PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1980 to July 1983, February 1984 to current year.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder and concrete-lined flood-control channel. Datum of gage 573.23 ft above NAVD of 1988. December 1967 to September 1974, water-stage recorder at site 1.2 mi downstream at different datum (published as station 11072200, "Temescal Creek at Corona"). October 1980 to July 1983 at site 500 ft downstream at different datum.
