About this gauge

USGS gauge 02329342 sits on Little Attapulgus Creek and reads everything draining 17 square miles of the Lower Ochlockonee basin. Its datum sits 155 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1992, 34 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 Little River near Quincy, Fla at 237 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 7% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Little River near Midway, Fla and Ochlockonee River near Bloxham, Fla. It then enters Lake Talquin (At Center), below which releases set the flow.

Normal flows here

Little Attapulgus Creek runs a median of 9.4 cfs at this gauge across 34 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 16 cfs, and October the leanest at 7.3 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 122 cfs in 2013, and the lowest is 0.2 cfs in 2000.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1992 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
