upstream from Oakley Dam, 7 mi southwest of Oakley, and at mile 3.0.

DRAINAGE AREA.--53.7 mi2. Mean elevation, 6,360 ft.

PERIOD OF RECORD.--May 1911 to September 1916, March 1919 to current year. 
Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1317.

REVISED RECORDS.--WSP l063: 1941, 1943. WSP 1567: Drainage area.

GAGE.--Elevation of gage is 4,820 ft above NGVD of 1929, by barometer. Prior to 
Sept. 1, 1912, water-stage recorder at approximately present site at different 
datum. Apr. 8, 1913 to Sept. 30, 1916, and Mar. 28, 1919 to Aug. 15, 1931, at

Aug. 17, 1941, gage height, 6.99 ft, during cloudburst, from rating curve 
extended above 100 ft3/s on basis of velocity-area studies and peak flow 
over weir (a higher flow may have occurred during cloudburst Aug. 15, 1931); 
maximum gage height, 8.64 ft, Jan. 31, 1995, affected by backwater from beaver dam;
