About this gauge

USGS gauge 02077200 sits on Hyco Creek and reads everything draining 46 square miles of the Lower Dan basin. Its datum sits 399 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1964, 62 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 Hyco Lake at Dam near Roxboro, NC at 189 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 24% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Hyco River below Abay D near Mcgehees Mill, NC.
