About this gauge

USGS gauge 03310000 sits on the North Fork Nolin River and reads everything draining 38 square miles of the Upper Green basin. Its datum sits 693 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2011, 15 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 Nolin River at White Mills, KY at 360 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 11% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here
