DRAINAGE AREA - 349 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY - WSP 1032: 1923-24, 1925(M), 1926, 1927-28(M), 1929, 1930(M), 1932-33, 1934(M), 1935, 1936-37(M), 1944(M). WSP 1383: 1923(m), 1925, 1927, 1930, 1936. WDR NC-81-1: Drainage area.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - November 1922 to current year.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder. The datum of the gage is 417.8 ft above NAVD88 NAD83(2011). Satellite telemetry at streamgage. The datum of gage was previously reported as 419.50 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Flow regulated since 2010 by Randleman Lake.
REMARKS - Flow slightly regulated by Oak Hollow Reservoir, High Point Municipal Lake, and small power plant reservoirs. Prior to January 1963, diurnal fluctuation caused by power plant immediately upstream from station.
Gage-height records are generally good. Discharge records are generally good except for estimated discharges, which are poor. Additional details on the accuracy of the records can be obtained by contacting the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center at gs-w-nc_nwisweb_data_inquiries@usgs.gov.
EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - Flood in August 1901 reached a stage of 28.75 ft, from floodmarks, 0.2 mi upstream; discharge, 30,000 ft³/s.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge for period of record, 43,000 ft³/s, September 18, 1945 from rating curve extended above 18,000 ft³/s, on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow; gage height, 34.04 ft, September 18, 1945.
