About this gauge

USGS gauge 02303205 sits on Baker Creek and reads everything draining 27 square miles of the Hillsborough basin. Its datum sits 42 feet above sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1993, 32 years of it.

Where this gauge sits in the drainage

No gauged site sits above this one on the mainstem, so this is the first published reading on the river. Downstream the next reading comes from Lake Thonotassa (At Center) at 60 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 46% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Hillsborough River at Morris Br near Thonotosassa FL, Hillsborough River near Tampa FL and Hillsborough River at Fowler Av near Temple Terrace FL.
