Where this gauge sits in the drainage

One gauged site sits upstream of here. The closest is Chewacla Creek at Chewacla State Park near Auburn, reading 46 square miles. This gauge adds the 287 square miles that drain in between. Downstream the next reading comes from Tallapoosa River at Milstead AL at 3,771 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 9% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Tallapoosa River near Mont.-Mont Water Works.
