About this gauge

USGS gauge 07032200 sits on Nonconnah Creek and reads everything draining 68 square miles of the Horn Lake-Nonconnah basin. Its datum sits 263 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow is on record here from 1970 to 2022, 50 years in all.

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 Nonconnah Creek at Farrisview Rd at Memphis, TN at 136 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 50% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

Nonconnah Creek runs a median of 7.3 cfs at this gauge across 50 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 25 cfs, and October the leanest at 1.7 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 12,000 cfs in 2011, and the lowest is 0.0 cfs in 1988.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1970 to 2022. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median. USGS stopped publishing a daily flow record at this gauge, so these are historical norms, not a baseline for current readings.

Flood stages and record crests

Nonconnah Creek reaches flood stage at this gauge at 23 feet. NWS starts watching it at 16 feet. The highest crest on record is 28 feet, in June 2019.
