About this gauge

USGS gauge 02329600 sits on the Little River and reads everything draining 305 square miles of the Lower Ochlockonee basin. Its datum sits essentially at sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1986, 41 years of it.

Where this gauge sits in the drainage

One gauged site sits upstream of here. The closest is Little River near Quincy, Fla, reading 237 square miles. This gauge adds the 68 square miles that drain in between. Downstream the next reading comes from Lake Talquin (At Center) at 1,690 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 18% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Ochlockonee River near Bloxham, Fla.

Normal flows here

The Little River runs a median of 150 cfs at this gauge across 41 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 329 cfs, and October the leanest at 90 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 30,300 cfs in 1995, and the lowest is 4.3 cfs in 2000.
