About this gauge

USGS gauge 02336526 sits on Proctor Creek and reads everything draining 13 square miles of the Middle Chattahoochee-Lake Harding basin. Its datum sits 759 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2003, 24 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 Fairburn, GA at 2,060 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 1% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Chattahoochee River above Bear Creek, near Rico, GA and Chattahoochee River near Whitesburg, GA.

Normal flows here

Proctor Creek runs a median of 6.5 cfs at this gauge across 24 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 9.7 cfs, and October the leanest at 4.0 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 1,900 cfs in 2009, and the lowest is 0.7 cfs in 2012.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 2003 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
