About this gauge

USGS gauge 023362095 sits on the Burnt Fork Creek and reads everything draining 3.3 square miles of the Upper Chattahoochee basin. Its datum sits 935 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2012, 14 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 S.f Peachtree Creek Johnson Rd, near Atlanta, GA at 28 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 12% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Peachtree Creek at Atlanta, GA, Chattahoochee River at GA 280, near Atlanta, GA and Chattahoochee River near Fairburn, GA.
