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 Reedy River above Fork Shoals, SC at 110 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 44% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Reedy River near Waterloo, SC.
