Abstract

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS), has been collecting streamflow information on the Current River and one of its tributaries, the Jacks Fork, for 78 years. Both rivers are located in south-central Missouri in an area with large springs, streams, caves, and rugged countryside. Outdoor activities, such as camping, floating, fishing, hunting, and hiking, are numerous. Part of both the Jacks Fork and the Current River are in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR), which is administrated by the NPS. The Jacks Fork and Current River were the Nation’s first congressionally designated scenic riverways.
