Description

At our listed put-in drainage area is about 118 square miles (per former USGS gauge site). At our listed take-out it is 121 square miles (as calculated by USGS StreamStats 4.0 Beta software). That is an increase of only ~3%.

Our reference gauge (Prairie River) has drainage of 184 square miles, so flow on this run *could* be ~0.641 times (or a bit more than 5/8ths) that gauge.
