About this gauge

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 Pearl River near Lena, MS at 1,981 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 21% of the water measured there.
