REGULATION AND DIVERSION.--Records are for the flow that is diverted from the Sheyenne River at this location. When flows are greater than about 1,000 ft³/s at Sheyenne River above Sheyenne River Diversion near Horace (station 05059300), diversions are made in order to control flood discharges downstream. The diverted flow returns to the Sheyenne River main channel at a location about 13 mi downstream, below the city of West Fargo. See Sheyenne River Diversion at West Fargo (station 05059480) for return flows.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum peak flow, 2,900 ft³/s, April 10, 2019, peak stage, 25.78 ft; maximum peak stage, 26.66 ft, March 25, 1999, from high-water mark, backwater from ice and closure of diversion channel.
