About this gauge

USGS gauge 02455980 sits on Turkey Creek and reads everything draining 27 square miles of the Locust basin. Its datum sits 502 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1988, 38 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 Turkey Creek at Morris AL at 81 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 34% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Locust Fork at Sayre, AL.
