Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 06440000 is associated with a Stream in Hughes County, South Dakota. Current conditions of Gage height are available. Water data back to 1918 are available online.

To obtain water elevation, add gage datum of 1414.26 to the current gage height. Add an additional 1.2 ft for elevation referenced to NAVD88(North American Vertical Datum of 1988), the vertical control used for inundation and levee mapping.
