About this gauge

USGS gauge 02203603 sits on the South River and reads everything draining 2.4 square miles of the Upper Ocmulgee basin. Its datum sits 847 feet above sea level NAVD88.

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 River at Forrest Park Road, at Atlanta, GA at 22 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 11% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to South River at Bouldercrest Road at Atlanta, GA, South River at Flakes Mill Road near Atlanta, GA and South River at Klondike Road, near Lithonia, GA.
