About this gauge

USGS gauge 03431100 sits on the West Fork Browns C and reads everything draining 1.5 square miles of the Lower Cumberland-Sycamore basin. Its datum sits 544 feet above sea level NAVD88.

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 Browns Creek at State Fairgrounds at Nashville, TN at 12 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 13% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Cumberland River at Nashville, TN, Cumberland River near Bordeaux, TN and Cumberland River at Briley Pkwy at Cockrill Bend.

Flood stages and record crests

The West Fork Browns C reaches flood stage at this gauge at 9 feet. NWS starts watching it at 7 feet. The highest crest on record is 9.8 feet, in August 2017.
