Where this gauge sits in the drainage

One gauged site sits upstream of here. The closest is Duck River near Shady Grove, TN, reading 1,705 square miles. This gauge adds the 343 square miles that drain in between. Downstream the next reading comes from Duck River above Hurricane Mills, TN at 2,557 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 80% of the water measured there.
