Where this gauge sits in the drainage

Three gauged sites sit upstream of here. The closest is Nancy Creek at Lake Forest Road, at Atlanta, GA, reading 28 square miles. This gauge adds the 9.5 square miles that drain in between. Downstream the next reading comes from Chattahoochee River at GA 280, near Atlanta, GA at 1,590 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 2% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Chattahoochee River near Fairburn, GA, Chattahoochee River above Bear Creek, near Rico, GA and Chattahoochee River near Whitesburg, GA.
