SUBFACE WATER SUPPLY OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BASIN, 1939

SCOPE OF WORK

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

and flow mads on streams, lakes, and reservoirs In the United States during the water year 

ending September 30, 1939. The work was begun In 1888 In connection with special studies 

relating to Irrigation. Measurements of flow of streams and measurements of stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 8,240 gaging stations In the United 

States and also at many gaging stations In Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1939, 4,160 gaging 

stations 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. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the first kind are made In connection with the description of each station 

affected; cooperation of the second kind Is acknowledged on page 9.

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 water flowing In a channel when the croes-sectlonal area Is 1 square foot 

and the 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 run-off Is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Run-off In Inches" Is the depth to whlcn an area would be covered If all the water 

flowing from It In a given period were uniformly distributed on Ite surface. It Is used 

for comparing run-off with rainfall, which Is usually expressed In Inches.

An "acre-foot," equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, Is the quantity of water required to 

cover an acre to the depth of 1 f'ot. 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 run-off of 0.0372 Inch from one square mile.

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

discharge."

"Control" Is a term used to designate the natural section or reach of the channel or 

artificial structure below the gage that determines the stage-discharge relation at the 

gage.

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 gage heights and discharge

2 EXPLANATION OF DATA

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

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

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

discharge. Gaging station structures are shown on plate 1.

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

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

The data presented for each gaging station In the area covered by this report usually 

comprise a description of the station, a table showing the dally discharge of the stream, 

and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off. Skeleton rating tables are published except for those stations whose dally discharge for the greater part of the year was 

determined by the shifting-control method, the slope method, or other special methods.

The description of the station gives the type of gage, Its latitude and longitude dedetennlned from the best available maps, and Information In regard to diversions that 

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

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

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

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

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

discharge If there Is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge tf useful); and the 

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

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

or a nonrecordlng gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the minimum represents thelowest discharge, unless otherwise qualified. The peak discharge for the year with the 

time of Its occurrence Is given below the table of monthly discharge for some stations. 

Selected lower peaks are also given If the peak discharge exceeded the mean discharge for 

that day by more than 10 percent. This supplementary Information Is generally not given 

for stations having drainage areas of less than 10 square miles or more than 10,000 square 

miles.

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

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

of twice-daily readings. For flashy floods the mean dally discharge Is determined from 

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

In the station description. 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 mean dally gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the 

mean dally gage height may not Indicate the true mean dally discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge for Intervals of the day or by using the discharge 

Integrator, an Instrument for obtaining the mean dally discharge from a continuous gagheight graph and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the station.

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

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

column headed "Maximum" gives the maximum dally discharge and not the discharge when the 

water surface was at crest height. Likewise, In the column headed "Minimum" the quantity

EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

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

cubic feet per second during the month.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily on (1) the permanency of the stagedischarge relation and (2) the accuracy of observation 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 dally records are accurate within 5 

percent; "good," within 10 percent; "fair," within 15 percent; and "poor," within 20 or a 

higher percent.

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

owing to diversions, amount consumed, regulation by storage, Increase or decrease In 

evaporation due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of 

"second-feet per square mile" anfl "run-Off In Inches" are not publlehed unless reservoir 

records are Included Indicating the extent of the regulation, or satisfactory adjustments 

can be made for changes In contents of reservoirs or for other changes Incident to use and 

control. Figures of second-feet per square mile and run-off 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 dlvereions from those streams, so that 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 gives a general Idea of the flow at the station. The 

table of daily discharge allows more detailed studies of the variation In flow. It should 

be borne In mind, however, that the observations In each succeeding year may be expected 

to throw new light on data previously published, and that greater degrees of refinement In 

computations and records may be warranted with the Increase In data and the use of Improved 

equipment.

Note.- The reports that contain records for years after 1901 are given in the table on 

page '6.

The table on the following page gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of 

the papers on surface water supply published from 1899 to 1939. 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, 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.

Drainage area.- 1,790 square miles.

Records available.- January 1914 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 25 years, 1,761 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum dally discharge during year, 10,600 second-feet Apr. 28; minimum 

 dally, 714 second-feet Oct. 2.

1914-39: Maximum dally discharge, 16,700 second-feet Apr. 23, 24, 1916; minimum 

dally, 154 second-feet Aug. 9, 1925.

Remarks.- Records good. Discharge determined from powerhouse records. Flow Is 

regulated by power plant at which station la located and also by plant on Brule 

River, about 5 miles upstream from station, where drainage area is 58 percent of 

that at station. Records of dally discharge computed by Wisconsin Michigan Power 

Company, on basis of load-discharge rating of hydroelectric units as developed by 

Geological Survey In 1932-33 and checked within 1 percent by two discharge measurements made In September 1939.

Drainage area.- 3,790 square miles.

Records available.- July 1913 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 26 years, 3,162 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum dally discharge during year, 16,900 second-feet May 30; minimum dally, 

1,010 second-feet Sept. 25.

1913-39: Maximum dally discharge, 23,200 second-feet Apr. 23, 25, 1916; minimum 

dally, 162 second-feet Sept. 15, 1931.

Remarks.- Records fair. Discharge determined from powerhouse records. Flow regulated 

above station by six dams, which are used for developing power. Records of dally 

discharge computed by Wisconsin Public Service Corporation on basis of average dally 

load, and load-discharge rating of combined hydroelectric units. Computed discharge 

was checked within 5 percent by one discharge measurement made October 1931 and within 

15 percent by two discharge measurements made In September 1939 by U. S. Geological 

Survey.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE MICHIGAN 45

Pine River at Pine River power plant, near Florence, Wis.

Location.- Lat. 45°49', long. 88°15', in sec. 28, T. 39 N., R. 18 E., at power plant of 

Wisconsin Michigan Power Co., 4 miles downstream from Popple River and 6s miles south 

of Florence.

Drainage area.- 543 square miles.

Records available.- October 1923 to September 1939. January 1914 to .September 1923 at 

site 4 miles upstream, where drainage area is 511 square miles.

Average discharge.- 16 years (1923-39), 427 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum daily discharge during year, 2,380 second-feet Apr. 26; minimum daily, 

163 second-feet Sept. 24.

1923-39: Maximum daily discharge, 4,380 second-feet Apr. 9, 1929; no flow at tines 

in 1924, 1926, 1927, 1930, 1931, 1933.

Remarks.- Records good for medium and low stages, fair for high stages. Discharge 

determined from powerhouse records. Flow regulated by power plant at station, but 

pondage is small and monthly discharge is very nearly natural flow. Records of daily 

discharge computed by Wisconsin Michigan Power Co. on basis of load-discharge rating 

of hydroelectric units as developed by Geological Survey in 1931-32 and checked within 9 percent by two discharge measurements made in September 1939.

limits of regulation are from 21i Inches above crest of Menasha Dam down to crest 

during navigation season, plus an additional 18 to 24 Inches below crest during winter. 

The Oshkosh staff gage gives true level of lake, whereas Deuchman gage readings are 

affected by loss of head In channel between lake and dam. Gage read once dally. Gage 

readings, pool areas, and capacity table furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

The total pool area of Lake Wlnnebago Includes Lake Wlnnebago, Lake Butte des 

Morts, Upper Fox River to Eureka Lock, Lake Wlnneconne, Lake Polygan, Partridge Lake, 

Clncoe Lake, Partridge Crop Lake, and Wolf River to mile 45.3. The total areas of the

Records available.- September 1938 to September 1939.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 6,730 second-feet Feb. EO (gage height, 8.60 

feet); maximum gage height, 10.78 feet (ice jam) Feb. 28; practically no flow Aug. 8, 

9, when permanent stop logs were installed in dam.

1938-39: Maximum discharge, that of Feb. 20, 1939; maximum gage height, that of 

Feb. 28, 1939; minimum discharge, that of Aug. 8, 9, 1939.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, Nov. S5-29, Dec. 13 to 

Jan. 4, Jan. 15 to Feb. 10, Feb. 14-18, Feb. 22 to Kar. 5, Mar. 17-23 (computed on 

basis of 10 discharge measurements, gage heights, records for Buffalo Creek at 

Gardenville, engineers' and observer's notes, and weather records), those for period 

of backwater from obstructions on control, July 8-19 (computed on basis of gage 

heights), and those for period of faulty gage heights due to ice in well, Mar. 8-11 

(computed from record for station on Buffalo Creek at Gardenville), all of which are

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO NIAGARA RIVER 115

Little Tonawanda Creek at Linden, N. Y.

Location.- Staff gage and concrete control, lat. 42°52'35", long. 78°09'45", at highway 

bridge In Linden, Genesee County.

Drainage area.- 22 square miles.

Records available.- July 1912 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 26 years (1912-19, 1920-39), 26.7 second-feet.

Extremes.- naximum discharge observed during year, 1,450 second-feet Feb. 20 (gage height, 

10.0 feet); minimum, 0.39 second-foot Sept. 24 (gage height, 0.22 foot).

1912-39: Maximum discharge, about 2,400 second-feet Apr. 22, 1916 (gage height, 14.6 

feet), from rating curve extended by logarithmic plotting above 1,500 second-feet; minimum, about 0.1 second-foot Sept. 5-7, 1934, and several times during period Aug. 4-28, 

1936.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect, Dec. 23, 27, 28, Jan. 5, 6, 

14-16, 25, 26 (computed on basis of five discharge measurements during winter, gage 

heights, observer's and engineers' notes, and weather records.), and those for period of 

log on control, Mar. 10, 11 (computed on basis of observer's notes and weather records), 

which are poor. Gage read twice dally. On days of rapidly changing stage the discharge 

Is averaged for Intervals of a day from gage-height graph based upon gage readings. 

Flow during summer possibly affected by pumpage upstream for drilling purposes, but 

most of it Is returned to creek above gage.

Rating table, water year 1933-39 except periods of ice effect and backwater from log on

Note.- Terminal water-surface elevation on Dec. 31, 1938, was 0.55 foot higher 

than on Dec. 31, 1937, corresponding to an Increase In storage of 15,734,655 cubic 

feet, or a discharge of 0.499 second-foot for the year. This correction applied 

to the figure for the calendar year gives a mean discharge for the year of 9.329 

second-feet, 0.780 second-foot per square mile, and run-off of 10.588 Inches from 

drainage area.

Terminal water-surface elevation on Sept. 30, 1939, was 0.64 foot lower than that 

on Sept. 30, 1937, corresponding to a decrease In storage of 16,426,505 cubic feet, 

or a discharge of 0.5S4 second-foot for the year. This correction applied to the 

figure for tha water year gives a mean discharge for the year of 10.637 second-feet, 

0.843 second-foot per square mile, and run-off of 11.511 Inches from drainage area.
122 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 

Oswego River at Lock 7, Oswego, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorders, lat. 43°27'00", long. 76°30'25", at Lock 7, in Oswego, 

uswego County, three-quarters of a mile upstream from mouth. Zero of gage Is 246.00 

feet above mean sea level (New York Barge Canal datum).

Drainage area.- 5,121 square miles.

Records avalla'ble.- November 1933 to September 1939. April 1897 to December 1901 and, of 

doubtful accuracy, October 1927 to September 1928 at High Dam, about three-quarters of 

a mile upstream.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 23,200 second-feet Mar. 8 (gage height, 9.87 feet, 

includes mean daily discharge of canals); minimum (river only), 93 second-feet 

'regulated) Oct. 27 (gage height, 1.22 feet); minimum daily discharge, 699 second-feet 

Sept. 9.

1933-39: Maximum discharge, 37,500 second-feet Mar. 28, 1936 (gage height, 13.10 

feet-, Includes mean daily discharge of canals); minimum (river only), 42 second-feet 

(regulated) Oct. 23, 1935 (gage height, 1.01 feet); minimum daily discharge, 465 secondfeet Aug. 12, 1934.

Remarks.- Records good except those for days of missing river gage heights, Feb. 22, 23, 

which were computed on basis of discharge records of Oswego River Watershed Corporation 

at Fulton and record of headwater elevations at dam Just upstream from gaging station 

and are fair. This record represents total discharge at Oswego and Includes flow In 

Hydraulic and Barge Canals. Discharge of Hydraulic Canal during periods of faulty gageheight record, Oct. 1-4, 21-23, Dec. 8, 10, 13-29, Jan. 13-16, Apr. 9-11, 28, 29, 

estimated. A large amount of natural storage and some artificial regulation is afforded 

by the many large lakes and the Barge Canal system in the river basin. Large diurnal 

fluctuations at low and medium stages caused by operation of power plants upstream. The 

Oswego River Basin receives water from the Erie division of the Barge Canal through 

Lock 32, near Pittsford. A small diversion from the watershed Is occasionally made 

from tributary streams through the summit level of the Barge Canal at New London into 

the Mohawk River Basin. During part of the year the entire flow from 45 square miles 

of drainage area of Mud Creek may be diverted from Chemung River Basin Into Lake Keuka, 

In the Oswego River Basin. During the year nearly all the flow from 15.7 square miles 

of Tioughnioga River Basin was diverted into Deruyter Reservoir, in the Oswego River 

Basin.

 Revised figure, superseding that published previously. fEstlmated. 

Note.- The figure of crest discharge for the hurricane flood of Sept. 22, 1938, has been 

revised to 2,550 sec.-ft., and supersedes that published In Water-Supply Paper 867.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect, Nov. 26-28, Dec. 4, Jan. 2-6, 

Jan. 13 to Feb. 15, Mar. 12-14, 21 (computed on basis of seven discharge measurements 

made during winter period, gage heights, and weather records), and those for periods of 

missing or Incomplete gage heights, Oct. 2, 3, 12-14, 19-21, Apr. 25 to May 2, Sept. 30 

(computed on basis of recorded range In stage and records of Owego Creek near Owego and 

Cayuga Inlet near Ithaca), which are fair. During the year Cornell University diverted 

236,332,000 gallons about a mile above gage for water supply and thus reduced the mean 

discharge at the station 1.00 second-foot for the year.

Revisions.- Revised figures of discharge for water years 1934-35 to 1937-38, superseding 

those published In Water-Supply Papers 784, 799, 804, 824, and 854, are given herein.

Rating tables, water year 1936-39 except periods of Ice effect (gage height, In feet, and discharge,

In aeoond-feet)

132 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Mill Creek sluiceway at Boonville, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°29 l 10n , long. 750 19'40n , about 500 feet upstream 

from schuyler Street, Boonville, Onelda County, and a quarter of a mile upstream from 

confluence with Mill Creek.

Records available.- October 1933 to September 1939.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 18 second-feet (regulated)sometime between July 

2 and 8 (gage height, 0.59 foot, result of flushing operation); minimum 0.16 secondfoot (regulated) May 28 (gage height, 0.035 foot) during period of no diversion.

1933-39: Maximum discharge, 146 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 3. 1934; maximum gage 

height, 2.86 feet sometime during period Dec. 11-16, 1933 (ice Jam); no flow during 

periods of no diversion.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 1 second-foot, which are fair, those for periods 

 of Ice effect, Dec. 1-5, 14-17, 20, 22, Jan. 11, 12, Jan. 22 to Mar. 26 (computed on

basis of four discharge measurements during winter period, gage heights except Jan. 23- 

. 27, Feb. 17, 22-25, Feb. 28 to Mar. 4, Mar. 8-11, 15-24, weather records, observer's 

and engineers' notes), and those for periods of faulty or missing gage heights, which 

are poor. The sum of this record and that of Black River Canal (flowing soutn) represente 

the total diversion from Black River at Forestport through Forestport feeder and 

Includes also the run-off from about 14 square miles tributary to the canal system and 

Mill Creek. This record shows the amount of water returned to Black River.

Records available.- 'September 1915 to September 1939 (during canal seasons).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of missing gage heights, which are fair. 

Record shows combined flow at gages 1 and 2 and represents total diversion from Black 

River at Forestport, through Forestport feeder, into Mohawk River Basin. During 

period Nov. 23 to May 15, when no water was diverted, the canal carried a small flow 

made up of leakage through head gates and run-off from the area draining into canal 

above station.

134 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Moose River at McKeever, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°36'40", long. 75°06'35", half a mile west of 

McKeever, Herklmer County, and 2 miles downstream from South Branch of Mbose River.

Drainage area.- 365 square miles.

Records available.- May 1922 to September 1939. June 1900 to December 1922 at site at 

Moose River, 2* miles downstream.

Average discharge.- 31 years (1907-13, 1914-39), 841 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 5,980 second-feet Apr. 28 (gage height, 9.32 

feet;; minimum, 115 second-feet Sept. 4 (gage height, 1.62 feet).

1900-39: Maximum discharge recorded, about 16,500 second-feet Mar. 27, 1913 (gage 

height, 16.2 feet, former site and datum, from floodmarks); minimum discharge, about 42 

second-feet July 21, 23, 25-27, 1913.

Revision.- The figure of maximum discharge for the water year 1927-28 has been revlsed to 11,100 second-feet Apr. 8 (gage height, 13.14 feet). This figure supersedes 

that published In Water-Supply Paper 664.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of Ice effect, Nov. 26 to Dec. 4, 

Dec. 21 to Mar. 26 (computed on basis of four discharge measurements during winter 

period, gage heights except Dec. 24-27, Dec. 20 to Jan. 3, Jan. 5-10, weather records, 

records of operation of Old Forge Reservoir, and comparison with records of nearby 

streams), and those for period of missing gage heights, Dec. 16-18 (computed on basis 

of recorded range In stage, weather records, records of operation of Old Forge Reservoir, 

and comparison with records of nearby streams), which are fair. Flow regulated to some 

extent by storage In Fulton Chain of Lakes. Occasional slight diurnal fluctuation during low and medium stages caused by operation of paper mill In McKeever.

Revisions.- Revised figures of discharge for the water year 1927-28, superseding those 

published In Water-Supply Paper 664, are given herein.

cubic feet (equivalent mean discharge, 0.389 see.-ft.j run-off 0.04 Inch), decrease In elevation, 

0.04 ft.} decrease during water year 1938-39 about 1,698,909,700 cubic feet (equivalent mean discharge, 53.9 sec.-ft.; run-off 6.08 Inches), decrease In elevation, 5.54 ft.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER

East Branch of Oswegatchle River near Oswegatchle, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44013'25", long. 75004'35", at Flat Rock hydroelectric plant of Northern New York Utilities, Inc., 2f miles north of Oswegatchle, 

St. Lawrence County.

Drainage area.- 263 square miles.

Records available.- October 1924 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 14 years (1925-39), 534 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,600 second-feet (regulated) Feb. 22 (gage 

height, 4.95 feet); minimum, about 6 second-feet (regulated) July 5, 6, 9 (gage height, 

0.92 foot); minimum dally, 92 second-feet May 7.

1924-39: Maximum discharge, 4,010 second-feet Apr. 6, 1928 (gage height, 7.1 feet), 

from rating curve extended by logarithmic plotting above 1,900 second-feet; minimum, 

probably less than 1 second-foot during complete shut-down of power plant and ponding 

of entire flow of river; minimum dally, 1 second-foot (regulated) July 25, 1926.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of missing gage heights, Nov. 15, 16, 

June 19 to July 4, which were computed on basis of record of record of output for Flat 

Rock power plant and are good. Large diurnal fluctuation at low and medium stages 

caused by operation of power plant; seasonal flow partly regulated by storage In Cranberry Lake (see records for East Branch of Oswegatchle River at Cranberry Lake, N. Y.)

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER 145

Oswegatchie River near Heuvelton, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°36'00", long. 75°22'45", 2& miles upstream from 

Heuvelton, St. Lawrence County.

Drainage area.- 973 square miles.

Records available.- June 1916 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 23 years, 1,710 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 7,630 second-feet Apr. 3 (gage height, 6.01 

feet): minimum, 320 second-feet Sept. 1, 2, 25 (gage height, 0.99 foot).

1916-39: Maximum discharge, 15,600 second-feet Jan. 11, 1930 (gage height, 9.1 

feet); minimum, 200 second-feet Aug. 18, 1934 (gage height, 0.65 foot).

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, Dec. 2, 3, 16, 17, 22, 

23. Dec. 26 to Jan. 6, Jan. 22, 26, 27, Feb. 15-18, Feb. 27 to Mar. 22 (computed on 

basis of five discharge measurements during winter period, observer's notes, gage 

heights, and weather records), and those for periods of missing gage heights, July 

15-22, July 29 to Aug. 5, Aug. 7-11, 13-17, 26-29 (computed on basis of sum of discharge 

of East Branch near Oswegatchie and that of West Branch near Harrisville and observer's 

readings), which are fair. Seasonal flow slightly regulated by storage in Cranberry 

Lake; slight diurnal fluctuation at low and medium stages caused by power operations. 

During high stages on Grass River, part of flow of that stream may pass from Grass 

River through Upper Lake, Indian Creek, and Lower Lake and enter Oswegatchle River at 

Rensselaer Falls, 44 miles upstream.

feet); minimum, 35 second-feet Sept. 25 (gage height, 0.98 foot).

1916-39: Maximum discharge, 6,920 second-feet Jan. 9, 1930 (gage height, 9.6 feet), 

from rating curve extended above 2,400 second-feet; minimum, 25 second-feet Sept. 1, 

1934 (gage height, 0.86 foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, Nov. 25-28, Dec. 1, 2, Dec. 

24 to Jan. 5, Jan. 20-30, Feb. 4-18, Mar. 20, 27 (computed on basis of five discharge 

measurements during winter, gage heights except during Jan. 26-28. and weather records), 

and those for period of backwater from unknown cause, Nov. 14-17 (computed on basis of 

one discharge measurement, gage heights, and weather records), which are fair. Slight 

diurnal fluctuations, principally during low flows, caused by pondage for operation of 

pulp mill at Harrisville.

Records available.- June 1916 to December 1917, July 1919 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 20 years (1919-39), 221 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 2,390 second-feet Dec. 6 (gage height, 6.62 

feet;; minimum, 28 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 4 (gage height, 2.25 feet); minimum 

dally, 39 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 4.

1916-17, 1919-39: Maximum discharge, 10,800 second-feet Sept. 22, 1938 (gage 

height, 12.20 feet), from rating curve extended by logarithmic plotting above 3,200 

second-feet; practically no flow Sept. 13, 1920, caused by closing gates In logging 

dam (gage height, 1.60 feet): minimum daily, 7.2 second-feet (regulated) July 29, 

1920.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, Nov. 27, 28, Dec. 14, 

 IB, 24, 25, Dec. 30 to Jan. 5, Jan. 22 to Apr. 19 (computed on basis of six discharge 

measurements during winter period, gage heights, observer's notes, weather records, 

and records for stations at and near Ausable Forks), and those for period of missing 

gage heights, July 27-29 (computed on basis of records for station on East Branch of 

Ausable River at Ausable Forks), which are fair. Diurnal fluctuation at low and medium 

stages caused by operation of power plants.

162 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER

Poultney River below Fair Haven, Vt.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°37'40", long. 73°18'50", a third of a mile downstream from Carver Falls, 1.9 miles upstream from mouth of Hubbardton River, and 3i 

miles northwest of Fair Haven, Rutland County.

Drainage area.- 187 square miles.

Records available.- October 1928 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 11 years, 248 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 5,760 second-feet Apr. 20 (gage height, 15.82 

feet), from rating curve extended above 1,190 second-feet on basis of computation of 

flow over dam at gage heights 16.10 feet and 21.40 feet; minimum, 6.2 second-feet 

(regulated) Sept. 22-24.

1928-39: Maximum discharge, 10,300 second-feet Sept. 22, 1938 by computation of 

flow over dam; maximum gage height. 22.90 feet Mar. 12, 1936 (ice jam); minimum discharge, 2.3 second-feet (regulated) July 18, 1937.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, Dec. 28-31, Jan. 2-7, 

Jan. 9 to Mar. 19 (computed on basis of four discharge measurements, gage heights, 

power-plant records, weather records, and records for Otter Creek at Center Rutland), 

and those for periods of missing gage heights, Oct. 2, 3, 30 (computed on basis of 

records for nearby stations), which are fair. Lake Bomoseen may produce seasonal 

storage. Considerable diurnal regulation at low stages.

Apr. 1, computed on basis of two discharge measurements, gage heights, power-plant 

records, and weather records; those for period of missing gage heights, Nov. 4-21, 

computed on basis of power-plant records. Considerable diurnal fluctuation caused by 

operation of several small power plants above station. Flow affected, since 1926, by 

storage In Peacham Pond and Mollys Falls Reservoir on Mollys Brook (combined usable 

capacity, 530,000,000 cubic feet), which regulate run-off from 24 square miles; and, 

since 1935, by detention in East Barre and Wrlghtsvllle Detention Reservoirs (combined

Average aiscnargeT- 11 years, 1,651 second-feet, adjusted for change In reservoir contents since October 1938.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 18,200 second-feet Apr. 20 (gage height, 11.07 

feet}; minimum dally discharge, 84 second-feet Sept. 4.

1928-39: Maximum discharge, 45,300 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 23.54 

feet), from rating curve extended above 25,000 second-feet on basis of slope-area determination and computation of flow over dam at gage heights 18.72 feet, 23.54 feet, 

and 50.4 feet; minimum dally discharge, 70 second-feet Sept. 25, 1937.

Maximum discharge known, 113,000 second-feet Nov. 4, 1927 (gage height., 50.4 feet, 

from floodmarks), by slope-area determination and computation of flow over dam.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those above 12,000 second-feet, which are good, and 

tnose for periods of ice effect, Dec. 2-6, Dec. 27 to Apr. 1 (computed on basis of a 

discharge measurement, power-plant records, gage heights, weather records, and records for station at Montpeller), those for periods of missing gage heights, Nov. 26 

to Dec. 1, Sept. 12-14 (computed on basis of weather records and power-plant records), 

which are fair. Considerable diurnal regulation at low stages. Since 1926, flow 

affected by storage In reservoirs on Mollys Brook and, -since 1937, in Waterbury Reservoir (combined usable capacity, 3,342,300,000 cubic feet), which regulate run-off from 

24 square miles and 109 square miles, respectively; and, since 1935, by detention in 

East Barre and Wrlghtsvllle Detention Reservoirs (combined usable capacity,

Drainage area.- 33.0 square miles.

Records available.'- August 1920 to September 1923, November 1933 to September 1939. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 417 second-feet Apr. 28; maximum gage height,

4.35 feet Feb. 17 (Ice Jam); minimum discharge, 2.3 second-feet Sept. 18-20.

1920-23, 1933-39: Maximum discharge observed, 1,350 second-feet Apr. 10, 1922

(gage height, 8.38 feet, former site and datum), from rating curve extended above 500

second-feet; minimum observed, 0.5 second-foot Sept. 11, 1921. 

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect and of missing gage heights,

which are fair. Probable backwater from Ice during periods of missing gage heights.

Run-off affected since November 1935 by storage In East-Barre Detention Reservoir

(usable capacity, 506,000,000 cubic feet). Diversions from reservoir on Orange Brook,

a tributary upstream for municipal use of city of Barre.

held back by mill dam. 

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect and of missing gage

heights, which are fair. Probable backwater from Ice during periods of missing gage 

heights In winter. Run-off affected since November 1935 by storage In Wrlghtsvllle 

Detention Reservoir (usable capacity, 873,500,000 cubic feet). Diurnal regulation at 

low stages caused by operation of small mill.

176 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER

Lamollle River at East Georgia, Vt.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44040 I 45", long. 73°04 I 20", 0.5 mile upstream from 

railroad bridge at East Georgia, Franklin County.

Drainage area.- 711 square miles.

records availa'ble.- October 1937 to September 1939. August 1929 to November 1937, near 

nircon, 3t miles downstream; records equivalent.

Average discharge.- 10 years (1929-39), 1,232 second-feet, adjusted to present drainage 

area.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge recorded during water year 1937-3S, 20,200 second-feet Sept. 

22 (gage height, 11.76 feet), from rating curve extended above 8,380 second-feet on 

basis of computations of flow over dams at gage height 11.76 feet (discharge on Mar. 

24 or 25 possibly higher); minimum daily discharge, 174 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 3.

Maximum discharge during water year 1938-39, 14,800 second-feet Apr. 23 (gage 

height, 10.50 feet), from rating curve extended above 8,380 second-feet on basis of 

computations of flow over dams at gage height 11.76 feet; minimum, 128 second-feet 

(regulated) Sept. 24; minimum dally discharge, 229 second-feet Sept. 24.

1929-39: Maximum discharge, 23,200 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 12.52 

feet, former site and datum), by computation of flow over dam; minimum, 49 second-feet 

(regulated) July 30, 1933; minimum dally discharge, 91 second-feet (regulated) July 

30, 1933.

Remarks.- Records good except those for period Oct. 1 to Nov. 30, 1937 (computed from 

records for station near Milton on basis of ratios of drainage areas), those for periods of Ice effect, Nov. 27 to Dec. 6, 15-31, 1938, Jan. 1 to Apr. 2, 1939, and period 

of missing gage heights, Apr. 3-10, 1939 (computed on basis of available gage heights, 

two discharge measurements, weather records, and records for station at Johnson and 

for Mlssisquol River near Richford), all of which are fair, and those for period Dec. 

1, 1937, to May 8, 1938 (estimated on basis of records for station at Johnson and for 

stations on Mlssisquol River near North Troy and near Richford), which are poor. Discharge for period May 9 to June 25, 1938, determined from gage height graph based on 

twice-daily staff-gage readings. Dlrunal regulation at low stages by operation of 

power plants above station.

Clyde River at Newport, Vt.

181

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°56'20", long. 72°11'25", in Newport, Orleans 

County, Just downstream from unnamed tributary entering from north, 0.65 mile downstream from original site and 1 mile upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.- 142 square miles.

Kecprds available.- September 1938 to September 1939. May 1909 to September 1924 and 

November 1928 to May 1936 at site 0.65 mile upstream; records equivalent.

Average discharge.- 17 years (1909-19, 1929-35, 1939), 245 second-feet.

tixtremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 2,110 second-feet Apr. 23 (gage height, 7.31 

Jeet); minimum daily, 67 second-feet July 16.

1909-24, 1928-36, 1938-39: Maximum discharge, 3,900 second-feet Mar. 20, 1936 (gage 

height, 5.76 feet, former site and datum), by computation of flow over dam; minimum 

dally, 3.0 second-feet Oct. 27, 1930. Practically no flow at various times because of 

regulation.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those above 300 second-feet, which are good, those for 

days of ice effect, Jan. 26, 27, Feb. 17 (computed on basis of gage heights, weather 

records, and records for nearby stations), and those for July 23 to Aug. 9 (computed 

on basis of one-float gage reading daily and records for nearby stations), all of which 

are fair. Some diurnal regulation from power plant upstream from station.

YEARLY-DISCHARGE SUMMARY 

Part 4. St. Lawrence River Basin

The following tables summarize in convenient form for general reference and Tor use in 

preliminary investigations the figures of yearly discharge and run-off for certain gaging 

stations in the St. Lawrence River Basin, previously published in the annual series of 

water-supply papers. All gaging stations, both active and discontinued, at which 10 or 

more complete years of record have been collected and published are represented, also 

some special stations, as noted below. The summaries present figures of maximum and 

minimum daily discharge and yearly mean discharge and run-off, for both the water years 

ending September 30 and the calendar years. The figures for the water years prior to 

1914 and figures for the calendar years 1914 to 1933 have not been previously published 

in the annual water-supply papers but are included in these summaries.

The number of the water-supply paper in which the figures of daily and monthly discharge as well as yearly discharge are published is shown in the .column head W.S.P. 

(no. and page). The descriptions contained in the water-supply papers indicated give 

detailed information relative to the gaging stations, including location, diversions, 

regulation by storage, effect of irrigation, and other pertinent information. Records 

for stations which were operated prior to 1901 are generally contained in the annual reports of the Geological Survey. Reference is made to these reports if records have not 

been published in water-supply papers.

Figures of drainage area are given for each station when known. These figures have 

been revised from time tc time as more accurate maps have become available. The discharge per square mile ard run-off in inches in the following tables, in general, have 

been revised according tc the latest figure for the drainage area.

Summaries for incomplete years are given for those stations in irrigated regions for 

which seasonal records were collected in order to show the flow available for irrigation. 

They have been compiled Irom the records of daily and monthly discharge contained in the 

water-supply paper indicated. For summaries after 1914 if the period extends beyond Sept. 

30, records of daily and monthly discharge after that day are contained in the watersupply paper indicated fcr the following year. An incomplete year is included for other 

stations if the maximum caily discharge or minimum daily discharge for all the years of 

record occurred in that year.

Former names under which records for some of the stations have been published in the 

annual water-supply papers are Indicated in these yearly summaries as follows:

1. If the name of the stream or town or other feature to which the station is referred has been changed, the former name is given in parentheses, indicating that records for some of the earlier years are published under the obsolete name.

2. If the entire name of a station has been changed, the superseded name and years 

when it was used are givon in parentheses beneath the present name.
