". Comparison of discharge at three key gaging stations during 1958 water 

year with median discharge for 25-year period........................
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF OHIO RIVER BASIN EXCEPT CUMBERLAND AND TENNESSEE RIVER BASINS, 1958

This volume is one of a series of 13 reports presenting measurements of stage, discharge, 

and content of streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the water year 

ending September 30, 1358. 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 3D, 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 many other 

points. In addition discharge measurements are made at miscellaneous sites. The records 

for the water year October 1, 1957, to September 30, 1958, at gaging stations, partialrecord stations, and miscellaneous sites in the Ohio River basin, except Cumberland and 

Tennessee River basins, are given in this report.

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS 3

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 on page 2. All gaging station records for Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia and some for Illinois have been 

analysed 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. In 

addition, the records for Illinois and Kentucky give the highest mean discharge for periods of 3, 7, 15, 30, and 1£0 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 Provisional records of discharge, information on the availability of electronic computer results, and other unpublished data concerning the gaging-station records may generally be obtained from the 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 streamflow 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 the 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 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.

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 noncontributing areas, 

within the area unless otherwise noted.

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

published reports.
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 abo/e 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 same 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 3A-0315.00, the station number shown in this report is 

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

3A for all stations in this report and is therefore omitted.

EXPLANATION OF 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 rating 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 wtiich the monthly and the yearly mean discharge 

are computed. If the stage-discharge relation is subject to change because of frequent or
EXPLANATION OF DATA 5

continual change in the physical features that form the control, the daily mean discharge 

is determined by the shifting-control method, in which correction factors based on individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used in applying 

the gage heights to the rating tables. 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 by 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 is shown on Page IV for the purpose 

of finding the day of the week for any date.

The description of the station gives the location, drainage area, records available, 

type and history of gages, average discharge, extremes of discharge, general remarks, and 

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 the periods for which there are published records generally equivalent to those at 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 where 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; the minimum discharge if 

there is little or no regulation; the minimum daily discharge if there is extensive regu-. 

lation (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 

545478 O-60-2
6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1958, PART 3-A

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 are 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 nonrecording 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 been 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 the 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 published in the annual 

series of reports .

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

discharge for the greater part of the open-water period was determined by the shiftingcontrol method, the slope method, or other spe:ial 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 daily table gives the discharge corresponding to the daily 

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

not indicate the true daily 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 daily 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 twice-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.
EXPLANATION OF DATA 7

In the table of daily discharge, the figures for the maximum day and the minimum 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 head "Ac-ft"). Figures for cubic feet per 

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

large noncontributing 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 

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 loads, 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 entitles "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 quality-of-water reports. At many other 

gaging stations quality-of-water data are obtained at irregular intervals and 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 tites are given in a third taMe. Occasionally, a series uf 

discharge measurements are made within a short time period to investigate the seepage 

gains ur losses ulong a reach of a stream or to determine the low-flow characteristics of 

an area, ouch measurements are iriven in special tables after the list of measurements at 

miscellaneous sites.

ACCURACY UF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of streamflow data depends primarily on (l) the stability of the stagedischarge relation or, if the control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements, 

and (x) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of discharge, and interpretation of records.

The station description states the degree of accuracy of the records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the error in the daily records is believed to be less than 

5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," probably more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean discharge and runoff are, 

in general, more 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.

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 shorf the water supply available at the stations for further development, 

because water must first be supplied to existing irrigation systems.

PUBLICATIONS

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 u 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.

RECORDS OF DISCHARGE COLLECTED BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 11

A compilation of records for the area covered "by this report through September 1950 has 

been published as Water-Supply Paper 1305. That report contains a summary of monthly and 

annual discharges for all previously published records as well as some records not contained in the annual series of water-supply papers. All records were reexamined and revised where warranted. Estimates of discharge were made to fill short gaps whenever 

practical.

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 

stage and discharge of many streams during major floods has been included in special reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey or other agencies. The more recent of these special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic information and

RECORDS OF DISCHARGE COLLECTED BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

The Corps of Engineers has been collecting records of daily discharge of Licking River 

near Butler, Kentucky, beginning in 1946 and the Agricultural Research Service of the 

United States Department of Agriculture has been collecting records uf runoff from selected 

areas in the Ohio River basin as follows: near Blacksburg, Va., beginning in 1939, 1 area 

of less than 20 acres; beginning in 1951, 2 areas of less than 10 acres each, and beginning 

in 1952, 1 area of less than 10 acres; near Christiansburg, Va., beginning in 1957, 1 area 

of 750 acres; near Terrys Fork, Va. , beginning in 1957, 1 area of 950 acres; near Pulaski , 

Va., beginning in 1957, 1 area of 2,850 acres; near Cos hoc-ton, Ohio, beginning in 1937, 

4 areas of 500 to 5,000 acres each, 5 areas of 100 to 500 acres each, 2 areas of 50 to 

100 acres each, 2 areas uf 20 to 50 acres each, and 20 areas of less than 10 acres each.

HYDRGLOGIC CONDITIONS

Streamflow was excessive In all except a small part of the area covered by this report, 

averaging 25 to 70 percent more than the median. Outstanding floods occurred in Kentucky 

during November, in Indiana and Ohio during June, and in western Pennsylvania during July. 

For each month April to August one or more key gaging stations had record-high runoff. 

The only deficient runoff was in the northern part of the area during February, March, and 

April.

Figure 2 on page 13, for which records for three long-term representative gaging stations were used, shows a comparison of the monthly and yearly mean discharges during the 

1958 water year with the median discharge for the period 1921-45.

Records available.--August 1904 to September 1928, October 1934 to September 1958. Monthly 

discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1305.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder and concrete dam control. Datum of gage is 771.32 ft above mean 

sea level, adjustment of 1912. Prior to Sept. 30, 1928, chain gage at site 4,000 ft 

downstream at different datum. Oct. 1, 1934, to Apr.19, 193$ staff gage at present 

site and datum.

Average discharge.--48 years, 15,700 cfs (adjusted for storage since 1941).

Extremes .--Maximum discharge during year, 94,000 cfs July 15 (gage height, 19.50 ft); minimum, 810 cfs Oct. 13, 14 (gage height, 11.22 ft).

1904-S8, 1934-58: Maximum discharge, £69,000 cfs Mar. 26, 1913 (gage height, 30.7 ft, 

from floodmark, site and datum then in use); minimum observed, 570 cfs Sept 15-17, 1913.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of twice-daily tape-gage or outside staffgage readings, which are fair. Plow regulated by Chautauqua Lake (see p. 19 ), and 

since 1940 by Tionesta Creek, since 1952 by East Branch Clarion River, since 1924 by 

Piney, and since 1941 by Mahoning Creek Reservoirs (see p. 57 ). Records of chemical 

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

River.

Drainage area.--451 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1913 to March 1936, October 1938 to September 1958. Monthly 

discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1305. Monthly figures adjusted for 

storage and diversion for October 1918 to September 1921, published in WSP 503 and 523, 

have been found in error and should not be used. Published as at Johnstown, 1914-36. 

Gage-height records collected in this vicinity since 1885 are contained in reports of 

U. S. Weather Bureau.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1,183.84 ft above mean sea level, city of 

Johnstown datum. Prior to July 24, 1934, chain gage and July 24, 1934, to Mar. 18, 

1936, wire-weight gage, at site 3| miles downstream at different datum. Dec. 8, 1939, 

to Jan. 30, 1940, chain gage at site 50 ft downstream at present datum.

Average discharge. 20 years (1938-58), 748 cfs (adjusted for storage and diversion).

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 7,600 cfs Apr. 6 (gage height, 7.98 ft); minimum, 

13 cfs Oct. 5 (gage height, 1.52 ft).

1913-36, 1938-58: Maximum discharge, 59,000 cfs Mar. 18, 1936 (gage height, 30.26 

ft, from high-water mark, site and datum then in use), from rating curve extended above 

8,000 cfs on basis of slope-area and contracted-opening measurements of peak flow; minimum observed, 5 cfs Sept. 8, 1929.

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

by mine pumpage and by reservoirs and diversion above station; the five largest reservoirs have a combined capacity of 1,721,000,000 cu ft. Figures of daily discharge do 

not include diversion from Stony Creek intake and Quemahoning Creek Reservoir to plants 

of Bethlehem Steel Co. , and from Mill Creek, Dalton Run, and North Fork Bens Creek Reservoirs for water supply of city of Johnstown.

bridge at East Conemaugh, Cambria County, 0.3 mile downstream from Clapboard Run, and 

2.5 miles upstream from confluence with Stony Creek.

Drainage area. 183 sq mi.

Records available. April 1939 to September 1958.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1,207.92 ft above mean sea level (Corps of 

Engineers bench mark). Prior to Feb. 1, 1940, chain gage at site 100 ft upstream at 

same datum.

Average discharge.--19 years, 318 cfs (adjusted for storage and diversion).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 3,630 cfs Aug. 1 (gage height, 5.41 ft); minimum, 

6.3 cfs Oct. 6 (gage height, 1.21 ft); minimum daily, 7.2 cfs Oct. 13, 15, 16.

1939-58: Maximum discharge, 12,300 cfs Oct. 16, 1954 (gage height, 8.86 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 4,100 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow; 

minimum observed, 3.6 cfs Sept. 24, 1939.

Maximum discharge known, 28,800 cfs Mar. 17, 18, 1936, by slope-area measurement.

Remarks.--Records fair. Flow regulated by reservoirs and diversion above station; the two 

most effective reservoirs have a combined capacity of 245,700,000 cu ft. Figures of 

daily discharge do not include diversion at South Fork intake to Cambria plant of Bethlehem Steel Co., from Saltlick Run Reservoir to city of Johnstown, and from Wilmore Reservoir (capacity, 137,000,000 cu ft; average diversion, about 2.6 cfs) to Pennsylvania 

Railroad.

54 KISKIMINETAS RIVER BASIN

485. Kiskiminetas River at Vandergrift, Pa.

Location.--Lat 40°36'20", long 79°33'15", on left bank a third of a mile upstream from 

bridge on State Highway 56 at Vandergrift, Westmoreland County, and 2 miles upstream 

from Pine Run.

Drainage area. 1,825 sq mi.

Records available.--August 1937 to September 1958. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1305. October 1920 to September 1932 (gage heightB and discharge 

measurements only) in reports of Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 769.40 ft above mean sea level (Corps of 

Engineers bench mark). Oct. 1, 1920, to Sept. 30, 1930, float gage and Oct. 1,1930, to 

Sept. 30, 1932, water-stage recorder, at site two-thirds of a mile downstream at different datum.

Average discharge.--21 years, 3,057 cfs (adjusted for storage and diversion).

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 21,800 cfs May 10 (gage height, 14.20 ft); minimum, 260 cfs Oct. 2 (gage height, 3.00 ft); minimum daily 263 cfs Oct. 2, 5.

1937-58: Maximum discharge, 71,900 cfs Mar. 31, 1940 (gage height, 25.70 ft); minimum, 56 cfs Oct. 15, 16, 1952; minimum daily, 60 cfs Oct. 15, 1952.

Maximum stage known, 41.64 ft Mar. 18, 1936 from floodmark at present site (discharge, 185,000 cfs, by slope-area measurement).

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

those computed from twice-daily tape-gage readings, which are fair. Flow regulated 

since 1952 by Conemaugh River Reservoir (see p. 57 ), since 1942 by Loyalhanna Creek 

Reservoir (see p. 58 ), and other reservoirs above station, the 11 most effective of 

which have a combined capacity of 3,425,000,000 cu ft. Figures of daily discharge do 

not include diversion from Beaver Run Reservoir to plants and communities downstream, 

nor into the Monongahela River basin. Records of chemical analyses for the water year 

1958 are given in WSP 1571.

585. West Fork River at Butcherville, W. Va.

Location. Lat 39°05'25", long 80°28'05", on right bank at Butcherville, Lewis County, 

0.5 mile upstream from Freemans Creek, 3,500 ft downstream from bridge on WestonClarksburg Interurban electric railway, and 3 miles north of Weston.

Drainage area.--181 sq ml.

Records available. April 1915 to September 1958. Monthly discharge only for some periods, 

published In tfSP 1305.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage Is 993.0 ft above mean sea level (State Road 

Commission bench mark). Prior to Feb. 17, 1937, chain gage at Interurban bridge 3,500 

ft upstream. Feb. 17, 1937, to Apr. 7, 1939, staff gage at site 2,500 ft upstream. 

Prior to Oct. 1, 1942, at datum 10.0 ft lower.

Average discharge.--43 years, 307 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 5,900 cfs July 23 (gage height, 9.54 ft); minimum, 0.5 cfs Oct. 6 (gage height, 0.44 ft).

1915-58: Maximum discharge, 18,000 cfs June 25, 1950 (gage height, 16.81 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 7,500 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow; 

no flow at times during October 1919, September, October, December 1922, caused by 

either diversion or pondage at small dam upstream.

Maximum stage known, 17 ft In 1888 at site 3,500 ft upstream, present datum, from 

Information by local residents. The stage on that day may have been affected by backwater from a dam which has since been washed out.

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

600. Salem Fork subwatershed No. HA (Varner Hollow Run) near Salem, W. Va.

Location.--Lat 39°18'25", long 80°34'25", at Mason Dam on'Varner Hollow Run, a tributary 

to Jacobs Run, 0.8 mile upstream from mouth and 2 miles northwest of Salem, Harrison 

County.

Drainage area. 0.29 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1954 to September 195,8.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete drop inlet. Datum of gage is 1,127.18 ft

above mean sea level (Soil Conservation Service bench mark).

Extremes. - -Maximum outflow during yea-r, 9.8 cfs May 5 (gage height, 11.98 ft); no flow 

Oct. 1-23, May 28 to June 12, July 3-5, Aug. 23, Sept. 13-16. Maximum inflow, 63 cfs 

(average for 15-minute interval) May 5, computed from outflow and change in reservoir 

contents .

1954-58: Maximum outflow, 11 cfs Aug. 6, 1956 (gage height, 13.95 ft); no flow for 

several days each year.

Remarks.--Records good. Records of daily discharge are outflow from reservoir, determined 

from stage-discharge relation for outlet structure. The reservoir is formed by earth 

dam which was completed October 1954. The outlet structure is a 3-foot square drop 

inlet connected to a 24-inch concrete outlet pipe. A 12-inch diameter asbestos cement 

pipe connects to the drop inlet, with the bottom of the pipe at 5.87 ft which is zero 

flow. The gage height of emergency spillway control is 18.4 ft. The gage height of 

drop inlet weir is 13.7 ft. Reservoir capacity at top of drop inlet, 22.4 acre-ft. 

Capacity at emergency spillway level, 46.0 acre-ft. Records of suspended sediment 

loads and water temperatures are given in WSP 1571.

The following table gives the relation between gage height and outflow, reservoir 

capacity, and water-surface ar^a during the 1958 water vear.

MONONGAHELA RIVER BASIN 75

605. Salem Pork at Salem, W. Va.

Location. Lat 39°17'10", long 80°32'35", on left bank 0.2 mile downstream from Dog Run, 

0.8 mile upstream from Cherrycamp Run, and 0.9 mile northeast of Salem, Harrison County.

DraLnage area. 8.32 sq mi.

Records available. January 1951 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder with artificial control. Datum of gage is 1,026.04 ft above 

mean sea level, adjustment of 1944. Prior to Apr. 20, 1951, staff gage on left bank 

400 ft downstream at same datum.

Average discharge. V years, 11.7 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year. 1,030 cfs May 5 (gage height, 8.14 ft); minimum, 

0.06 cfs Oct. 5 (gage height, 2.55 ft).

1951-58: Maximum discharge, 2,280 cfs Aug. 22, 1955 (gage height, 11.88 ft, from 

floodmarks); no flow during several months of various years.

The flood of June 25, 1950, reached a stage of 13.6 ft, from floodmarks (discharge 

2,900 cfs, from rating curve extended above 1,000 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement 

of peak flow).

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

The flow from 1,294 acres above station was partly controlled, but not diverted, by 

six floodwater detention reservoirs with a total combined detention capacity of 

329 acre-ft below the emergency spillways. A seventh, and last, detention reservoir 

was completed in September 1958 with a drainage area of 204 acres and a capacity of 

47 acre-ft below the emergency spillway. There is also a municipal water supply reservoir having a drainage area of 566 acres and a capacity of 155 acre-ft. The first 

floodwater detention reservoir in this basin was completed in October 1954.

Revisions (water years). WSP 1435: 1955.

78 MONONGAHELA RIVER BASIN

620. Monongahela River at lock 15, at Hoult , W. Va.

Drainage area. --2, 388 sq mi.

Records available .--April 1915 to September 1926, October 1938 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 849.58 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1907. Prior to Sept. 30, 1926, staff gage at same site and datum.

Average discharge .--31 years, 4,157 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes . Maximum discharge during year, 33,200 cfs May 5 (gage height, 14.38 ft); minimum daily, 436 cfs Oct. 5.

1915-26, 1938-58: Maximum discharge observed, 91,500 cfs Jan. 2, 1919 (gage height, 

21.2 ft), from rating curve extended above 50,000 cfs; minimum daily, 33 cfs Sept. 27, 

Oct. 2, 1917; minimum daily since October 1938, 195 efs Jan. 27, 1940.

Flood in 1888, before lock 15 was built, reached a stage of about 26 ft.

Remarks .--Records good above 3,000 cfs and fair below, except those for periods of indefinite stage-discharge relation or no gage-height record, which are poor. Since October 

1938, published records below 800 cfs do not include lockage or leakage through lock 

gates and valves, both of which are usually a very small percentage of the total flow. 

Flow partly regulated by Tygart Reservoir (see p. 105).

Revisions (water

MONONOAHELA RIVER BASIN

750. Monongahela River at Charleroi, Pa.

Location. -Lat 40°08'30", long 79°53'35", on right bank on land guide wall 1,100 ft upstream from dam at lock 4, at Charleroi, Washington County, half a mile downstream from 

Maple Creek, and at mile 41.5.

Drainage area. 5,213 sq mi.

Records available. October 1933 to September 1958. Monthly discharge prior to 1940, adjusted for reservoir contents, published in WSP 1305. Records for March 1886 to March 

1905 (high-water periods only), published in WSP 169, have been found to be unreliable 

and should not be used (peak discharge of July 11, 1888, as published in WSP 783, is 

still considered reliable).

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete dam. Datum of gage is 735.33 ft above mean sea 

level (Corps of Engineers bench mark).

Average discharge. 25 years, 9,134 cfs (adjusted for storage).

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 70.300 cfs May 6 (gage height, 12.49 ft); minimum, 636 cfs Oct. 5 (gage height, 2.48 ft).

1933-58: Maximum discharge, 140,000 cfs Oct. 16, 1954; maximum gage height, 22.47ft 

Mar. 18, 1936; minimum discharge not determined.

Maximum stage known, 42.0 ft on lower gage, at old lock 1 mile downstream, or about 

26.1 ft on present gage, July 11, 1888 (discharge, about 156,000 cfs).

Remarks. Records good above 3,000 cfs, fair between 1,000 and 3,000 cfs, and poor

below 1,000 cfs. Flow regulated by locks above station and since 1938 by Tygart Reservoir (see p. 105) and since 1926 by Lake Lynn (combined capacity, 358,900 acre-ft). 

Records of chemical analyses and water temperatures for the water year 1958 are given 

in WSP 1571.

138 OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM

1150. Ohio River at St. Marys, W. Va.

Location. Lat 39°23'25", long 81°12 I 30'', on left bank at downstream side of bridge on

 U.S. Highway 50 (alternate) at St. Marys, Pleasants County, 0.9 mile downstream from 

Middle Island Creek and at mile 155.0.

Drainage area. 26,850 sq ml, approximately.

Records available. January 1938 to September 1958 (fragmentary prior to November 1939

 and high water only since October 1952). Gage-height records collected at same site 

since 1904 are contained In reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

;e. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage Is 577.30 ft above mean sea level, Sandy Hook 

datum. Prior to Nov. 29, 1939, wire-weight gage at same site and datum. Auxiliary 

water-stage recorder on left bank 1.5 miles upstream from lock and dam 17 and 11 miles 

downstream from base gage. Prior to Feb. 22, 1951, auxiliary water-stage recorder or 

lock gage at lock 17.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 186,000 cfs May 9; maximum gage height, 28.71 ft 

May 8; minimum daily discharge not determined.

1938-58: Maximum discharge, 421,000 cfs Jan. 1, 1943; maximum gage height, 46.67 ft 

Jan. 1, 1943; minimum daily discharge not determined; minimum gage height recorded, 

3.45 ft Jan. 14, 1940 (dam down at lock 17).

Maximum stage known since at least 1884, 54.2 ft in March 1913.

Remarks. Records good except those below 20,000 cfs and those for periods of no gageheight record at base gage, which are poor. Discharge less than 15,000 cfs on days for 

which no discharge is shown. Flow partly regulated by locks, dams, and reservoirs above 

station.

RevisIons. Previously published figures of monthly discharge in cubic feet per second per 

square mile and runoff in inches for the water years 1938-48, 1955-57, may be subject to 

considerable error due to regulation by several reservoirs upstream. These figures 

should not be used.

146 MUSKINGUM RIVER BASIN

1225. Tuscarawas River below Dover Dam, near Dover, Ohio

Location. Lat 40°31'49", long 81°25'51", in T.9 N., R.2 W. , on left bank at downstream 

side of bridge on State Highway 16, 2.2 miles downstream from Dover Dam, Z\ miles 

northeast of Dover, Tuscarawas County, and 3 miles upstream from Sugar Creek.

Drainage area.--1,398 sq mi.

Records available. October 1923 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 861.51 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. Prior to Aug. 30, 1930, chain gage at same site and datum.

Average discharge.--35 years, 1,378 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 6,100 cfs Aug. 11 (gage height, 6,90 ft); minimum, 96 cfs Sept. 16 (gage height, 1.02 ft).

1923-58: Maximum discharge, 26,400 cfs Jan. 26, 1937 (gage height, 15.51 ft); minimum, 2.3 cfs July 20, 1956, Oct. 27, 1958; minimum gage height, -1.64 ft July 20, 1946; 

minimum daily discharge, 6.5 cfs Oct. 26, 1948.

Flood in March 1913 reached a stage of about 23.5 ft (discharge, 62,000 cfs, computed by Corps of Engineers).

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

are fair. Ohio Canal diverts small amount of water from river at Portage Lakes, 3 miles 

south of Akron and since 1939 from Nimisila Creek; part of diverted water flows into 

Cuyahoga River basin. Flow regulated beginning 1936 by four flood-control reservoirs 

(see p. 179).

Revisions (water years). WSP 758: Drainage area. WSP 803: 1933(M).

MUSKINGUM RIVER BASIN 179 

Reservoirs in Muskingum River basin, Ohio

During the years 1935 to 1938, the Corps of Engineers constructed 14 dams on the 

Muskingum River and tributaries for the Muskingum 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 Senecaville. 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 Senecaville, regulation at 

higher stages can be assisted by operation of 11^-foot taintor gates on spillway.

The total capacity of these reservoirs at spillway level is 1,539,000 acre-ft, of which 

211,400 acre-ft is retained in the conservation pools.

The Corps of Engineers assumed operation of the reservoirs on Aug. 13, 1939, and furnished gage-height records and capacity curves used to compute data contained herein.

OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 183

1510. Ohio River at Parkersburg, W. Va.

Location. Lat 39°16'05", long 81°33'50", on left bank on downstream side of bridge on 

 5. S. Highway 50 at Parkersburg, Wood,County, 0.3 mile upstream from Little Kanawha 

River and at mile 184.4.

Drainage area. 35,600 sq mi, approximately.

Records available . January 1940 to September 1958. Gage-height records collected at same 

site since 1888 are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 562.01 ft above mean sea level, Sandy Hook 

datum. Prior to Apr. 25, 1950, at Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge 0.3 mile downstream at same datum. Auxiliary water-stage recorder 0.4 mile downstream from lock and 

dam 18 and 4.0 miles upstream from base gage; prior to Nov. 13, 1948, at lock 18.

Average discharge.--18 years, 50,900 cfs.

Extremes. Maxim-urn discharge during year, S24.000 cfs May 9; maximum gage height, 33.51 ft 

May 8; minimum daily discharge, 5,360 cfs Oct. 6; minimum gage height not determined.

1940-58: Maximum discharge, 440,000 cfs Jan. 1, 1943; maximum gage height, 49.03 ft 

Jan. 1, 1943; minimum daily discharge recorder 2,290 cfs Oct. 1, 1955.

Maximum stage known, 58.9 ft Mar. 29, 1913 (discharge, 593,000 cfs).

Remarks. Records good except those below 10,000 cfs and those for periods of doubtful or 

no gage-height record at base gage, which are fair. Flow partly regulated by locks, 

dams, and reservoirs upstream.

Revisions. Previously published figures of monthly discharge in cubic feet per second per 

square mile and runoff in inches for the water years 1940-48, 1954-57, may be subject to 

to considerable error due to regulation by several reservoirs upstream. These figures 

should not be used.

OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 199

1600. Ohio River at Pomeroy, Ohio

Location.--Lat 38°50'25", long 82°08'30", on left bank at Point Pleasant, Mason County, 

W. Va., 1,200 ft upstream from Kanawha River and at mile £65.4.

Drainage area .--40,SOU sq mi, approximately,

Records available.--February to April 1936, December 1936 to February 1937, February 1940 

to September 1958 (discharge not compiled for low-water periods since September 1952). 

Gage-height records collected at same site since 1889 are contained in reports of U. S. 

Weather Bureau.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 514.10 ft above mean sea level, Sandy Hook

"datum. In 1936 and 1937 staff gages at locks 24 and 25 at different daturas. Feb. 7,

194U, to Sept. 30, 1951, water-stage recorder at site 0.3 mile upstream at present

datum. Auxiliary water-stage recorder near left bank on downstream side of pier of

bridge on U. 3. Highway 33 at Pomeroy, 13.8 miles upstream from base gage.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 275,oOO cfs May 8; maximum gage height, 46.61 ft 

May 9; maximum gage height at auxiliary gage, 46.38 ft May 9; minimum daily discharge 

not determined; minimum gage height, 22.84 ft Sept. 19.

1936-37, 1940-58: Maximum discharge, 554,000 cfs Jan. 27, 1937 (gage height, 67.7ft, 

pass sill gage, lock 24); minimum daily discharge not determined; minimum gage height 

since February 194U, 22.52 ft Sept. 10, 1956.

Maximum discharge known, 633,000 cfs Mar. 30, 1913 (gage height, 70.1 ft, pass sill 

gage, lock 24).

Remarks. Records fair above 60,000 cfs and poor below. Discharge less than 35,000 cfs on 

days for which no discharge is shown. Flow partly regulated by locks, dams, and reservoirs above station.

Revisions (water years). WSP 1505: 1955. Previously'published figures of monthly discharge in cubic 1'eet per second per square mile and runoff in inches for the water 

years 1936-37, 1940-48, 1954-57, may be subject to considerable error due to regulation 

by several reservoirs upstream. These figures should not be used.

KANAWHA RIVER BASIN

Location.--Lat 36°30' , long 81°23' , on left bank a quarter of a mile downstream from 

bridge on State Highway 16 at Crumples, Ashe County, 6 miles upstream from mouth, and 

7|- miles northeast of Jefferson.

Drainage area.--277 sq mi.

Records available.--July to December 1900 and June to December 1901 (gage heights and discharge measurements only), August 1908 to September 1916, July 1928 to December 1958 

(discontinued). Published as "at Weaversford" 1900 to 1901 and as "near Grumpier" 

1908-16. Records of discharge for July to December 1900 and June to December 1901 in 

WSP 83 have been found to be unreliable and should not be used.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 2,518.81 ft above mean sea level, unadjusted. Prior to Sept. 30, 1916, staff cr nhain gages at sites from half a mile to 

l| miles upstream from mouth at various datums. July 11, 1928, to Nov. 5, 1930, chain 

gage at bridge a quarter of a mile upstream at different datum.

Average discharge. 38'years (1908-16, 1928-58), 472 cfs .

Extremes. 1957-58: Maximum discharge during water year, 3,930 cfs May 7 (gage height, 

5.55 ft); minimum, 132 cfs Sept. 29, 30; minimum daily, 149 cfs Sept. 11, 15.

1958: Maximum discharge during period October to December, 7,950 cfs Dec. 28 (gage 

height, 8.33 ft); minimum not determined, occurred during period of ice effect.

1908-16, 1928-58: Maximum discharge, 73,000 cfs Aug. 14, 1940 (gage height, 23.0 ft, 

from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 3,400 cfs on basis of slope-area 

measurements of peak flow at gage heights 10.72 and 23.0 ft; minimum, 38 cfs Sept. 19, 

1932; minimum daily, 53 cfs Sept. 19, 1932, Sept. 19, 1954.

The floods of Sept. 12, 1878, and July 15, 1916, reached stages 5.4 and 6.6 ft lower, 

respectively, than that of 1940 at the gage observer's home three-quarters of a mile 

upstream from present gage site, from information furnished by gage observer. Floods 

of Apr. 20 and May 22, 1901, reached a stage of 16.4 ft, site and datum then in use, 

from flood reference mark (discharge, 23,500 cfs). Stage and discharge for flood of 

Sept. 12, 1878, published in WSP 536 has been found to be unreliable and should not be 

used.

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

which are poor. Some diurnal fluctuation at low flow caused by powerplant above station.

Revisions (water years). WSP 923: 1916. WSP 1275: 1909-10, 19ll(M) , 1912, 1913(M),

Location. Lat 37°08' , long 80°34' , on left bank 2,000 ft downstream from bridge on U. S.

Highway 11 at Radford , Montgomery County, 5 miles downstream from Little River, and

5-| miles downstream from Claytor Dam. 

Drainage area.--2 .748 sq mi. 

Records available. October 1907 to September 1915, August 1939 to September 1958. Records

for August 1898 to September 1907, published in WSP 27, 36, 48, 65, 83, 98, 128, 169,

205, 243 and 536, have been found to be unreliable and should not be used.. Gage-height

records collected at same site since 1895, but at different datum, are contained in

reports of U. S. Weather Bureau. 

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1,712.36 ft above mean sea level, datum of

1929. Prior to August 1939, chain gage at highway bridge 2,000 ft upstream at datum

0.85 ft lower.

Average discharge. 27 years (1907-15, 1939-58), 3,766 cfs (adjusted). 

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 19,700 cfs May 8 (gage height, 7.02 ft); minimum,

595 cfs Aug. 29 (gage height, 1.52 ft); minimum daily, 828 cfs Sept. 14.

1907-15, 1939-58: Maximum discharge, 218,000 cfs Aug. 14, 1940 (gage height, 35.96

ft), from rating curve extended above 73,000 cfs on basis of records for other stations

on New River and flow over Claytor Dam (computed by Appalachian Electric Power Co.);

minimum, 165 cfs Aug. 25, 27, 1944 (gage height, 1.08 ft); minimum dally, 550 cfs

Aug. 22, 1911.

Flood of July 16, 1916, reached a stage of 35.7 ft, at site and datum used by Geological Survey 1904-7, from reports of U. S. Weather Bureau. 

Remarks. Records good. Flow regulated since 1939 by Claytor Reservoir (usable capacity,

100,000 acre-ft). Some additional regulation at low flow by dam and powerplant of

Little River, half a mile above mouth. 

Revisions (water years). WSF 873: Drainage area. WSP 953: 1940-41. WSP 1305: 1908-12.

1300. New River at Bluestone Dam, W. Va.

Location. Lat 37°38'35", long 80°53'00", on right bank a quarter of a mile downstream

from Bluestone Dam, Summers County, 0.7 mile upstream from Greenbrier River, and 2 miles

upstream from Hinton, Summers County. 

Drainage area. 4,604 sq mi. 

Records available. October 1923 to September 1958. Published as "near Hinton 1943-46.

Monthly discharge only October, November 1923 ,.published in WSP 1305. 

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1,360.00 ft above mean sea level, datum of

1929 (Corps of Engineers bench mark). Dec. 1, 1923, to Nov. 19, 1934, staff gage and

Nov. 20, 1934, to July 1, 1947, water-stage recorder, at site 1.3 miles upstream at

datum 8.49 ft higher. Auxiliary water-stage recorder 0.7 mile downstream from present

base gage.

Average discharge. 35 years, 5,578 cfs (adjusted for storage). 

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 44,600 cfs May 12 (gage height, 12.61 ft); rainimum daily, 712 cfs May 9.

1923-58: Maximum discharge, 232,000 cfs Aug. 15, 1940 (gage height, 31.0 ft, from

floodmarks, present site and datum), by slope-area measurement of peak flow; minimum,

10 cfs (estimated during construction at Bluestone Dam) Aug. 30, 1948; minimum daily,

178 cfs Jan. 29, 1952.

Floods of Apr. 21 and May 23, 1901, reached a stage of 24.2 ft, former site and

datum (discharge, 234,000 cfs). Flood in 1878 probably reached a higher stage. 

Remarks. Records good except those below 4,000 cfs and those for periods of backwater 

 from Greenbrier River, which are fair. Flow regulated since 1939 by Claytor Reservoir

and since 1949 by Bluestone Reservoir (combined usable capacity, 721,000 acre-ft).

SCIOTO RIVER BASIN 285

2275. Scioto River at Columbus, Ohio

Location.--Lat 39°54'34", long 83°00'32", on right bank at sewage-treatment works of city 

of Columbus, Franklin County, 0.4 mile downstream from bridge on Frank Road.

Drainage area. 1,624 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1920 to September 1958. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1305.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 680.40 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. Prior to Oct. 1, 1924, staff gage at site 200 ft upstream at same datum.

Average discharge. 38 years, 1,343 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 15,600 cfs June 13 (gage height, 18.51 ft); minimum, 122 cfs Oct. 15 (gage height, 5.85 ft).

1920-58: Maximum discharge, 40,300 cfs Jan. 27, 1952; maximum gage height, 24.70 ft 

Mar. 21, 1927, Jan. 27, 1952; minimum discharge, 42 cfs Sept. 6, 1930.

Maximum stage known, 25.9 ft Mar. 25, 1913 (discharge, 138,000 cfs, 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. Flow regulated by 0'Shaughnessy Reservoir since 1924, Griggs and. 

Delaware Reservoirs since 1951 (see p. 297). Records include sewage return flow for 

city of Columbus. Water supply for the city of Columbus is obtained from Scioto River 

below Griggs Dam, Big Walnut Creek below Central College and from wells in the Alum 

Creek basin. For statement on diversion from Alum Creek basin into municipal supply 

system of the city of Columbus see Remarka for Alum Creek at Columbus. Diversion from 

Big Walnut Creek began June 1956 and records of diversion furnished by city of Columbus 

show monthly average of 33.7 cfs for the water year, see Remarks for Big Walnut Creek 

at Rees.

only), March 1925 to September 1936, October 1938 to September 1958. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1305. Published as "at Miamiville" 

1915-20.

Gage_.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 499.35 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. June 22, 1915, to May 14, 1920, chain gage at site 4 miles upstream at different datum. Mar. 11, 1925, to Aug. 16, 1928, chain gage at bridge 500 ft upstream 

at datum 0.72 ft higher.

Average discharge.--33 years (1915-17, 1925-36, 1938-58), 1,219 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 33,100 efs July 22 (gage height, 13.60 ft); min-

 imunTob served, 87 cfs Oct. 13, 14 (gage height, -0.06 ft).

1915-17, 1925-36, 1938-58: Maximum discharge, 69,900 cfs Mar. 6, 1945 (gage height, 

20.90 ft); minimum observed, 27 cfs Sept. 18, 1954; minimum gage height, -0.25 ft 

Sept. 10, 11, 1955.

Flood in March 1913 reached a stage of 25.5 ft, present datum, from information by 

Corps of Engineers.

Remarks.--Records good except those for period of ice effect or those below 220 cfs,

which are fair. Some regulation by Cowan Lake on Cowan Creek, tributary to Todd Fork. 

Water released from storage during November, February, and March and stored during 

April. Runoff figures in inches for these periods are probably within 10 percent of 

natural yield.

December 1936 to February 1937 (In WSP 838), April 1938 to September 1958. All figures 

of discharge above 2,000 cfs prior to April 1938 have been found to be unreliable and 

should not be used. Gage-height records collected at same site since 1915 are contained 

in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

929. July 22, 1915, to June 30, 1920, staff gage at site 400 ft downstream at datum 

0.21 ft lower. May 22, 1928, to Sept. 1, 1939, chain or wire-weight gage and Sept. 2, 

1939, to July 13, 1942, water-stage recorder, at site 100 ft downstream at present 

datum. Auxiliary staff gage 3.8 miles upstream since Oct. 1, 1944; July 2, 1938, to 

Sept. 30, 1944, staff gage 1 mile downstream used as auxiliary gage.

Average discharge. 20 years (1938-58), 1,068 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 13,200 cfs Apr. 29 (gage height, 23.65 ft); mlnl-

 mum,"12 cfs Oct. 15, 16, 19, 20.

1915-20, 1928-31, 1936-37, 1938-58: Maximum discharge determined, 22,200 cfs Feb. 3, 

1939 (gage height, 24.8 ft, from graph based on gage readings); maximum gage height, 

31.1 ft Feb. 9, 1918 (Ice jam), datum then In use; reverse flow at times caused by backwater; minimum discharge unaffected by backwater, 0.7 cfs Oct. 14, 1930; minimum gage 

height, 1.30 ft Sept. 19, 1943.

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

Location. Lat 40°03'28", long 84°21'22", in SE^ sec.18, T.7 N., R.5 E. , on left tank at 

downstream side of highway "bridge three-quarters of a mile northeast of Pleasant Hill, 

Miami County, and £ miles downstream from Painter Creek.

Drainage area.--50^ gq mi.

Records available . October 1916 to September 1928, October 1934 to September 1958.

Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1305. Gage-height records 

collected at same site since March 1922 are contained in reports of U. S. Weather 

Bureau.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 846.73 ft above mean sea level, adjustment 

of 1912. Prior to Dec. 23 1934, staff or chain gage at same site and datum.

Average discharge.--36 years (1916-28, 1934-58), 455 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 18,000 cfs June 10 (gage height, 16.95 ft)- 

minimum, 27 cfs Oct. 1, 4, 5 (gage height, 1.23 ft).

1916-28, 1934-58: Maximum discharge, 26,400 cfs Jan. 14, 1937 (gage height, 17.32 

ft), from rating curve extended above 14,000 cfs on basis of velocity-area study; minimum observed, 4 cfs-Oct. 17, 1920, July 12, 22. Aug. 30, 1921.

Maximum stage known, 17.5 ft Mar. 25, 1913 (discharge, 51,400 cfs, at site about 

3 miles upstream 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 powerplant on Greenville Creek.

Location.--Lat 38°12'06", long 84°52'54", on left bank at downstream side of Broadway 

Street Bridge at Frankfort, Franklin County, 300 ft upstream from Benson Creek, 

0.9 mile upstream from lock 4, and at mile 65.9. Records include flow of Benson Creek.

Drainage area.--5,412 sq mi (includes that of Benson Creek), of which about 120 sq mi does 

not contribute directly to surface runoff.

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

1958.Monthly discharge only, October 1930 to February 1931, October, November 1931, 

and May to September 1932, published in WSP 1305. Gage-height records collected in 

this vicinity September 1887 to December 1889, January to May 1893, and since April 

1901 are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 462.10 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. Prior to Dec. 27, 1939, staff gage at lock 4, 0.9 mile downstream, at same 

datum. Auxiliary staff gage, read twice daily, at lock 5, at Tyrone, 16.3 miles 

upstream.

Average discharge.--33 years, 7,015 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremea. Maximum discharge during year, 60,800 cfs May 11 (gage height, 26.24 ft); minimum daily discharge, 353 cfs Oct. 13.

1925-58: Maximum discharge, 115,000 cfs Jan. 25, 1937; maximum gage height, 47.46 

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

determined.

Revisions.--The maximum discharge for the water year 1932 has been revised to 

71,800 cfs Feb. 2, 1932; maximum gage height, 30.3 ft Feb. 2, 1932, from graph based on 

gage readings, superseding figures published in WSP 728 and 1305.

Remarks.--Records good except those for period of no gage-height record and those below 

1,000 cfs, which are fair. Auxiliary gage-height readings furnished by Corps of Engineers. Flow regulated by Herrington Lake (see p. 366) and by hydroelectric plant at 

lock 7. Records of chemical analyses, water temperatures, and suspended sediment loads 

for the water year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

Records available.--January 1328 to September 1958. Prior to October 1935 monthly discharge only, published in WSP 1305. Gage-height records collected in this vicinity 

since 1871 are contained in reports of U. 3. Weather Bureau.

Gage.--Normal pool (lower) staff gage read hourly. Datum of gage is 374.00 ft above

mean sea level, Ohio River datum. Prior to Oct. 1, 1939, and Oct. 1, 1943, to Sept. 30, 

1946, various combinations of gages near Louisville were used. Oct. 1, 1939, to 

Sept. 30, 1943, water-stage recorders at Louisville and Kosmosdale, 4 and 20.1 miles, 

respectively, below dam 41 were used to determine discharge. Since Oct. 1, 1952, 

upper staff gage at dam 43, 26.4 miles downstream has been used as an auxiliary gage.

Average discharge.--3U years, 114,6UO cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 557,000 cfs May 12; maximum gage height, 60.13 

ft May 12, from graph based on gage readings; minimum daily discharge, 9,630 cfs 

Oct. 13.

1928-58: Maximum discharge, 1,110,000 cfs Jan. 26, 27, 1937; maximum gage height, 

85.44 ft Jan. 27, 1937; minimum daily discharge, 2,100 cfs Aug. 12, 1930.

Remarks.--Records good above 15,000 cfs and fair below. Low and medium flow affected by 

operation of powerplant and navigation dams.

SALT RIVER BASIN 383

2960. Plum Creek subwatershed No. 4 near Simpsonville, Ky.

Location. Lat 38°10'27", long 65°22'05", on right bank on upstream side of Tucker Dam on 

tributary to Plum Creek, a quarter of a mile upstream from mouth and 3.5 miles south of 

Simpsonville, Shelby County.

Drainage area. 1.57 sq mi.

Records available. November 1954 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and V-notch sharp-crested weir in drop-inlet entrance to outlet conduit. Datum of gage is 687.99 ft above mean sea level (levels by Soil Conservation Service ).

Extremes. Maximum outflow and inflow during year not determined, probably occurred 

Nov. 18; no flow for many days.

1954-58: Maximum outflow, 117 cfs (revised) Apr. 4, 1957 (gage height, 20.80 ft), 

from rating curve extended above 106 cfs on basis of computed flow through outlet 

works; no flow many days each year. Maximum inflow, 620 cfs (average for 15-minute 

interval) Apr. 4, computed from outflow and change in reservoir contents, adjusted for 

rainfall on reservoir surface during time of peak inflow.

Revisions. Figures of maximum outflow for the water years 1956 and 1957 have been 

revised to 111 cfs Mar. 7, 1956 (gage height, 18.78 ft) and 117 cfs Apr. 4, 1957 (gage 

height, 20.80 ft), superseding those published in WSP 1505.

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

Records of daily discharge are outflow from reservoir, determined from stage-discharge 

relation for outlet structure. Reservoir is formed by earth dam; dam completed and 

storage began in October 1954. Outlet structure is a 14-foot concrete drop inlet 

connected to a 36-inch concrete outlet pipe. A 120° V-notch weir with notch at gage 

height 15.18 ft is set on upstream side of drop inlet. Top of drop inlet is at gage 

height 15.96 ft; emergency spillway at gage height 27.0 ft. Reservoir capacity at top 

of drop inlet, 90.0 acre-ft (revised). Capacity at emergency spillway level, 365 acreft (revised).

Revisions. Revised figures of discharge, in cubic feet per second, for high-water period 

in the water year 1957, superseding those published in WSP 1505, are given herewith;

2968. Plum Creek subwatershed No. 17 near Waterford, Ky.

Location. Lat 38°04'07", long 85°24'48", near center of upstream side of dam on reservoir 

No. 17, 0.3 mile upstream from confluence with unnamed tributary to Little Plum Creek 

and 2.6 miles northeast of Waterford, Spencer County.

Drainage area.--0.50 sq mi.

Records available.--June 1957 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and V-notch sharp-crested weir in drop-inlet entrance to outlet conduit. Datum of gage is 577.20 ft above mean sea level (levels by Soil Conservation Service).

Extremes. 1957: Maximum outflow during period June to September, 74 cfs June 28 (gage 

height, 18.67 ft); no flow for many days. Maximum inflow, 184 cfs "(average for 

15-minute interval) June 28, computed from outflow and change in reservoir contents, 

adjusted for rainfall on reservoir surface during time of peak inflow.

1957-58: Maximum outflow during water year, 81 cfs May 4 (gage height, 21.95 ft); 

no flow for many days. Maximum inflow, 705 cfs (average for 15-minute interval) May 4, 

computed from outflow and change in reservoir contents (no rainfall occurred on reservoir during time of peak inflow).

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

Records of daily discharge are outflow from reservoir, determined from stage-discharge 

relation for outlet structure. Reservoir Is formed by earth dam; dam completed and 

storage began in May 1957. Outlet structure is a 4-foot square concrete drop inlet 

connected to a 24-inch concrete outlet pipe. A 120° V-notch weir with notch at gage 

height 15.13ft is set in downstream side of drop inlet. Top of drop inlet is at gage 

height 15.84 ft; emergency spillway at gage height 30.8 ft. Reservoir capacity at top 

of drop inlet, 28.7 acre-ft. Capacity at emergency spillway level, 119 acre-ft.

The following table gives the relation between gage height and outflow, reservoir 

capacity, and water-surface area during the period June 1, 1957, to Sept. 30, 1958 

(shifting-control method used May 12 to July 11, Aug. 21-23, Aug. 29 to Sept. 20, 1958).

only, published in WSP 1305.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 420.94 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929. July 12, 1940, to June 27, 1941, staff gage at datum 1.79 ft lower and June 27, 

1941, to Oct. 21, 1948, water-stage recorder at datum 2.79 ft lower, at site 1,000 ft 

downstream.

Average discharge. 10 years (1948-58), 825 cfs.

Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 4,900 cfs Nov. 19; maximum gage height, S4.38 ft 

Nov. 19 (backwater from tributary inflow); minimum discharge, 13 cfs Oct. 16, 17 (gage 

height, 1.46 ft).

1939-58: Maximum discharge, 12,400 cfs Jan. 14, 1950 (gage height, 28.87 ft); minimum daily, 6 cfs Aug. 13, 1944.

Floods of Jan. 12, 1913, March 1935, and Jan. 25, 1937, reached stages of 28.96, 

29.31, and 34.06 ft, respectively, from floodmarks. Flood In 1915 reached a stage of 

28.93 ft, from floodmark.

Remarks. Records good. Low flow regulated by small gristmill 100 ft above gage. High 

flow regulated by Rough River Reservoir which was under construction during 1958 water 

year.

3409. Raccoon Creek at Ferndale, Ind.

Location. Lat 39°41'44", long 87°05'0l", In SW£ sec.33, T.15 N., R.6 W., on right bank 

 1.2 miles southwest of Ferndale, 1.7 miles northeast of Mansfield, 2.0 miles upstream 

from Rocky Pork Creek, and 2.4 miles downstream from flood control dam.

Drainage area. 215 sq mi.

Records available. October 1956 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 582.36 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

1929 (Corps of Engineers bench mark).

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 6,640 cfs Dec. 20 (gage height, 12.91 ft); minimum, 4.1 cfs Sept. 15 (gage height, 1.23 ft), result of unusual regulation.

1956-58: Maximum discharge, 40,500 cfs June 28, 1957 (gage height, 19.87 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 5,000 cfs on basis of a comparison study with the peak for 

Raccoon Creek at Mansfield; minimum, that of Sept. 15, 1958; minimum daily, 2.7 cfs 

Oct. 11, 1956.

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

Regulation at times from construction of the new "Mansfield" reservoir above station.

536 SALINE RIVER BASIN

3825. Saline River near Junction, 111.

Location. Lat 37°41'52", long 88°16'00", in Nfi£ sec.36, T.9 S., R.8 E., on right bank at 

old Island Ripple Bridge site, 2\ miles southwest of Junction, 4 miles downstream from 

North Pork, and 13J miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.--1.040 sq mi, approximately. 

Records available. October 1939 to September 1958.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 320.40 ft above mean sea level, datum of 

19S9. Prior to Dec. 13, 1939, wire-weight gage at upstream side of Island Ripple 

Bridge at same datum. Since Dec. 27, 1939, auxiliary water-stage recorder 3j miles 

downstream at Eagle Ripple Ford.

Average discharge. 19 years, 1,226 cfs (unadjusted).

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 11,300 cfs Dec. 22; maximum gage height, 30.61 

ft May 17 (backwater from Ohio River); minimum discharge during nonbackwater periods, 

6.9 cfs Oct. 9-11.

1939-58: Maximum discharge, 37,400 cfs Mar. 19, 1945; maximum gage height, 44.03 

ft Mar. 17, 1945 (backwater from Ohio River); maximum daily reverse flow, 6,260 cfs 

Apr. 21, 1948; minimum discharge during nonbackwater periods, 0.9 cfs Sept. 22, 23, 

1944; minimum gage height, 1.01 ft Sept. 25-28, 1941.

Maximum stage known, about 55.8 ft in February 1937 (backwater from Ohio River).

Remarks. Records fair except those for periods of no gage-height record or extremely flat 

slope, 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.

OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 541

3845. Ohio River at Golconda, 111.

Location. Lat 37°21'28", long 88"28'57", on right bank at lock and dam 51, at Golconda, 

Pope County, 0.5 mile upstream from McGilligan Creek, 0.7 mile downstream from Lusk 

Creek, and at mile 903.1.

Drainage area. 143,900 sq mi, approximately.

Records available. October 1937 to September 1958 (no low-flow records prior to October 

1940 and after September 1952). Gage-height records collected at same site since 1924 

are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Gage. Staff gage read hourly at high and low stages and six times daily at medium stages. 

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

read hourly at lock and dam 50, 26.3 miles upstream.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 660,000 cfs May 16, 17; maximum gage height, 

 4"3~7Tft May 16-18.

1937-58: Maximum discharge, 1,010,000 cfs Mar. 14-16, 1945; maximum gage height, 

53.2 ft Mar. 14, 15, 1945.

Maximum stage known, 62.6 ft Feb. 1-3, 1937; maximum discharge, 1,470,000 cfs 

Feb. 2, 3, 1937.

Remarks.--Records good except those for periods of indefinite stage-fall-discharge relation, which are fair. Discharge not computed when navigation dam 51 is partly or 

entirely in raised pDsition. Discharge less than 100,000 cfs on days for which no discharge is shown. Records of chemical analyses and water temperatures for the water 

year 1958 are given in WSP 1571.

Cooperation. Gage-height record furnished by Corps of Engineers.

CACHE RIVER BASIN 547

3875. Cache River at Forman, 111.

Location.--Lat 37°21 I 00", long 88"54'50", in NE£ sec.31, T.13 S., R.3 E., on left bank 

75 ft upstream from Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad bridge at Forman and 1 mile 

downstream from Dutchman Creek.

Drainage area.--242 sq mi.

Records available. October 1922 to July 1924, September 1924 to September 1958.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datura of gage is 333.77 ft above mean 

sea level, datura of 1929. Prior to Oct. 1, 1932, chain gage at site 75 ft downstream 

at same datum. Oct. 1, 1932, to July 24, 1939, chain or wire-weight gage at site 75 ft 

downstream at datum 1.00 ft lower.

Average discharge.--34 years (1924-58), 309 cfs.

Ext rerne s.--Maximum discharge during year, 5,110 cfs July 20 (gage height, 14.34 ft); minimum, 0.3 cfs Oct. 14, 15.

1922-58: Maximum discharge, 9,630 cfs Mar. 12, 1935 (gage height, 16.99 ft, present 

datum, from graph based on gage readings); no flow at times.

Remarks.--Records good except those for September, which are poor. Flow of lower part of 

Cache River basin was diverted from Ohio River to Mississippi River beginning Oct. 31, 

1950, through diversion channel of Mounds-Mound City flood-protection project. Flow of 

upper part of Cache River basin, including flow past this station, continues to discharge to Ohio River, passing through Post Creek cutoff directly to Ohio River instead 

of through the original channel of Cache River.

of recorded range in stage, weather records,
As the number of streams cm which streamflow information is likely to be desired far exceeds the number of stream-gpging stations feasible tu operate at one time, the Geological 

Survey collects limited streamflow 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 low-flow or floodflow analyses, depending on the type of data collected. In addition, discharge measurements are made at other cites 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 partial 

recorl 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.

550 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. Only 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 for the floods listed.

been published but are available in the files of the district office of the Geological Survey in Indianapolis, Ind. In general, the records are base;! on once-daily readings of a 

staff gage by a local observer and consist of daily, monthly, and yearly mean water-surface 

elevations as well as graphs showing the fluctuation in elevation. Discharge measurements 

made at the outflow are also available in some instances.

The lakes for which records have been collected are listed in the following table. The 

established level, sometimes referred to as the legal level, is that elevation set by the 

courts to which the average level of the lake is to be held; it is normally set at about 

the average level that has prevailed for a number of years prior to the establishment of 

the level.
