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 South Fork Edisto River near Denmark, SC at 720 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 3% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to South Fork Edisto River near Cope, SC and South Fork Edisto River near Bamberg, SC.
