About this gauge

USGS gauge 02329500 sits on the Little River and reads everything draining 237 square miles of the Lower Ochlockonee basin. Its datum sits 83 feet above sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1950, 55 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 Midway, Fla at 305 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 78% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Ochlockonee River near Bloxham, Fla. It then enters Lake Talquin (At Center), below which releases set the flow.

Normal flows here

The Little River runs a median of 124 cfs at this gauge across 55 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 308 cfs, and October the leanest at 63 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 35,500 cfs in 1969, and the lowest is 7.5 cfs in 1969.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1950 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.

Flood stages and record crests

The Little River reaches flood stage at this gauge at 14 feet. NWS starts watching it at 11.5 feet. The highest crest on record is 24.6 feet, in September 1969.
