Apr. 23, 1903 to June 30, 1909, non recording gage at site 0.8 mi. upstream at different datum. Apr. 19, 1920 to May 1, 1921, non recording gage, and May 2, 1921 to Nov. 5, 1933, water-stage recorder at site 400 ft. downstream at different datum. Nov. 6, 1933 to June 5, 1976, water-stage recorder at approximately same site at different datum.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, about 1,700,000 ft³/s, estimated from the average of slope-area measurements of peak flow at Teton, 5.3 mi downstream, and near Newdale, 3.4 mi upstream, June 5, 1976 (Teton Dam failure); maximum stage, 42.2 ft.
Maximum discharge excluding 1976, 11,000 ft³/s Feb. 12, 1962, gage height, 9.36 ft, on basis of contracted-opening measurement of peak flow, site and datum then in use.
