Description

Drainage area at our listed put-in (on Poplar Creek) is approximately 166 sq.mi. (as calculated via USGS StreamStats Beta software).

At the confluence with the Black, the combined drainage is 514 square miles whereas drainage at the gauge is 749 square miles, thus (on average) one might anticipate flows here to be about 2/3rds the gauge reading.

At the Lone Road / Greenwood Park take-out drainage area has edged up to 524 square miles.
