Where this gauge sits in the drainage

One gauged site sits upstream of here. The closest is Buffalo Creek below Lake at Carrollton, GA, reading 5.1 square miles. This gauge adds the 21 square miles that drain in between. Downstream the next reading comes from South River at GA 81, at Snapping Shoals, GA at 468 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 6% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Ocmulgee River near Jackson, GA. It then enters Jackson Lake Lloyd Shoals near Jackson, GA, below which releases set the flow.
