About this gauge

USGS gauge 02353400 sits on Pachitla Creek and reads everything draining 181 square miles of the Ichawaynochaway basin. Its datum sits 213 feet above sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1959, 50 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 Ichawaynochaway Creek at Milford, GA at 620 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 29% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Ichawaynochaway Creek near Elmodel, GA, Ichawaynochaway Creek below Newton, GA and Flint River at Riverview Plantation, near Hopeful,ga.
