About this gauge

USGS gauge 02479980 sits on Crooked Creek and reads everything draining 8.1 square miles of the Escatawpa basin. Its datum sits 115 feet above sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1990, 36 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 Jb Converse Reservoir near Spillway near Semmes, Ala at 105 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 8% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Escatawpa River at I-10 near Orange Grove, MS.
