AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting records of 

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1922.

The data presented in these reports were collected by the United 

States Geological Survey under the following authority contained 

in the organic law (20 Stat. L.', p. 394):

Provided, That this officer [the Director] shall have the direction of the Geological Survey and the classification of public lands and examination of the 

geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain.

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation in the arid West. Since the fiscal year ending 

June 30, 1895, successive sundry civil bills passed by Congress have 

carried the following item and appropriations:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United States, 

and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, and for the 

preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water resources,

In the execution of the work many private and State 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.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 5,480 points 

in the United States and also at many points in Alaska and .the. 

Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1922, 1,540 gaging stations were being
2 SUKFACE WATEB SUPPLY, 1922, PART IV

maintained by the Survey and the cooperating organizations. Many 

miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at other points. In 

connection with this work data were also collected in regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, river profiles, and water 

power in many sections of the country and will be made available in 

water-supply papers from time to time.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "run-off" or "discharge" is expressed in various terms, each of which has become 

associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided 

into two groups (1) those that represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miners' inches, and discharge in secondfeet per square mile, and (2) those that represent the actual quantity 

of water, as run-off in inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic feet. 

The principal terms used in this series of reports are second-feet, 

second-feet per square mile, run-off in inches, and acre-feet. They 

may be 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 

of rectangular cross section 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep at an average 

velocity of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental 

unit from which others are computed.

"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 which an area would be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were uniformly 

distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with 

rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth in inches.

An "acre-foot," equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, is-the: quantity 

required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term is commonly used in connection with storage for irrigation. .

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

"Stage-discharge relation," an abbreviation for the term "relation 

of gage height to discharge."

"Control," a term used to designate the section or sections of the 

stream channel below the gage which determine the stage-discharge 

relation at the gage. It should be noted that the control may not 

be the same section or sections at all stages.

The "point of zero flow" for a gaging station is that point on the 

gage the gage height at which water ceases to flow over the 

control.

SURflCE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PART IT

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 

1,1021, arid ending September 30,1922. At the beginning of January 

in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in the 

preceding three months is stored as ground water, in the form of 

snow or ice, or in ponds, lakes, and swamps, and this stored water 

passes off in the streams during the spring break-up. At the end of 

Sejpt&m'ber, on the other hand, the only stored water available for 

run-off is possibly a small quantity in the ground; therefore the runoff for the year beginning October 1 is practically all derived from 

precipitation within that year.

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

direct readings on a staff or chain gage or from water-stage recorder 

that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of 

discharge are made with a current meter. (See Pis. I, II.) The 

general methods are outlined in standard textbooks on the measuremerit of river discharge.

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

give the discharge for any stage. The application of the daily gage 

heights to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from which 

the monthly and yearly mean discharge is computed.

The data presented for each gaging station in the area covered by 

this report comprise a description of the station, a table giving 

records of discharge measurements, a table showing the daily discharge of the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge 

and run-off.

If the base data are insufficient to determine the daily discharge, 

tables giving daily gage height and records of discharge measureirients are published.

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements 

regarding location and equipment, information in regard to any 

conditions that may affect the permanence of the stage-discharge 

relation, covering such subjects as the occurrence of ice, the use of the 

stream for log driving, shifting of control, and the cause and effect 

of backwater; it gives also information as to diversions that decrease 

the flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and minimum 

recorded stages, and the accuracy of the records.

The table of daily discharge, gives, in general, the discharge in 

second-feet corresponding to the mean of the gage heights read each 

day. At stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal 

fluctuations the discharge obtained from the ratirig table and the
4 SURFACE WATEB SUPPLY, 1922, PART IV

mean daily gage height may not be the true mean discharge for the 

day. If such stations are equipped with, water-stage recorders the 

mean daily discharge may be obtained by averaging discharge at 

regular intervals during the day or by using the. discharge integrator, 

an instrument operating on the principle of the planimeter and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the station,

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed " Maximum" 

gives the mean flow for the day when the mean gage height (was 

-highest.. As the gage height is the mean for the day it does not indicate correctly the stage when the water surface was at crest height 

and the corresponding discharge was consequently larger than given 

in the maximum column. Likewise, in the column headed "Minimum" the quantity given is the mean flow for the day when the mean 

gage height was lowest. The column headed "Mean" is the average 

flow in cubic feet per second during the month. On this average flow 

computations recorded in the remaining columns, which are defined 

on page 2, are based.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the 

permanency of the stage-discharge relation and (2) on the .accuracy 

of observation of stage, measurements of flow, and interpretation of 

records.

A paragraph in the description of the station gives information 

regarding the (1) permanence of the stage-discharge relation, (2) 

precision with which the discharge rating curve is defined, (3) refiner 

ment of gage readings, (4) frequency of gage readings, and (5) 

methods of applying daily gage height to the rating table to obtain 

the daily discharge.

For the rating tables "well defined" indicates, in general, that the 

rating is probably accurate within 5 per cent; "fairly well defined," 

within 10 per cent; "poorly defined," within 15 to 25 per cent. These 

notes are very general and are based on the plotting of the individual 

measurements with reference to the mean rating curve.

The monthly means for any station may represent with jjiigh 

accuracy the, quantity of water flowing past the gage, but the figures; 

showing discharge per square mile and run-off in inches may be 

subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information 

concerning water diverted for irrigation or other use, or by inability 

to interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of tHe rjver 

above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and "run-off in 

inches" are therefore not computed if such errors appear probable. 

The computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining 

areas in which the annual rainfall is less than 20 inches. All figures
PUBUCATIOFS 5

representing "second-feet per square mile" and "run-off in inches" 

published in the earlier reports by the Survey should be used with 

caution because of possible inherent sources of error not known to 

the Surrey.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of .the United 

States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, 

and the discharge recorded does not show the water supply available 

for further development, as prior appropriations below the stations 

must first be satisfied. To give an idea of the amount of prior appropriations, a paragraph on diversions is presented in each station 

description. The figures given can not be considered exact but 

represent the best information available.

The tables of monthly discharge give only a general idea of the 

flow at the station and should not be used for other than preliminary 

estimates; the tables of daily discharge allow 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.

PUBLICATIONS

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large part of measurements of the volume of 

flow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting that flow, but 

it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as 

irrigation, water storage, water powers, ground waters, and quality of 

waters. Most of the results of these investigations have been published in the series of water-supply papers, but some have appeared in 

the monographs, bulletins, professional papers, and annual reports.

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published annually in 12 parts, each part covering an area whose boundaries 

coincide with natural drainage features as indicated below:

Part I. North Atlantic slope basins.

II. South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins.

III. Ohio River basin.

IV. St. Lawrence River basin.

V. Upper Mississippi River and Hudson Bay basins.

GAGING-STATION RECORDS

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE SUPERIOR

BAD RIVER NEAR ODANAH, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 25, T. 47 N., R. 3 W., 8 miles upstream from Odanah, Ashland County, 12 miles above mouth. Potato Rive'r enters from right

8 miles above station. 

DBAINAGE ABE A. 607 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6

miles). 

RECQBDS AVAILABLE. July 31, 1914, to November 11, 1922, when station was

discontinued. 

GAGE. Stevens continuous water-stage recorder, installed March 31, 1915,

over a wooden well, just above the first falls in the .river above the mouth;

a Gurley water-stage recorder at the .same site was used July 31, 1914, to

March 31, 1915.

DISCHABGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable or by wading. 

CHANNEL AND CONTBOL. Bed composed of sand and gravel. Rock outcrop at

the beginning of rapids about 200 feet below gage forms a permanent control.

Right bank high, not subject to overflow; left bank of medium height and

may be overflowed during extremely high water. 

EXTBEMBS OF DISCHARGE. Both maximum and minimum stages for the year

probably occurred when no gage heights were available. A minimum mean

daily discharge was estimated at 95 second-feet January 25-31.

1914-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 6.66 feet at 1 a. m. April 22, 1916

(discharge, 12,200 second-feet); minimum stage, 0.82 foot during afternoon

of August 27, 1918 (discharge, 88 second-feet). 

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seriously affected by ice. 

REGULATION. None. 

ACCUBACT. Stage-discharge relation permanent, except when affected by ice.

Rating curve well defined through range of stage occurring during year.

Operation of water-stage recorder satisfactory about 58 per cent of the year.

Daily discharge ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily gage

height as taken from the. recording gage chart by inspection. Open-water

records, when water-stage recorder was working satisfactorily, good; for

the remainder of the year roughly approximate.

MONTREAL RIVER AT IEONWOOD, MICE.

LOCATION. At main highway bridge on State line between Hurley, Wis., and 

Iron wood, Mich., 8 miles upstream from junction with West Branch.

DRAINAGE AREA. About 73 square miles (measured on Hixon's County Atlas; 

scale, 1 inch=2 miles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. April 24, 1918, to June 6, 1922, when station was discontinued.

GAGE. Chain gage fastened to downstream side of main highway bridge; read 

by W. A. Markert.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from wooden bridge at lumber mill, onefourth mile above gage, or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed at and downstream from gage heavy gravel. 

Concrete retaining walls on both sides of river below gage prevent overflow 

at flood stages.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during period October 1, 

1921, to June 6, 1922, 3.65 feet 1.30 p. m., April 10 and 11 (discharge, 835 

second-feet); minimum stage, 0.91 foot at noon December 6 (discharge, 5.8 

second-feet).

1918-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 3.8 feet June 30, 1920, and April 

5-7, 1921 (discharge, 910 second-feet); minimum stage, 0.67 foot October 4, 

1920 (discharge, 2.3 second-feet).

REGULATION. Water stored in Pine Lake in sees. 28, 29, 32, and 33, T. 44 N., 

R, 3 E., is used to increase the water supply for Ironwood and Hurley during 

periods of low flow; effect of this regulation on the flow at the station probbably slight. Considerable diurnal fluctuation seems to be caused at the 

station owing to operation of gates in a small dam located one-fourth mile 

upstream from gage. Dam is used to float logs to sawmill.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation fairly permanent. Rating curve well 

defined from 4 to 610 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths once daily. 

Daily discharge ascertained by applying gage height to rating table. Records 

fair.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE MICHIGAN

MENOMINEE BIVEE AT TWIN FAILS, NEAR IRON MOUNTAIN, MICE.

LOCATION. In sec 12, T. 40 N., R. 31 W. at power plant of the Peninsular Power 

Co., 3J^ miles north of city of Iron Mountain, Mien., and 3 miles above 

mouth of Pine River.

DRAINAGE AREA. 1,790 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. January 1, 1914, to September 30, 1922.
16 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PART IV

GAGES. Staff and float gages used to determine effective'head on water wheels.

DISCHARGE. The discharge of the turbines in second-feet corresponding to the 

number of kilowatts is determined for each hour during the day from a 

record of the number of wheels in operation and the load. The sum of-the 

discharge divided by 24 gives the average discharge through the turbines. 

To this quantity is added the leakage through the idle wheels, the water 

passing over the spillway, through the gates, down the log sluice, and leakage 

through the dam.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum mean daily discharge during the year, 

9,560 second-feet April 11; minimum mean daily discharge, 606 second-feet 

January 29.

1914-1922: Maximum mean daily discharge, 16,700 second-feet April 23 

and 24, 1916; minimum mean daily discharge, 274 second-feet, August 10r 

1919.

REGULATION. During the summer of 1919 another power plant was placed in 

operation by the Peninsular Power Co. It is located on Brule River about 

5 miles above gage. Owing to variations in demand the daily discharge 

bears no relation to the natural flow, but the mean monthly discharges 

probably correspond closely to the natural flow.

ACCURACY. Discharge records published in the following tables were obtained by 

adding 10 per cent to discharge as computed from power-plant records. This 

correction is based upon the results of four current-meter measurements made 

in May and September, 1919, and one in September, 1922, by the United 

States Geological Survey at a point about 1 mile downstream from power 

plant,

COOPERATION. Daily-discharge records furnished by Mead and Seastone, consulting engineers, Madison, Wis.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Menominee River at Twin Falls, near Iron 

Mountain, Mich. t for the year ending Sept. SO, 1922

NOTE. Monthly discharge computed by U. S. Geol. Survey from daily-discharge record furnished liy 

Mead anditeastone, consulting engineers, Madison, Wis. See "Accuracy."

MENOMINEE RIVER BELOW KOSS, HIGH.

LOCATION. In sec. 9, T. 34 N., R. 27 W. at power plant of Menominee £$ 

Marinette Light & Traction Co., 4 miles below Koss, Marinette County, 

Mich., and 3 miles west of Ingalls, Mich. Little Cedar River, draining 

an area entirely in Michigan, enters from left half a mile below station.

DRAINAGE AREA. 3,790 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. July 1, 1913, to September 30, 1922.

DISCHARGE. The flow is computed by the Menominee & Marinette Light & 

Traction Co., of Menominee, Mich., as follows: Each hour the load on 

the generators is noted and gage heights are read of the head and tailwater 

to determine the head on the spillway of the dam and the acting head on the 

turbines. The flow through the turbines for each hour is taken from a 

table giving the discharge corresponding to these loads and heads. Tha 

flow over the spillway is taken from a table computed from a weir formula. 

When water is wasted through the gates, the magnitude and duration of 

the gate openings are noted and the quantity wasted determined from computed tables. The sum of'the hourly discharge through the turbines and 

over the spillway, plus the quantity wasted through the gates divided by 

the number of seconds in 24 hours, gives the average discharge in secondfeet for the day. No account is taken of the water passing through the 

exciter turbine, nor waste over the "Trash gate" at the power house. This 

amount is, however, relatively small.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum mean daily discharge during year, 20,500 

second-feet April 12; minimum mean daily discharge, 926 - second-feet 

November 24.

1913-1922: Maximum mean daily discharge, 23,200 second-feet April 23 

and 25, 1916; minimum mean daily discharge, 926 second-feet November 

24, 1922.

REGULATION. Above the station are the following power plants: Sturgeon 

Falls, owned by Pennsylvania Iron Mining Co., 50 miles; Little Quinnesec, 

owned by Kimberly Clark, 57 miles; Upper Quinnesec, owned by Oliver 

Iron Mining Co., 62 miles; Twin Falls, owned by Peninsular Power Co.
SUEFACE WATEE SUPPLY, 1922, PAET IV

With the exception of the Kimberly Clark dam at Little Quinnesec, the 

dams furnish power for utility and mining uses so that the flow past the 

dams is comparatively uniform. The Kimberly Clark dam is used for 

paper mills and regulates the flow on Sundays and holidays. The effect 

of this regulation is generally felt at the stations on Tuesdays. The monthly 

flow probably represents the natural flow.

AcctTEACY. A discharge measurement on September 12, 1922, at highway 

bridge 4 miles below station checks the discharge as computed from the 

power-plant records within 4 per cent. See Water-Supply Paper 524 for 

statement regarding earlier measurements. Records good.

COOPEEATION. Daily-discharge records furnished monthly by Edward Daniell, 

general manager of the Menominee & Marinette Light & Traction Co.

William Taft.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from upstream side of bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Coarse gravel and stones; left bank high and not subject to overflow; extremely high water may overflow right bank around approach to bridge.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 7.20 feet at 

noon April 10 and 11 (discharge, 2,760 second-feet); minimum stage, 1.16 

feet September 2 (discharge, 118 second-feet).

1914-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 9.25 feet at noon April 23, 1916 

(discharge, about 4,520 second-feet); minimum discharge, 118 second-feet 

September 6 and 7, 1915, and September 2, 1922.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except when affected by ice. 

Rating curve well defined between 144 and 1,800 second-feet. Gage read to 

half-tenths once daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying daily gage 

height to rating table, except for period when stage-discharge relation was 

affected by ice, for which it was obtained by applying to rating table daily 

gage height corrected for ice effect by means of discharge measurements, 

observer's notes, and weather records. Open-water records good; winter 

records subject to error.

PESHTIGO RIVER AT HIGH FALLS, NEAR CRIVITZ, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 1, T. 32 N.[ R. 18 K, at High Falls, near Crivitz, Marinette 

County, a quarter of a mjile downstream from power house of Wisconsin

Public Service Co., 1 mile

right), and 15 miles by road northwest of Crivitz.

DRAINAGE AREA. 520 square

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August

upstream from Thunder River (coming in from

miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=& 

miles).

3, 1912, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Gurley water-stage recorder on left bank a quarter of a mile downstream 

from power house; replaced a Barrett* & Lawrence water-stage recorder 

about May 1, 1918. !

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable half a mile below gage. About 

2 second-feet of seepage, witter enters river below gage but above the cable 

and is included in the determined discharge as published.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Ban:

at low stages is a small gravel riffle about 50 feet downstream from the 

gage; at medium and high stages this control is drowned out and is probably 

formed by some section farther downstream. 

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during the year from water-stage

recorder, 7.80 feet at 4.30

foot from midnight to 7.20

ICE. Because of the relatively

high and not subject to overflow. Control

p. m. April 11 (discharge, 3,860 second-feet);

minimum mean daily discharge from power-house records, 56 second-feet 

on December 24, 25, and 26.

1912-1922: Maximum stige, that of April 11, 1922; minimum stage, 0.97

a. m. October 27, 1919 (discharge, 43 secondfeet). Owing to artificial regulation, extremes given do not represent the 

natural flow.

warm water in the large service reservoir, ice

does not form on the river [near gage.

REGULATION. Considerable diurnal fluctuation caused by the operation of the 

power plant and during log-driving season by the manipulation of the gates. 

The mean monthly flow c oes not represent the natural flow because of 

storage in the service reservoir.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge reation permanent; not affected by ice. Rating 

curve well defined above Ii5 second-feet. Daily discharge during periods 

when recording gage was in operation ascertained by use of the discharge 

integrator; discharge for poriod when gage was not in operation based on 

power-plant records corrected by comparison with records from waterstage recorder during timos when gage was in operation. Records for 

medium and high stages goDd; for extreme low stages fair.

The following discharge measurement was made by E. E. Foster: 

September 9, 1922: Gage hei;ht\ 3.17 feet; discharge, 869 second-feet.

southeast of Gillett, Ocpnto County, and 27 miles above mouth of river.

DRAINAGE AREA! 678 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin 

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch = 6 

miles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. June 7, 1906, to March 30, 1909; January 6, 1914, to 

September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Chain gage attached to iron railing on upstream side of bridge; read 

by Harvey Gilbertson. Zero of gage was raised 4.0 feet January 6, 1914.

DISCHARGE MEASTJKEMENTS. Made from upstream side of bridge.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Gravel; fairly permanent. Left bank of medium 

height and not subject to overflow. During extremely high stages water 

may overflow around right end of bridge.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year, 9.10 feet at 3 p. m., 

April 11, caused by failure of dam at Pulcifer, 4 miles upstream (discharge, 

6,470 second-feet); minimum discharge, about 290 second-feet January 

30 to February 2.

, 1906-1922: Maximum; stage, that of April 11, 1922; minimum openwater discharge, 95 second-feet June 3 and 6, 1907.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

REGULATION. None.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, except as affected 

by ice. Rating curve well defined between 300 and 1,850 second-feet, and 

fairly well defined between 1,850 and 6,500 second-feet. Gage read to 

quarter-tenths once daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying daily 

gage height to rating curve, except for period when stage-discharge relation 

was affected by ice, for which it was ascertained by applying to rating table 

daily gage height corrected for ice effect by means of discharge measurements, observer's notes, and weather records. Open-water records excellent, 

except for extremely high stages for which they are good; records for winter 

period are fair.

low and subject to overflow.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from downstream side of Huron Street 

highway bridge in city of Berlin about 2J£ miles downstream from gageRating curves for gage corrected for any small inflow between the gage and 

measuring section.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum mean daily discharge recorded during 

year, 5,920 second-feet, March 16; minimum mean daily discharge, 465 

second-feet, January 26 and 27.

1898-1922: Maximum mean daily discharge, 6,400 second-feet, March 28, 

30, 1916; minimum mean daily discharge, 250 second-feet, February 1-4, 

1900.

ICE. Stage-clischarge relation affected by ice.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except for effect of 

ice. Rating curve well defined between 800 and 6,000 second-feet. Gage 

read three times daily; in general, however, noon reading alone is used in 

determination of daily discharge. Daily discharge ascertained by applying 

mean daily gage height to rating table, corrected for period of ice effect by 

means of curves based on discharge measurements and observer's notes. 

Open-water records good; winter records roughly approximate.

COOPERATION. Records have been collected and computations of daily discharge 

made by United States Engineer Corps. , Open-water records obtained from 

rating curves based on discharge measurements made by United States 

Geological Survey.

The following discharge measurement was made by S. B. Soule": 

July 22, 1922: Gage height, 9.00 feet; discharge, 1,160 second-feet.

FOX BITER AT RAPIDE CROCHE DAM, NEAR WRIGHTSTOWN, WIS..

LOCATION. At Rapide Croehe dam, in sec. 4, T. 21 N., R. 19 E., 2 miles from 

Wrightstown, Brown County, 19 miles downstream from Lake Winnebago} 

and 20 miles upstream from mouth of river at Green Bay.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. March 3, .1896, to September 30, 1922.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 6,150 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin 

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 

miles.

DETERMINATION OF DISCHARGE. The dam, owned by the United States Government and operated by the United States Engineer Corps to aid navigation, is made of timber and is equipped with four needle sluice gates 

which are used only in times of high water. A vertical staff gage at the 

lower end of the canal leading to the lock and about a quarter of a mile 

below the dam is read five t}mes daily at 7 a. m., 9 a. m., noon, 3 p. m., and 

6 p. m. The mean flow for the day is computed from a formula, using the 

five gage heights for the day, assuming gradual changes in gage height 

between the readings and weighting the different gage heights by elapsed 

time.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum mean daily discharge during year, 20,100 

second-feet April 23; minimum mean daily discharge, 1,240 second-feet 

October 9.

1918-1922: Maximum mean daily discharge, that of April 23, 1922; 

minimum mean daily discharge, 742 second-feet August 15, 1921.

REGULATION. The flow past the station is controlled by regulation in Lake 

Winnebago which has an area of 215 square miles, and to some extent by 

dams between the outlet of Lake Winnebago and the station. The dams 

are operated for power purposes and in the interests of navigation. The, 

same storage conditions have existed throughout the period covered by the 

records.

ACCURACY. Records good. , : COOPERATION. The records were collected and computations of daily discharge 

made by the United States Engineer Corps, based on curves which were 

developed by current-meter measurements made by engineers of the United 

States Geological Survey. ,

No discharge measurements were made at this station during the year*

RECOBDS AVAILABLE. May 9, 1907, to March 31, 1909; February 10, 1911, to 

September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Chain gage fastened to downstream side of bridge December 9, 1914; 

May 9, 1907, to November 29, 1914, vertical staff gage fastened to downstream abutment; both gages at same datum; read by G. Sloniker.

DISCHABGE MEAStJKEMENTS. Made from bridge to which gage is attached*
*DO LAKE MICHIGAN

CHANNEL AND CONTBOI,. Gravel; smooth and practically, permanent. Banks 

of medium height; overflow improbable.

EXTBEMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 7.30 feet at 

6.30 p. m. April 10 (discharge, 4,390 second-feet); minimum discharge, 

estimated 410 second-feet February 6 and 7.

1907-1909 and 1911-1922: Maximum stage recorded, that of April 10, 

1922; minimum discharge during open-water periods 275 second-feet, September 26. 1908.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

REGULATION. The river and its main tributaries above Keshena are controlled 

to some extent by logging dams.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except as affected by ice. Rating 

curve well defined between 300 and 2,000 second-feet; extended above and 

below these limits. Gage read to hundredths twice daily. 'Daily discharge 

ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily gage height, except for 

period when stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, for which it was 

ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily gage height corrected 

for ice effect by means of discharge measurements, observer's notes, and 

weather records. Open-water records excellent; winter records fair.

WOLF EIYEE AT NEW LONDON, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 12, T. 22 N., R. 14 E., at Pearl Street highway bridge, 

New London, Waupaca County. Embarrass River enters from right threefourths of a mile above, and Little Wolf River, also from right, 5 miles below 

station.

DRAINAGE AREA. 2,240 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin 

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch= 

6 miles.)

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 1, 1913, to September 30, 1922. Unpublished 

gage heights March 1, 1899, to September 30, 1913, are in files of the office 

of the United States Engineer Corps, Milwaukee, Wis.

GAGE. Staff gage, fastened to right-hand downstream pier of Pearl Street 

Bridge. Datum of gage raised 0.641 foot on March 1, 1911, according to 

information furnished by the United States Engineer Corps. Zero of 

present gage is at an elevation of 748.874 feet above mean sea level, New 

York City datum.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from, Shawano Street bridge four blocks 

below gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Sand, hard pan, and mud; not permanent. Control 

not well defined. Banks at the gage fairly high. During flood stages the 

water from Embarrass River flows across the city of New London into the 

channel of Wolf River below the gage.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during the year, 11.4 feet 

at 8 a. m. April 13 (discharge, 15,500 second-feet); minimum discharge 

estimated 780 second-feet January 28 to February 13.

1914-1922: Maximum discharge that of April 13, 1922; minimum discharge, 700 second-feet February 6-9, 1918. The United States Engineer's 

office reports a stage of 11.6 feet on April 16,1888.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REGULATION. Little, if any, diurnal fluctuation, due to operation of power 

plants above the station, has been observed at the gage; monthly flow 

natural.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation not permanent; rating curve well defined. 

Gage read to tenths once daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying 

daily gage height to rating table, except for period when stage-discharge 

relation was affected by ice, for which it was obtained by applying to rating 

table mean daily gage height corrected for ice effect by means of discharge 

measurements, observer's notes, and weather records. Open-water records 

good; winter records fair.

EMBARRASS RIVER NEAR EMBARRASS, WIS. , , v\

LOCATION. At highway bridge on line between T, 26 N., R. 14 E., and T. 26 N., 

K. 15 E., 1 mile downstream from mouth of Mill Creek, coming in from left, 

and 4 miles upstream from Embarrass, Waupaca County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 395 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin 

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 

miles).

"RECORDS AVAILABLE. June 5, 1919, to September 30, 1922.

'GAGE. Chain gage fastened to downstream handrail; read by Charles Muraski.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed of channel at gage and downstream heavy gravel. 

Riffle 100 feet downstream forms the control. Right bank not subject to 

overflow; left bank of medium height and will be overflowed at a stage of 

about 9 feet.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from downstream side of bridge.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 11.50 feet at 

4 p, m., April 10 (discharge, 6,760 second-feet); minimum discharge estimated, 68 second-feet January 20-25.

1919-1922: Maximum stage recorded, that of April 10, 1922; minimum 

stage recorded, 2.52 feet at 7.05 a. m. August 2, 1920 (discharge, 52 secondfeet). * .:

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

REGULATION. Several dams above station are used for development of power 

but they do not have enough storage to cause any but slight daily fluctuation 

in stage.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent. Rating curve well defined 

between 114 and 2,800 second-feet; extended above 2,800 second-feet. Gage 

read to hundredjbhs twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying

86 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, FAET IV

HTTLE WOLF KIVBR AT KOYALTON, TO.

LOCATION. In sec. 1, T. 22 N., R. 13 E., at highwayjbridge at Royalton, Waupaca County, 4 miles above mouth of river.

DRAINAGE AREA. 485 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin 

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch =6 

ttiiles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. January 13, 1914, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Sloping gage on left bank 150 feet upstream from highway bridge; read 

by J. G. Jensen. Prior to August 20,1915, a chain gage fastened to upstream 

side of highway bridge was used. Datum of the sloping gage is 0.75 foot 

higher than that of the chain gage; owing to change in slope, however, 

difference between the readings on the slope gage and chain gage is not 

constant.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable 500 feet upstream from gage 

or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Stream bed at gage section consists of heavy gravel 

and rock; fairly permanent. At measuring section bed is fine, smooth 

gravel. Neither bank is overflowed to any extent at flood stages.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 6.92 feet at 

7 a. m. April 10 and at 5 p. m. April 11 (discharge, 5,780 second-feet); minimum discharge, 120 second-feet January 20.

1914-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 7.5 feet at 7.15 p. m. June 7, 1914 

(discharge, 5,350 second-feet); minimum discharge, 120 second-feet January 

20, 1922.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REQULATICJN. The few power plants above the station have little storage; and 

no diurnal fluctuation has been observed at the gage.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent. Rating curve well defined 

below 3,220 second-feet; gage read to quarter-tenths twice daily. Daily 

discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage height to rating table, 

except for period when stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, for 

which it was obtained by applying to rating table mean daily gage height 

corrected for ice effect by means of discharge measurements, observer's 

notes, and weather records. Open-water records good; winter records fair.

WAUPACA RIVER NEAR WAUPACA, WIS.

LOCATION. Near north line of sec. 1, T. 21 N., R. 12 E., at Waupaca County 

highway bridge, 4 miles downstream from Waupaca, Waupaca County.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 305 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin 

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inched 

miles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 18, 1917, to September 30, 1922. June 28, 1916, 

to October 18, 1917, records were obtained at a station near Weyauwega, 1 

mile downstream from present site.

GAGE. Chain gage, bolted to upstream handrail of bridge; read by George 

Radtke.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from upstream side of bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed consists of fine gravel and clay; free from vegetation. Control not well defined. Right bank is high and is seldom overflowed; left bank of medium height and is overflowed at a stage of about 6 

feet.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 4.60 feet at 

9.30 a. m. April 11 (discharge, 1,690 second-feet); minimum discharge estimated 100 second-feet February 18.

1918-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 5.6 feet March 17, 1919 (discharge, 

2,600 second-feet); minimum stage, 1.28 feet November 21, 1920 (discharge, 

96 second-feet).

REGULATION. Power plants at Waupaca and above on the main stream and also 

several on Crystal River may cause slight fluctuation during low stages. 

Pondage at the various plants is small so that mean monthly discharge 

represents closely the natural flow.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed slightly during winter; rating 

curve used October 1 to December 16 fairly well defined; curve used March 

24 to September 30 fairly well defined between 184 and 331 second-feet.

SHEBOYGAN RWEH NEAR SHEBOYGAN, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 28, T. 15 N., R. 23 E., 2 miles west of Sheboygan, Shfcboygan 

County, and 2J^ miles above mouth.

DRAINAGE AREA. 403 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin 

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 

miles).

HECORDS AVAILABLE. June 30, 1916, to September 30, 1922.

'GAGBK ^Chain gage fastened to upstream side of bridge; read by Wilma Opgenorth. (

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. From highway bridge or by wading. At extreme 

flood stages, measurement may be made from Chicago & North Western 

Railway bridge, one-third mile downstream.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Control is a well-defined riffle about 200 feet below 

bridge. Stream bed composed of heavy gravel; free from aquatic grass. 

Banks are of medium height and are seldom overflowed.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE Maximum stage recorded during year, 7.20 feet at 

5.15 p. m., March 7 (discharge, 3,500 second-feet); minimum stage, 1.48 

feet at 4.30 p. m., August 27 (discharge, about 1 second-foot).

1916-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 9.40 feet at 7 a. m., March 26, 1920 

(discharge, 7,140 second-feet); minimum stage, 1.48 feet at 4.30 p. m., August 

27, 1922, caused by shut-down of power plants (discharge, about 1 secondfoot).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REGULATION. At Iqw stages there is a small amount of diurnal fluctuation due 

to operation of small power plants above.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation fairly permanent. Rating curve well 

defined below 3,000 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths twice daily; 

slight diurnal fluctuation during low-water periods may somewhat impair 

the accuracy of the daily mean gage height. Daily discharge ascertained 

by applying mean daily gage height to rating table except for period when 

stage-discharge relation was affected by ice for which it was obtained by 

applying to rating table mean daily gage height corrected for ice effect by 

means of discharge measurements, observer's notes, and weather records. 

Open-water records fair; winter record roughly approximate.

MILWAUKEE BITER NEAE MILWAUKEE, WIS.

LOCATION. In NW. % sec. 5, T. 7 N., E. 22 E., immediately above an old 

quarry near north limits of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, half mile below 

concrete highway bridge, 1 mile above Mineral Spring road, and 53^ miles 

above confluence of Milwaukee and Menominee rivers.

DRAINAGE AREA, 661 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin 

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 

miles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. April 30, 1914, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Slope gage set in concrete foundations on the left bank of the river; 

prior to April 18, 1918, chain gage fastened to cantilever arms supported 

by posts. Both gages at same datum. Gage read by Mrs. Eichard Kuehl.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed of channel at gage heavy gravel. About 200 

feet below gage is a rock outcrop with a 4-foot fall which forms the control, 

and is fairly permanent, changing only during exceptionally heavy floods. 

Below the control the river flows in an artificial channel, which at one time 

was a quarry. Left bank above and below the control high and not subject to overflow; right bank above control of medium height; below the 

control the right bank is artificial and of such height that overflows will 

seldom occur.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made by wading immediately above the gage 

section; at medium and high stages from a concrete highway bridge about 

1 mile upstream from the gage.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 4.6 feet at 

3 p. m. February 24 (discharge, 4,150 second-feet); minimum stage, 0.40 

foot at 5 p. m. September 7 (discharge, about 39 second-feet).

1914-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 9.00 feet March 20,1918 (discharge, 

about 12,100 second-feet); minimum discharge, about 26 second-feet 

August 2, 1916.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation not affected by ice during year.

REGULATION. No diurnal fluctuation at the gage resulting from operation of 

small plants above.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation well defined throughout range of stage 

which occurred during the year. Stage-discharge relation permanent. 

Gage read to quarter-tenths twice daily. Practically no diurnal fluctuation due to artificial regulation. Daily discharge ascertained by applying 

mean daily gage height to rating table. Open-water records excellent; 

winter records fair.

LITTLE OAIUM1T KHTHl'AT HAEVEY, HI.

LOCATION. In NW. M sec. 9, T. 36 N., R. 14 E., at Illinois Central Railroad 

bridge, 800 feet north of railroad station at 147th Street, Harvey, Cook 

County, and 11 miles above mouth of river.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 570 square miles (measured on map issued by United States 

Geological Survey; scale, 1: 500,000).

RECOUPS AVAILABLE. Daily discharge, October 1, 1916, to September 30, 1922. 

Daily gage heights June 10, 1907, to September 30, 1916, were collected by 

the Sanitary District of Chicago.

GAGE. Vertical staff gage attached to bridge pier; read by Mrs. H. Wurtman.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed of river at gage composed of clay and gravel. 

Low-water control is at The Rocks, about a mile below gage where bed of 

river is heavy gravel; somewhat shifting. Banks not subject to overflow.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 9.95 feet at 

8 a. m. April 12 (discharge, 3,550 second-feet); minimum stage, 2.94 feet 

August 21 and 22 (discharge, 48 second-feet).

1907-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 13.4 feet March 6, 1908 (discharge 

not determined). Minimum discharge from 1917 to 1922, estimated at 

less than 25 second-feet in January, 1918.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation affected by remains of cofferdam at highway bridge 2,000 feet below gage from October 1 to about December 31; 

seriously affected by ice for short periods during the winter and changed 

slightly by high water of April. Rating curve used October 1 to April 12 

well defined above, and fairly well defined below, 60 second-feet; curve used 

April 13 to September 30 well defined throughout. Gage read to hundredths 

once daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying daily gage height to 

rating tables, correction for backwater October 1 to December 31 estimated 

from results of discharge measurements. Records good for open-water 

periods after December 31, fair for period October 1 to December 31, poor 

for period of ice effect.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ERIE 

HUROff BITER AT BAETOH, MICE.

LOCATION, At dam and power plant of Eastern Michigan Edison Co. at Barton, 

near Ann Arbor. ,

DKAINAGE ABBA. 723 square miles.

RECOKDS AVAILABLE. January 1, 1914, to September 30, 1922.

DETEKMINATION OF DISCHAKQE. Flow computed from records of operation of 

power plant, the flow through under-sluice during floods, and the depth of 

flow over dam. The flow through the power house is determined from a 

calibration of the turbines by means of a specially constructed weir, the 

crest of which was formed by a J^-inch by 5-inch milled plate, the discharge 

over tne weir being computed by Bazin's formula for free overflow. The 

greater part of the flood water passes through under-sluiees in the powerhouse foundations, and this flow is determined from a weir calibration of 

the sluices. Water flows over crest of dam only a few days during the year,

HURON RIVER AT FLAT ROCK, HIGH.

LOCATION. At highway bridge at Flat Rock, 2,000 feet below crossing of Detroit,

Toledo & Ironton Railway, 

DBAINAGE AREA. 1,000 square miles. 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 6, 1904, to March 4, 1922, when station was

discontinued. 

GAGE. Staff; read daily to tenths, occasionally to half-tenths twice daily, by

John Vincent.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from downstream side of bridge. 

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Probably permanent. 

EXTREMES OF STAGE. Maximum stage recorded during the period October 1,

1921, to March 4, 1922, 8.60 feet December 25 (stage-discharge relation

affected by ice); minimum stage, 1.40 feet October 31. 

ICE. Ice jams form below station and cause backwater at the gage; in general,

the section above the station is kept open by the power plant. 

REGULATION. At ordinary stages flow of the river is controlled by a dam and

power plant immediately above station, but operation of this plant is assumed

to have little effect on diurnal fluctuations of stage.

No discharge measurements were made at this station during the year.

notes, weather records, and records of flow of Maumee River and tributaries

above station. 

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum combined discharge of river and canal

during period of records in 1921 and 1922, 41,700 second-feet on April 2,

1922; minimum combined discharge, 299 second-feet on September 8, 1921. 

REGULATION. Flow at extremely low water may be affected by regulation of

Auglaize River at dam of Defiance Gas & Electric Co., near Defiance. 

DIVERSIONS. Water is diverted into Miami and Erie Canal at Grand Rapids

and carried past station. See record of Miami and Erie Canal at Waterville. 

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except when affected by ice.

Rating curve well defined up to 25,000 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths once daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying gage height to

rating table. Records good except those for extremely low water and for

period of ice effect, which are fair.

LOCATION. In sec. 17, T. 6 N., R. 4 E., at highway bridge 2 miles southwest of 

Stryker, Williams County.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 383 square miles (area in Ohio measured on topographic 

maps; area in Michigan on United States Geological Survey map, scale, 

1:1,000,000).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. September 1, 1921t to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Chain gage on highway bridge; read by Lowell Allison.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel straight for about 400 feet above and below 

gage. One channel at all stages. Banks high and brushy. Control for 

low water is ruins of old timber milldam half a mile below gage; control 

for high water is long stretch of river below gage. Zero flow would occur 

at zero gage height.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during period of record^ 

13.0 feet at 5.30 p. m. April 1 (discharge, 1,990 second-feet); minimum 

stage, 1.10 feet at 8.35 a. m. August 16 (discharge, 15 second-feet). Discharge may have been as low or lower during January when stage-discharge 

relation was affected by ice.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice; flow estimated from discharge 

measurements, observer's notes, and weather records.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except when affected by leaves 

on control October 14-31, by ice January 13 to February 8, and by limbs 

blown into creek July 11-18. Rating curve well defined. Gage read to 

hundredths twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean 

daily height to rating table. Records good, except for period of ice effect 

and periods when leaves and limbs were lodged on control for which they 

are fair.

Gas & Electric Co., 3 miles south of Defiance, Defiance County.

DRAINAGE ABE A. 2,320 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. April 13, 1915, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Vertical staff gage on upstream side of power plant at right end of dam. 

Auxiliary staff gage in tailwater. Gages set to mean sea-level datum. 

Crest of dam is 688 feet and top of flashing 689.75 feet above mean sea level. 

Gages read hourly by attendants of power plant.

DISCHABGE MEASTIBEMENTS. Made from highway bridge 1% miles below dam 

or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel slightly curved above and below dam. 

Banks high. The dam and power plant form the control for the gage. 

Daily discharge ascertained by power company from hourly readings on 

head and tail gages, log sheets of power plant, and ratings of crest of dam, 

Taintor gates, and turbines.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum mean daily discharge during period of 

record, 36,100 second-feet on March 18, 1919; minimum mean daily discharge, 7 second-feet on June 30, 1918.

ICE. Determination of discharge over dam and through plant not seriously 

affected by ice.

DIVERSIONS. None. \

HEGTTLATION. Flow regulated by operation of power plant of the Defiance Gas 

& Electric Co. Record of discharge not corrected for storage.

ACCURACY. Daily discharge ascertained by power company from readings on 

head and tail gages, and ratings of crest of dam, Taintor gates, and turbines. 

The discharge computed by the power company has been checked at various 

stages by current-meter measurements made below dam by engineers of the 

United States Geological Survey and found to be accurate. The leakage 

through dam and plant has been determined for various stages below crest 

level by current-meter measurements made by wading below the dam when 

power plant was shut down. The leakage varies from 7 second-feet at headwater elevation 679 feet to 41 second-feet at headwater elevation 688 feet; 

All daily discharge values below 300 second-feet have been corrected for 

leakage. Records good.

COOPERATION. Record of daily discharge, uncorrected for leakage, furnished toy 

Defiance Gas & Electric Co. All records of daily discharge below 300 

second-feet corrected for leakage by engineers of the United States Geological 

Survey.

LOCATION. In T. 6 N., R 12 W., at highway bridge three-eighths mile northwest 

of Thornburg, 1 mile north of Independence, Cuyahoga County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 709 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. September 21, 1903, to July 21, 1906, and September 28, 

1921, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Chain gage on highway bridge; read by Martin Walter and John Zimmerman.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from bridge at gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel straight for 500 feet above and 3,000 feet 

below gage. Banks fairly high. One channel at all stages. Bed of stream 

composed of gravel and small boulders. Control for low water is rime about 

700 feet below gage. Control for high water is long stretch of channel.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum combined discharge of river and canal 

during 1921-22, 6,190 second-feet on April 15; minimum combined discharge, 116 second-feet on October 3.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice; flow estimated from observer's 

notes, weather records, and record of flow of Cuyahoga River at Old Portage.

DIVERSIONS. Water is diverted into the Ohio Canal at Brecksville about 6 

miles upstream and carried past station. See record of flow of Ohio Canal at 

Independence. A small amount of water is diverted into this basin from 

Tuscarawas River by the Ohio Canal.

REGULATION. Flow is regulated at reservoir above Akron.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed during high water on April 15; 

affected by ice January 24 to February 3. Rating curves well defined up to 

3,500 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths twice daily. Daily discharge 

ascertained by applying daily mean gage height to rating table. Records 

for period of ice effect and period in which gage was not read, fair; for remainder of year, good.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

IITTIE TOWAWANDA CEEEK AT LINDEN, IT. Y.

LOCATION. At stone-arch highway bridge in Linden, Genesee County, 3 miles 

above junction with Tonawanda Creek.

DKAINAGE AKEA. 22.0 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

KECORDS AVAILABLE. July 8, 1912, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Vertical staff on upstream side of right abutment; read by C. L. Schenck.

DISCHARGE MEASUBEMENTS. Made by wading near gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. A standard Francis weir, 2.01 feet long and 8 inches 

high was reconstructed September 18, 1920, under the upstream side of 

the bridge. When the water overtops this weir it flows over a 2-inch plank 

about 13 feet long, including the 2 feet of weir. At the time of the spring 

break-up the ice jammed at the bridge and caused the weir to bulge downstream slightly. This condition, which did not affect the rating, was 

remedied August 21 to September 1, when the weir was repaired.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during the year, 9.48 

feet at 6 p. m. February 23 (discharge, 1,370 second-feet); minimum stage, 

0.19 foot several times October 2-7 (discharge, 0.4 second-foot).

1912-1922: Maximum discharge, 2,500 second-feet, at 6 p. m. May 10, 

1919 (gage-height,, 9.0 feet); minimum discharge, 0.4 second-foot several 

times in September and October, 1921.

ICE. Ice forms above weir, but control is kept free from ice by observer before 

reading gage.

ACCITBACT. Stage-discharge relation permanent, except August 22-30, when 

weir was being repaired. Eating curve well defined below 800 second-feet. 

Gage read to hundredths twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by 

applying mean daily gage height to rating table. Kecords good.

wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Coarse gravel, practically permanent.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 5.4 feet at 

8 a. m. June 12 (discharge, 4,230 second-feet); minimum stage, 0.40 foot 

at 6.30 p. m. September 10 and 8 a. m. September 11 (backwater correction 

of 0.04 foot due to rubbish), (discharge, 33 second-feet).

1916-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 9.1 feet at noon May 22, 1919 

(discharge, 10,600 second-feet); minimum discharge, 21 second-feet at 7 

p. m. September 3 and 9.30 a. m. September 4, 1921.

ICE. StageTdischarge relation affected by ice.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, except as affected 

by ice December to February and by rubbish July to September. Rating 

curve well defined between 20 and 2,000 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily 

gage-height, corrected for backwater when necessary, to rating table. Records good except for periods when stage-discharge relation was affected by 

ice or rubbish or when gage was not read, for which they are fair.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except as affected 

by ice, December to February. Rating curve used for chain gage October 1 to spring break-up fairly well defined between 40 and 4,000 second-feet; 

curve used after spring break-up for chain gage well defined between 150 

and 2,500 second-feet. Curve for automatic gage fairly well defined between 

500 and 30,000 second-feet. Gage heights for stages above 3.3 feet taken 

from recorder graph when gage was operating satisfactorily; below 3.3 feet 

from chain gage. Daily discharge ascertained by applying to proper rating 

table mean daily gage height determined by averaging the twice daily chain 

gage readings, or from inspection of automatic record, except for days of 

considerable fluctuation, when the discharge is averaged for intervals of the 

day. Records fair.

80 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PART IV

GENESEE RIVER AT JONES BRIDGE, NEAR MOUNT MORRIS, N. Y.

LOCATION. At highway bridge known as Jones Bridge, IJ-^ miles below Canaseraga Creek, 1% miles above mouth of Beards Creek, 5 miles below Mount 

Morris, Livingston County, and 6 miles by river above Geneseo.

DKAINAGE AREA. 1,400 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 22, 1903, to April 30, 1906; August 12, 1908, 

to December 31, 1913; July 12, 1915, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Gurley seven-day water-stage recorder installed September 11, 1915, 

on right bank 60 feet downstream from bridge. Prior to 1915 a chain 

gage fastened to upstream side of highway bridge was used. Datum 

of water-stage recorder, 2.73 feet higher than that of chain gage (540.00 feet 

New York State Conservation Commission datum). Recorder inspected 

by Theron S. Trewer.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from footbridge erected on lower chord 

of upstream bridge truss.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Sandy clay; fairly permanent in recent years.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum open-water stage during year from waterstage recorder, 18.06 feet at noon April 1 (discharge, 14,600 second-feet); 

minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 0.39 foot at 2 a. m. October 7 

(discharge, 72 second-feet).

1903-1906, 1908-1913, and 1915-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 25.44 

feet at noon May 17, 1916 (discharge, 55,100 second-feet); minimum stage 

recorded, 2.7 feet at 6 p. m. August 29,1909 (discharge, about 18 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REGULATION. Some diurnal fluctuation due to operation of mills at Mount 

Morris is observable during extremely low water.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed presumably at time of spring 

break-up, March 8, and returned to previous rating probably at time of high 

water, September 12. Rating curve used before the spring break-up very 

well defined between 75 and 7,000 second-feet and fairly well defined between 7,000 and 60,000 second-feet; curve used after the break-up fairly well 

defined between 400 and 6,000 second-feet. Operation of water-stage 

recorder satisfactory except as indicated in footnote to daily-discharge 

table. Daily discharge ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily 

gage height obtained by inspecting recorder graph, or for days of considerable fluctuation, by averaging discharge for intervals of the day. Records 

good, except for periods of ice effect and when gage did not operate, for 

which they are fair.

GENESEE RIVER AT DRIVING PARK AVENUE, ROCHESTER, N. Y.

LOCATION. In station 5 of Rochester Gas & Electric Corporation, 400 feetabove Driving Park Avenue Bridge, 1^4 miles northwest of center of city of 

Rochester, Monroe County, and 5 miles above mouth of river.

DEAINAGE AREA. 2,460 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILAPX.F December 17, 1919, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Gurley 7-aay water-stage recorder installed in northwest corner of power 

house, December 14, 1919. Staff gage above Court Street dam was used 

March 17 ta April 4, 1920", and a chain gage at site of water-stage recorder, 

April 5 to August 19, 1920, when recorder was out of commission. Recorder 

inspected by C. M. Hawkins, employee of the Rochester Gas & Electric: 

Corporation.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable about 2,000 feet below gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Coarse gravel and large broken rock; probably 

permanent.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stagerecorder, 10.02 feet from 9 to 10 a. m. April 2 (discharge, 15,700 secondfeet) ; minimum stage occurs nearly every day during low-water period wheri' 

power plant shuts down.

1919-1922: Maximum discharge recorded, about 26,000 second-feet at 

2.30 p. m. March 17, 1920 (observed at Court Street dam).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation not affected by ice.

REGULATION. Daily discharge affected by storage for power purposes at 

Rochester and points upstream.

DIVERSIONS. The Barge Canal crosses the river near the southern line of the 

city of Rochester. It discharges water into Genesee River from Lake 

Erie and diverts water to the east for canal purposes.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent; not affected by ice. Rating 

curve fairly well defined between 500 and 5,000 second-feet, and well defined 

between 5,000 and 15,000 second-feet. Operation of water-stage recorder 

satisfactory except as indicated in footnote to daily-discharge table. Daily 

discharge ascertained by discharge integration prior to March 4; subsequently, by averaging discharge for bi-hourly intervals of the day. Records 

fair.

SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PART IV

CANASERAGA CREEK NEAR DANSVHIE, W. Y.

LOCATION. At highway bridge 1 mile west of Dansville, Livingston County, 

2,200 feet below mouth of Mill Brook and 22 miles above mouth of creek.

DRAINAGE AREA. 158 square miles (measured by engineers of New York 

State Conservation Commission).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. July 21, 1910, to December 31, 1912; July 10, 1915, to 

June 30, 1917; March 10, 1919, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Gurley seven-day water-stage recorder installed October 19, 1920, on 

downstream side of left bridge abutment. .During winter a vertical staff 

at the same location is used because of unsatisfactory operation of waterstage recorder. Recorder inspected and staff gage read by Frank S. Fox.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Sand and gravel; shifting frequently.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stage 

recorder, 11.20 feet at 6 a. m. September 4 (discharge determined from 

logarithmic extension of rating curve, about 3,500 second-feet); minimum 

stage from water-stage recorder, 6.11 feet at 2 p. m. October 6 (discharge, 

20 second-feet).

1910-1912, 1915-1917, and 1919-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 13.0 

feet at 9.30 p. m. May 16, 1916 (discharge, determined from logarithmic 

extension of rating curve, roughly 6,600 second-feet); minimum discharge, 

14 second-feet, September 10, 1921.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation not permanent; affected by ice, December 

to February. Rating curve fairly well defined between 30 and 2,000 secondfeet. Daily discharge ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily 

gage height as observed or as determined from inspection of recorder graph, 

or for days of considerable fluctuation, by averaging discharge for intervals 

of day; shifting-control method used March 15 to September 30. Records 

fair.

NOTE. Mean discharge, Dec. 29 to Jan. 4, estimated by comparison with records of flow at other stations 

in the basin. Discharge, Dec. 27, 28, and Jan. 5 to Feb. 20, determined from gage heights corrected for ice 

effect from two discharge measurements, study of weather records and gage-height graph and comparison 

with records of other stations nearby. Staff gage readings used Jan. 5 to Mar. 13, when recorder did not 

operate. Mean gage height, Mar. 14, partly estimated.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 87

KESHEQUA CREEK AT CRAIG COLONY, SONYEA, N. Y.

LOCATION. About 200 feet downstream from private highway bridge on grounds

of Craig Colony at Sonyea, Livingston County. 

DRAINAGE AREA. 70 square miles (measured by New York State Conservation

Commission). 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 31, 1917, to September 30, 1922, at present

site; July 22, 1910, to December 31, 1912, at a site 200 feet upstream.

August 29, 1915, to October 31, 1917, at a site 1 mile downstream. 

GAGE. Vertical staff gage in three sections on retaining wall on left bank just

above the concrete dam for pumping plant of Craig Colony; read by A. J.

Porter. 

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from the private highway bridge above gage

or by wading. 

CONTROL. Double-crested concrete dam built by Craig Colony for maintaining

water level for their pumping plant; permanent. 

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 3.10 feet at

4 p. m. March 7 (discharge, 1,840 second-feet); minimum stage recorded,

0.25 foot at 7 a. m. October 6 (discharge, 3.2 second-feet).

1917-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 5.9 feet at 10 a. m. May 22, 1919

(discharge, beyond limits of present rating curve); minimum discharge, 0.7

second-foot at 8 a. m. August 20, 1918. 

ICE. Stage-discharge relation slightly affected by ice. 

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed presumably at time of high water

in March; affected by ice for a short period in January. Rating curve used

prior to October 1, 1921, was revised above 180 second-feet, on basis of re- 

' cent discharge measurements and is fairly well defined between 5 and 1,500

second-feet; revised curve used from October 1 to March 6. Curve used

after March 6 fairly well defined between 5 and 1,500 second-feet and is

identical with the previous curve above 180 second-feet. Gage read to

hundredths twice daily. Daily discharge determined by applying mean

daily gage height to rating table. Records good.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 89

CONESUS CREEK HEAR LAKEVILIE, N. Y.

LOCATION. At highway bridge known locally as Millville Bridge, 1% miles north 

of Lakeville, Livingston County, and outlet of Conesus Lake.

DRAINAGE AREA. 71 square miles (furnished by New York State Conservation 

Commission).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. November 13, 1919, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Vertical staff bolted to upstream side of right abutment of bridge; 

read by W. B. Milliman.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from highway bridge about a quarter of a 

mile downstream or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. A rectangular weir, 2.01 feet long and 0.67 foot high 

under upstream side of bridge. When the water overtops this weir it flows 

over a 2-inch plank 25.75 feet long, including the 2 feet of weir. The theoretical stage-discharge relation does not apply on account of leakage under 

the left abutment and around the right end of weir.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 2.24 feet at 

10 a. m. April 1 and 8 a. m. April 2 (discharge, 178 second-feet); minimum 

discharge, about 2.5 second-feet, during periods in October and November. 

1919-1922: Maximum and minimum stages recorded, same*as given above.

ICE. Creek frozen over in winter, but weir is usually kept fre'e of ice.

DIVERSIONS. No water is diverted from Conesus Lake above the station.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except as affected by leakage. 

Rating curve used October 1 to March 31 fairly well denned between 4 and 

150 second-feet. A new rating curve, defined by discharge measurements 

made during low-water period, indicating an increase in leakage, and fairly 

well denned between the same limits, as former curve, was used April 1 to 

September 30. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage 

height to rating table. Records only fair.

CAWADICE LAKE OUTLET WEAK HEMLOCK, N. Y.

LOCATION. At foot of Canadice Lake, Livingston County. Outlet flows into*

Genesee River through Canadice Lake outlet and Honeoye Creek. 

DRAINAGE ABE A. 12.6 square miles, of which 1.0 square mile is lake surfaceRECORDS AVAILABLE. April, 1903, to September 30, 1922. 

GAGE. Hook, in channel above weir.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 91

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Outflow is measured over a standard thin-edged weir 

with a 5-foot crest and two end contractions so arranged with needle timbers 

at the ends that the length may be increased to 14.96 feet. No end contractions during high water. The weir crest stands 3.14 feet above the stream, 

channel, which is artificial with a plank bottom and vertical sides, and the 

crest is never submerged by backwater. Two additional rectangular gates > 

each 1 foot square with three complete contractions and a fourth incomplete 

contraction at the bottom.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation not affected by ice as the pool above the weir 

is free from ice throughout the winter.

DIVERSIONS. No water is diverted from Canadice Lake above the station.

REGULATION. Outflow of lake is regulated by bulkhead and gates at dam 

above weir.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent. Rating curve used is expressed by Francis formula. Corrections are made for velocity of approach 

for high stages. Gage read to hundredths once daily. Records good.

COOPERATION. Data collected, computed, and furnished for publication by 

the city engineer of Rochester.

NOTE. Terminal water surface for the year was 2.64 feet higher than for the, previous year, corresponding 

to a gain in storage of 73,048,325 cubic feet, or a discharge of 2.316 second-feet for the year. This correction 

applied to the above mean for the year gives 12.144 second-feet, equivalent to 0.964 second-foot per square 

mile, or a run-off of 13.027 inches from the drainage area.

OWASCO LAKE OUTLET NEAB AUBUBN, N. Y.

LOCATION. On farm of Charles H. Pearce, 2 miles below center of Auburn, 

Cayuga County, and 3% miles below State dam at outlet of Owasco Lake.

DRAINAGE AREA. 206 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. November 17, 1912, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Gurley printing water-stage recorder on left bank until May 19, 1922, 

when a Gurley seven-day water-stage recorder was installed. Recorders inspected by Mrs. Charles H. Pearce.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable directlv opposite gage or by 

wading 100 feet below dam.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. A low concrete control has been constructed about 16 

feet below gage. Crest of control is 1 foot wide and the slopes of both 

upstream and downstream faces are J^:l. A small horizontal apron built 

on a level with the bed of the stream extends downstream 2J^ feet from toe 

of dam. Mean elevation of the left end of the dam for a distance of 50 feet 

is gage-height 1.28 feet; the remaining 50 feet of the crest of the dam is at a 

gage-height of 2.13 feet.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PART

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stage 

recorder, 4.05 feet at 12.30 p. m. June 22 (discharge, 1,810 second-feet); 

minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 1.41 feet at 2.15 p. m. October 30 

(discharge, 5.6 second-feet).

1912-1922: Maximum stage, 6.4 feet during period March 25-30, 1913, 

determined by leveling from flood marks (discharge, 2,750 second-feet); 

minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 1.38 feet (effective) at 7 p. m. 

August 21, 1920 (discharge, 3.8 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seldom affected by ice.

DIVERSIONS. An average flow of about 10 second-feet is pumped from Owasco, 

Lake for the municipal water supply of the city of Auburn. Proportion 

returning to stream above the gaging station is not known.

REGULATION. Large diurnal fluctuation in flow during low-water periods due to 

operation of mills in the city of Auburn; seasonal flow regulated at the State 

dam.

ACCURACT. Stage-discharge relation permanent throughout year. Rating 

curve well defined between 1 and 1,700 second-feet. Operation of waterstage recorders satisfactory, except as indicated in footnote to daily-discharge 

table. Daily discharge ascertained by averaging the hourly discharge for 

the period when the printing water-stage recorder was in operation; and by 

applying to rating table mean daily gage-height determined by inspection of 

gage-height graph or for days of considerable fluctuation, by averaging discharge for intervals of the day, when the seven-day recorder was in operation. Records good, except for periods of estimate, which are fair. 

The following discharge measurement was made by B. F. Howe: 

September 4, 1922: Gage height, 2.66 feet; discharge, 381 second-feet.

BLACK KXVEB NEAR BOONVILLE, N. Y.

LOCATION. At highway bridge 1 mile above mouth of Sugar River, 2 miles 

northeast of Boonville, Oneida County, and 2 miles, by river, downstream 

from Hawkinsville.

DRAINAGE AREA. 303 square miles (measured on topographic maps),

RECORDS AVAILABLE. February 16, 1911, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Chain near center of left span, downstream side of bridge; staff gage on 

right abutment used for high-water readings; read by W. D. Charbonneau,

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable about half a mile above gage 

or by wading near gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Rough and full of boulders, permanent.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum open-water stage recorded during year, 

9.90 feet at 5 p. m. April 12 (discharge, 5,380 second-feet); minimum stage 

recorded, 3.00 feet at 8 a. m. October 3 (discharge, 27 second-feet).

1911-1922: Maximum stage (determined by leveling from flood mark) 

about 12.5 feet during night of March 28, 1913 (discharge, about 10,000 

second-feet); minimum stage, 2.4 feet at 5 p. m. August 26, 1918 (discharge, 

about 5 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice,

REGULATION AND DIVERSION. The State dam at Forestport, about 8 miles 

upstream, provides a reservoir with a capacity of 2 billion cubic feet. Water 

is diverted from this reservoir during the navigation season through the 

Forestport feeder, flowing west to a basin in Boonville. The Black River 

canal flows north from this basin entering Black River at the foot «of Lyons 

Falls. A spillway from the basin overflows into Mill Creek, a tributary of 

Black River. Water flowing through these two channels returns to the river 

below the gaging station, thus passing around it. The Black River canal also 

flows south from Boonville, passing out of the Black River drainage and entering the summit level of the Erie Canal (or Barge Canal) at Rome.

98099 25t WSP 544 7
94 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PART IV

A continuous record of the amount of diversion through the Foreetport 

feeder from the Black River at Forestport during navigation season is 

published as a separate station "Forestport feeder near Boonville, N. Y." 

Discharge measurements are made for this station at a steel highway bridge 

in Hawkinsville. Occasional discharge measurements are made of the amount 

of diversion through this feeder during the winter and are included in the 

table of discharge measurements of the above-mentioned station. A continuous record of the amount of diversion out of the Black River drainage 

basin is published as a separate station "Black River canal, flowing south, 

near Boonville, N. Y." Discharge measurements are made for this station 

at a steel and concrete highway bridge in Boonville. The difference in discharge between these two records doubtless represent very nearly the amount 

of water diverted around this station and returned to Black River. 

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, except as affected 

by ice. Rating curve well defined between 35 and 2,800 second-feet and 

fairly well defined between 2,800 and 4,500 second-feet. Gage read to 

hundredths twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean 

daily gage height to rating table. Records good, except for periods when the 

stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, for which they are fair.

NOTE. Water diverted past this station by the Forestport feeder is not included in the above table. 

BLACK RIVER AT WATEBTOWN, N. T.

LOCATION. At Vanduzee Street Bridge in Watertown, Jefferson County. No 

important tributary enters river below this point.

DRAINAGE AREA. 1,890 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. July 18, 1920, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Gurley seven-day water-stage recorder installed September 3, 1921,. 

in concrete well and shelter on downstream side of right bridge abutment. 

Prior to that date, a vertical staff at same location and an inclined staff on. 

right bank about 150 feet below, were used. Recorder inspected by employee of Black River Regulating District.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable about 150 feet below gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel rocky and rough, control probably permanent..

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 9.45 feet 

(staff gage reading) at 6 p. m. April 13 (discharge, 26,200 second-feet); 

minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 0.64 foot at 1 a. m. September 5 

(discharge, 357 second-feet).

1920-1922: Maximum stage recorded, that of April 13, 1922; minimum 

stage, 0.46 foot at 8.40 a. m. September 7, 1920 (discharge, 284 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation probably not affected by ice.

REGULATION. Seasonal distribution of flow is regulated by Beaver River Flow,. 

Fulton Chain Lakes, Forestport reservoir, and other storage reservoirs in 

the upper part of the drainage basin. Some diurnal fluctuation at low stages 

due to mills and power plants above the station.

DIVERSIONS. Water is diverted from Black River into the Forestport feeder at 

Forestport. A part of this water returns to the river through various spillways and through the Black River canal (flowing north); the rest passes out 

of the drainage basin through the Black River canal (flowing south), the 

record at the station on Black River canal (flowing south) at Boonville 

indicates the amount of this diversion. See also "Regulation and diversions" in description of station on Black River near Boonville.
WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PAET IV

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent; probably not 

affected by ice during year. Rating curve well defined between 400 and 

25,000 second-feet. Operation pf water-stage recorder satisfactory except as 

indicated in footnote to daily-discharge table. Daily discharge ascertained 

by applying to rating table mean daily gage height determined by inspection 

of recorder graph, or for days of considerable fluctuation, by averaging 

discharge for intervals of day. Records good except for periods of estimate, 

for which they are fair.

NOTE. Discharge for the following periods when water-stage recorder did not operate satisfactorily, 

estimated from hydrograph and comparison with sum of records of Black River at Boonville, Moose River 

at Moose River, and Beaver River at State Dam: Dec. 25-31, Jan. 2-6,12-14, July 19-21, and Sept. 13-17. 

Mean daily gage height estimated Apr. 9, July 6, 7, 8, 14, Sept. 2, 3, and 8. Discharge, Apr. 12-29, determined from recorder graph corrected on basis of twice-daily readings of staff gage, because of partial 

obstruction of intake to gage well.

FOEESTPOET FEEDER NEAR BOONVIIIE, N. Y.

LOCATION. Slope station at lower end of feeder, above point where it enters basin 

at Boonville, Oneida County.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. Occasional discharge measurements 1900 and 1905 

1915; continuous record, October 30, 1915, to September 30, 1922.

GAGES. Two Gurley seven-day graph water-stage recorders, with natural scale 

for gage height. Gage No. 1 is at downstream end of left abutment of steel 

highway bridge in village of Hawkinsville; gage No. 2 is on left bank, just 

below a farm bridge about a mile above the basin at Boonville; they are 2.53 

miles apart. These gages and the two in the Black River canal (flowing 

south) near Boonville, are set to the same datum. Recorders inspected by 

Fred Kesauer.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from the steel highway bridge at gage No. 1 

in Hawkinsville.

DETERMINATION OF DISCHARGE. Daily discharge determined by use of Chezy 

formula. The coefficient, " C," computed from each current-meter measurement is plotted with reference to date of measurement. A smooth curve 

drawn through the plotted points shows the variations of " C" through the 

season, and coefficients for intervening days are taken off the curve. The 

other factors in the Chezy formula are obtained from gage-height records 

and cross-section of the canal.

DIVERSIONS. One spillway takes water from Forestport feeder just below gage 

No. 2 and a second spillway takes water from the basin in Boonville. Both 

discharge into Mill Creek, which enters Black River below the Boonville 

gaging station. No spillway between gage No. 1 and gage No. 2. Other 

spillways in the feeder above gage No. 1 discharge into Black River above the 

gaging station. Therefore, this station indicates the total amount of water 

diverted past the gaging station on Black River near Boonville, and the sum 

of this record and the record for Black River near Boonville indicates the 

total run-off of the Black River basin above these gaging stations.
98 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PART IV

REGULATION. Flow in the feeder is regulated at the outlet of Forestport reservoir.

JOE. There is usually little flow in the canal during the winter season. Water 

was observed in the canal several times during the winter of 1917-1918 and 

each succeeding winter, and occasional current-meter measurements of the 

discharge were made.

ACCURACY. Operation of water-stage recorders satisfactory except as indicated 

in footnote to daily-discharge table. Records good except when either 

recorder was out of commission, when estimates for missing gage heights 

were made from comparison with other recorder or from a study of the slope 

relation. Records for such periods, fair.

BLACK RIVER CANAL (FLOWING SOUTH) NEAR BOONVILLE, N. Y.

LOCATION. Slope station at summit level of Black River canal, near Boonville, 

Oneida County.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. Occasional discharge measurements 1900 and 1905-1915; 

continuous record, September 16, 1915, to September 30, 1922.

GAGES. Two Gurley seven-day graph water-stage recorders, 1.81 miles apart, 

with natural scale for gage heights. Gage No. 1 is on right bank (opposite 

towpath) about 50 feet downstream from collector's office in Boonville; 

gage No. 2 is on right bank (opposite towpath) about 300 yards above 

Lock 70 and 50 yards above spillway from the canal into Lansing Kill. 

These gages and the two gages in the Forestport feeder near Boonville are 

set to the same datum. Recorders inspected by Fred Kesauer.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from the steel and concrete highway bridge 

in the village of Boonville, a short distance below gage No. 1.

DETERMINATION OF DISCHARGE. Daily discharge determined by use of Chezy 

formula. The coefficient "C" computed from each current-meter measurement is plotted with reference to date of measurement. A smooth curve 

drawn through the plotted points shows the variation of "C" through the 

season, and the coefficients for intervening days are taken off the curve. 

The other factors in the Chezy formula are obtained from gage-height records and cross section of canal.

DIVERSIONS. No diversion between gage No. 1 and gage No. 2. Records obtained at this station indicate the quantity of water diverted for the canal 

from the Black River basin into the Mohawk River basin.

REGULATION. Flow in canal is regulated by operation of spillway and sluice 

gates at Lock 70 and also by discharge of Forestport feeder into the basin 

at Boonville.

ICE. No flow in canal during winter season.

ACCURACY. Operation of water-stage recorders satisfactory except as indicated 

in footnote to daily-discharge table. Records good, except when either 

recorder is out of commission, when estimates for missing gage heights are 

made from comparison with gage-height graph from other recorder or from 

a study of the slope relation. Records for such periods, fair.

MOOSE RIVER AT MOOSE BIVER, N. T.

LOCATION. In hamlet of Moose: Biver, Lewis County, 3 miles downstream from 

McKeever, 5 miles below mouth of South Branch of Moose River, and IS 

miles above junction of Black and Moose rivers at Lyons Falls.

DKAINAGE -AEEA. 370 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

EECOKDS AVAILABLE. June 5, 1900, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Staff in two sections on left bank a short distance above the cable; 

read by W. D. Rinkle. Gage datum was lowered 0.17 foot February 28, 

1903, and again 5.00 feet on January 1, 1913.

DISCHAEGE MEAStTBEMENTS. Made from a cable a short distance below gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTEOL. Cobblestones and boulders; fairly permanent. Current smooth; depth comparatively uniform. Ice and logs occasionally jam 

above the station on a small island.

EXTREMES OF DISCHAEGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, about 15.0 

feet during evening of June 22 (discharge, 11,600 second-feet); minimum 

stage, 5.29 feet at 8.45 a. m. September 28 (discharge, 101 second-feet).

1900-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 16.3 feet during the afternoon of 

March 27, 1913, determined by leveling from flood marks (discharge, about 

16,500,second-feet); minimum stage, 4.94 feet July 21, 23, 25, 26, and 27, 

1913 (discharge, about 42 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relatioi* affected by ice.

REGULATION. A timber dam at McKeever, 3 miles upstream, is used for power 

and for the regulation of flow during log driving. Seasonal distribution of 

flow affected by operation of the State dam at Old Forge. This regulation 

is indicated by the record for station on Middle Branch of Moose River at 

Old Forge.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except as affected 

by ice, December to March, and by logs, April to September. Rating curve 

well defined between 100 and 5,500 seconds-feet. Gage read to half-tenths 

once daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying to rating table mean 

daily gage height corrected, when necessary, for ice and log effect, as determined by discharge measurements. Records fair, except for period of 

ice effect and for low stages when one daily reading of gage may not indicate 

the correct mean daily gage height, owing to fluctuations in stage.

BEAVER RIVER AT STATE DAM, NEAR BEAVER RIVER, N. Y.

LOCATION. At concrete storage dam at outlet of Beaver River Flow, 7J^ riiles 

west of Beaver River post office, Herkimer County, and 7 miles a >ove 

Beaver Lake at Number Four.

DRAINAGE AREA. 176 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 11, 1908, to September 30, 1922.

GAGES. Elevation of water surface in the reservoir is determined by a staff ijage 

in two sections, on the west corner of the gate house; read by James Dun bar, 

gate tender. The mean elevation of the crest of the spillway is at jage 

height 16.96 feet. Width of sluice-gate openings determined by measuring 

on the gate stems the distance they have been raised.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Current-meter measurements made from a isemporary footbridge at mouth of outlet tunnel, below the gates. Discharge 

over the spillway has not been measured.

DETERMINATION OF DISCHARGE. Records include the discharge through one or 

more of four 4-foot circular sluice gates, when opened, the discharge over 

the spillway, and the discharge through the logway at the west end o: the 

spillway. The sluice gates have been rated by current-meter measurements 

made at different lake elevations, but no measurements have been mac e of 

the discharge over the spillway or through the logway. Theoretic coefficients on the Cornell experiments * have been used to compute ratings for 

the spillway and logway.

REGULATION. At ordinary stages the discharge of Beaver River is completely 

regulated by the operation of the sluice gates.

EXTREMES OF STAGE. Maximum elevation of water surface in reservoir recorded 

during year, 19.85 feet at 3.15 p. m. June 23; minimum elevation recorded, 

3.8 feet at 10.05 a. m., October 9.

1908-1922: Maximum elevation of water surface in reservoir, that of current year; minimum elevation, 2.9 feet September 29 and October 1, 1933.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. -Maximum daily discharge during year, 3,380 seoradfeet April 12; minimum discharge, 24 seeond-feet July 1-4.

1908-1922: Maximum discharge, that of current year; minimum discharge, zero, during periods when gates were closed and there was no low 

over spillway.

. S. Qeol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 200.
106 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PART IV

AcctrBACT. Stage-discharge relation permanent; probably not affected by ice. 

Rating curves for sluice gates well defined. Lake gage read to half-tenths 

.once daily. The accuracy of computations depends to a large extent on 

the care with which the gates were set to the recorded openings. Records 

fair.

No discharge measurements were made at this station during the year. '

BEAVER RIVER AT EAGLE FALLS, NEAR NUMBER FOUR, N. Y.

LOCATION. Just below Eagle Falls plant of Beaver River Power Corporation, 

2J^ miles from Beaver Lake, 4 miles north of Number Four, Lewis County, 

and 9 miles below State dam at outlet of Beaver River Flow.

DRAINAGE AREA. 230 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

HECORDS AVAILABLE. August 21, 1921, to September 30, 1922.

 GAGE. Gurley seven-day graph water-stage recorder installed October 10, 1921, 

in a concrete shelter on left bank 500 feet below power house; prior to 

October 10, temporary vertical staff gage at same location. Staff gage read 

and recorder inspected by employee of Beaver River Power Corporation.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable over tailrace and river channel, 

about 300 feet above gage or by wading.

 CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed of channel consists of boulders and large broken 

rock. Control is at the head of rapids about 50 feet below gage and is 

probably permanent.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stage recorder, 7.30 feet at 3.30 p. m. April 13 (discharge, 4,980 second-feet); minimum stage, 0.60 foot (staff gage reading) at 8 a. m. October 9 (discharge, 16 

second-feet).

1921-1922: Maximum and minimum stages recorded, same as given above.

JOE. Stage-discharge relation probably not affected by ice.

HEGULATION. Seasonal flow is regulated by storage in Beaver River Flow 9 

miles above. Diurnal flow regulated at dam at foot of Beaver Lake according to needs of power plant. Some regulation in other ponds and lakes in 

drainage area.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation probably permanent; not affected by ice 

during year. Rating curve fairly well defined between 10 and 3,500 secondfeet. Staff gage read to half-tenths twice daily. Operation of water-stage 

recorder satisfactory except as indicated in footnote to daily-discharge table. 

Daily discharge ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily gage 

height determined from two readings a day from staff gage or by inspection 

of recorder graph, or for days of considerable fluctuation, by averaging discharge for intervals of the day. Records good, except for period when staff 

gage was used and for estimated periods for which they are fair.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVEB

EAST BRANCH OF OSWEGATCHIE BIVEB AT NEWTON FAILS, N. T.

LOCATION. 600 feet below lower dam of Newton Falls Paper Co., in Newton 

Falls, St. Lawrence County, 4 miles above mouth of Little River and 10 miles 

below outlet of Cranberry Lake.

DRAINAGE AREA. 166 square miles (measured by engineers of New York State 

Conservation Commission).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 6, 1912, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Vertical staff on left bank, read by Henry Van Waldick. Datum lowered 

1.0 foot on July 28, 1920.

.DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Small boulders and rock; covered with waste from, 

pulp mill; practically permanent.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 6.68 feet 

at 6.20 p. m. April 18 (discharge, 1,920 second-feet); minimum stage reached 

nearly every Sunday in low-water period when paper mills shut down.

1912-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 6.1 feet (old datum) at 5.15 p. m. 

March 28, 1913 (discharge, 2,200 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice only for a short time during 

extremely cold weather.

REGULATION. Some diurnal fluctuation in flow caused by operation of paper 

mills. Seasonal flow largely controlled by storage at Cranberry Lake.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed presumably at time of high water 

in April; not affected by ice during year. Rating curve used before the 

change well defined between 20 and 1,200 second-feet; curve used after the 

change well defined between 40 and 1,000 second-feet. Gage read to tenths 

twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage 

height to rating table, except for days of great fluctuation due to closing 

down of power plant, when discharge is averaged for intervals of day, 

taking into account the discharge during periods when power plant was 

shut down. Records only fair as mean daily gage heights are obtained 

from only two readings and may be considerably in error on account of 

artificial regulation.

OSWEOATCHIE RIVER NEAR HEITVELTON, N. Y.

LOCATION. 2^ miles above Heuvelton, St. Lawrence County, 3 miles below 

Rensselaer Falls, and 7 miles above mouth of Indian River (outlet to Black 

Lake).

DRAINAGE AREA. 961 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. June 23, 1916, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Gurley seven-day graph water-stage recorder on the right bank, installed 

September 16, 1916, Prior to this date gage-height was determined by 

measuring the distance from a reference point to the water surface. Recorder inspected by G. B. Todd.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Solid rock.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stage 

recorder, 6.67 feet at 9 p. m. April 14 (discharge, 9,390 second-feet); minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 0.85 foot from 2 to 8 a. m. October 5 

(discharge, 292 second-feet).

1916-1922: Maximum stage from water-stage recorder, 7.6 feet from 9 to 

12 a. m. March 30, 1917 (discharge, 11,700 second-feet); minimum stage from 

water-stage recorder, 0.81 foot, 2 to 4 a. m. September 30, 1921 (discharge, 

274 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation slightly affected by ice.

REGULATION. Some diurnal fluctuation due to operation of mills at Rensselaer 

Falls and above. Seasonal flow regulated by storage in Cranberry Lake.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except as affected by ice from 

December to March. Rating curve well denned between 400 and 15,000 

second-feet. Operation of water-stage recorder satisfactory during the year, 

except as indicated in footnote to daily-discharge table. Daily discharge 

ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily gage height determined by 

inspection of recorder graph, or for days of considerable fluctuation, by 

averaging discharge for intervals of the day. Records good except for 

periods of ice effect and when gage did not operate for which they are fair.

NOTE. Mean discharge, Oct. 9-13, when gage did not operate estimated at 600 second-feet by comparison with records of East Branch of Oswegatehie River at Newton Falls and West Branch of 

Oswegatehie River near Harrisville. Mean daily gage-height estimated Nov. 13, 14, Dec. 25, Jan. 8, May 7, Sept. 10,14,15, 21, 22, and 23. Discharge Dec. 8, 21, 22, and Jan. 1 to Mar. 9 determined from 

:-gage-heights corrected for ice effect from three discharge measurements, study of weather records and 

?gage-height graph, and comparison with records of the East and West branches of Oswegatehie River.

112 SUBFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1923, PABT IV

WEST BRANCH OF OSWEGATCHIE EIVEE NEAE HAEEISVULE, N. Y.

LOCATION. At highway bridge near Geers Corners, 23^ miles downstream from 

Harrisville, Lewis County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 245 square miles (measured on topographic maps and map 

of New York issued by United States Geological Survey; scale, 1:500,000).

RECOBDS AVAILABLE. July 1, 1916, to September 30, 1922;

GAGE. Vertical staff in three sections on the right bank; section graduated from 

0.0 to 3.3 feet about 25 feet below bridge, and two sections graduated from 

3.3 to 10.1 feet on downstream side of bridge abutment. Read by Frank 

Osborne.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable 200 feet above gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Rocky and rough; probably permanent.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 7.6 feet at 

6 p. m. June 23 (discharge, about 4,220 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 

1.1 feet several times, September 6-9 and 25-30 (discharge, 40 second-feet). 

1916-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 8.1 feet at 6.30 a. m. and 6 p. m. 

March 28, 1917 (discharge, 4,880 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 

0.90 foot at 7 a. m. September 18, 20-24, 1921 (discharge, about 33 secondfeet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation only slightly affected by ice during extremely 

cold periods.

REGULATION. Operation of pulp mill at Harrisville causes some diurnal fluctuation.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed slightly at low-water end, presumably at time of high water in April; not affected by ice during year. 

Rating curve used before the change well defined between 50 and 4,000 

second-feet; curve used after the change fairly well defined between the same 

limits. Gage read to half-tenths twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained 

by applying mean daily gage height to rating table. Records good except 

those for low stages, which are only fair owing to effect of diurnal fluctuation.

114 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1922, PART IV

RAQUETTE RIVER AT PEERCEFIE1D, N. Y.

LOCATION. Half a mile below dam of International Paper Co. at Piercefieldf 

St. Lawrence County, and three-quarters of a mile above head of Black 

Rapids.

DBAINAGE AREA. 723 square miles (all but 16 square miles measured on topo- 

 graphic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 20, 1908, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Stevens water-stage recorder installed October 22, 1912, on left bank. 

Recorder inspected by employee of International Paper Co.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable three-quarters of a mile below 

gage just above Black Rapids.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel opposite gage is a deep pond with no perceptible velociiy. Control is at head of Black Rapids.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stage 

recorder, 11;82 feet from 6 to 8 p. m. April 17 (discharge, 7,580 secondfeet); minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 2.00 feet at 4 p. m. September 4 (discharge, 73 second-feet).

1908-1922: Maximum stage from water-stage recorder, that of April 

17, 1922; minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 0.85 foot at 11 a. m. 

September 2, 1913 (discharge, about 10 second-feet).

ICE. Rapids that form control rarely freeze, measurements made when the 

pond was covered with ice indicate that the stage-discharge relation was 

not affected.

REGULATION. Large diurnal fluctuation in flow caused by operation of paper 

mill during low and medium stages. Numerous lakes in upper part of 

drainage basin afford considerable storage, most of which is so controlled 

that the effect on the seasonal distribution of flow is large.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except as affected by logs on 

control from. October 1 to March 18. Rating curve well defined between 

50 and 7.000 second-feet. Operation of water-stage recorder satisfactory 

except as indicated in footnote to daily-discharge table. Daily discharge 

ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily gage-height determined 

by inspection of recorder graph, or for days of considerable fluctuation, 

by averaging discharge for intervals of the day. Mean daily discharge, 

October 1 to March 18, estimated on account of backwater from logs. 

Records good except for period of log effect for which they are fair.

COOPERATION. Water-stage recorder inspected by an employee of the International Paper Co.

ST. REGIS RIVER AT BRASHER CENTER, N. Y. .

LOCATION. Near steel highway bridge in Brasher Center, St. Lawrence County, 

5 miles downstream from Brasher Falls, 6^ miles below junction of East 

and West branches of St. Regis River, and 12 miles above mouth.

DRAINAGE ABEA. 621 square miles (measured on post-route map).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 22, 1910, to November 10, 1917, and January 1 

 1919, to September 30, 1922.

GAGES. Gurley seven-day graph water-stage recorder installed August 14, 1920, 

on left bank 600 feet above bridge. Datum same as that of staff gage with 

inclined and vertical sections used June 24, 1916, to August 14, 1920. A 

chain gage on downstream side of bridge, at independent datum, was used 

August 22, 1910, to June 23, 1916. Recorder inspected by Alfred Berry.

DISCHABGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable at the staff gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTBOL. Bed at cable composed of small boulders and coarse 

gravel; fairly permanent.

EXTBEMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stage 

recorder, about 10.2 feet (partially estimated) during afternoon of April 

12 (discharge, 7,530 second-feet); minimum stage from water-stage recorder 

5.78 feet at 3 a. m. October 3 (discharge, 162 second-feet).

1910-1922: Maximum stage recorded, 9.1 feet at 7 a. m. March 27, 1914 

(discharge, 16,200 second-feet); minimum stage, 5.25 feet at 5 p. m. August 

8, 1917 (discharge, about 34 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, except as affected 

by ice. Rating curve well defined between 200 and 6,000 second-feet. 

: Operation of water-stage recorder satisfactory except as indicated in footnote to daily-discharge table. Daily discharge ascertained by applying to 

rating table mean daily gage height determined by inspection of gage-height 

graph, or for days of considerable fluctuation, by averaging discharge for intervals of the day. Records good except for periods of ice effect and when 

gage did not operate for which they are fair.

STREAMS TRIBUTAEY TO ST. LAWRENCE BIVEB 119 

SARAHAC RIVER HEAR PLATTSBURG, N. Y.

LOCATION. At Indian Rapids power plant (formerly known as Lozier dam) 

of Plattsburg Gas & Electric Co., 6 miles above mouth of river at Plattsburg, 

Clinton County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 607 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. March 27, 1903,, to September 30, 1922.

GAGES. Gage showing elevation of water surface above intake to power plant 

is a Gurley seven-day graph water-stage recorder installed November 12, 

1919, in a shelter attached to retaining wall at power house on right side 

of river. Before that date the crest gage was a vertical staff on the angle 

of the wing wall at the end of the racks. Datum raised 0.76 foot August 

20, 1906. Tailrace gage, a vertical staff spiked to timber-work dike between 

tailrace and river and about 50 feet below power house. Records of kilowatt output are obtained by watt meter on switchboard at half hour intervals. Inclined staff gage at cable station, a quarter of a mile below dam. 

Gages and watt meters read by power-house operators.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable at head of Indian Rapids* 

a quarter of a mile below dam, or by wading under cable or in tailrace.

DISCHARGE RATING. Records include flow over concrete spillway 171.25 feet 

in crest length, a rating for which has been prepared by use of coefficients3 

derived from experiments made in the hydraulic laboratory of Cornel 

University on a model section of the dam; the discharge through two power 

imits equipped with 300 kilowatt generators which have been rated by 

current-meter measurements; and the discharge through two 5-foot waste 

gates when 6pen. Occasional observations are made on the inclined staff 

gage at the cable as a check on the ratings of the spillway and turbines.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum daily discharge during year, 5,900 secondfeet, April 11; minimum daily discharge, 122 second-feet, September 10. 

1908-1922: Maximum daily discharge recorded, 6,410 second-feet, April 

20, 1914; minimum daily discharge, 90 second-feet, September 28, 1914.

SPECIAL STUDY. A portable water-stage recorder was operated at the cable 

for a short period in July, 1914. Mean daily discharge computed from its 

record agreed very closely with mean daily discharge derived from powerplant ratings.

ICE. The crest of the spillway is kept free from ice so that the stage-dischafge 

relation is not affected.

REGULATION. The lakes and ponds on the main stream and tributaries above 

the station comprise a water-surface area of about 25.5 square miles. The 

actual storage afforded by these reservoirs has been largely increased by 

the State dam at lower Saranac Lake, the operation of which affects distribution of flow during the year.

ACCURACY. Discharge over the spillway ascertained by applying to rating 

table mean gage height for six-hour periods, as observed, or taken from 

water-stage recorder chart. Discharge through the turbines ascertained 

by applying to their ratings the mean kilowatt output and head for periods 

of run. Records fair.

COOPERATION. Gage-height records and watt meter readings furnished by 

Plattsburg Gas & Electric Co., Herbert A. Stutchbury, superintendent.

No discharge measurements were made at this station during the year.

WEST BRANCH OF AUSABLE RIVER NEAR NEWMAN, IT. Y.

LOCATION. On farm formerly owned by James Dudley, 4 miles northeast of 

Newman, Essex County, and 4 miles below Lake Placid.

DRAINAGE AREA. 116 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECOUPS AVAILABLE. June 7, 1916, to December 31, 1917, and July 15, 1919, 

to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Staff, in two sections, on the right bank; lower section, inclined, graduated from 1.0 to 6.5 feet; upper section, vertical, graduated from 6.55 to 

10.1 feet; read by Mrs. Ethel Fuller.

DISCHARGE MEASTJIIEMENTS. Made from cable 300 feet above gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Solid rock; permanent.
TRIBUTARY'--TO ST. LAWRENCE fffiVER

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year, 8.22jfeet at. 

7 a. m. April 12 (discharge, about 6,300 second-feet); minimum stage, 2.34 

feet several times during August and September (discharge, 31 second-feet). 

1916-17 and 1919-1922: Maximum open-water stage recorded, that of 

April 12, 1922; minimum stage, 1.60 feet at 7.30 p. m., September 13, 1920, 

caused by closing gates in dam (discharge, practically zero).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation usually affected by ice.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except as affected 

by ice. Rating curve fairly well defined between 30 and 1,000 second-feet; 

extended beyond these limits. Gage read to half-tenths twice daily. Daily 

discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage height to rating table. 

Records only fair, as mean daily gage height, determined from two gage 

readings, is subject to error owing to fluctuations in stage caused by opera^ 

tion of dams upstream.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER 127

WINOOSKI BIVER AT MONTPEUER, VT.

LOCATION. 1 mile downstream from Central Vermont Railway station in Montpelier, Washington County, three-eighths mile above mouth of Dog River, 

and 134 miles below mouth of North Branch.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 420 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 19, 1909, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Gurley seven-day water-stage recorder on right bank, installed July 4, 

1914; gage height referred to datum by means of a hook gage inside the 

well; an outside staff gage is used for auxiliary readings. Recorder inspected 

by L. D. Smith.

DISCHABGB MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel deep and fairly uniform in section at the gage. 

Control is formed by sharply defined rock outcrop about 500 feet below gage.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stage 

recorder, 14.77 feet at 6 a. m. April 12 (discharge, from extension of rating 

curve, 15,400 second-feet); minimum stage during year from water-stage 

recorder, 2.63 feet at 7 a. m. October 5 (discharge, from extension of rating 

curve, 9 second-feet).

1909-1922: Maximum stage determined by leveling from flood marks 

preserved on building near present gage, 17.31 feet, April 7, 1912 (discharge, 

20,200 second-feet); minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 2.58 feet 

September 30, 1921 (discharge, from extension of rating curve, 6 secondfeet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice. Discharge ascertained by means 

of gage heights, current-meter measurements, observer's notes, and climatic 

records.

REGULATION. Operation of power plants on main stream and tributaries above 

station cause diurnal fluctuations in stage.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except when affected 

by ice. Rating curve well defined between 30 and 7,500 second-feet. Operation of water-stage recorder satisfactory except for short periods indicated 

by footnote to daily-discharge table. Daily discharge December 23 to Aprfl 

30 determined by applying to rating table mean daily gage height corrected 

for effect of ice during winter; daily discharge during remainder of year 

ascertained by use of discharge integrator. Records good.

STBEAMS TRIBUTARY TO 3T. LAWBB2STCE BIVER

JAIL BBOOK AT EAST BAERE, VT.

LOCATION. At ruins of old dam one-fourth mile above highway bridge in village 

of East Barre, Washington County.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 38 square miles (approximate) including 13 square miles 

tributary to Orange Brook reservoir (see Diversions).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 14, 1920, to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Inclined staff on left bank; read by George J. Dobbs.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed covered with rocks and boulders. Control 

formed by rocks near gage; probably permanent.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year 8.38 feet at 

6 p. m. April 10 (discharge, by extension of rating curve, 1,350 second-feet); 

minimum stage, 2.65 feet at 4 p. m. August 23 and 4 p. m. September 11 

(discharge, 2.1 second-feet).

1920-1922: Maximum stage recorded, that of April 10, 1922; minimum 

stage, 2.45 feet September 11, 1921 (discharge, by extension of rating curve, 

0.5 second-foot).

ICE. Ice forms at gage, and on rocks at the control; discharge relation somewhat affected.

DIVERSIONS. Water is diverted from about 13 square miles tributary to Orange 

Brook reservoir, and used for municipal supply of Barre. No records 

available as to quantity diverted or amount wasted back into Jail Brook.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation probably permanent except when affected 

by ice. Rating curve well denned between 1 and 60 second-feet, and by 

measurements at 859 and 873 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths twice 

daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage height to 

rating table with corrections for effect of ice during winter. Records good.

MISSISQUOI RIVER NEAR EICHFORD, VT.

LocATioN.->-3 miles downstream from Richford, Franklin County, 3 miles 

below mouth of North Branch, and 2 miles above mouth of Trout River.

DRAINAGE AREA. 445 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 22, 1909, to December 3, 1910, and June 26, 1911, 

to September 30, 1922.

GAGE. Gurley water-stage recorder on left bank, one-fourth mile above highway 

bridge; inspected by Harry Jenne. Chain gage on highway bridge used 

from June 26, 1911, to July 31, 1915. From May 22, 1909, to December 3, 

1910, gage was just below plant of the Sweat-Comings Co. in Richford..

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from highway bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel deep, banks not subject to overflow; stream, 

bed composed of gravel, boulders and ledge rock. Control is sharply defined 

by rock outcrop about 100 feet below gage.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year from water-stage recorder, 12.16 feet at 2 a. m., April 12 (discharge, from extension of rating 

curve,' 9,510 second-feet); minimum stage, from water-stage recorder, 

1.96 feet at 4 p. m. October 1 (discharge, 22 second-feet, water held back by 

dams).

1911-1922: Maximum discharge about 10,200 second-feet on March 26r 

1913; minimum discharge about 8 second-feet on July 14, 1911 (water held 

back by dams).

ICE. Stage^discharge relation usually affected by ice, from December to March; 

discharge determined from gage heights corrected for effect of ice by means 

of current-meter measurements, observer's notes, and weather records.

REGULATION. Considerable daily fluctuation at low stages caused by operation 

of power plants at Richford. \

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except when affected 

by ice. Rating curve well defined below 6,000 second-feet. Operation of 

water-stage recorder generally satisfactory. Daily discharge ascertained 

by applying to rating table mean daily gage height determined by inspection 

of recorder sheets, with corrections for effect of ice during the winter, or 

for days having large variation in stage, by averaging discharge of twelve 

two-hour periods. Records good for open-water periods, and fair for the 

winter.

CLYDE BIVER AT WEST DERBY (NEWPORT), VT.

LOCATION. Just below plant of Newport Electric Light Co. at West Derby 

(Newport), Orleans County, 1 mile above mouth of river.

DBAINAGE ABBA. 150 square miles.

RECOBDS AVAILABLE. May 25, 1909, to September 30, 1919, and May 24, 1920, 

to September 30, 1922.

GAGES. Water-stage recorder on right bank; referenced to gage datum by a 

hook gage inside the well; chain gage fastened to tree is used for auxiliary 

readings. Recorder inspected by F. R. Sherwell.

DISCHARGE MEASTJBEMENT8.-*-Made by wading near gage or from highway 

bridge half a mile downstream.

CHANNEL AND CONTBOL. Stream bed rough and irregular; covered with boulders and ledge rock; fall of river rapid for some distance below gage.

EXTBEMES OF DiscHABGE. Maximum stage during year frx>m water-sta,ge 

recorder, 4.62 feet at 8 p. m. April 13 (discharge, from extension of rating 

curve, 2,350 second-feet); minimum discharge practically nil at various 

times when water was held back by dams.

1909-1922: High water of March 25-30, 1913, reached maximum stage 

of 5.8 feet, as determined from high-water marks (discharge, about 6,300 

second-feet); minimum discharge practically nil at various times when 

water was held back by dams.

ICE. River usually remains open at the control; stage-discharge relation seldom 

affected.

REGULATION. Mow at ordinary stages fully controlled by two dams at West 

Derby; distribution of flow affected also by several dams above West Derby. 

Seymour Lake and several small ponds in the basin afford a large amount of 

natural storage, but at the present time there is little, if any, artificial regulation at these ponds.

ACCUBACY. Stage-discharge relation subject to occasional changes. Individual 

current-meter measurements occasionally plot erratically, probably because 

of rough measuring section. Rating curve fairly well defined. Operation of 

water-stage recorder satisfactory except for periods indicated in footnote to 

daily-discharge table. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily 

gage height to rating table. Records good when water-stage recorder was 

in operation.
