About this gauge

USGS gauge 02214590 sits on Big Indian Creek and reads everything draining 154 square miles of the Lower Ocmulgee basin. Its datum sits 229 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2010, 17 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 Ocmulgee River at US 341, at Hawkinsville, GA at 3,800 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 4% of the water measured there.
