About this gauge
USGS gauge 02207185 sits on No Business Creek and reads everything draining 10 square miles of the Upper Ocmulgee basin. Its datum sits 736 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2001, 25 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.

Water passing here goes on to Yellow River at Milstead, GA, Yellow River at Gees Mill Road, near Milstead, GA and Yellow River Rocky Plains Rd near Rocky Plains, GA.
