods of extreme low 

flow, and for recreational and wildlife conservation purposes.

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

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

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

higher stages can be assisted by operation of 114-foot[Talntgr_|gates on spillway.

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

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

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

1939, and'furnished gage-height records and capacity curves used 50 compute data contained herein.

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
MUSKINGUM RIVER BASIN 177 

Stlllwater Creek at Uhrlchsvllle, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorders, lat. 40°23'11", long. 81°20'48",- one upstream and 

one downstream from concrete dam of Dennison Water Supply Co. at Uhri'chsvllle, 

Tuscarawas County, and 2 miles upstream from Little Stillwater Creek. Daturas of 

upper and lower gages are 839.37 feet and 829.37 feet, respectively, above mean 

sea level, adjustment of 1912.

Drainage area.- 367 square miles.

Records available.- October 1936 to September 1943. July 1922 to September 1936 at 

site i.y miles upstream.

Average discharge.- 21 years, 443 second-feet.

taccremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,070 second-feet Dec. 31 (gage height, 15.43

 feet /"lower gage, affected by backwater); minimum, 3.5 second-feet Sept. 27, 28 

(gage height, 4.80 feet, lower gage).

1922-43: Maximum discharge, 7,650 second-feet Aug. 8, 9, 1935 (gage height, 

14.2 feet, site then in use, 12.8 feet, upper gage at present site); no flow at 

times in 1930, 1932, 1936, 1939, 1940.

Flood of March 1913 reached a stage of about 17.5 feet, original site, and about 

15.5 feet, upper gage at present site. 

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

 height record, which are poor. Water for municipal supply of Dennison and Uhrlchsville, diverted 1.7 miles above station, not included in figures of dally discharge. 

Record of diversion furnished by Dennison Water Supply Co. shows monthly average 

of about 2.0 second-feet. Flow affected by Piedmont and Clendening flood-control 

reservoirs (see p. 163).

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

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

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

Average discharge.- 12 years (1907-15, 1939-43), 3,765 second-feet (adjusted).

Hjqremes.- naximum discharge during year, 22,500 second-feet (regulated) Dec. 31 (gage 

Height, 7.85 feet); minimum, 205 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 19 (gage height, 1.15 

<et); minimum daily, 720 second-feet Sept. 4.

1907-15. 1939-43: Maximum discharge, 218,000 second-feet Aug. 14, 1940 (gage height, 

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

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

Power Co.); minimum, that of Sept. 19, 1943.

Flo.ods of Sept. 15, 1878, and July 16, 1916, reached stages 'of 37.4 and 35.7 feet 

respectively, at site and datum used by Geological Survey 1904-7, from reports af U S 

Weather Bureau.

Remarks.- Records excellent. Flow regulated by power plant and storage at Claytor Reservoir (capacity, 224,000 acre-feet, revised). Some additional regulation at low flow bydam and power plant on Little River half a mile above mouth.

Cooperation.- Record of contents of Claytor Reservoir furnished by Appalachian Electric Co.

274 SCIOTO RIVER BASIN 

Scioto River at Columbus, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°54'34", long. 83°00J 33", at sewage-treatment 

works of city of Columbus, Franklin County, 0.4 mile downstream from bridge on Frank 

Road. Datum of gage is 680.40 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912.

Drainage area.- 1,624 square miles.

Records available.- April 1921 to September 1943.

Average discharge.-.22 years, 1,302 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 27,400 second-feet Mar. 20 (gage height, 21.5 

feet); minimum, 99 second-feet Oct. 10; minimum gage height, 5.82 feet Dec. 22.

1921-43: Maximum discharge, 39,600 second-feet Mar. 21, 1927 (gage height, 24.7 

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

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

estimated by Franklin County Conservancy District), this stage is not comparable 

with present gage heights because of subsequent channel improvement and levee 

 construction.

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

poor. Flow regulated by O'Shaughnessy and Griggs Reservoirs for municipal supply of 

city of Columbus (see p. 278). Diversion for water supply made several miles above 

gage; sewage return flow normally is discharged at gage and is included in flow past

Stillwater River at Pleasant Hill, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 40°03'28", long. 84 021'22", in SEi sec. 18, T. 7

 N., R. 5 E., at highway bridge three-quarters or a mile northwest of Pleasant Hill 

and 2 miles downstream from Painter Creek. Datum of gage is 846.73 feet above mean 

sea level, adjustment of 1912.

Drainage area.- 502 square miles.

Records available.- October 1916 to September 1926, December 1934 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 18 years (1916-26, 1935-43), 440 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 16,100 second-feet Mar. 19 (gage height, 14.7

 feet, from graph based on gage readings); minimum,9.8 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 26 

(gage height, 0.94 foot).

1916-1926, 1934-43: Maximum discharge, 26,400 second-feet Jan. 14, 1937 (gage 

height, 17.32 feet), from rating curve extended above 14,000 second-feet on basis of 

velocity-area study; minimum observed, 4 second-feet Oct. 17, 1920, Aug. 30, 1921, 

July 12, 1922.

Maximum stage known, 17.5 feet Mar. 25, 1913 (discharge, 51,400 second-feet, 

computed by Miami Conservancy District). This stage is not comparable with present 

gage heights because of failure of levee in 1913.

Remarks.- Records good. Diurnal fluctuation caused by power plant on Greenville Creek.

Cooperation.- Base data furnished by Miami Conservancy District. Gage-height record 

also ootained by U. S. Weather Bureau.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 38 012'06", long. 84°52f 54", at combination Broadway 

Street Highway and'Louisville & Nashville Railroad bridge, at Frankfort, Franklin 

County, 300 feet upstream from Benson Greece, and 0.9 mile upstream from lock 4. Datum 

of gage is 462.86 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum.

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

Hecoras available.- March 1905 to July 1906 (gage heights only), October 1925 to Septemoer 1943 fragmentary October 1940 to September 1942), include flow of Benson Creek.

Average discharge.- 14 years (1925-30, 1932-40, 1942-43), 7,437 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 81,500 second-feet Dec. 31 (gage height, 33.76 

reetj; minimum not determined.

1925-43: Maximum discharge, 89,500 second-feet Jan. 23, 1937; maximum gage height, 

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

Remarks.- Records good except those below 1,000 second-feet, which are poor. Discharges 

Below 1,000 second-feet are affected by diversion to mill opposite lock. Flow regulated by hydroelectric plants on Dix River (Herrlngton Lake capacity, 134,000 acrefeet) and at lock 7 on Kentucky River.

Cooperation.- Water-stage recorder graph and 21 discharge measurements furnished by 

corps or Engineers, U. S. Army. Records of change in reservoir contents furnishe 

Kentucky Utilities Co.

Per'square Runoff in 

mile inches

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of record at upper gage, regulation of mill, 

and weather records.

d Doubtful gage-height record at auxiliary gage; discharge computed on oasis of stage-discharge 

relation at upper gage and comparison with records for station at Madrid.

k Computed at upper gage using fall as determined by twice-daily readings of auxiliary gage as a 

factor.

Note.- Unless otherwise footnoted, records above 1,000 second-feet computed at upper gage (drainage area, 449 square miles), and records below 1,OOO second-feet computed at low-water gage (drainage area, 500 square miles).

Time basis; Central war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°32'50", long. 86°43'20", at Barretts Ford 

Bridge, 1.5 miles downstream from Caney Creek and 3 miles southeast of Dundee, Ohio 

County. Datum of gage is 393.18 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929. Auxiliary 

wire-weight gage at Illinois Central Railroad bridge, 1.4 miles upstream, at same 

datum.

Drainage area.--752 square miles.

Records available.- February 1940 to September 1943.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 9,840 second-feet Mar. 21; maximum gage height, 

27.av feet Mar. 21; minimum dally discharge, 13 second-feet Oct. 5, Sept. 20; minimum 

gage, height, S.08 feet Oct. 5, 6.

1940-43: Maximum discharge, 11,400 second-feet Apr. 11, 1942; maximum gage height, 

28.49 feet Apr. 20, 21, 1940; minimum daily discharge, 8.1 second-feet Sept. 19, 20, 

1941; minimum gage height observed, 2.92 feet Oct. 28, 1940.

Maximum stage known, 31.8 feet from floodmark, In January 1937.

Remarks.- Records good above 500 second-feet and poor below. Discharge computed by using 

rail as determined by twice-daily readings of auxiliary gage as a factor. Flow regulated at infrequent intervals by mill at Dundee, 6 miles below station.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 194E to September 1943

near Nora and at Indianapolis.

b Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

Time basis! Central war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
WABASH RIVER BASIN 

West Fork White River near Nora, Ind.

407

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

E., at highway bridge 2 miles east of Nora and 14 miles upstream from Fall Creek. 

Datum of gage is 710.94 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army). Auxiliary water-stage recorder 3f miles downstream, at 

different datum.

Drainage area.- 1,190 square miles.

Records available.- April 1930 to September 1943 in reports of Geological Survey. July 

1925 to September 1926 and October 1929 to fferch 1930 in report of Indiana Department 

of Conservation.

Average discharge.- 14 years! (1925-26, 1930-43), 966 second-feet.

Extremes^- Jfccimum discharge during year, 32.400 second-feet my 19 (gage height, 18.19 

feet)7 minimum, 96 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 29 j minimum daily, 128 second-feet 

Oct. 28; minimum gage height, 1.62 feet Oct. 10.

1925-26, 1929-43: Maximum discharge, that of Way 19, 1943; minimum, 36 secondfeet Sept. 10, 1936; minimum daily, 43 second-feet Sept. 29, 1941; minimum gage height, 

1.20 feet Sept. 5, 1936.

Flood of Mar. 26, 1913, reached a stage of 22.4 feet (revised), from floodmarks 

determined by Indiana State Highway Commission, superseding that published in WaterSupply Paper 838.

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

record and those below 800 second-feet, which are fair. Backwater' from dam and Intakes of Indianapolis Water Co. 3f miles below gage affects stage-discharge relation 

during some periods of low and medium flow; discharge computed by using fall between 

gage and dam as a factor. Slight regulation at low flow by power plant near 

Noblggville.

Cooperation.- Gage-height records at dam 3f miles downstream j.urnlshed by Indianapolis 

Water Co.

e Backwater from Wabash Rlverj discharge computed by.using records of stage at Qrayvllle 

factor or on basis cf records for Skillet Fork at Wayne City, 

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

Time basis; Central war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
WABASH RIVER BASIN 429 

Little Wabash River at Wilcox, 111.

Location.- Wire-weight gage, lat. 38°38'10", long. 88°17'40", in SEi sec. 3, T. 2 N., R. 

BE., .at highway bridge at Wilcox, a quarter of a mile downstream from Big Muddy Creek. 

Datum of gage is 392.29 feet (revised) above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 1,130 square miles.

Records available.- August 1914 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 29 years, 785 second-feet (computed from revised figures).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 40,500 second-feet May 20 (gage height, 25.80 

reet, from graph basexl on gage readings); minimum observed, 1.7 second-feet Sept. 3Q, 

(gage height, 2.47 feet).

1914-43: Maximum discharge, that of May 20, 1943; flood of Aug. 22 or 23, 1915, 

probably reached a higher gage height (discharge uncertain, figure previously 

published believed to be too small). Minimum discharge observed, 0.3 second-foot 

Aug. 3, Sept. 1, 1930.

Revisions.- The figures of maximum and minimum discharge for some water years have 

been revised as shown in-the following table. They supersede those published In the 

water-supply papers indicated.

SALINE RIVER BASIN 

Saline River near Junction, 111.

435

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°41'53", long. 88 016'00n , in NEi sec. 36, T. 9 

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

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

recorder 3i miles downstream at Eagle Ripple Ford and 300 feet downstream from Eagle 

Creek. Datum of each gage is 320.73 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1907.

Drainage area.- 1,040 square miles.

Records available.- October 1939 to September 1943.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 13,400 second-feet Mar. 31; maximum-gage height, 

35.96 feet Mar. 39, 30,(affected by backwater); minimum discharge during non-backwater 

periods, 3.3 second-feet Sept. 1-4 (gage height, 1.07 feet).

1939-43: Maximum discharge, that of Mar. 31, 1943; maximum gage height, that of 

Mar. 39, 30, 1943; maximum daily reversed flow, 3,310 second-fe-et Apr. 38, 1940; minimum discharge during non-backwater periods, 1.0 second-foot Oct. 14, 15, 1939, and 

Sept. 35-28, 1941; minimum gage height, 1.01 feet Sept. 25-38, 1941.

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

Ohio River.

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

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

causes diversion from Wabash River to Saline River Just above station.

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

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1942 to September 1943

Hote.- Orest-wioket manipulation at dam 1 Oct. 1 to Hov. 5, Nov. 9-23, Jan. 19-24, May 25, June 8 

to Sept. 30; discharge computed from auxiliary gage readings by weir formula plus leakage through 

wickets.

g Computed from graph based on gage readings. ''

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

Time basis; Central war time. To'convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN 447

Cumberland River at Clarksvllle, Tenn.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 36°31'2Q*, long. 87°22'40lt , at Louisville & Nashville Railroad

 bridge at Clarksville, Montgomery County, H miles upstream from Red River and 18.0 

miles upstream from lock and dam C. Datum of gage is 330.86 feet above mean sea level, 

datum of 1929. Auxiliary staff gage at lock and dam'C, 18.0 miles downstream. Datum 

of auxiliary gage is 336.30 feet above msan sea level, Sandy Hook datum.

Drainage area.- 16,000 square miles (including that of Red River).

Records available.- October 1922 to September 19£3 (gage heights only) and October 1924

 to September 19"43 In reports of Geological Survey. October 1922 to September 1924 

(gage heights only) in Tennessee Division of Geology Bulletin 34. Records include 

flow of Red River.

Average discharge.- 19 years (1924-43), 23,710 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 138,000 second-feet Mar. 20; maximum gage height,

 bi.'d feet Mar. 21, from graph based on gage readings; minimum dally discharge observed, 

1,290 second-feet Sept. 15, caused by manipulation of wickets at navigation dams; 

minimum gage height observed, 15.1 feet Sept. 7.

1924-43: Maximum discharge, £90,000 second-feet Jan. 24, 1937; maximum gage 

height, 65.7 feet Jan. £5, 1937, from floodmark; minimum discharge observed, 323 

second-feet Nov. 23, 1939; minimum gage height observed, 12.3 feet Oct. 7, 24, 1935.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of manipulation of crest wickets on

 dam IT, which are poor. Gage read once daily and auxiliary gage read four times 

daily.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record for base gage furnished by U. S. Weather Bureau. Gageheignt record for auxiliary gage and record of crest-wicket manipulation furnished by 

XJorps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

mean sea level, Sandy Hook datum. 

Drainage area.- 8,100 square miles. 

Records available.- November 1922 to September 1943. 

Average discharge?- 20 years (1923-43), 3,514 second-feet (unadjusted). 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 88,900 second-feet Dec. 30: maximum gage height,

44.34 feet Dec. 30; minimum discharge, 310 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 27, 28 (gage

height, 0.33 foot).

1922-43: Maximum discharge, 178,000 second-feet Mar. 23, 1929, by slope-area

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

floodmarks; minimum discharge, 25 second-fleet several days in November 1924, August,

September, October, 1925 (gage height, 0.00 foot, site and datum then in use).

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

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

poor. Low flow regulated by Great Falls Reservoir (see p. 464), and by small plant

on Fall ing Water River.

to September 1924 (including revised-records prior to October 1918)' in Tennessee 

Division of Geology Bulletin 34.

Average discharge.- 44 years (1899-1943), 12,860 second-feet (unadjusted).

kxcremes.- naximum discharge during year, 82,700 second-feet Dec. 31; maximum gage 

neignt, 17.79 feet Sept. 11; minimum discharge, 2,400 second-feet Nov. 17 (gage 

height, -0.73 foot).

1899-1943: Maximum discharge observed, 195,000 second-feet Mar. 1, 1902 

(gage height, 36.0 feet, site and datum then In use), from rating, curve extended 

above 130,000 second-feet; minimum discharge, 1,390 second-feet Sept. 11, 1925 

(gage height, -1.7 feet, site and datum then In use).

Maximum stage known-, 45.8 feet Mar. 10, 1867,- site and datum of gage at old city 

pumping plant, 3.2 miles downstream from base gage (discharge, 270,000 second-feet, 

from rating curve extended above 130,000 se-eond-feet), from high-water profile by . 

Corps pf Engineers, U. S. Army, and Tennessee Valley Authority.

Remarks.- Records excellent prior to Aug. 29 and good thereafter. Stage-discharge 

relation affected by backwater from Fort Loudoun Dam Sept. 1-30; discharge computed 

using fall as determined by auxiliary water-stage recorder as a factor. Flow 

regulated by Cherokee Reservoir (see p. 506) and after Feb. 19 by Douglas Reservoir 

also (see p. 505).

Change in contents in Cherokee Reservoir and, after Feb. 19, in Cherokee and Douglas Reservoirs.

Note.- For period Aug. 30, 31, when backwater affected stage-discharge-relation and slope rating 

was not effective, discharge computed ou basis of 1 discharge measurement and records for French 

Broad River below Douglas Dam and Holston River near Jefferson City.

Time basis; Central war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN 489

Tennessee River at Loudon, Tenn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°44'33", long. 84 019'56 11 , at bridge on U. S.

 Highway 11, at Loudon, Loudon County, 9f miles downstream from Little Tennessee River. 

Datum of gage Is 726.29 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936. Auxiliary water-stage recorder, at Lenolr City, 8f miles upstream. 

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

Drainage area.- 12,200 square miles.

Records available.- October 1922 to September 1943. Gage-height records collected In

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

Average discharge.- 21 years 18,490 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 134,000 second-feet Dec. 30; maximum gage

 height, 23.32 feet Dec. 31; minimum dally discharge, 4,800 second-feet Aug. 7; minimum 

gage height, 9.65 feet Mar. -6.

1922-43: Maximum discharge, 169,000 second-feet Mar. 28, 1936 (gage height, 25.75 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks.- Records good. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary 

water-stage recorder as a factor. Flow regulated by many reservoirs above station.

Kecoras available.- November 1871 to September 1894 (gage height only)-, October 1894 to 

septemoer iy<K5.

Average discharge.- 49 years (1894-1943), 50,400 second-feet.

Extremes.- naximum discharge during year, 274,000 second-feet (regulated) Jan. 2 (gage 

tieignt, 23.22 feet); minimum dally, 16,500 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 11, computed 

on basis of power-plant records at Wilson Dam; minimum gage height, 7.62 feet Mar. 4.

1871-1943: Maximum discharge observed, 444,000 second-feet Mar. 19, 1897 (gage 

height, 32.5 feet), from rating curve extended above 320,000 setond-feet; minimum. 

2,400 second-feet Oct. 8, 1925 (gage height, -3.0 feet) caused by filling of Wilson 

Reservoir. 

Remark?.- Records good. Discharges computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary 

water-stage recorder as a factor except those below about 25,000 second-feet, which 

f were computed on basis or records for power plant at'Wllson Dam. Flow regulated by 

many reservoirs above station.

Cooperation.- Power plant discharges and auxiliary water-stage recorder graph furnished 

oy Tennessee Valley Authority.

512 TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN

Mid Creek at Naples, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°22 I 51 1', long. 82°29'53'',at bridge on old Ashevllle-Hendersonvllle highway, just downstream from Byers Creek, 0.8 mile south of 

Naples, Henderson County, and 2.2 miles upstream from mouth. Datum of gage la 

2,047.48 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 109 square miles. 

Records available.- May to December 1907, September 1938 to September 1943.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,070 second-feet Dec.-29 (gage height, 10.07 

feet); minimum, 80 second-feet Sept. 16 (gage height, 1.21 feet).

1907, 1938-43: Maximum discharge, 10,800 second-feet Aug. 13, 1940 (gage height, 

13.07 feet); minimum, 30 second-feet Sept. 17, Oct. 15, 28, Dec. 6, 1907.

Floods of July 1916 and August 1928 reached stages of 21 feet and 15 feet, 

respectively, from Information by Tennessee Valley Authority.

Remarks.- Records good except those affected by return of overbank storage or those for 

periods of no gage-height record, which are fair. Several small artificial ponds may 

produce slight regulation. Mud Creek received sewage from city of Hendersonvllle, 

which diverts Its water supply from tributaries of Mills River.

Time basisi Eastern war time. To convert war time to

29, Jan. 19; discharge computed on basis of 

itandard time, subtract 1 hour.
556 TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN 

Little Tennessee River at Judson, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°24'20", long. 83°33'45", a quarter of a mile 

downstream from highway bridge at railroad station at Judson, Swain County, and a 

quarter of a mile upstream from Sawyer Branch. Datum of gage Is 1,521.76 feet above 

mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 664 square miles.

Records available.- June 1896 to September 1913 (at Southern Railway bridge 1 mile downstream) and April 1912 to September 1943 In reports of Geological Survey. 1896-1924 

(Including revised records prior to Apr. 16, 1912) In Tennessee Division of Geology 

Bulletin 34. 1896-1923 (Including revised records prior to Apr. 16, 1912) In North 

Carolina Department of Conservation and Development Bulletin 34. (Revised records 

prior to March 1905 in Tennessee Division of Geology Bulletin 34 supersede revised 

records of same period In North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development 

Bulletin 34.)

Average discharge.- 47 years (1896-43),'1,759 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 14,600 second-feet Dec. 29 (gage height, 25.23 

feet); minimum, 366-second-feet Nov. 22; minimum dally, 583 second-feet Oct. 20.

1896-1943: Maximum discharge observed, 40,800 second-feet Feb. 28, 1902 (gage 

height, 16.19 feet, site and datum then In use), from rating curve extended above 3,000 

second-feet; minimum discharge, 165 second-feet Oct-. 10, 1925 (gage height, 16.70 feet); 

minimum dally, 200 second-feet Sept. 6, 7, 1925.

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

which are good. Diurnal fluctuation caused by power plant above station and considerable regulation from headwater reservoir.

TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN 557

Little Tennessee River near Fontana, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°26'50", long. 83°48'25", 1,300 feet downstream 

from Fontana Dam (under construction), 0.7 mile downstream from Payne Branch, and 1.1 

miles southwest of Fontana, Swain County. Datum of gage is 1,275.09 feet above mean 

sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 1,571 square miles (revised).

Records available.- August 1938 to September 1943.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 60,000 second-feet Dec. 30 (gage height, 15.81 

feet), from rating curve extended above 13,800 second-feet by logarithmic plotting; 

minimum, 1,450 second-feet Nov. 16 (gage height, 4.52 feet).

1938-43: Maximum discharge, 71,200 second-feet Aug. 30, 1940 (gage height, 15.94 

feet), by computation of flow into cheoah Reservoir below station; minimum, 482 secondfeet Jan. 3, 1940 (gage height, 3.62 feet), result of low temperature.

Floods of May 1840 and March 1867 reached stages of 21 feet and 23 feet, respectively, from flood profiles by Tennessee Valley Authority.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of shifting-control, indefinite stagedischarge relation, or no gage-height record, which are fair. Some diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants above station. Considerable regulation by headwater 

reservoirs (seepp.564, 566 for change in contents of reservoirs). Occasional regulation due to construction operations at Fontana Dam.

Rating tables, water year 1942-43, except periods of shifting control or Indefinite 

stage-discharge relation (gage height, In feet, and discharge, In second-feet)
