LOCATION.--Lat 38°20'08", long 106°46'18", in SW14NE14 sec.17, T.47 N., R.2 E. Saguache County, Hydrologic Unit 14020003, on left bank 0.75 mi downstream from Rock Creek and 12 mi south of Parlin.
DRAINAGE AREA.--334 mi2.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--October 1981 to current year. For a complete listing of historical data available for this site, see http://waterdata.usgs.gov/co/nwis/inventory/?site_no=09118450
GAGE.--Water-stage recorder with satellite telemetry and crest-stage gage. Elevation of gage is 8,470 ft above NGVD of 1929, from topographic map.
REMARKS.--Records good except for estimated daily discharges, which are poor. Diversions for irrigation of hay meadows upstream from station. Transmountain diversion by Tarbell ditch exports water upstream from station to Saguache Creek, since 1913. Several measurements of specific conductance and water temperature were obtained and are published in the "Supplemental Water-Quality Data For Gaging Stations" section of this report.
Discharge, cubic feet per second
