About this gauge

USGS gauge 03207965 sits on Grapevine Creek and reads everything draining 6.2 square miles of the Upper Levisa basin. Its datum sits 797 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow is on record here from 1974 to 2020, 37 years in all.

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 Levisa Fork below Fishtrap Dam near Millard, KY at 392 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 2% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Levisa Fork at Pikeville, KY.

Normal flows here

Grapevine Creek runs a median of 3.1 cfs at this gauge across 37 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 9.2 cfs, and October the leanest at 1.6 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 448 cfs in 1977, and the lowest is 0.0 cfs in 1982.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1974 to 2020. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median. USGS stopped publishing a daily flow record at this gauge, so these are historical norms, not a baseline for current readings.
