About this gauge

USGS gauge 02132500 sits on the Little Pee Dee River and reads everything draining 524 square miles of the Little Pee Dee basin. Its datum sits 74 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow is on record here from 1939 to 1971, 32 years in all.

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 Pee Dee River at Galivants Ferry, SC at 2,790 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 19% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

The Little Pee Dee River runs a median of 345 cfs at this gauge across 32 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 873 cfs, and June the leanest at 232 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 9,810 cfs in 1945, and the lowest is 24 cfs in 1954.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1939 to 1971. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median. USGS stopped publishing a daily flow record at this gauge, so these are historical norms, not a baseline for current readings.

Flood stages and record crests
