About this gauge
USGS gauge 02465493 sits on Elliotts Creek and reads everything draining 32 square miles of the Lower Black Warrior basin. Its datum sits 148 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1977, 50 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 Black Warrior River at Selden L & D near Eutaw, AL at 5,810 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 1% of the water measured there.
