About this gauge

USGS gauge 07031692 sits on Fletcher Creek and reads everything draining 30 square miles of the Wolf basin. Its datum sits 230 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1996, 30 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 Wolf River at Hollywood St at Memphis, TN at 788 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 4% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Mississippi River at Memphis, TN.
