About this gauge
USGS gauge 02442500 sits on Luxapallila Creek and reads everything draining 247 square miles of the Luxapallila basin. Its datum sits 244 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow is on record here from 1954 to 2012, 21 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 Luxapallila Creek near Columbus, MS at 715 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 35% of the water measured there.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1954 to 2012. 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.
