Station gage imageSTATION.--01575900 CHIQUES CREEK NEAR MARIETTA, PA
LOCATION.--Lat 40`03'46", long 76`30'57", Lancaster County, Hydrologic Unit 02050306, at single-span concrete bridge on SR 23, 400 ft downstream from Little Chiques Creek, and 1.2 mi east of Marietta.
DRAINAGE AREA.--108 square miles.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--1989 to current year. Prior to October 2020, published as "Chickies Creek".
GAGE.--Water-stage recorder, crest-stage gage, and water-quality monitor. Datum of gage is 250 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, from topographic map. April 2002 to December 2020, non-recording gage at same site and datum.
COOPERATION.--Station established and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey. Funding for the operation of this station is provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
REMARKS.--There is diurnal regulation at low flow caused by operation of mill upstream.
