About this gauge

USGS gauge 03431083 sits on Mill Creek and reads everything draining 107 square miles of the Lower Cumberland-Sycamore basin.

Where this gauge sits in the drainage

Two gauged sites sit upstream of here. The closest is Mill Creek at Thompson Lane, near Woodbine, TN, reading 93 square miles. This gauge adds the 14 square miles that drain in between. Downstream the next reading comes from Cumberland River at Omohundro Wtr Plt at Nashville, TN at 12,819 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 1% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Cumberland River at Nashville, TN, Cumberland River near Bordeaux, TN and Cumberland River at Briley Pkwy at Cockrill Bend. It then enters Cheatham Reservoir near Ashland City, TN, below which releases set the flow.
