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.

Water passing here goes on to Santa Fe River at US Hwy 441 near High Springs,fl, Santa Fe River near Fort White, Fla and Santa Fe River near Hildreth Fla.
