About this gauge
USGS gauge 02349900 sits on Turkey Creek and reads everything draining 48 square miles of the Middle Flint basin. Its datum sits 284 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1958, 68 years of it.
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 Flint River at GA 32, near Oakfield, GA at 3,880 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 1% of the water measured there.
