About this gauge
USGS gauge 02335350 sits on Crooked Creek and reads everything draining 8.9 square miles of the Upper Chattahoochee basin. Its datum sits 870 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2001, 25 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 Chattahoochee River above Roswell, GA at 1,220 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 1% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Chattahoochee River below Morgan Falls Dam, GA, Chatt River at Powers Fy and I-285 near Atlanta, GA and Chattahoochee River at US 41, at Atlanta, GA.
