About this gauge

USGS gauge 02385170 sits on Coahulla Creek and reads everything draining 176 square miles of the Conasauga basin. Its datum sits 645 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2005, 22 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 Conasauga River at Tilton, GA at 687 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 26% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Conasauga River at Sloan Bridge, below Dalton, GA, Oostanaula River at Resaca, GA and Oostanaula River at Calhoun, GA.

Normal flows here

Coahulla Creek runs a median of 101 cfs at this gauge across 22 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 289 cfs, and September the leanest at 49 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 7,420 cfs in 2013, and the lowest is 3.0 cfs in 2007.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 2005 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
