About this gauge

USGS gauge 02338660 sits on the New River and reads everything draining 127 square miles of the Middle Chattahoochee-Lake Harding basin. Its datum sits 635 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1979, 47 years of it.

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 Chattahoochee River near Lagrange, GA at 3,010 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 4% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Chattahoochee River below West Point Dam, GA and Chattahoochee River at West Point, GA.

Normal flows here

The New River runs a median of 68 cfs at this gauge across 47 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 171 cfs, and September the leanest at 23 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 7,740 cfs in 1990, and the lowest is 0.0 cfs in 2016.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1979 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
