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 Muckalee Creek at GA 195, near Leesburg, GA at 362 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 39% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Flint River at Albany, GA.
