About this gauge

USGS gauge 01671100 sits on the Little River and reads everything draining 107 square miles of the Pamunkey basin. Its datum sits 131 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1962, 63 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 Pamunkey River near Hanover, VA at 1,078 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 10% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

The Little River runs a median of 48 cfs at this gauge across 63 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 105 cfs, and September the leanest at 8.1 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 9,800 cfs in 1969, and the lowest is 0.1 cfs in 2002.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1962 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
