About this gauge

USGS gauge 02213500 sits on Tobesofkee Creek and reads everything draining 182 square miles of the Upper Ocmulgee basin. Its datum sits 310 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow is on record here from 1937 to 2024, 87 years in all.

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 Ocmulgee River at GA 96, near Bonaire, GA at 3,350 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 5% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

Tobesofkee Creek runs a median of 78 cfs at this gauge across 87 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 216 cfs, and September the leanest at 33 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 13,000 cfs in 1994, and the lowest is 0.7 cfs in 2017.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1937 to 2024. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median. USGS stopped publishing a daily flow record at this gauge, so these are historical norms, not a baseline for current readings.

Flood stages and record crests

Tobesofkee Creek reaches flood stage at this gauge at 20 feet. NWS starts watching it at 17 feet. The highest crest on record is 39.5 feet, in July 1994.
