About this gauge

USGS gauge 0210382325 sits on Cross Creek and reads everything draining 26 square miles of the Upper Cape Fear basin. Its datum sits 82 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2021, 5 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 Cape Fear River at Fayetteville, NC at 4,395 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 1% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Cape Fear River at Wilm O Huske Lock near Tarheel, NC.
