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 Enoree River at Pelham, SC at 84 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 11% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Enoree River near Woodruff, SC.
