Description

Being 7.5 miles due west of the put-in for Elkhorn Creek, one might reasonably expect flows here to have some rough relationship to the gauge there.

Drainage area near our put-in is about 101 square miles (after South Benson Creek contributes its flow), whereas the USGS gauge on Elkhorn Creek lists a contributing area of 402.4 square miles, so flow here could be roughly 1/4th flow on that gauge. (Correlation is not assured.)
