About this gauge

USGS gauge 03414170 sits on Marrowbone Creek and reads everything draining 68 square miles of the Upper Cumberland-Lake Cumberland basin. Its datum sits 547 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow is on record here from 2022 to 2024, 3 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 Cumberland River at Celina, TN at 7,307 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 1% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

Marrowbone Creek runs a median of 20 cfs at this gauge across 3 years of record. January is the fullest month at a median 101 cfs, and October the leanest at 0.3 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 3,760 cfs in 2022, and the lowest is 0.0 cfs in 2023.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 2022 to 2024. 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.
