About this gauge
USGS gauge 02458148 sits on Village Creek and reads everything draining 4.1 square miles of the Locust basin. Its datum sits 642 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1999, 20 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 Village Creek at East Lake in Birmingham, AL at 4.8 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 85% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Village Creek at Avenue W at Ensley, AL, Village Creek near Pratt City, Alabama and Village Creek near Docena, Alabama.
