It is the purpose of this publication to present in a single volume the large amount of data relatmg to the flow and power of Georgia streams resulting from the work of the water resources branch of the United States Geological Survey, which was begun in the year 1895. These data consist essentially of gage heights and discharge measure- ments that can be used to show the contmuous daily flow of the streams, and of certain river profiles, in the form of tabulated eleva- tions of water surface at points along the river, that can be used to estimate the available fall at any place. The amount of water flowing in the stream and the fall which can be used will determine the amount of power which can be developed. A quick formula to p 11 Flow in sec. -ft.

A systematic study of the water powers of the State requires a knowledge of the drainage systems, which are somewhat intricate. The topography of the State is peculiar. Chattahoochee Ridge, which runs from the northeast corner of the State in a southwesterly and southerly direction through Gainesville, Atlanta, GriiRn, Fort Valley, Fitzgerald, and through the Okefenoke Swamp to the Florida line, divides the waters of the Atlantic Ocean from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and forms the backbone of the State. The great drainage basins on the Atlantic slope are the Savannah, the Ogeechee, the Altamaha, the Satilla, and the St. Marys. Those draining into the Gulf are the Suwanee basin, including Suwanee River and trib- utaries; the Ochlockonee basin, emptying into Ochlockonee Bay; the Apalachicola basin, including Chattahoochee and Flint rivers, emptying at Apalachicola, Fla.; the Mobile basin, or Coosa River 7 8 ' WATER RESOUECES OF GEORGIA. ^ system, draining to Mobile, Ala.; and the Tennessee basin, including Hiwassee, Nottely, and Toccoa (Okoee) rivers, wliich flow through Tennessee and Mississippi rivers, emptying into the Gulf at New Orleans. The last basin is cut off from all the others by the Blue Ridge Mountains, which run across the northern end of the State. Some idea of the diversity of drainage may be had from the statement that there are three springs in northeast Georgia within a stone's throw of each other that send out their waters to Savannah, Ga., to Apalachicola, Fla., and to New Orleans, La. The streams of the Savannah, Altamaha, Apalachicola, Mobile, and Tennessee basins begin in, and have a large part of their terri- tory lying in, the crystalline or granitic region, which is all that part of the State lying north of the southern fall line, and east of the west- ern fall line. The streams of these dramage basins rise at elevations from 900 to 2,000 feet above sea level and flow along the high Pied- mont Plateau in a succession of cascades until they come to the fall line, where they take their last leap from the granitic bed rock to the navigable waters of the younger geologic formations. The southern fall line passes through Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon, and Columbus, and marks the ancient Atlantic coast line and the present division between the crystalline and Cretaceous geologic for- mations. Along this line, which is practically parallel to the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Cretaceous lies unconformably upon gneiss, the surface of which slopes toward the sea at a steep angle, and gives unmistakable evidence of having formed at one time a barren rocky seacoast similar to that of Massachusetts. The western fall line passes through Carters on Coosawattee River and Cartersville on Etowah River and marks the ancient coast line of the Gulf of Mexico or Paleozoic Sea and the present division between the crystalline and Paleozoic geologic formations. The conditions along this fall line have no similarity to those along the southern fall line. The formations, both crystalline and Paleozoic, have been wrinkled, folded, and faulted by lateral pressure to such an extent that no contact slope exists between the two formations along which percolation could take place. Etowah River below Carters- ville shows a hard blue limestone bed rock, out of which many bold springs flow into the river, and while the best shoal on the river is at Cartersville in the crystalline bed rock just above the fall line, the river is a series of shoals all the way down to Rome, where it unites with the navigable Oostanaula to form Coosa River. The western fall line crosses the Coosawattee in Murray County at Carters, which is the head of navigation. The country along the Coosawattee below Carters is mainly a pervious shale that drinks up most of the smaller streams in driest weather. Although very large limestone springs having a good ' flow at all seasons abound, yet TOPOGEAPHY AND GEOLOGY. 9 during long dry spells the streams from most of them become smaller and smaller as the distance from the fountain head increases, and finally soak into the ground and disappear. From the foregoing discussion it will be seen that the largest and most important water powers of the State are in the crystalline area north of the southern fall line and east of the western fall line. It will be convenient, therefore, in this discussion to divide the State hydrographically into three areas: (1) The crystalline area in middle and northeastern Georgia as above defined; (2) the Paleozoic area in northwest Georgia, and (3) the coastal plain lying south of the southern fall line and embracing more than half the State. THE CRYSTALLINE AREA. The crystalline area embraces the Blue Ridge Mountain region, with elevations from 1,000 to 4,800 feet above sea level, and the Pied- mont Plateau, with elevations from 600 to 1,600 feet above sea level. The rivers of the Piedmont Plateau in this region rise at very high altitudes and flow over granite, gneiss, etc., with precipitous falls in successions of shoals and eddies, between high hills, affording excellent sites for dams and canals, and are peculiarly adapted to the development of high-head water powers, with a good and con- stant water supply. The following table shows the fall on the main rivers that cross the fall lines in the State: Fall on Georgia rivers. River. Fall. Savannah, above Augusta Oconee, above Milledgeville. . . . . .

The upper sec- tions of these streams and of their tributaries are even more precipi- tous. Some shoals on tributaries are as follows: Broad River, 63 feet in 2 miles. Tallulah River, 525 feet in 2§ miles. Towaliga River, 96 feet in 1,200 feet. Neither the rivers nor their tributaries have any regularity in fall; it is concentrated in shoals over hard ledges of granite or gneiss, with long stretches of gentle flow between. These streams will be consid- ered in detail in the body of this report, and each shoal of importance will be mentioned. 10 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. THE PALEOZOIC AREA. The Paleozoic area lies from 400 to 1,000 feet above sea level. The only river in it with much fall is the Etowah, which at Cartersville crosses the fall line from crystalline bed rock to limestone. Between this point and Rome the shoals are caused by harder limestone ledges, the total fall being 109 feet in 46 miles. The tributaries of this river, together with those of the Conasauga, Oostanaula, Coosa, and Ten- nessee, furnish a large number of small water powers that are valuable for local enterprises, as they are mainly in rich agricultural districts. The entire area abounds also in large springs that can be relied on to furnish a pure and unfailing water supply for inunicipal and industrial purposes. THE COASTAL PLAIN. The elevation of the Coastal Plain varies from tide water up to 500 feet above sea level. The large rivers from the crystalline belt cross the southern fall line into this area at the following elevations above sea level : Elevation of rivers at southern fall line. Feet.

The Savannah and Chattahoochee have regular steam- boat lines to these points, but the Oconee and Ocmulgee will require considerable Government work before they can be navigated to Mil- ledgeville and Macon, respectively. Flint River is shoaly all the way to Albany. It is the only one of these rivers that can be counted on for any water power in this area, but on smaller streams there are hundreds of good powers well distributed, many of which are already developed for local uses. This part of Georgia is developing more rapidly as an agricultural and fruit-raising region than is any other part of the State. Its pine forests are still a great source of wealth, but land that has yielded its full crop of turpentine and timber is proving more valuable for cotton, corn, watermelons, cantaloupes, pecans, pears, peaches, garden vege- tables, and Georgia cane sirup. The climate is mild and healthful, the streams are bold and constant, and the supply of artesian water is abundant and of the best quality. INTRODUCTION* 11 USES OF WATER. IRRIGATION. In the arid region of the Western States, where the rainfall is not sufficient or is not properly distributed through the year for making crops, the most important use of water is for irrigation. In Georgia and other Southern and Eastern States the rainfall is much greater and more evenly distributed tlirough the year, but, nevertheless, the lack of rain at the proper time often cuts a crop to one-half or one- third what it would have been with one additional wetting, at the time most needed. Thus a small amount of water in storage and ready for use will do more good in the East, where it has the help of frequent rains through a large part of the crop season, than will a much greater amount of water in the arid West, where artificial hri- gation must be depended on exclusively. Market gardening is one of the most attractive and most profitable agricultural pursuits in the South, but irrigation is almost a necessity for making the business a safe one. In any event, it can be relied on to double the yield of one crop and to enable the gardener to make from two to three crops on the same land in the same year. In Geor- gia the gardening season is ordinarily from February to July, but with irrigation it can be extended to November and even later. In Florida the gardening season is in winter, from November to April. This is the dry season, but the planters irrigate from flowing artesian wells and sliip celery, lettuce, and other vegetables all winter. This system is being rapidly introduced in southern Georgia. Artesian wells are the ideal source of water for individual irrigation plants where they can be had at small expense and where the supply is sufficient. Gravity systems by means of storage dams and canals are more extensive in their application and are practicable on the lowlands of river and creek valleys having adjacent hill country from which tribu- taries flow at a higher elevation. These tributaries can be impounded by large storage dams, and small canals can be cut along the liillsides near the foot of the liills to furnish water for irrigating the lowlands. A small stream, properly stored, can be made to irrigate a large area in this way, as one good wetting at the proper time is all that a crop is likely to need. Hydraulic rams, which are now manufactured of large capacity, can be relied on for pumping water to any desired elevation for irri- gating high lands. Some plants of this kind are now in use in Geor- gia and are giving good results. The water is pumped up by the ram into a large reservoir excavated on a clay hill or made by a dam in a high ravine. The water thus accumulated for months is held until needed and is run through open ditches onto the fields below the 12 WATER RESOURCES OP GEORGIA. reservoir level. A small stream having a flow of 80 gallons a minute and a fall of 20 feet will operate a ram that will pump 15,000 gallons a day to a height of 100 feet above the ram. This amount of water, stored as suggested, will furnish all necessary irrigation to 10 or 12 acres in this vState. A ram of tliis size takes its water tlirough a 4-inch drive pipe. Rams are made in all sizes, from a 1-inch ram using 3 gallons a minute to a duplex 12-inch ram using two 12-inch drive pipes and a water supply of 1,500 gallons a minute. One of the latter placed on a stream having a flow of 1,500 gallons a minute, which is a very small creek, will utilize a shoal of 20 feet and pump 288,000 gallons a day to a height of 100 feet above the ram. Such creeks are found in all parts of the crystalline region and are plentiful in the liilly parts of the Paleozoic area and of the Coastal Plain. Any amount of fall from 4 feet up to 40 feet can be utilized, the amount of water pumped being directly as the drive head and inversely as the lift. These improved rams open up great possibilities for cheap water supplj^. Their first cost is very moderate, and they pump by water power, requiring no attendant. Near the coast, where the streams have very little fall, the agri- cultural lands are on a low level, from 5 to 15 feet above the streams, and the supply of pine wood for fuel is abundant. Under these con- ditions centrifugal steam pumps can be run very economically to give abundant water for irrigation. USE OF WATER FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSES AND MUNICIPAL SUPPLY. Pure drinking water is abundant in all parts of the State. In north and middle Georgia it is obtained from wells, springs, and pure streams. Farther south the best supply is from artesian wells. Most of the large cities of north and middle Georgia get their supply from rivers. Atlanta uses filtered water from the Chattahoochee; Augusta from the Savannah; Macon from the Ocmulgee, and other cities of the region from rivers or local creeks. Savannah, Albany^ Americus, Thomasville, Dublin, and other south Georgia munic- ipalities get their supply from artesian wells. In country and suburban communities hydraulic rams are largely used for dairy farms and other domestic supplies. There are also many gravity systems in the mountains and artesian wells in the coastal plain. USE OF WATER FOR, INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES. The supply of water for mining, quarrying, manufacturing, steam making, etc., is very important. Gold mining is a great industry in the State, and water is largely used for hydraulic work in placers and also in saprolite belts. In USES OF WATEE. 13 the latter class of niinrng, the water excavates and transports the material in long flumes, automatically depositing the loose gold hi the sluice riffles, separating the slate, clay, and slimes from the quartz, and landing the concentrated ore in the mill, where it is crushed by stamps. The free gold is amalgamated on copper plates, and the auriferous iron sulphides are saved on a concentrator and reduced by chlorination and precipitation of the gold. All of these processes require large quantities of water. In the Dahlonega region water for hydraulic mining is brought long distances in open canals along the hillsides and hilltops. Some of these canals are 40 miles and more m length and have cost many thousands of dollars. One of the most famous is the Yahoola ditch from the upper waters of Yahoola Creek. It is 20 miles long from its head to the town of Dahlonega and has supplied mmes through branch ditches 10 and 15 miles in length. It carries from 500 to 1,000 miner's inches of water, and water has been sold from it for many years at 12 cents per miner's inch per da}'^. A miner's inch,,Colorado standard, is 11^ gallons, or 1| cubic feet per minute, or one-fortieth of a cubic foot per second. In a large part of the extensive gold regions of the State the mining is underground work in which water is not used for excavation, but a large amount of battery water is used in the mills, and an additional supply is needed for the concentrators. Water is also used extensively in the washing and concentrating processes of iron, manganese, ocher, barytes, p3Tites, corundum, asbestos, bauxite, and other minerals. Quarrying industries require a good water supply, both for making steam and for operating rock drills. The marble quarries near Tate, Marble Hill, and Ball Ground, in Pickens County; the granite quarries at Stone Mountain, Lithonia, Conyers, Lexington, Elberton, and other points; the National Cement Quarries at Cement, Ga., near Kingston; the slate and limestone quarries of the Southern States Portland Cement Company at Rockmart ; and other quarries through- out the State are operated on a large scale. Immediately allied with the quarrying industry are the great mar- ble manufacturing mills at Tate, Marble Hill, Nelson, Ball Ground, Canton, and Marietta for sawing and finishing marble. The sawing and rubbing is done with sand and water, requiring a good water supply. Aside from the water required for power, there are many manufacturing industries, such as paper making and bleacheries, that can not be operated mthout pure water and a great deal of it. There are many large springs in the Paleozoic region of northwest Georgia and also in the Coastal Plain of south Georgia that are clear and sparkling and excellent for drinking purposes, but that contain carbonates of lime and magnesia in solution, either of which is objectionable in a water to be used in chemical processes such as 14 WATER EESOURCES OF GEORGIA. bleaching; if present in large quantities they even render the water unfit for steam boilers, as they deposit incrustations of lime and magnesia on the inside of the boiler. The springs of the crystalline region of middle and northeast Georgia are generally pure, contain- ing no carbonates and a very insignificant amount of the other min- eral ingredients, but in the greater part of this area the springs are small, rarely having a flow of more than 10 or 15 gallons a mmute. The exception to this rule is a belt of country within the crystalline region, running nearly east and west along the pine mountain range in Pike, Upson, Meriwether, Talbot, and Harris Counties, in which there are large springs of pure freestone water, suitable both in quantity and quality for bleacheries, fish hatcheries, etc. One of the^largest of these is the Cold Spring, in Meriwether County," at Bullochville, about 1 mile below Warm Springs, Ga., on the Georgia Midland division of the Southern Railway. It has a flow of 2,025 gallons per minute, and is utilized as a. fish hatchery by the United States Fish Commission. It issues from a ledge of vitrified sand- stone, which is continuous through the entire region, and forms the backbone of the pine mountain range, which is geologically the coast range of Georgia. Warm Spring, about 1 mile distant, has a flow of 1,890 gallons a minute, but is evidently of a much deeper origin, as its temperature is 87° Fahrenheit. There are many other springs of the same character as Cold Spring along the pine moun- tain belt, one of the most prominent of which is Big Blue Spring, in Harris County, which has been proposed as a water supply for the, city of Columbus. In other parts of the State probably one of the best sources of pure, clear water for chemical use is found in the gravel beds under- lying the river bottom land. These gravel beds lie immediately on the bed rock and can generally be relied on to furnish a good supply of water that has been clarified by a natural filter. WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS.a MEASUREMENT OF FLOW. In order to obtain a knowledge of the water supply, or amount of water flowing in the streams at all seasons, certain convenient sta- tions have been established on important rivers and tributaries. A gage for observing the stage of the river is established at a bridge or other place where the record of flow is to be made. This gage is a vertical staff, or some other device by which the height of water may be observed, and is read each day by a person living near by. The a The methods by which the records of stream discharge have been made by the United States Geological Survey are described in detail in Water-Sup. and Irr. Papers Nos. 94 and 95, WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS. 15 average of the gage readings, if more than one, in any day is used as the mean gage height for that day. At various stages of the river one of the hydrographers of tlie Survey visits the station and measures with a current meter the amount of water flowing. This meter is primarily an instrument for measuring the velocity of moving water, and consists essentially of a wheel with vanes, which may be shaped like those of a windmill or of a screw, or with cups like those of an anemometer, the neces- sary qualification being that moving water shall readily cause the wheel of the meter to turn. Each meter is rated before use. The rating is done by moving the meter through still water at various observed speeds to determine the relation between the velocity with which the meter moves through the water and the revolutions of the wheel. This relation having been determined, the meter is used in running water, the revolutions per unit of time noted, and the velocity of the water computed. Observations of depth of water are also made, and from them the area in cross section of each portion of the stream is computed ; each partial area multiplied by the mean velocity of that area gives a partial discharge; the sum of the partial discharges is the total dis- charge of the stream. Measurements of flow as outlined above are made covering a con- siderable range of gage height. They are then plotted on coordinate paper, with gage heights for ordinates and discharges for abscissas, and a smooth curve, called the rating curve, is drawn through the points. From this curve a rating table is made which shows the dis- charge of the stream for any gage height. The data necessary for the construction of a rating table for a gaging station as just stated are (1) the results of the discharge meas- urements, which include the record of stage of the river at the time of measurement, the area of the cross section, the mean velocity of the current and the quantity of water flowing, and (2) a thorough knowledge of the conditions at and in the vicinity of the station. The construction of the rating table depends on the following laws of flow for open permanent channels: (1) The discharge will remain constant so long as the conditions at and near the gaging station remain constant; (2) neglecting the change of slope due to the rise and fall of the stream, the discharge will be the same whenever the stream is at a given stage; (3) the discharge is a function of, and increases gradually with, the stage. The plotting of results of the various discharge measurements, using gage heights as ordinates, and discharge, mean velocity, and area as abscissas, will define curves which show the discharge, mean velocity, and area corresponding to any gage height. For the devel- opment of these curves there should be, therefore, a sufficient number 16 WATER EESOUECES OF GEORGIA. of discharge measurements to cover the range of the stage of the stream.* As the discharge is the product of two factors, the area and the mean velocity, any change in either factor alone will produce a cor- responding change in the discharge. Their curves are therefore' con- structed in order to study each independently of the other. The area curve can be definitely determined from accurate sound- ings extending to the limits of high water. It is always concave toward the horizontal axis or on a straight line, unless the banks of the stream are overhanging. The form of the mean-velocity curve depends on the surface slope, the roughness of the bed, and the cross section of the stream. Of these the slope is the principal factor. Tills curve may be a straight line, or a curve either convex or con- cave, or may be a combination of these three forms, owing to the rela- tive degree to which any of the factors are present or to the change which they undergo during the change of gage height. A careful study of the conditions at a gaging station makes it possible to pre- dict the form of this curve and to extend it beyond the limits of the actual measurements. The discharge curve is defined primarily by the measured dis- charges, and when these do not cover the entire range of gage height for which it is desired to make a rating table, the curve is sometimes extended by the use of the area and mean-velocity curves, which have themselves been extended, as above shown. This curve, under normal conditions, is concave toward the horizontal axis and is gen- erally parabolic in form. In preparing the rating table the discharge for each tenth on the gage is taken from the curve, and the differences between successive discharges are then adjusted according to the law that they shall be either increasing or constant. The finished ratin^ table shows the discharge in cubic feet per second, corresponding to each tenth of a foot on the gage, and is used to supply the discharge values to the daily gage heights furnished by the obser^ lt in making up the daily or monthly estimate of flow. DEFIN^ iONS. The volume of water flowing ai a stream, the "run-off," is expressed in various terms, each of' which is associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided into two classes: Those which represent a rate of flow, as second-foot, gallons per minute, and run- off in second-feet per square mile, and those which represent actual quantities of water, as run-off in depth in inches. They may be defined as follows: a A typical rating curve, wi h corresponding area and mean-velocity curves, is given in Water-Sup. and Irr. Paper No. KiS, 1906, p. 17. WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS. 17 "Second-foot" is an abbreviation for cubic foot per second and is the quantity of water flowing in a stream 1 foot wide, 1 foot deep, at the rate of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a funda- mental unit from which the others are computed. /'Gallons per minute" is generally used in connection with pump- ing and city water supply. ''Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area. "Run-off in inches" is the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were con- served and uniformly distributed over the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth in inches. EXPLANATION OF TABLES. For each regular station are given, as far as available, the following data: 1. Descrij)tion of station. 2. List of discharge measurements. 3. Gage-height tables. 4. Rating tables. 5. Tables of estimated monthly and yearly discharges and run-off, based upon all the facts available to date. The descriptions of stations give such general information about the locality and equipment as would enable the reader to find and use the station. They also give, as far. as possible, a complete history of all the changes that have occurred since the establishment of the sta- tion that would affect the use of the data collected. The discharge-measurement table gives the results of the discharge measurements made .during each year, and includes the date, the gage height, and the discharge in second-feet. The table of daily gaget^ights gives for each day the mean height of the surface of the river, c f^ouncl from the mean of the gage read- ings taken on that day. The rating table gives discharge' in second-feet corresponding to each stage of the river, as given 'by the -gage heights. In the table of estimated run-off the column headed "Maximum" gives the mean flow for the day when the mean gage height was the highest, and it is the flow as given in the rating table for that mean gage height. As the gage height is the mean for the day, there might have been short periods when the water was higher and the corresponding discharge larger than given in this column. Likewise, 3696— IRR 197—07 2 18 WATEE RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. in the column of "Minimum," the quantity given is the mean flow for the day when the mean gage height was lowest. The column headed "Mean" gives the average flow for each second during the month. Upon this mean the computations for the remaining col- umns are based. GAGING STATIONS IN GEORGIA.

Savannah River is formed by the junction of Tugaloo and Seneca rivers, which unite about I'OO miles above Augusta, Ga. It flows in a southeasterly direction, forming the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina, and empties into the Atlantic Ocean near Savannah, Ga. It is navigable up to Augusta, which is at the fall line. Seneca River is formed by the junction of Little and Keowee rivers, about 5 miles northeast of Seneca, S. C. Both of these tributaries rise in the Blue Ridge in North Carolina and the northwestern part of South Carolina. Tugaloo River is formed by the junction of Chattooga and Tallulah rivers, which join at the western corner of Oconee County, S. C. It flows in a southeasterly direction and is a part of the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina. Chattooga River rises in Jack- son County, N. C, and flows in a southwesterly direction along the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina. Tallulah River rises in Macon County, N. C, and in the northwestern part of Rabun County, Ga., and flows in a southeasterly direction. Parts of its course are cut through the solid rock for hundreds of feet, forming canyons and steep bluffs. Throughout its entire length the fall is very great, and at Tallulah Falls the stream drops more than 500 feet in a short distance. Broad River joins the Savannah at the southeast corner of Elbert County, Ga. It rises in Habersham and Banks counties and flows in a southeasterly direction to the southeast corner of Madison County, Ga., where the South Fork joins it. From there it flows east to Savan- nah River. Its drainage is from a rolling country, and there is a con- siderable amount of fall at various points. At Anthony Shoals the fall is more than 50 feet in a short distance. Above Augusta, Ga., there is much fall, which can be developed for 'water power. Except at the large plant at Augusta, very little of this is being used. STREAM FLOW. TALLULAH RIVER AT TALLULAH FALLS. This station was originally established August 29, 1900, by M. R. Hall, and records of gage heights were obtained until October 19, 1900. The record was resumed January 18, 1901, and maintained until December 31, 1901. The station was reestablished July 10, 1904, when bench marks were determined and regular gage readings begun. The station is located at the wagon bridge about one-fourth mile above the falls and about the same distance from the village of Tallulah Falls, Ga. 20 WATER EESOURCES OF GEORGIA. The channel is nearly straight for 300 feet above and 200 feet below the station. The current is swift. Both banks are high, wooded, rock}^ bluffs and are not subject to overflow. The bed of the stream is composed of rock and is rough and permanent. There is but one channel at all stages. Discharge measurements are made from the iron wagon bridge, which has a single span of 100 feet and rests on timber piers. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge on the upstream side at the left bank. The original gage is a vertical rod spiked to a small maple tree on the left bank of the river about 50 feet above the bridge. June 21, 1905, a 5-foot rod gage was fastened verticalh^ to the solid rock on the right bank 25 feet above the bridge. The datum is the same as that of the original gage. The gage is read once each day by J. T. Mc- Kay. The bench mark consists of a copper plug set in the solid rock on the right bank, 27 feet upstream from the upper edge of the bridge; elevation, 7.05 feet above gage datum.

TUGALOO RIVER NEAR MADISON, S. C. This station was originally established July 19, 1898, at Cooks Ferry and was discontinued December 31, 1901, when the ferry was moved. It was reestablished July 7, 1903, by M. R. Hall, at Holcombs Ferry, 1 mile west of Madison, S. C, and 900 feet below the Southern Rail- way bridge. This station is about 1^ miles above the point where the old station was located. The bed of the river is sandy and the current is moderately swift. The channel is about 160 feet wide and is fairly uniform in width and general appearance for some distance, being straight for 1,000 feet or more both above and below the station. The banks are both moder- .ately high, but will overflow for about 200 feet on the right bank and 250 feet on the left. Both are open and cultivated except for a few trees along the edge of the river. These conditions make it possible to obtain fairly good float measurements at the time of floods. 24 WATEE KESOURCES OF GEORGIA. . Discharge measurements are made fromi the ferryboat, or a small boat which is held in place by a cable stretched across the river. The initial point for soundings is the land side of the windlass used for stretching the cable; it is located on the right bank. Distances are measured along the hand line which is used to pull the boat across the river. The gage consists of a vertical timber in three sections. The first section reads from 1 to 16 feet and is attached to a sycamore tree on the left bank, about 30 feet above the ferry landing; the second sec- tion reads from 16 to 22 feet and is attached to a sycamore tree on the left bank, about IS feet above the ferry landing; the third section reads from 21 to 31 feet and is fastened to a locust tree on the left bank at the forks of the road, about 175 feet from the ferry landing. The gage is read once each day by T. A. Spencer. The bench mark is a U. S. Geological Survey standard bronze tablet marked "666 Atlanta" on the right-bank pier of the Southern Railway bridge; elevation, 35.30 feet above the datum of the gage. It is 665.47 feet above sea level. Discharge measurements of Tugaloo River near Madison, S. C. Date. Gage height. Dis- charge. Date. Gage height. Dis- charge. May 25 1898.

C. Systematic measurements were begun at this point August 4, 1896. The station is located at the Seaboard Air Line Railroad bridge, 3 miles west of Calhoun Falls, S. C, above the mouth of Beaver Dam Creek, at the head of Trotters Shoal, and about one-fourth mile below the mouth of Rocky River. The observer is Peter J. Pfeiffer, who reads the gage once daily. The station is also used by the United States Weather Bureau, which pays the gage reader. The river is divided into two channels by a large island containing several hundred acres. Both channels are slightly curved for about 2,000 feet above the bridge and are straight for about 500 feet below. The west channel, which is the main river, is sluggish only at low water. It has a rough and rocky bed and in places the current is irregular. The east chamiel is a good section, but has a low velocity. The right bank of the west channel and the left bank of the east channel are liigh and wooded and are not liable to overflow. The island between the channels is nearly covered at extreme high water. At low water the east channel is 150 feet wide and from 3 to 4 feet deep. The main channel is about 400 feet wide and from 2 to 8 feet deep. Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the railroad bridge, to which the gage is attached. This bridge consists of one short span 175 feet in length across the east channel and three spans of 155 feet each across the west, or main, channel. These two sections are connected by 875 feet of a wooden trestle, from 35 to 45 feet liigh, which crosses the island between the two channels. The base of the rail is about 54 feet above low water. The initial point for soundings is the left-bank end of the iron bridge on the upstream side. A separate initial point has been used for each channel, the description being the same in both cases. 32 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. ^The chain gage is bolted to the downstream guard rail, 185 feet from the initial point for soundings. The length of the chain from the index to the end of weight is 57.10 feet. Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the iron girder under the cross- ties of the downstream side of the bridge at a point 40 feet west of the second pier from the east end of the bridge ; elevation, 54 feet above the gage datum. Bench mark No. 3 is a copper plug set in solid rock on the east bank of the east channel, 15 feet from the edge of the water and 110 feet upstream from the center of the railroad track; elevation, 14.38 feet above gage datum. The station was discontinued December 31, 1903. Gage heights and monthly estimates of flow for 1901 and 1902, previously published for this station, are considered unreliable and hence are not republished in this paper.

C. This station was established November 9, 1905, by M. E. Hall. It is located at the Charleston and Western Carolina Railway bridge, 1,000 feet from the depot at Woodlawn, S. C, 17 miles above Augusta, Ga., and 10 miles above the Augusta water-power dam. The flow is almost natural at this point, being affected very shghtly by stored water, mostly from Seneca River. The river is divided by a low island into two channels. The east channel is the main part of the river, as there is very little water flowing in the west channel at ordinary stages and probably none at the lowest stage. The channel is practically straight at the station. The left bank is high and will not overflow except under the short trestle approach. The island and the bank for a short distance west of the west channel will over- flow. The current is swift and is good in the greater part of the section at low water, but at places it is broken and irregular or is sloping with the direction of the section. The bed of the stream is mostly rock, the considerable roughness of which causes the irregu- larities in the current above mentioned. Careful measurements should give good results at this station. 38 WATER EESOURCES OF GEORGIA. Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the raikoad bridge, wliich is in four spans over the east channel and a single span over the west channel. Across the island between the two channels there is about 900 feet of wooden trestle. The gage is a boxed chain gage, attached to the upstream end of the second floor beam from the left end of the bridge. The length of the chain is 39 feet. It is read twice each day by M. A. Palmore. The bench mark is the top of the upstream end of the second floor beam from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 37.00 feet above the datum of the gage.

Since 1875 observations of river heights have been maintained at this station by the city of Augusta at the city highway bridge. The United States Weather Bureau has published the results of observa- tions from 1875 to 1905 in a volume entitled ''Stages of Water at River Stations." The channel is straight for a long distance above and below the bridge and is about 560 feet wide at low water. The banks are high, but will overflow at times under a part of the length of the approaches and, at very liigh stages, for a long distance on either side of the river beyond the ends of the bridge. The bed of the stream is sandy and undergoes considerable change. The current is swift. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the North Augusta bridge at Tliirteenth street in the city of Augusta. This bridge consists of three spans, each 208 feet long, with 319 feet of wooden approach on the right bank and 259 feet on the left. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank on the downstream side. SAVANNAH DEAIISTAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 39 The gage, located at the Fifth Street Bridge, 1 mile below the meas- uring station, is a vertical timber fastened to the first bridge pier which is in the water on the side of the pier near the upstream corner, facing the right bank. Readings are made four times each day by J. M. Youngblood, keeper of the city bridge, usually at 6 a. m., 12 m., 6 p. m., and 9 p. m. The 6 a. m. readings are those used by the Weather Bureau, but are liable to be very misleading, owing to the great diurnal fluctuation of the water surface, and should not be used for important work. In the publications of the United States Geo- logical Survey since 1900 the average of all four of the daily readings is used and is reduced to feet and tenths of a foot. The zero of the gage is the datum of all the city levels, and any city bench mark can therefore be used. A point is established on the North Augusta bridge from which to measure down with a steel tape. This is the top of the plate through which the top pipe of the bridge fencing passes, which is riveted to the right side of the intermediate post at the down- stream end of the third floor beam from the right-bank end of the bridge, and at ordinary stages it is 55.00 feet above water, less the reading of the gage. This station is located below all the wheels of the large developed water power belonging to the city of Augusta. Water is diverted from the river above the city by a canal following along the right bank, described in Volume XVI of the Tenth Census, 1880, page 789. A measurement of the canal by B. M. Hall on Sep- tember 29, 1897, above all the water wheels, showed a flow of 2,640 second-feet, presumably all of which was passing through the water wheels under varying heads. The full head is 50 feet, but the canal has three levels. Some of the wheels discharge from the upper level or main canal directly into the river, while others discharge from one level to another. The highest water recorded was on September 11, 1888, at 38.7 feet. At that time the entire city was submerged, 10 persons were drowned, and property was damaged to the amount of $2,000,000. The floods of this river have been investigated under the direction of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, and reports prepared by George W. Brown, assistant engineer. The first of these, dated February 11, 1889, was printed, with maps, as House Ex. Doc. No. 213, Fifty-first Congress, first session; it was also given, with few maps, in the Report of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, 1890, page 1340. A later report, dated June 10, 1890, also prepared by Mr. George W. Brown, was printed as Ex. Doc. No. 255, Fifty- first Congress, second session. In this report is given a rating table, showing the probable discharge of the river at heights on the gage of from 5 to 40 feet. On page 17 of this latter document is shown the run-off in cubic feet per second per square mile for various por- tions of the drainage basin. A table of distances and elevations and 40 WATER EESOUECES OF GEORGIA. slope of river, as well as a description of the character of the drainage basin, is also given. From the figures in the above-named reports a computation was made by Cyrus C. Babb of the fluctuations of flow of Savannah Eiver, the results being published in the Fourteenth Aimual Report, Part II, of the United States Geological Survey, page 14:7, relating to the years 18S4 to 1891, inclusive. A discussion of the results is also given in Transactions American Society of Civil Engineers, Volume XXIII, page 332. By the use of a rating table ]\Ii\ Hall has computed the minimum flow, by months, from 1892 to 1898, inclusive. In each case he has taken the average of all the readings for the day of lowest water in the given month, and not the lowest single reading. The lowest average daily reading for the seven years is that on July 3, 1898, of 3.88. Minimum monthly gage height and discharge of Savannah River at Augusta, for 1S92 to 1S9S, inclusive. 1S92.

CHAUGA RIVER NEAR MADISON, S. C. A station was established on Chauga River at Bryan wagon bridge, 2 miles east of Madison and 1 mile above the mouth of the river, by M. R. Hall, and measurements were made during 1900 and 1901, in connection with the old station on Tugaloo River at Cooks Ferry, near Madison. When the Tugaloo River station was reestab- lished in 1903 the Chauga River station was also reestablished for the purpose of making a series of miscellaneous measurements. The channel is straight for about 500 feet above the station; below it is curved for about 50 feet and then straight. The current is swift. The right bank is high, clean, and liable to overflow during freshets. The left bank is high, rocky, wooded, and not subject to 48 WATEE EESOUECES OF GEOEGIA. overflow. Floods can not be measured, as high water goes over the bridge. Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the single-span wooden bridge, wliich is supported by log cribs filled with rock and anchored to bed rock. The initial point for soundings is the top of the anchor bolt in the upstream corner of the right-bank abutment. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench marks. No. 1 is the top of the downstream guard rail 7 feet from the right bank; elevation, 10.00 feet. No. 2 is a large nail driven horizontally into the center of the downstream end of the lowest cross log of the right- bank crib abutment; elevation, 4.50 feet.

This station was established as a regular station by M. E,. Hall on December 8, 1903, at which time a standard chain gage and the bench marks were established. A vertical gage had been put in July 19, 1903, and records obtained from it for a portion of the time. Both gages are referred to the same datum. The station is located at the highway bridge about 3 miles south of Clemson College, S. C, and about 300 feet up the river from the crossing of the Blue Ridge Railroad. At ordinary stages the channel is about 150 feet wide. The right bank is high and will not overflow, but the left bank will overflow for a considerable width at a gage height of about 23 feet. The bed of the river is sandy. The current is moderate. At low stages there is a daily fluctuation of about 1 foot in the gage heights, caused by the operations of water powers above. The standard chain gage is located on the lower chord on the down- stream side of the bridge; length of chain, 31.82 feet. The vertical gage is in 5-foot sections, fastened to the iron braces between the cyl- inders of the right-bank pier. Mud accumulates at the lower end of the vertical gage. The gage is read twice each day by M. L. Sanders. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the up- stream cylinder of the right-bank pier at a point marked ''B. M.' ' by SAVANNAH DKAIFAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 49 chisel cuts; elevation, 28.95 feet. (2) A copper plug set in rock on the right bank under the railroad bridge, and about 20 feet to the right of the center pier; elevation, 10.27 feet.

C. This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located at a highway bridge just below Swearingen's mill, about 3J miles northwest of Calhoun Falls, S. C. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the bridge, which is 110 feet long and supported by two timber piers. The initial point for soundings is the right end of the downstream guard rail. The channel is curved for about 200 feet above and straight for 300 feet below the station. The current is swift. Both banks are subject to overflow during high water. The bed of the stream is composed of sand and gravel and is very changeable. The washing out and filling in of the channel pre- vents rating. The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of trestle cap on the left side of pier next the right bank. Its elevation is 6.00 feet above gage datum. 52 WATER EESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

This station was established May 27, 1897, by M., R. Hall. The gage is now maintained and the observer paid by the United States Weather Bureau. The station is located at the Seaboard Air lAne bridge 3 miles east of Carlton and 2 miles above the mouth of the South Fork. ■ The channel above and below the station is straight for 500 feet. The right bank is high and is not liable to overflow. The left bank is low for about 400 feet, beyond which it is high and rocky. It overflows at a gage height of about 16 feet. The bed of the stream is sand and gravel and is somewhat changeable. Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the deck bridge, which has two spans of 125 feet each, with trestle approaches 340 feet long on the left bank and 50 feet long on the right bank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the iron bridge on the right bank, upstream side, A standard chain gage is fastened to the guard rail, with its bottom resting on the upstream end of the cross-ties. The center of the pul- ley is 39.5 feet from the initial point for soundings. The length of the chain is 54.00 feet. The gage is read once each day by S. P. Powers, jr. During the low water of October 1 to December 31, 1905, the gage was read twice each day. Bench marks were established as fol- lows : (1) The top of the upstream iron ghder under the cross-ties at a point about 40 feet from the initial pomtfor soundings; elevation, 51 feet. (2) The top of the capstone of the right bank pier at a point under the upstream side of the end of the bridge; elevation, 30.78 feet above the datum of the gage, which is 384 feet above sea level.

BROAD RIVER (sOUTH FORK) NEAR CARLTON. This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located at Bull Rat Rock, about 1 mile south of Carlton, Ga. Discharge measurements are made at a shoal about 100 yards above the rock by means of a boat. The initial point for soundings is a small sweet- gum tree on the left bank. The channel is curved for 200 feet above and 500 feet below the station. The current is sluggish. The right bank is cultivated and the left is wooded. Both banks are subject to overflow at rare intervals. The bed of the stream is composed of rock and is very rough. The bench mark is composed of three cop- per nails driven into the gum tree, which forms the initial point for sounding. Its elevation is 5.00 feet above datum.

The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum tablet marked " 1050 M. C./' at the Washington street entrance to the State capitol at Atlanta, the elevation of which is accepted as 1,049.546 feet above mean sea level. The initial point on which these levels depend is a bronze tablet at the north side of east entrance at court- house at Clarksville, Ga., marked ''1373 Atlanta," the elevation of which is accepted as 1,371.991 feet above mean sea level, in accordance with the 1903 adjustment of the precise level net. The leveling on Tugaloo, and on Savannah River from Tugaloo River to Broad River, was done in the summer of 1903, under the direction of Carroll Caldwell, field assistant, by Thomas B. O'Hagan, levelman. The survey of Savannah River from Broad River to Augusta, Ga., was made by C. M. Pritchett, in January, 1903, for the United States Geological Survey.

GENERAL STATEMENT. It is intended that the foregoing lists of water surface elevations along the main river and tributaries above Augusta shall give full and complete data in regard to the total fall and its distribution on these streams : The record of the hydrographic stations at Augusta, Ga., Calhoun Falls, S. C, and Fort Madison, S. C, on Savannah and Tugaloo rivers, Carlton on Broad River, and Tallulah Falls on Tallulah River will form a basis for estimating the amount of water flowing at all points. In the following, attention is called to certain important shoals and proposed grouping of shoals into proposed powers, and mention is made of some of the conditions relative to developing these powers, as well as to powers already utilized. 78 WATEE EESOURCES OF GEOEGIA. TALLULAH RIVER. From the mouth of Popcorn Creek, near the headwaters, down to mouth of Tiger Creek, a distance of 25 miles, the fall is 265 feet, and as can be seen from the list of elevations is almost uniformly distrib- uted, being slightly more than 10 feet to the mile. At a few points in the section the drop is from 5 to 10 feet in a short distance, and good small-power sites are available. In the next 4 miles below Tiger Creek the fall is 55 feet. This reaches the head of the rapids above Tallulah Falls, at which point there is an excellent location for a large storage dam. The fall from here down to the head of Tallulah Falls proper is 110 feet. Somewhere in this section the water should be diverted to a canal if the falls proper should ever be developed into a water power, as by beginning the canal at high enough elevation it can be put on comparatively good ground outside the gorge. A large wat^r power can be developed in this section entirely above the falls proper at a comparatively small expense. Along Tallulah River, beginning at Tallulah Falls, is some of the most picturesque and rugged scenery in the Southern vStates. In 3J miles the river drops from 1,414 to 754 feet above sea level, or a distance of 660 feet. Ihe principal falls, in the order they occur, are L'eau D'or 28 feet, Tem- pesta 76 feet, Hurricane 89 feet, Oceana 41 feet. Bridal Veil 17 feet, all occurring within a distance of less than three-fourths of a mile. The gorge is very difficult and dangerous to climb. On both banks are precipitous cliffs, rising in some places 500 feet shear. The gorge continues to the Tugaloo, except for one stretch about one-half mile long, where it opens up and forms what is known as the Old Valley farm. In the 2 J miles above the mouth of the river there is a fall of 254 feet, all below the falls proper, which could be used for power without interfering with Tallulah Falls. WATER POWER ON TUGALOO RIVER. From the head of Tugaloo River down to the mouth of Panther Creek, a distance of 4| miles, there are some good shoals, the total fall being 85 feet. The banks are favorable for power development along the entire stretch. From Panther Creek to Averys Ferry, a distance of 35 miles, the slope is too gentle and the valley too wide to utilize the river without flooding considerable farming land. Chandler Shoals, 1 1 miles below Averys Ferrj'', begin near Bradberry Ferry and have a fall of 10 feet in three-fourths mile. Three-fourths of a mile below are Hatten Shoals, with a fall of 35 feet in 2 miles. These shoals are considered the finest on the river; a 45-foot dam at them would back the water about 4 miles, with very little damage to cultivated land. From this point down to the mouth of Seneca River, which is the head of Savannah River, the fall is 14 feet in a distance of 4 miles. SAVAN^NAH DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER. 79 WATER POWER ON SAVANNAH RIVER. The fall in Savannah River for the first 7 miles, down to the head of McDaniels Shoals, is 20 feet. At McDaniels Shoals there is a fall of 19 feet in 3 miles. Half a mile above the foot of the shoals, at the head of Harpers Island, is an excellent site for a dam about 700 feet long. In the 4 miles between this power and the next at Turners Shoals the fall is 12 feet. At Turners Shoals there is a fall of 17 feet in about 4J miles. These shoals begin at Kenly Ferry and extend to Crafts Ferry. The river widens considerably about a mile below Kenly Ferry. There are several good sites for dams, one being on Crafts Island. The river is wide, however, requiring a dam about 1,000 feet long. Half a mile below, at Middleton Shoals, there is a fall of 11 feet in If miles, with an excellent site for a dam at the foot of the shoals. In IJ miles below, the fall is 5 feet. This reaches the head of Gregg Shoals, where the fall is 8 feet in about a mile. Here the river runs between steep hills, and a dam would be about 900 feet long. Half a mile below Mosele3?^s Ferry are the Cherokee Shoals, having 19 feet fall in 2-| miles. This is a very fine power site, as the river runs between steep hills. A dam would have to be 1,000 feet long, and would be placed about a quarter of a mile above the Seaboard Air Line railroad bridge. One and a quarter miles below the bridge are Trotters Shoals, with a fall of 75 feet in 6 miles. These are considered the finest shoals on the river. They commence at the foot of Watkins Island and extend below Tate's mill to Coffer Creek. In this distance there are numer- ous rocky bluffs where there are excellent dam sites. In the next 5 miles, extending to the mouth of Broad River, the fall is 11 feet. From the mouth of Broad River down to Little River, from the South Carolina side, the fall is slight, being 23 feet in the distance of 16 miles. From this point down to the upper end of Long Shoals the fall is 42 feet in 6 miles. The fall is 23 feet in the next 5 miles, extending to the foot of Scotts Shoals. From here to the Augusta dam the fall is 28 feet in 15 miles. At Augusta the power is fully developed by a dam about 10 feet high and a canal 7 miles long. The head is about 50 feet. This power belongs to the city of Augusta. It was developed in 1845-1847 and the canal was enlarged in 1872-1875. WATER POWER ON CHATTOOGA RIVER. Tallulah River unites with Chattooga River to form the Tugaloo. Chattooga River contains many available undeveloped power sites. From its mouth to Warwoman Creek, a distance of 23 miles, the river 80 WATEK EESOURCES OF GEOEGIA. flows through a wild, rugged country, being in a gorge almost the entire distance, which results in a very narrow and swift stream. There are numerous dam sites along this distance, the river being almost one continuous shoal, averaging a fall of 32 feet to the mile, and having a fine rock bottom, with rock cliffs on either side. From Warwoman Creek up to Russells Bridge the valley is wide and the fall is much less, being 78 feet in 7 miles. WATER POWER ON BROAD RIVER. In the 4f miles from the mouth of the river to foot of Anthony Shoals the fall is 13 feet, 8 feet of which occurs in a distance of 1 mile at Millford Shoals. Anthony Shoals is the finest power site on the river and is one of the best in the State, the fall being 62 feet in a distance of If luiles. Several plans have been proposed for developing the power. Prob- ably the best plan is to build a dam near the upper end of the shoal high enough to raise the water at least 10 feet, and to construct a canal to a point near the foot of the shoals. The proposed raise of 10 feet would back the water 10 miles up the river to the foot of Fish dam, where there is a 3-foot dam, 250 feet long, furnishing power for a gristmill and a sawmill. From Fish dam to the mouth of South Broad River, 15 miles, there is a fall of 23 feet, with no shoal of any consequence. The bottoms are wide in most places and are in a high state of cultivation. One mile above the mouth of South Broad River are the Detweiler Shoals, with a fall of 7 feet in one-half mile. A mile and a half farther are the Lower Moore Shoals, with a fall of 7 feet in one-third mile, with good outcrops of hard rock on both sides. A dam here would be about 350 feet long. Five miles farther up the river are Payton Shoals with a fall of 3 feet in one-third mile. In the 4 miles from Payton Shoals to the foot of Moores Shoals the fall is 29 feet. At Moores Shoals there is a fall of 28 feet in 1| miles. Above this point there are several shoals with good sites for dams. The fall is 35 feet for the first 5 miles up to the mouth of Blue Creek, and about 5 feet to the mile above this to the end of the survey at Harrison Bridge. OGBECHEE ETS^ER DRAINAGE BASIN. DESCRIPTION OF BASIN. Ogeechee River is formed by the junction of Williamsons Swamp Creek and Rocky Comfort Creek in Jefferson County, Ga., and drains a small basin in southeastern Georgia lying between the Savannah and Altamaha basins. Ogeechee River runs in a southeasterly^ direction and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Its main tributary is Cannoochee OGEECHEE DEAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 81 River, which rises in Emanuel County, Ga., and flows southeast, join- ing the Ogeechee about 20 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The streams in this basin run through a country that is mostly low. The current is generally good, but the fall available for power is probably small. The bank on one side or the other of the stream is generally low and swampy. STREAM FLOW. OGEECHEE RIVER NEAR MILLEN. This station was established by F. A. Murray at Daniel's toll bridge, 1 mile west of Millen, on June 20, 1903, but was discontinued Decem- ber 31, 1903, on account of poor conditions for accurate measurement of the flow. The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and about 500 feet below the bridge. The current is swift in the main channel and sluggish near the banks. The right bank is low and overflows. There is a trestle approach for about 300 feet over low, swampy land on this side of the river. The left bank is lower than the right bank, the swamp extending back from the river about one-fourth mile. The bed of the stream is sandy and shifting. There is but one channel at ordinary stages, but several channels at high water. Discharge measurements were made from the upstream side of the wooden highway bridge to which the gage is attached. The bridge is at an angle of about 45° to the current. The initial point for soundings is the end of the hand rail at the tollhouse on the left bank, upstream side of the bridge. The gage is a vertical rod reading from to 12 feet. It is nailed to the upstream post of the third bent from the tollhouse. The gage was read once daily during 1903 by T. J. Lane, the toll keeper. Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the upstream end of the cap of the first bent from the tollhouse; elevation, 12.00 feet above the zero of the gage. Bench mark No. 2 consists of a notch and nails in the corner of the tollhouse next the river; elevation, 18.00 feet above the zero of the gage.

This station was established June 19, 1903, by F. A. Murray, at the Davisboro Bridge, about 200 yards south of the Central of Georgia Railroad station, which is in the middle of the town. It was discon- tinued on December 31, 1904. The channel is straight for about 200 feet above and below the sta- tion. The right bank is low and overflows at a gage reading of 4 to 4 J feet. The left bank will overflow at a gage height of 3 feet. The bed of the stream is sandy and is slightly shifting. There is but one channel at all stages. The current is somewhat obstructed by the bents which support the bridge at low water and by trees and brush on the banks at high water. Discharge measurements were made from the upstream side of the wooden highway bridge, which is supported by wooden bents about 18 feet apart. The initial point for soundings is the outer edge of the post which supports the end of the hand rail on the left bank upstream side of the bridge. The gage is a vertical rod 10 feet long. It is nailed to the left side of the upstream post of the bent which supports the bridge at a point 302 feet from the initial point for soundings. It was read once each day by A. Baker, a hotel proprietor, who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the bridge floor at the bent 302 feet from the initial point for soundings on the upstream side of the bridge. The point is marked with a cross and the letters "B. M." cut into the top of the bridge-floor plank; elevation, 11.00 feet above the zero of the gage, which is attached to the same bent. Bench mark No. 2 is the center of a large wire nail driven horizontally into the bridgeward side of an ash tree which stands in the creek near the right bank about 40 feet below the bridge; elevation, 5.50 feet above the zero of the gage.

This station was established June 12, 1903, by F. A. Murray, at Moody's bridge, 3 miles south of Groveland, Bryan County. The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and 400 feet below the station. The current is swift in the main channel, but sluggish near the banks. Both banks are of clay and sand, and overflow at from 15 to 16 feet gage height. The bed of the stream is of silt, and is shifting. There is but one channel at all stages, broken by the piers of the bridge, up to the height at which the river overflows its banks. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the nine-span wooden highway bridge. The initial point for soundings is the outer edge of the post which supports the end of the hand rail on the downstream side of the bridge on the left bank. The original gage, reading from to 17 feet, is nailed to the right side of the upstream post of the fourth bent from the left bank. From 17 to 20 feet the post is graduated to feet and half feet. A new gage, reading from to 10 feet, is fastened to the left-bank side of the upstream post of the third bent from the left bank, this being the first bent in the water at ordinary stages. Another section of the gage, reading from 5 to 10 feet, is fastened to a gum tree on the left bank 25 feet above the bridge. This gage faces the bridge, and is used for the 86 WATER EESOUECES OF GEOEGIA. stages which it covers. The gage is read once each day by J. M. Edwards. Bench marks were estabhshed as follows: (1) The top of the bridge floor at the fourth bent from the left end of the bridge on the upstream side opposite a point 61 feet from the initial point for soundings, marked by a cross and the letters "B. M. " cut in the floor; elevation, 20.00 feet. (2) Two large wire nails driven into the tree to which the third section of the gage is fastened; elevation, 5.30 feet. Two more nails are also driven at the 8-foot mark.

ALTAMAHA RIVER DRAINAGE BASEf . DESCRIPTION OF BASIN. Altamaha River is formed by the junction of Oconee and Ocmulgee rivers, which unite at the southern boundary of Montgomery County, Ga. Ohoopee River is also a tributary, entering from the north side about 50 miles below the junction of the Oconee and Ocmulgee. The Altamaha River drainage is entirely within the State of Georgia. The river rises in the north-central part and flows in a southeasterly direction, emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Darien. Below the junction of the Oconee and Ocmulgee and for a long distance above, on both rivers, there is no great amount of fall. Steamboat navi- gation is carried on from Darien to Macon on the Ocmulgee, and to Dublin, and at times to Milledgeville, on the Oconee. Ohoopee River rises in Washington County and flows in a south- easterly direction to the Altamaha. It flows from the low hills of southeastern Georgia into the flat pine lands. Though it has not so much fall as the more northern streams, it has considerable fall that can be developed into power. Oconee River rises on the southern slope of the Chattahoochee Ridge, in Hill County, and joins the middle Oconee on the southwest boundary of Clarke County. From there it flows in a southeasterly direction to the Altamaha. Apalachee River is a large tributary which rises in Gwinnett and Walton counties and enters the Oconee near the southeastern corner of Morgan County. Little River enters the main stream at the comer of Putnam, Hancock, and Baldwin counties, about 15 miles above Milledgeville, Ga. These tributaries 92 WATEB. RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. have much, fall, and a small part of it is developed. The Oconee has a fall of 250 feet in 45 miles. It has some very large water powers available from its source down to Milledgeville, where it crosses the fall line. Ocmulgee River, the most westerly of the main tributaries, rises in the north-central part of Georgia on the southern slope of the Chattahoochee Ridge in Fulton, Dekalb, and Gwinnett counties. It is formed by the junction of Yellow and South rivers just south of the southern corner of Newton County. Yellow River rises in Gwin- nett County and flows in a southerly direction into the Ocmulgee. South River rises in Fulton and Dekalb counties and flows in a southeasterly direction. Alcovy River joins the Ocmulgee about 5 miles below the junction of the South and Yellow rivers. Towaliga River enters the Ocmulgee at about the southwest corner of Jasper County. All these tributaries rise in and flow through a very hilly country and have a great deal of fall. Ocmulgee River has a fall of over 210 feet in 35 miles. The last_fall of much size is only a few miles above Macon, Ga. STREAM FLOW„ SOUTH RIVER NEAR LITHONIA. This station was established by F. A. Murray on August 17, 1903, a short distance above Albert Shoals, 6 miles south of Lithonia, and was discontinued on December 31, 1904. The channel above the station is nearly straight for about 300 feet, and the current is sluggish, being held back by rock ledges below the station. Below the station the channel curves slightly and the cur- rent is sluggish for about 400 feet, at which point the shoals begin. The right bank is low and overflows at a gage height of 9 or 10 feet into a second channel, which has a width at high water of about 200 feet. The left bank is high and rocky, and does not overflow. The bottom is solid rock. Discharge measurements were made from the 3-span wooden high- way bridge. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge on the right bank, upstream side. The gage is a vertical 10-foot rod fastened to a tree on the right bank just below the bridge. It was read once each day by W. N. New, who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the upstream end of the first wooden floor beam from the right bank; elevation, 15.00 feet above the zero of the gage. Bench mark No. 2 is the center of a wire nail driven horizontally in the upstream side of the base of a willow tree on the left bank about 40 feet upstream from the bridge; elevation, 4.00 feet above the zero of the gage.

This station was established in. 1905 for the purpose of making a series of miscellaneous discharge measurements. It is located at a four-span wooden bridge, known as Butlers Bridge, about 15 miles south from Conyers, and 4 miles above Snapping Shoals, where there is a large amount of fall. The current is smooth and is fairly swift at lowest water. It is broken by one pier at low water. The right bank may overflow beyond the bridge approach at high floods. The left bank will not overflow. The bed is sandy and will probably change. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the downstream end, at the edge of the floor, of the first wooden floor beam from the left end of the third span from the left bank; elevation, 25.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

A station was established July 26, 1901, on Ocmulgee River at Lamars Ferry, one-half mile below Lamar's mill and 5 miles east of Flovilla. The object of this station was to compare the discharge of the river at this point with its discharge below, at Macon, through the low-water season. The gage and bench marks were washed away by a flood February 27, 1902. The station was reestablished June 18, 1903, at Lamars Ferry, by M. R. Hall. The channel is straight for 1,000 feet above and 5,000 feet below the station. The current is swift and regular. The right bank is high, but overflows at extreme high water. The left bank is some- what lower. The bed of the stream is sandy and shifting, and there is but one channel. Discharge measurements are made from the ferryboat. The initial point for soundings is the windlass on the right bank. The vertical gage is in three sections: The first section, reading from to 5 feet, is fastened to a willow tree at the mouth of a small branch about 20 feet above the ferry landing on the right bank; the second section, reading from 5 to 15 feet, is nailed to an ash tree about 60 feet from the river up the same branch; the third section, reading from 15 to 25 feet, is attached to a cottonwood tree on the bank of the same branch, about 200 feet from the river. No attempt was made to place this gage on the same datum as the old one. The gage is read once each day by B. S. White, who is paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. During the low-water period from October 1 to December 31, 1905, the gage was read twice each day. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) A nail driven into a large cottonwood tree about 200 feet from the river, on the branch on which the gage is located; elevation, 14.00 feet. (2) A cross in the solid rock, 100 feet uphill from the first bench mark and 140 feet north from the wagon road, at a point 250 feet west of the ferry; elevation, 34.24 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage. 96 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. Discharge measurements of Ocmulgee River near Flovilla. Date. 1901. July 26 September 12 November 5 1902. February 10 • 1903.

OCMULGEE RIVER AT MACON. A station was established at Macon January 21, 1893, by the United States Weather Bureau. Discharge measurements were begun by the United States Geological Survey in 1895, and a wire gage was established on the bridge of the Macon, Dublin and Savannah Kail- road and was set on the same datum as the Weather Bureau gage. For a time gage-height records were maintained by the Geological Survey, as the Weather Bureau records were for a part of the year only and were discontinued altogether from June 30, 1897, to June 1, 1899. Since June 1, 1899, the Weather Bureau gage-height records have been taken continuously and have been furnished to the Geo- logical Survey. The channel is straight and without obstructions, except for one bridge pier. The banks are high and not subject to overflow. The bed of the river is soft and changeable. The station was a fairly good one until the spring of 1902, when the bed of the stream below the station, which is of shifting sand, changed to such an extent as to make the current very sluggish at low stages. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the Fifth Street Bridge, an iron bridge of two 190-foot spans, located about 500 feet above the railroad bridge. The initial point for soundings is the end of the iron hand rail of the footway at the right bank on the downstream side. The Weather Bureau gage is a heavy timber bolted to the down- stream portion of the right-bank stone pier of the Central of Georgia Railway bridge. October 9, 1905, a standard chain gage was installed on the Fifth Street Bridge, on the outside of the latticed railing of the downstream footway at a point 85 feet .?rom the right-bank end; length of chain, 40.83 feet. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the iron rim of the sidewalk 80 feet from the initial point for soundings; elevation, 34.42 feet. (2) An aluminum tablet on the wall at the west side of the door of the United States Govern- ment building at the Mulberry street front. This bench mark is marked 334 feet and hes an elevation of 64.37 feet above the zero of the gage. ALTAMAHA DKAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 101 Discharge measurements of Ocmulgee River at Macon. Date.

YELLOW RIVER NEAR STONE MOUNTAIN. Tliis station was established in 1905 for the purpose of making a series of miscellaneous measurements. It is located at the single-span bridge known as Sextons Bridge, about 6 miles east from Stone Mountain and 2 J miles above the old Annistown factory site, where there is a large amount of fall. The section is good for measurements, but the bed is sandy and shifting. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the downstream end of the floor beam at the middle of the span; elevation, 21.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage. 3696— iRR 197—07 8 114 WATER EESOUPtCES OF GEORGIA, liiscliargc mcasuirinoits of 1\IIolc Ixivcr near iStonc Mouniain. YELLOW RIVER A P ALMON. A temporary station was maintained from September 12 to Decem- ber 31, 1S97, at a low bridge about 200 yards below the Georgia Rail- road crossing. No records were kept during 1898. On Ma}'^ 9, 1899, the station was reestablished at a wagon bridge about three-fourths of a mile north of the town of Almon and the same distance up the river from the Georgia Railroad crossing. The station was discon- tmued December 31, 1901. The gage is fastened to the side of the upstream post of a bridge bent near the left bank. The bench mark is a railroad spike driven into a s3'^camore tree on the left bank of the river about 100 feet above the bridge; elevation, 7.00 feet above gage datum.

This station was established on April 30, 1901, about 3 miles east of Covington, at a low wooden bridge which is often under water. It was discontinued on December 31, 1904. The banks are low and liable to overflow. The ground on the right bank is low and swampy for several hundred yards and is flooded by a moderate rise. The bed of the stream is sandy and shifting, and the water is sluggish at low stages. Discharge measurements were made from the upstream side of a low, two-span, wooden bridge about 100 feet long. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge floor on the left bank, upstream side. The gage is a vertical rod 10 feet loiig, spiked to a birch tree on the left bank of the river 2 feet from the upstream side of the bridge. The observer was Stephen Belcher, A-LTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 119 a farmer living near, who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. Bench mark No. 2 is a copper plug set in the solid rock on the north edge of the side ditch on the upstream side of the road, 100 feet from the end of the bridge, on the left bank of the river; elevation, 7.82 feet above the zero of the gage.

This station was established September 16, 1905, by M. R. Hall. It is located at a wooden wagon bridge known as "Waters Bridge," about 15 miles south of Covington, Ga., and 5 miles from Stewart, below the mouth of Bear Creek and about 4 miles from the mouth of the river. The station is important because it is a short distance below a large amount of fall at the old Newton factory site. The channel curves to the left bank about 45° in 300 feet above the station, and is straight for 1,000 feet below the station. The right bank is high and will not overflow. The left bank may over- flow about 200 feet at high floods. The channel above and below appears to contain much sand, which is shifting, though the bed is mostly rock in the part under the right span of the bridge, to which nearly all of the flow is confined at lowest stage of water. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of three spans of about 50 feet each. A vertical staff gage is attached to a birch tree at the right edge of the water, 12 feet upstream from the bridge. It is read once each day by A. J. White. The bench mark is a cross and circles cut on a solid rock outcrop at the right edge of the water, just under the downstream side of the bridge; elevation, 2.36 feet above the datum of the gage. 124 WATEE RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

The drainage basin of this stream occupies a small area in central Georgia, its headwater tributary adjoining those of Flint River on the west, and small creeks draining into the Ocmulgee on the east. The river is a tributary of Ocmulgee River, entering it 25 miles above Macon. The area drained is a rolling country and extensively culti- vated. A gaging station was established by B. M. Hall near its mouth, at the Southern Railway bridge, 2| miles north of Juliette on May 5, 1899, but observations of gage heights were not started until November 2. The station was discontinued December 31, 1901. At low stages measurements were made at the wagon bridge a half mile above the railroad bridge. W. L. Jackson, a farmer living a half mile from the bridge, was the observer. His address is Berner, Ga. The rod is nailed to the timber crib at the base of the left- bank pier of the iron single-span bridge. Bench mark No. 1 is at the top of the downstream iron girder under the cross-ties 40 feet from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 37.30 feet above gage datum. Bench mark No. 2 is at the top of the rail at the same point; elevation, 38.80 feet above gage datum. Discharge measurements of Towaliga River near Juliette. Date.

Middle Oconee River rises in Hall County and flows southeastward through Jackson and Clarke counties to its junction with the East Fork, 6 miles below Athens. It drains a rolling area of 300 square miles. Measurements were begun at Athens on October 11, 1901, the sta- tion having been established by Prof. C. M. Strahan, of the University 128 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. of Georgia. It is located on a wagon bridge, known as Mitchells Bridge, on the Athens and Lawrenceville road, 3^ miles from Athr and about 7^ miles above the junction of Middle Oconee with , eastern fork. It is 4 miles above the dam of the Princeton factory, t 8-foot shoal intervening, and one-third of a mile below the dam of th. Athens Electric Railway Company. The station was discontinued on October 25, 1902. The channel is straight and unobstructed except by remains of old piers just inside the present piers, the old piers being covered at a gage height of 3 feet. The banks are high and the approaches short. The water rises rapidly in time of flood, the maximum gage height being 22.9 feet and the average gage height 2.5 to 3 feet. Discharge measurements were made from the bridge, which is of the covered wooden lattice type. The initial point for soundings is a spike at the west end of the north bridge truss. The gage is of wire, mounted on the north truss, near the east end of the bridge. It is protected by a plank cover and locked. The bench mark is the top of the lower chord at the gage pulley, 26.85 feet above the river bottom which is the zero point of the gage, the latter being set to read zero when the weight touches the bottom. The graduations are laid off on the lower chord 20 feet and can be extended to 26 feet. Discharge measurements of Middle Oconee River at Athens. Date. October 11... October 26... December 31. 1901.

OCONEE RIVER AT CAREY. This station, which was estabhshed October 29, 1896, is located at an iron girder deck bridge on the Georgia Raih'oad at the station of Carey, 6 miles west of Greensboro, and just below the junction of the Apalachee and Oconee rivers. Both banks are low and liable to overflow under the trestles to the end of embankments. The bed of the stream is rocky and the current good. The top of the iron girder 20 feet from the left-bank end of the bridge on the downstream side is 41.13 feet above the datum of the gage heights. The rating was evidently affected by the dam several miles below, and for this reason the station was abandoned March 31, 1898. Discharge measurements of Oconee River at Carey. Date. 1896.

An inspection of the conditions at Macon and other stations shows that this period did not include the lowest water of the year but that the minimum occurred during the first two weeks in October. Leaving out of account this penod of sudden apparent low water, the lowest gage reading at Gary was 1.10 on Octoljer 4. A measurement made on that day at 1.08 showed a discharge of 381 second-feet. OCONEE RIVER AT FRALEYS FERRY, NEAR MILLEDGEVILLE. This station is located at Fraleys Ferry, about 6 miles above Mil- ledgeville, and about 4 miles below the mouth of Little River. This point being above the dam at Milledgeville, the river has a nearl}^ natural flow, being but slightly afi^ected by the dams a great distance upstream. The channel is straight for some distance above and below the station. The current is moderate or slow at low stages. The bed is sandy and changing, but the rock shoals below will probably con- trol the water level at the station. Discharge measurements are made from the ferryboat or from a small boat controlled by the ferry cable along which the distances ALTAMAHA DEAIlSrAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW, 139 are marked. Measurements can be made at low and medium stages only, as the current is too great for safety in boat measurements at the higher stages. During a short period in October and November, 1905, gage-height records were maintained by Charles F. Howe, who put in a temporary" gage and has furnished the records to the Geological Survey. These gage heights, which are the mean of four readings dail}^, and the dis- charge measurements which were made, form a nuich more accurate basis for estimating the flow for the period which they cover than the records for the station at Milledgeville, 6 miles below. The bench mark is a nail driven horizontally into an ash tree on the right bank about 200 feet above the ferry; elevation, 10.00 foet above the datum of the gage.

Hall, though several discharge measurements were made before that time, the first being made October 19, 1895, by C. C. Babb. The bench mark to which the present gage is referred was used for each of these early measurements. The station is located at the iron highway bridge in the eastern part of Milledgeville. At low water the river is about 300 feet wide, including two piers, and often a sand bar of considerable extent in the third span. This bar sometimes practically stops the third-span channel, leaving the river about 200 feet wide. The bed is sandy and shifting and the water is shallow and swift. These conditions are unfavorable to 40 WATI'lH ItKSOlIlU'KK Ol*' (nOOROlA. n,c(Mii)il.(^ mcnsiircMiKMilM jis well as ii consliuit fiiiinj;'. Tlio channo] is only sli}j;hily cni'vcd.

A station was established by the United States Weather Bureau in 1894 at DubHn, Ga., about 60 miles above the junction of the Oconee with the Ocmulgee. Records were kept, with the exception of the summer months of 1896, until April 30, 1897, when the station was discontinued. In 1898 discharge measurements were commenced by the United States Geological Survey, and February 11 an observer was employed to read the gage. - October 15, 1898, the Weather Bureau again adopted the station and has maintained the gage and furnished gage heights to the Geological Survey continuously since that time. The ordinary width of the river is about 235 feet. At a gage height of about 20 feet the left bank begins to overflow, and is practically covered to the end of the approach at 25 feet. This ground is thickly covered with a brushy growth, which will no doubt cause the velocity of the water overflowing it to be small. The right bank does not ALTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW, 143 overflow. The bed of the stream is of loose rock, sand, and gravel. The channel is straight and the current is swift and fairly uniform, except where it is broken by the three bridge piers. Discharge measurements are made from the iron highway bridge, which consists of a draw span between two other spans of 75 feet each. The total length of the bridge proper is 320 feet. On the left bank, which is low, there are 1,100 feet of iron-frame trestle approach. There is also a short trestle on the right bank, which is high. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank, on the upstream side. The gage is a heavy timber bolted to the downstream side of the center pier of the Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad bridge, 500 feet downstream from the highway bridge. The bridge is a drawbridge, and the pier to which the gage is attached is the circular center pier of the draw span. A secondary sloping gage, reading from —1.6 to +1.9 feet, is attached to a solid rock on the right bank about 25 feet above the railroad bridge. The gage is read once each day by H. F. Mathis. Bench marks were estab- lished as follows: (1) The top of the upstream end of the floor beam on top of the first tubular pier of the wagon bridge from the right bank; elevation, 41.30 feet. (2) A point on the fifth step from the bottom at the south entrance of the court-house, 6 inches from the east end of the step; elevation, 82.51 feet.

R. Hall. It is located at the iron wagon bridge over Apalachee River, about SJ miles north of Buckhead. At ordinary stages the channel is about 80 feet wide, and is only slightly curved above and below the bridge. The bed of the stream is part rock and part sand. The current is moderately swift and is somewhat broken and irregular on account of the ruins of old pier bases about 50 feet upstream. The right bank is low for a distance of 400 feet and will overflow at a gage height of 10 feet. The low portion is thickly covered with trees and a brushy growth, which will greatly retard the flood water passing over it. The left bank is high and will not overflow, except to a short distance up the steep slope. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the bridge, the initial point being the outside of the iron pier at the left bank, downstream side. The bridge is a single span 103 feet long, sup- ported by tubular piers. Its trestle approaches are about 500 feet long on the right bank and about 100 feet on the left. The original gage consisted of two sections. The first section, read- ing from to 10 feet, was fastened to a small ash tree on the left bank about 100 feet below the bridge, and the second, reading from 6 to 20 feet, was nailed to the upstream post of the last wooden bent next to the iron bridge, on the right bank. March 22, 1905, a standard chain gage was attached to the upstream side of the bridge, in the third panel from the right bank; length of the chain, 30.70 feet. The gage is read once each day by G. A. J. Adams, except for three months during low water, when readings are made twice each day. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the first floor beam from the right bank; elevation, 25.50 feet above datum of gage. (2) A copper plug set in solid rock 10 feet west of the upstream tubular pier on the right bank and 3 feet up- stream from the line of the upper edge of the bridge; elevation, 3.73 feet above datum of gage.

OHOOPEE RIVER NEAR REIDSVILLE. This station was established June 13, 1903, by F. A. Murray. It is located at the wooden highway bridge, known as Sheppards Bridge, 4 J miles west of Reidsville. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the bridge. The initial point for soundings is the outer edge of the first crossbeam at the left end of the bridge, downstream side. The origi- nal gage consisted of two 5-foot sections spiked to the bridge and a third section fastened to a cypress tree on the left bank above the bridge. June 10, 1905, the gage was changed to the right side of the second bent from the left bank; it is fastened to -the bent in four 5-foot sections. The gage is read by J. D. Swain, who is paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the cap of the fifth bent from the left end of the bridge on the upstream side, opposite a point 106 feet from the initial point for soundings; elevation, 20.00 feet; (2) two nails driven horizontally into the downstream side of a cypress tree on the left bank, about 120 feet above the bridge; elevation, 8.00 feet.

The elevations in the followmg lists are based upon an aluminum tablet at the Washington street entrance of the State capitol buildmg at Atlanta, marked "1050 M. C," the elevation of which is accepted as 1,049.546 feet above mean sea level. The leveling on South River is adjusted to accord with elevations of precise-level bench marks at Constitution, Holton, and Macon, by the 1903 adjustment. The leveling was done in 1903 for the United States Geological Survey by Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the direction of F. A. Franck, field assistant.

This stati()n was established June 10, 1002, by M. R. TIalL It is lofiated at Medhjck's toll bridge, about 4i miles north of Norcross. This point is above the mouth of Johns Creek and below the mouth of Suwanee Creek. '^rhe channel is .slightly curved for 600 feet above and 700 feet below the station. The current is sluggish at low stages, but not excess- ively so, and the discharge measurements are considered good at t?ie lowest stage. The right bank is high and will overflow only for 50 feet from the water's edge; the left bank will overflow for about 800 feet at a gage height of from 16 to 18 feet. The bed of the stream is sandy and probably changes. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the single-span bridge and its approaches. The initial point for soundings is 50 feet to the right of the center of the downstream tubular pier on the right bank. The original gage was a vertical staff attached to an oak tree on the right bank 100 feet above the bridge. A chain gage, established March 14, 1903, was read in connection with the vertical gage until 188 WATER EESOUECES OF GEORGIA. June 28, 1905, when a standard chain gage was attached to the downstream lower chord of the lirst panel from the right bank; length of chain, 30.36 feet. The gage is read twice each day by W. O. Medlock. The bench mark is the top of the iron pier on the right bank, downstream side; elevation, 27.00 feet. Discharge measurements of Cliattahoochcc Rivrr near Norcross. 190S.

This station was established in 1905 at a new iron highway bridge 1 mile east of Vinings and about 10 miles northwest of Atlanta. It 'is about 10 miles below the developed power at Bull Sluice. The current of the section is fairly good and regular. The bed is probably somewhat shifting, but there is a stretch of swift water immediately below, running among permanent rocks which will prob- ably control the water level at the station. The left bank is high and will not overflow; the right bank is only about 20 feet above low water for a width of 900 feet and will overflow during very high floods. Discharge measurements are made from a bridge of two 140-foot spans, with 50 feet of wooden approach at the left bank and 100 feet at the right bank. No gage has been established. The effect of the water power above being to cause a great amount of fluctuation in the flow, the mean daily gage height can be obtained only by the use of an automatic recording gage, and until this is installed the measurements are made mainly as investigations relative to the accuracy of the rating in case the original Chattahoochee River station, which was located at Oakdale, 4 miles below, should be continued at this place. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, wliich is the top of the upstream end of the second floor beam from the left bank; eleva- tion, 31.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

This station was estabhshed at Oakdale on October 17, 1895, by C3nrus C. Babb. It is located at the Southern Railway bridge, 1 mile above the mouth of Proctor Creek, 2 miles below the mouth of Peach- tree Creek, one-fourth mile west of Chattahoochee, 1 mile east of Oak- dale, and 8 miles northwest of Atlanta. The flow is obstructed by rafts, which have to be cleared from the channel occasionally. The channel is straight and the current swift. The banks are subject to overflow. The bed of the stream is constant, and the results are fairly good except at high stages, when the water flows through the trestle work. 192 WATER EESOURCES OF UEORGTA.

On Jnly 1, 1S9S. the kx-ation of tlie station was changed io ^lason and Tnrners Ferry, 1 mile below Oakdale. The gage at this point, known as the "Oakdale knver gage," is nailed to a tree on the right bank, 100 feet below the ferry, and set 1 foot lower than the gage at the Southern Railway bridge. On June 1, 1S99, the lower gage was dis- continued and the upper gage resumed and adopted by the United States Weather Biu-eau, the United States Geological Survey still recei^^ng the records and maldng the current-meter discharge meas- urements at tliis point. The gage now used is in two sections, the fii'st, reading from zero to S feet, fastened to a willow tree 100 feet above the bridge on the left bank; the second, reading from 8 to 26 feet, fastened to an ash tree 30 feet above the bridge on the left bank. It is set on the same datnm as the old wire gage of the United States Geological Siu-vey established at that point by Mr. Babb hi 1S95, and above referred to. Its zero point is 753.5 feet above sea level. The observer was J. B. Austin. Bench mark No. 2 is a large bridge spike in a sycamore tree about 50 feet above the bridge on the left bank; elevation, 11.00 feet above the zero of the guge. Bench mark No. 3, determined by measuring down to the water, is the top of the iron girder, 40 feet from the initial point for soundings, on the upstream side of the bridge; elevation, 57.55 feet above the zero of the gage. The station was discontinued by the Weather Bureau on November 30, 1904, but the single dail}" readings for several months before that time are not considered rehable as representing the flow of the river, on account of the operation of a large water-power plant above. Only the records for the first five months of that year are used. The station was reestablished in 1905 at a new iron liighway bridge just below the old Mason and Turners Ferry, where the Oakdale "lower gage" was maintained as a regular station during parts of the years 1S9S and 1899. It is 1^ miles below the Southern Railway bridge where the Oakdale station was located. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two 130-foot spans, \\ith 300 feet of wooden approach at the right bank and 730 feet at the left. At liigh floods both banks will overflow to the extent of the bridge approaches, but can not get beyond at either end. The cm-rent is mostly swift and is irregular at places. Gage heights are determined directly fi'om the bench mark, wliicli is the top of the do^^^lstrean^ end of the second floor beam from the right bank; elevation, 35.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

SOQUE RIVER NEAR DEMOREST. This station was established July 16, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is located at Cannon Bridge, on the road from Cornelia to Acorn, 2 J miles from Demorest and about 4 miles above the mouth of the river. The channel is curved for 500 feet above and slightly curved for 500 feet below the station. The current is swift. Both banks are high and wooded; the right overflows during extreme high water. The bed of the stream is composed largely of rock and is permanent. There is but one channel at all stages. Discharge measurements are made from the single-span wooden wagon bridge, which has a 28-foot approach on the left bank and a 90-foot approach on the right bank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge on the upstream side at the left bank. The gage is in two sections: The first is a vertical staff, reading from to 10 feet, fastened to the sill and upstream post of the trestle bent at the left bank. An additional section, established Septem- ber 12, 1905, is a vertical staff, reading from 0.7 foot to 6 feet, fastened to the stump of an iron wood tree on the right bank about 20 feet above the bridge. The gage is read once each day by Charles Cannon. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the upstream end of the right-bank wooden pier, marked with white paint; elevation, 21.20 feet. (2) A nail in the stump of the iron- wood tree to which the second section of the gage is attached; eleva- tion, 6.00 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage. 212 WATEK KESOUECES OF GEOEGIA.

R. Hall. It is located at the south side of Lithia Springs Park, near Austell. The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and 200 feet below the gage. The current is sluggish above the gage; below it is swift for about 50 feet at several places, with sluggish water between. Both banks are high and wooded, the right being composed of rock, and are not liable to overflow. There is but one channel at all stages. Dis- charge measurements are made from a boat at low and ordinary a No monthly estimates have been attempted for this station on account of the erratic plotting of the discharge measurements. 214 WATER RESOURCES OP GEORGIA. slagcs about 400 yards below the Kai>;e. lii^li-water ineasureinents are made from Strickland's wagon bridge, 1^1 miles down stream. The gage is in two sections: The first is an inclined staff, reading to 8 feet, fastened to solid rock on the right bank; the second is a ver- tical stafi^, reading from 8 to 16 feet, fastened to a maple tree on the right bank about 100 feet upstream. The gage is read twice each day by J. L. Causey. Boncli marks are: (1) A nail in a small maple on the right bank about 200 feet below the gage; elevation, 5.00 feet. (2) A cross cut on a large ro&k about 10 feet south of the sloping sec- tion of the gage; elevation, 10.00 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

This station was established June 23, 1904, by W. E. Hall. It is located at Mitchells Bridge, about 16 miles north of Columbus and 12 miles south of Hamilton. Mulberry Creek is a tributary of Chatta- hoochee River, entering it about 6 miles west of the station. The channel is straight for about 50 feet above and 200 feet below the bridge. The current is rather sluggish above and swift below the station. Both banks are high and not liable to overflow; the right is clean; the left is wooded and covered with brush. The bed of the stream is composed of rock and sand, with but one channel at all stages, broken by one wooden pier. The bottom is very uneven, causing the current to change direction during low water. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the two-span highway bridge, resting upon stone abutments and center wooden pile bent. The initial point for soundings is the left end of the bridge on the downstream side. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the downstream end of the wooden cap of center pile bent; elevation, 32.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage. 216 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.

In May, 1897, a station was established on Flint River at the bridge of the Georgia Midland division of the Southern Railway, about half- way from Atlanta to Columbus. The alternate filling and washing out of sand in an eddy about one-half mile below the station so affected the stream that the fluctuations shown by the gage had no fixed relation to the quantity of water flowing in the river. After this fact developed the station was abandoned and reestablished near Woodbury, at the Macon and Birmingham railroad bridge, about 3 miles lower down the river. The following discharge measurements were made < at the Molina station before it was abandoned. They are accurate, and as they are nearly distributed over a period of one year — from May, 1897, to May, 1898 — they give a fair idea of the flow of the stream during that time. Measurement No. 5 shows the lowest discharge and is undoubt- edly very near the minimum of this stream for 1897. Discharge ■measurements of Flint River at Molina. Date. Gage height. Dis- charge.

Measurements of the flow of Flint River were made during 1897 and 1898 at Molina, but the river bed was so shifting that the station was discontinued June 2, 1898. Two measurements were made in 1899 at the Macon and Birmingham Railroad bridge near Woodbury, 5 miles below the Molina station. March 29, 1900, a gage was put in near this bridge and the station was reestablished. The channel above and below the station is slightly curved for 800 feet. Above gage height 10 feet the banks are subject to over- flow for a width of 300 or 400 feet, but all water passes beneath the bridge and its approaches. The bridge and its piers are oblique to APALACHTCOLA DEAINAGE BASIN", STEEAM FLOW. 217 the direction of the current, and the bed is rough and irregular and mostly permanent. Discharge measurements are made from the Macon and Birming- ham Railroad bridge. This is a two-span iron bridge, each span being 150 feet long and supported by brick piers. There are wooden trestle approaches about 150 feet long on the right bank and 225 feet long on the left. The initial point for soundings is the end of the iron bridge on the right bank, downstream side. The gage is in 5-foot sections; the part reading from zero to 10 feet is attached to a willow tree on the left bank about 300 feet above the bridge and 50 feet below Riggins's old ferry; the section reading from 10 to 15 feet is fastened to a sweet-gum tree 50 feet from the left bank and 150 feet upstream from the bridge. This gage was maintained by the Georgia Geological Survey until November 1, 1900, when it was adopted by the United States Weather Bureau. The observer is G. A. Wright, who is paid by the Weather Bureau. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the second and third crossbeams from the left-bank end of the bridge; elevation, 27.00 feet; (2) a copper plug set in solid rock on the west side of the river about 100 feet from the water and 100 feet upstream from a point opposite the gage; elevation, 16.29 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage, which is 660 feet above sea level. Discharge measurements of Flint River near Woodbury. Date. 1899. June 29 August 29 1900.

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 223 FLINT RIVER NEAR MONTEZUMA. This station is located at the iron highway bridge about 1 mile west of Montezuma. Some discharge measurements had already been made at this point when the United States Weather Bureau established a standard chain gage on the bridge, late in 1904. Dur- ing 1905 the daily gage heights were furnished by the Weather Bureau. The channel is slightly curved above and below the station, which is near the point of reverse between the curves. The current is moderate. The right bank, which is mostly covered with a dense growth of brush, will overflow for a great distance at about 12 feet above low water; the left bank is not apt to overflow. The bed is sandy and probably shifting and the current is slow at low stage, especially near the left bank. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two 100-foot spans, with a short trestle approach on the left bank and a very long one across the marshy ground on the right bank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the left-bank approach, downstream side. The gage is located on the upstream side of the right span of the bridge near the middle pier. The bench mark is the top of the up- stream tubular pier at the middle of the bridge; elevation, 28.00 feet above the datum of the gage. Discharge measurements of Flint River near Montezuma.

This station was originally established by the United States Weather Bureau April 10, 1893, and has been maintained from that date to the present. Discharge measurements by the Geological Sur- vey were begun at this station in 1901, and the gage-height records furnished by the Weather Bureau have been used, except for a portion of the year 1903. The present observer, D. W. Brosnan, is paid by the Weather Bureau. The channel above the station is straight for about 1,000 feet and is rough. Below the station the channel is straight for 700 feet. The river overflows both banks, but only under the approaches to the bridge. The bed is constant, but rough, and the current is irregular. Discharge measurements are made from the Atlantic Coast Line two-span railroad bridge, which is 325 feet long, with 475 feet of trestle approach on the right bank and 240 feet on the left bank. The initial point for soundings is the center of the tubular iron pier on the upstream side of the bridge on the left bank. The gage was washed out and replaced in 1898. It-was again injured in 1902, and was replaced by a new gage June 17, 1902. The new gage was set 0.75 foot lower than the old gage as it existed prior to June 17, APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASUsT, STREAM FLOW. 225 1902. The gage heights were corrected from January 1 to June 17, 1902, inclusive, to correspond with the new gage. The Weather Bureau gage is attached to the Dougherty County Bridge, located about 700 feet below the Atlantic Coast Line bridge. It is in three sections. No. 1 is attached to the crib around the middle piers and extends to 4 feet above zero; No. 2 is spiked to a green cypress tree just above the bridge on the west bank of the river, and reads from 2 to 17 feet; No. 3 is spiked to a cedar post 16 feet high. This section begins at 17 feet and reads to 32 feet, which is 2^ feet above any high water known since 1840. A. standard chain gage belonging to the United States Geological Survey was installed April 20, 1904. It is fastened to the hand rail- ing of the downstream footway of the Dougherty County Bridge near the middle of the west span. The gage was accurately set to corre- spond with the bench marks previously established, and its readings agree with the standard portion of the Weather Bureau gage. The bottom of the box is 45.34 feet above the zero of the gage, and the length of the chain is 47.34 feet. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) A copper plug set in the downstream corner of the brick abutment on the right bank under the Dougherty County Bridge; elevation 33.81 feet. (2) The top of the first crossbeam from the right bank, upstream end of the railroad bridge; elevation, 43.20 feet. Discharge measureinents of Flint River at Albany.

This station was established in 1904. It is located at the highway bridge about 5 miles southwest of Thomaston, 200 yards above Daniel's old gristmill. The channel is curved for about 200 feet above and straight for 300 feet below the staticm. The current is fairly swift, except at very low stages. Both banks are subject to occasional overflow. The bed of 230 WATEK EESOUECES OF GEORGIA. the stream is composed of rock and gravel, free from vegetation, and probably constant. There is but one channel at all stages, broken during the higher water by the piers of the bridge. Discharge measure- ments are made from the downstream side of the single-span iron bridge, which has trestle approaches of about 100 feet at each end. The initial point for soundings is the left end of the bridge on the downstream side. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench marks, which are as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the first floor beam from the left bank; elevation, 23.00 feet. (2) A chisel mark on the intermediate post at the downstream end of the second floor beam; elevation, 28.00 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the assumed gage.

MUCKALEE CREEK NEAR LEESBURG. This station was established in 1905 in connection with the regular station on Kinchafoonee Creek. It is located about 3 miles east of Leesburg, at a wooden highway bridge consisting of two truss spans, with trestle approaches of about 50 feet on each side. The current is slow at low water. The right bank will overflow at moderately high water for a long distance. Gage heights are deter- mined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the upstream end of the wooden cap of the middle bent of the bridge; elevation, 17.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

It was located at a wagon bridge 3 miles north of Albany, and a short distance below the mouth of Kinchafoonee Creek. APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 231 The channel was straight for 300 feet above the station and for 200 feet below, and the current was regular and of moderate velocity. Both banks were high and did not overflow. The bed was rocky and probably permanent, the river flowing in one channel at all stages. Backwater from the Flint River affected the discharge at high stages. Discharge measurements were made from the single-span highway bridge and its approaches. During 1905 the station was deeply cov- ered with water by a large water-power development just below.

KINCHAFOONEE CREEK NEAR LEESBURG. This station was established August oO, 1905, by F. A.Murray. It is located at the iron highway bridge 1 niile east of Leesburg, Ga. The channel is nearly straight for about 400 feet above and below the station, and the current is mostly swift. The right bank is lower than the bridge and will probably overflow at times around the end of the bridge approach; the left bank will not overflow. The bed of the stream is sandy, and the current is good, except for a small amount of sluggish water at the left bank. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the single-span bridge. The initial point for soundings is the left end of the bridge. The present gage is a temporary vertical rod, intended for low- water observations, wliich is attached to a cypress tree at the right edge of the water 150 feet above the bridge. It is read by J. M. Jolmson. The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the second floor beam from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 23.00 feet above the datum of the srage.

It was located at the wagon bridge 3 miles north of Albany, Ga., 200 feet below the Central of Georgia Railroad bridge and about one-half mile above the mouth of the creek. The channel is curved both above and below the station. Both banks are high and all water passes beneath the bridge and its approaches. The bed is probably somewhat shifting. Discharge measurements were made from the single-span highway bridge and its approaches, which cross the river at an angle to the direction of the current. During 1905 the station was deeply covered with water by a large water-power development just below.

This station was established August 29, 1905, by F. A. Murray. It is located at the wagon bridge at Milford, 9 miles east of Leary, the railway point from which it is reached. The channel is straight for 800 feet above and below the bridge. The current is moderately swift and is smooth except where it is broken by the bridge bents. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the bridge, an old wooden structure supported by bents, six of which are in the water at ordinary stages. The initial point for soundings is the end of the hand rail at the left bank, down- stream side. The present gage is a temporary staff for low-water observations attached to the downstream post of the first bent from the left bank. It is read once each day by W. J. Kidd. Bench marks are as follows: (1) The top of the upstream cap of the first bent from the left bank; elevation, 15.00 feet, (2) A nail in a cypress tree at the left edge of the water, 30 feet below the bridge; elevation, 10.00 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage. Discharge measurements of Ichawaynochaway CreeTc at Milford. Date. Dis- charge. August 29., October 16. 1905.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER. ** The elevations along Chattahoochee River are based on the follow- ing surveys: The portion from Columbus to West Point was surveyed in August, 1902, by W. E. Hall, levelman, under the direction of B. M. Hall, United States Geological Survey. The portion from West Point to Franklin was surveyed in 1899 by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army. The portion from Franklin to Oakdale was surveyed in 1903 by Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the direction of Fred A. Franck, United States Geological Survey. The elevations along tliis part of the stream are based on an aluminum tablet at the Washing- ton street entrance to the State capitol building at Atlanta, marked " 1050 M. C." The portion from Oakdale to the mouth of Chestatee River was surveyed in 1902 by Felder Furlow, levelman, under the direction of B. M. Hall, United States Geological Survey. The eleva- tions between the mouth of Chestatee River and Nacoochee were determined in 1903 by'Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the direction of F. A. Franck, field assistant. United States Geological Survey. These elevations are based on an aluminum tablet at Nacoochee, marked '' 1439 Atlanta", in the ledge of rock 200 feet west of ford of Chattahoochee River, the elevation of wliich is now accepted as 1,348.259 feet above main sea level. The adjustment of this line was accomplished in conjunction with leveling on the Chestatee and Soque rivers, tied at Willow and Clarksville, and by an extra check at Pole, to primary level circuits, and accords with the 1908 adjustment of the precise level net. In order to give a continuous profile of the river, the levels of these several surveys have been, adjusted to accord with the elevations determined for the portion between Franklin and Oakdale. It is not expected, however, that the bench marks of one survey will exactly accord with those of another. o For survey of Chattahoochee River from junction -with Flint River to Columbus, Ga., see Report of Chief of Engineers, U.S.A., 1872, pp. 584, 623; and Report of Chief of Engineers, U.S.A., 1873, pp. 699-700.

In May, 1900, a survey was made of Flint River from the Geologi- cal Survey gaging station, about 3 miles east of Woodbury, Ga., on the Macon and Birmingham Railroad bridge over the river, to the line of the Creek Agency Reserve near Roberta and Knoxville, a distance of 45.4 miles downstream. The work was done b}^ Mr. D. L. Wardroper, under the supervision of B. M. Hall, resident hydrog- rapher. In this 45 miles the river cuts through Pine Mountain, the western coast range of the State, and descends with a total fall of 334 feet. The elevations are all above sea level, being taken from the track of the Atlanta and Columbus line of the Southern Rail- way, in front of the station at Woodbury, which is 780 feet above sea level. From this the zero of the Woodbury River gage was found to be 659.63 feet above sea level.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER. In the foregoing lists of water-surface elevations several surveys have been put together, so as to give a continuous chain of elevations, and, for the main river, the distance of each point noted is given in miles above Columbus. Objects along the river are also noted and serve to locate and make it possible to identify each point at which the surface elevation is given. 254 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. The fall at any point or between any points can therefore be de- termined, and the amount of water flowing at it can be estimated from the records of the hydrographic stations at West Point, Oak- dale, Norcross, Buford, and Gainesville, and from miscellaneous measurements. At Columbus is the fall line, and immediately above are located the largest falls on the river. Here a large amount of water power has been in use for many years. The developed water powers are: (1) Eagle and Phoenix dam, operating the Eagle and Phoenix, and Muscogee mills; fall 26 feet. (2) City Mills dam; fall 9 feet. (3) Columbus Power Company's dam and tailrace; fall 40 feet. The last mentioned was completed in 1902. The stone dam is located above the foot of the shoals, a considerable portion of the head being obtained by excavating for the tail-water. Water is backed three-fourths mile above the dam, and reaches the foot of a very fine shoal, the Chattahoochee Falls Com- pany's property, where there is a fall of 40 feet in little more than 1 mile. The old Clapp factory was located on this property and the power was supplied by a wing dam, about half of the fall being used. The present owners of the property have secured water rights along the river above, which will enable them to develop a much higher head and will also give a larger storage. The fall from the upper line of the original property to foot of shoals on Ogletree's land is 21 feet in 7 miles. From this point up to the lower end of Hargetts Island, 10 miles above, the fall is 150 feet. Along this portion of the river the banks are high and rockjr. The river is mostly wide and full of islands, but at several places the banks come close together, affording excellent sites for high dams, in some cases not more than 600 feet long. In the 7 miles from Hargetts Island to the foot of Riverview dam the fall is 42 feet. At the Riverview mills and Langdale mills there are developed powers, each using 10 or 12 feet of fall. Above the Langdale mills up to West Point the amount of fall is small. Between West Point and Franklin the fall is 75 feet in 38 miles, averaging about 2 feet a mile. The fall is not uniformly dis- tributed, however, and it is probable that some really good power developments could be made. At Franklin, where there is an excellent site for a dam, extensive surveys have beeninade for one 32 feet high, which would back water 8^ miles, to the head of Fishtrap Shoals. Tliis proposed de- velopment includes Bushyhead Shoals and several others not so large. From here to the foot of Mcintosh Shoals the fall i? only 1 1 feet in 11 miles. At Mcintosh Shoals there is a fall of 8 feet in one-half mile. Above this shoal up to the mouth of Peachtree Creek, above Atlanta, the fall is 66 feet in 47 miles. Three miles above is the dam APALACHTCOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER. 255 site of a proposed development of 32 feet, for which complete surveys have been made. At Bull Sluice, 4 miles below Roswell, is the new electric power plant of the Atlanta Water Power and Electric Company. The dam is a massive concrete structure, 48 feet high, which with the 2-foot flashboards, gives a head of 50 feet. This plant is fully equipped with the most modern type of water wheels and electric generators. The combined capacity of the water wheels is greatly in excess of the normal low-water flow of the river, thus providing for a large increase of power from stored water, and at times when the flow of the river is increased. The power is all transmitted electrically to Atlanta. Backwater from this dam, when flashboards are used, reaches a point just under the wagon bridge at Roswell. In the 26 miles above Roswell, reaching to Bowmans Island, near Buford, there is a fall of about 57 feet, the drop being as much as 5 or 6 feet to the mile in a few places. At Bowmans Island is a proposed site for a 50-foot dam to back water 14 miles up to mouth of Chestatee River. From the mouth of Chestatee River, up to the mouth of Little River, there are a number of small shoals aggregating 28 feet of fall. Beginning a short distance above Little River is a series of shoals, which has recently been developed by the North Georgia Electric Company. The dam of this plant is located a quarter of a mile above the foot of the shoals, leaving about 7 feet of the fall undevel- oped. It is a log crib structure entirely filled with rock and is 36 feet high. The power is transmitted electrically from the plant. Back- water extends 8 miles, to above Clarks Bridge. In the next 11 miles, up to Belton, the fall is about 30 feet and includes several shoals and some good sites for dams. In the next 9 miles, extending to mouth of Soque River, the fall is 81 feet, including Harrisons Shoals, Perkins Shoals, and a series of shoals above and below Duncans Bridge, the latter series having a fall of 20 feet in Ij miles. Above the mouth of the Soque River is a series of shoals, with a total fall of 106 feet in 4^ miles. Along this part of the river the banks are steep and rocky, and there are numerous good dam sites. WATER POWERS ON SOQUE RIVER. In 5^ miles above the mouth of the river the fall is 30 feet, including several small shoals. One mile downstream from Porter Mills there is an undeveloped fall of 6 feet in about 50 yards, with 7 feet of fall above, to the foot of Porter Shoals. At Porter Mills is the Porter Shoals, an almost vertical drop of 48 feet and by far the best waterfall on the river. This is partly developed by a small wing dam, the 2f)() WATEll III'IWOUKCKS Oi<' GEORGIA. ])()W('i' bcinfi; used to oix'ral.c Porlx'i-'s woolen aiul cotton factory, 4 miles IVom Deiiiorest, the iieacest I'nilroad ])oint.

A much ^rc^att^r head could be obtained here by increasing the height of the dajn. One and one-half jniles above Porter Mills is a good water-power site, known as the Old Kactoiy vShoids, where there is a fall of 2'A feet in a distance of (iOO feet. This was utilized al. one tijue, but nil signs of the dam have vanished. WA'rKK, I'OWKItS ON < UI lOSl'A'rKK RIVIOll. From th(>. iuouth of the I'iver up to the fool, of iJie Nor'th Oeorgia Electric (yompany's dam, at Newbridge, a distanc(^ of 171 miles, the fall is 83 feet. This inchides three small darns and a num})er of undeveloped shoals, but no especially favorable sites for large powers. The North Georgia EkH'.tric Company's dam is 27 feet high, and is made of log cribs fdl(Ml with I'ock, and backs water about 8j miles. Above this dam there is a lai'ge amount of fall and many good ])ower sites, some of which are developed and used to operate machinery connected with gold mining. Most of the undeveloped powers are owned or controlled by various mining companies. WA'I'IOU, roWIOItS ON KMN'r KIVKR. 'J'he country rock in the Flint iiiver basin over the range of the preceding elevations is vitrified sajidstone or ((uart/ite, forming line blulFs and occasional narrow gorges suitable for dam sites. It is easily quarried, and comes out in squai-e blocks that are excellent for building dams. The first shoals, known as the Drij)]>ing Rock Shoals, begin n(>ar the mouth of Cane Creek, about 3,000 fe(>t below tiie bi'idge, and fall 23.7 feet in about 2 miles. In the next 2 miles, (u- to a, point about 1 mile below the mouth of Pigeon Creek, tlu> river falls oidy 6 leot. Then shoals begin which have a practically uniform fall of 10.5 feet ])er mile for a distance of 8^ miles, or to Double Bridges (Gibson's old ferry), the total fall in that distance being 90 feet. From that ])oint to the north boundary of the twenty-third land district, the fall is 20 feet in a distance of 4,700 feet. Jn the next 3 miles, or to i\w head of the Yellow Jacket Shoals, tiuM-e is a total fall of 22 feet. The Yellow ,la-ck(>t Shoals are the linest on (he riv(M'.

In fact a much larger head would be avail- able by building a 42-foot dam at the head of the Yellow Jacket Shoals and taking the water in a canal to a point opposite the foot of the shoals. This would cover a fall of 107 feet, 7 feet of which would be sufficient for storage and canal grades, leaving a net working head of 100 feet. A dam of this height would back the water about 4 miles. There would be no trouble from flood water on the wheels, for the river is very precipitous below the foot of the Yellow Jacket Shoals, having an average fall of 6 feet to the mile in the next 10 miles, the most precipitous part being a fall of about 25 feet between Ilatchasof- kee Creek and Elliotts Ferry, a distance of about 2 miles. Elliotts Ferry is between the mouths of Mountain Creek and Deep Gulch Creek. Below Elliotts Ferry the river falls 13 feet in the next 2 miles, or to Walkers Ferry, and then assumes a practically uniform grade of 1.7 feet to the mile for the next 1 1 miles, or to a point one-half mile below the mouth of Auchumkee Creek, in Crawford County, which is at the head of small shoals having a fall of 10 feet in a distance of 1 mile. This is practically the point where the river crosses the fall line and enters the younger geologic formations. The survey ended here. Along the portion of the river surveyed there are several large trib- utaries which have fme shoals. The most notable of these is Big Potato Creek, near Thomaston, in Upson County, which has three shoals near its mouth, surveyed in 1891 by C. C. Anderson, assistant State geologist, and reported by him to be as follows: Rogers Shoals, 81 feet fall in a distance of 3,500 feet; Nelson Shoals, 115 feet fall in a distance of 2,700 feet, and Daniels Shoals, 13 feet fall in a distance of 150 feet. About 10 miles above Woodbury there is a fme water power on Flint River, 1 mile from Neal, on the Southern Railway. It is known as the Flat Shoals and has a fall of 32 feet in a distance of 3,000 feet. There is a natural storage basin just above these shoals, where it is estimated that a 2-foot dam would store the low-water flow of the river for twelve hours, and that a 4-foot dam would store it for thirty- eight hours. This power is not included in the survey described, but was surveyed separately by B. M. Hall. It can be developed by a canal 3,000 feet long, or by a dam at the foot of the shoals, where there is a narrow shut-in. 3696— iRH 197—07 17 258 WATER KESOUKOES OF GEORGIA. MOBII.B RIVEIl DRAINAGE BASIN. DESCRIPTION OF BASIN. The drainage basin of the Mobile River is the largest in Georgia and Alabama, and is designated the Mobile basin because its waters all enter the Gulf through Mobile River at Mobile, Ala. At its head- waters, Cartecay and Ellijay rivers unite at Ellijay to form Coosawat- tee River, which, just above Resaca, unites with the Conasauga to form Oostanaula River. At Rome, Ga., the Oostanaula and the Etowah unite to form Coosa River. Six miles above Montgomery, Ala., the Coosa and the Tallapoosa unite to form Alabama River, and not far from the coast the Tombigbec unites with the Alabama to form Mobile River, which flows into Mobile Bay, an arm of the Gulf of Mexico. Cahaba River is the principal tributary of the Alabama and joins it about 10 miles below Selma. Ilillabee Creek flows into Tallapoosa River just above Sturdevant and near Alexander. Talladega Creek is a tributary of the Coosa. Tombigbec River rises in the northeastern part of Mississippi and enters Alabama in Pickens County. Its principal tributary is the Black Warrior, which is formed by the junction of Mulberry Fork and Sipsey Fork. Locust Fork enters the Black Warrior some distance below the junction. This paper discusses only the gaging stations in the Mobile drainage basin which are located in the State of Georgia. For stations located in Alabama and Mississippi the reader is referred to Water-Supply Paper No. 107, Water Powers of Alabama and Mississippi, and to the Reports of Progress of Stream Measurements, published by the United States Geological Survey. STREAM FLOW. ETOWAH RIVER NEAR BALLGROUND. This station was established in 1905. It is located at an iron high- way bridge about 2\ miles south of Ballground, and half a mile below the mouth of Long Swamp Creek. The channel is nearly straight for 300 feet above and 600 feet below the station, and the current is moderately swift and fairly good for measurement. The left bank is high and will not overflow, but the right bank is low and cultivated for about 500 feet and will overflow at a gag(> h(>ight of about 16 feet above low water. The bed of the river is ])artly rock. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two iron spans. The left span is 110 feet long, and spans the entire river except at MOBILE DRAIISrAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 259 floods. The other span, which is over low ground on the right bank, is 100 feet long, and there is also 90 feet of wooded trestle on the right bank. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the upstream end of the first floor beam to the left of the middle pier; elevation, 28.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

This station was established in 1892 by the United States Weather Bureau, and it was only in 1896 that measurements were begun by the United States Geological Survey. It is located at the wagon bridge in Canton, one-half mile above the mouth of Canton Creek and 1,000 feet upstream from the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railway station. The channel is straight for 1,000 feet above and 500 feet below the bridge. The current is affected by a fish-trap dam about 1 foot high, which has caused much trouble by being occasionally washed away and built up again. Up to gage height 3 feet the river is only 116 feet wide and flows between the piers on its lower banks. Up to about 14 feet it is confined between its upper banks, which are the abutments at the outer ends of the approaches, but above 14 feet it begins to over- flow the bottom lands. The bed is fairly constant. Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the iron highway bridge. The initial point for soundings is the river side of the right-bank pier at the end of the main span. The gage is a heavy vertical timber, fastened to the edge of the left-bank pier, on the upstream side. The gage is read once each day by J. M. McAfee, who is paid by the United States Weather Bureau for six months of the year and by the Georgia Geological Survey for the other six months. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) A cut on a silver-maple tree on the east side of the road, 20 feet from the end of the bridge, on the south or left bank of the river; elevation, 20.36 feet. (2) The top of the iron bar on- the top of the left-bank pier at the end of the center span of the bridge, upstream side; elevation, 23.39 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage. 260 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. Discharge measurements of Etowah River at Canton. Date. 1896. April 29 July?

This station is located at the bridge of the Western and Atlantic Railway, in the town of Resaca, 800 feet south of the depot. It is a United States Weather Bureau station at which the gage readings are maintained for half the year only. During the years 1896 to 1898, inclusive, the United States Geological Survey maintained the gage for the other half of the year, making the gage height record complete, MOBILE DEAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 281 but for other years only the half-year records of the Weather Bureau are available. No estimates of discharge were made from 1901 until the beginning of 1905, when the station was reestablished. The channel is slightly curved, the same curve extending about 300 feet above and below the bridge. The current is moderate, becoming rather sluggish at low water. The right bank is rock at the edge of the water, and has a solid stone abutment and railroad embankment above high-water level. The left bank is low, cultivated, and overflows dur- ing high water 480 feet to the end of the trestle. The bed of the stream is composed of rock near the right bank, but other parts appear to be sandy; to the left of the pier it is nearly filled up with logs and brush. There is one channel, broken by one pier at ordinary water. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the iron bridge, which consists of three spans of 120 feet each, and 480 feet of trestle approach at the left bank. The left span of the bridge is entirely outside of the river, except at high water. Measurements are also made from a boat at the ferry about 200 feet above the bridge, where the section is somewhat better. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank, downstream side. Gage heights are observed from the United States Weather Bureau gage, which is a heavy timber attached vertically to the downstream side of the center pier of the bridge. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the second crossbeam from the right bank; elevation, 38.94 feet. (2) A cross mark on the top of the limestone bowlder on the north side of the river, about 130 feet from the end of the railroad bridge and 40 feet west of the railroad track; elevation, 34.23 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage. Discharge measurements of Oostanaula River at Resaca. Date. 1896. July 27 August 19 October 13 1897.

It is at the foot of the great shoals made by this stream in cutting through the Cohutta Mountains. The channel is curved for 1,000 feet above and 500 feet below the station. The current is swift and broken. Both banks are high, but overflow at flood stages. The bed of the stream is of gravel and is not liable to change. Discharge measurements are made from the single-span highway bridge and its approaches. The initial point for soundings is the land side of the pier on the right bank. A standard chain gage is attached to the downstream side of the bridge in the third panel from the right bank; length of chain, 36.57 feet. The observer is R. P. Messer, who reads the gage once a day. Bench marks were established as follows : ( 1) The top of the cylindrical iron pier at the right bank, downstream side; elevation, 30.35 feet. ( 2) The top of a stone post set into the ground on the north side of the river, about 300 feet from the end of the iron bridge and on the west side of the road leading toward Carter's mill; elevation, 22.15 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage. Discharge measurements of Coosawattee River at Carters. Date. 1896.

This station was established June 27, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is located at the Cartecay Bridge on the public road 6 miles upstream from Ellijay and IJ miles northwest of Cartecay. Turkey Creek enters from the south side and Owltown Creek from the north side between this point and Ellijay. There is probably no considerable interference from dams above the station. The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the sta- tion. The current is swift. Both banks are high, but are subject to overflow. The bed of the stream is composed of bowlders and is probably permanent, the water flowing in one channel. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the single 60-foot span wooden bridge. The bridge has an approach on the right ba,nk of 24 feet and on the left bank of 26 feet. The initial point for soundings is the edge of the abutment on the right bank, downstream side. The gage is a vertical 10-foot timber^ fastened to the sill and down- stream post of the trestle bent at the right bank. It is read once each day by S. A. Burrell. The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the first floor beam from the right bank, marked by nails and white paint; elevation, 16.50 feet above the datum of the gage.

This station was established June 28, 1904, by M. R. Hall, It is located at a wagon bridge about one-half mile east of Ellijay, and about the same distance above the junction of Ellijay and Cartecay rivers. The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the station. The right bank is about 12 feet high and the left about 10 feet. Both banks are bordered by fields and are subject to overflow. There is one channel, broken by one wooden pier. The bed of the stream is composed of rock, and the current ranges from very swift above the station to sluggish below. Discharge measurements are made from the open wooden wagon bridge, which has two 40-foot spans and 50-foot approaches on each bank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank, on the downstream side. A gage staff, reading from 2 to 6 feet, is nailed to the downstream vertical post at the right bank, and a bench mark established for reference. Regular gage readings are not maintained. The bench mark is a small nail and white paint mark in the downstream vertical post at the right bank; elevation, 7.00 feet above datum of the assumed gage.

This station was established May 10, 1904, by O. P. Hall. It is located at the covered bridge, known as Charles Bridge, about 4 miles west of Ellijay, and about the same distance above the mouth of the creek. This bridge consists of a single span of 54 feet, with short trestle approaches at either end. Discharge measurements are madfe either from the bridge, where the meter is lowered through holes in the floor, or at a foot log half a mile below. The initial point for soundings is the end of the trestle approach at the right bank. The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and 100 feet below the station. Both banks are high and not liable to overflow. The 300 WATER RESOUECES OF GEORGIA. bed of the stream is rocky. The water is shallow and swift at the bridge, the better section being at the foot log below the bridge. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is a nail driven into the vertical post of the main bent under the right end of the bridge 6 feet above the top of the mud sill of the bent; ele- vation, 7.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

SURVEY OF COOSAWATTEE RIVER. From May 2!) to July 12, 19()(), a survey of a part of Ooosawattee River was made, under the supervision of B. M. Hall, resident hydrog- rapher, by Olin P. Hall, who was field assistant, lovohnan, and topog- rapher. No camp outfit was carried. The levclman read his distances with the stadia, and identified land lines and tributaries from a township or district map of the old State survey. This map em])racos two land districts, the eleventh and the twenty-fifth. The eleventh was found to be correct, but the twenty-fifth was incorrect. The survey began at the Geological Survey gaging station at Carters, with zero of the gage as a level datum, and extended up the river to Ellijay, a distance of 24 miles. The total fall between the two places was found to be 581.6 feet. This 24 miles of river cuts through the Cohutta Mountains and enters the Paleozoic formation at Carter's mill, about 2 miles above the gaging station, which is the head of navigation on the river. It is along a continuous shoal, and the conditions are such that water power can be developed at any point desired. The only utilized power is at Carter's mill, where there is an 8-fo()t dam across the river. Elevations on Coosawaliec River from, Cur tern to Ellijay. Di.s- taiicn.

TOCCOA RIVER NEAR BLUERIDGE. This stream, called Toccoa River in Georgia and Okoee River in Tennessee, has its source on the northern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia and flows northwest into Hiwassee River. The area is covered with a fine growth of oak, hickory, and other hard woods. Tne station, established by B. M. Hall on November 25, 1898, is located at the Morganton Bridge, about 4 miles east of the town of Blueridge, Ga. The gage is a 14-foot rod, in two 7-foot sections, nailed to a tree on the right bank just below the bridge. It is graduated to feet and tenths and is set to conform to bench marks which were established October 15, 1896, and October 26, 1898. The measure- ments during 1896 were made at the railroad bridge about 3 miles below, but are referred to the present gage by comparison of the bench marks at the two bridges. The bench mark at the Morganton Bridge is on the top of the bridge floor, on the downstream side, 50 feet from the initial point, and is 18.0 feet above the zero of the gage. The bridge was a wooden, queen-post, open bridge, in three spans, with a total length between abutments of 153 feet, but it has been remodeled and changed into a closed bridge, not suitable for use in making discharge measurements at such an irregular section. Meas- urements are now made at McCays, Tenn., where a gage has been established. The observer was W. E. Rogers, a farmer living about a quarter of a mile east of the gage. The station was discontinued March 31, 1903. Discharge Tneasuremenis of Toccoa River near Blueridge. 1898. August 26 November 25 1899. April 28 June 1(1 September 18 October 24 1900.

This station was established March 21, 1903, by O. P. Hall. It is located at a suspension footbridge just below McCays Ferry, at McCays, Tenn., near the Georgia-Tennessee boundary, and one-half mile below the railroad bridge of the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad. The channel is practically^ straight for about 800 feet above and below the station. The right bank will overflow at about 14 feet gage height for about 500 feet, and the left bank at gage height 12 to 20 feet for about 400 feet. The water is confined to one channel and the bed is probably constant. The current is fairh^ swift and the section is good for measurement. Discharge measurements are made from the suspension footbridge. The gage is in two sections, the inclined section reading from —0.3 to 8.5 feet, set in a trench and held in place by posts driven into the ground. The vertical section, reading from 8 to 18 feet, is attached to the bridge posts on the right bank. The gage is read twice each day by Arch Ballew. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The head of a large nail in the center of a post at the right-bank end of the footbridge on the downstream side; elevation, 16.10 feet; this post is an anchor post for the cable of the suspension bridge and may be pulled out of place. (2) A copper plug set in solid rock at the outer edge of the side ditch of the railroad bed, about 800 feet west of the railroad station at McCays, 11 feet north of the center of the track, and slightly higher than the railroad; elevation, 20.98 feet. Eleva- tions refer to the datum of the gage. Discharge measureraents of Okoee River at McCays, Tenn. Date. 1903. March 21 May 12 May 14 July 24 August 21 October 8 October 9 December 7 ■. 1904.

This station was established August 27, 1904, for the purpose of making miscellaneous measurements. It is located about one-half mile above the mouth of the creek, which flows into Okoee River about one-half mile below the gaging station at McCays, Tenn. Fight- ingtown Creek is in Georgia, but its mouth is in Tennessee. Both banks are open cultivated lands, which will probably over- flow. The bed is sandy, and will probably change much. Discharge measurements are made by means of a b'oat or by wading. The bench mark is two small nails driven into the largest of a cluster of small maple sprouts on the right bank, 40 feet above the mouth of a small branch; elevation, 5.00 feet above datum of assumed gage.

MISCELLANEOUS MEASUREMENTS, llIWASSEE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN IN GEORGIA. Fightingtown Creek. — This stream is a tributary of Toccoa River. A measurement was made October 4, 1904, at the Galloway bridge, near Blueridge, above the Horseshoe Bend. Width, 33 feet; area, 25 square feet; mean velocity, 1 foot per second; discharge, 25 second-feet. Toccoa River.^This stream is a tributary of Hiwassee River, its name becoming Okoee River in the State of Tennessee. A measure- ment was made October 3, 1904, from a small boat at Bench Leg Ford, near Bhieridge, 1 mile below the Morganton road bridge, and one-fourth mile below the mouth of Weaver Creek. Width, 110 feet; area, 264 square feet; mean velocity, 0.65 foot per second; dis- charge, 172 second-feet. RIVER SURVEYS IN HIWASSEE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. HIWASSEE RIVER. The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum tablet marked "1984 Atlanta" at the northeast corner of front vestibule of Towns County court-house, Hiwassee, the elevation of which is accepted as 1,983.634 feet above sea level. The leveling is adjusted with flying levels on Nottely River to accord with the 1903 adjusted elevation of the primary bench marks at Blairsville and Hiwassee. From the mouth of the Nottely to Apa- lachia the leveling is a single spur line. The leveling was done in 1903 by Thomas B.
