About this gauge
USGS gauge 02405500 sits on Kelly Creek and reads everything draining 193 square miles of the Middle Coosa basin. Its datum sits 404 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1952, 59 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 Coosa River at Childersburg AL at 8,392 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 2% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Coosa River at Gaston Steam Plant near Wilsonville.
