About this gauge

USGS gauge 02297100 sits on Joshua Creek and reads everything draining 132 square miles of the Peace basin. Its datum sits 4 feet above sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1951, 75 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 Peace River near Peace River Heights near Ft Ogden FL at 1,780 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 7% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Peace River at Harbour Heights FL.
