About this gauge

USGS gauge 02099000 sits on the East Fork Deep River and reads everything draining 15 square miles of the Deep basin. Its datum sits 759 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1929, 94 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 Deep River at Ramseur, NC at 349 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 4% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

The East Fork Deep River runs a median of 6.8 cfs at this gauge across 94 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 12 cfs, and September the leanest at 4.3 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 1,670 cfs in 1947, and the lowest is 0.2 cfs in 2008.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1929 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
