GAGE - Water stage recorder operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Datum of gage is 46.22 feet above sea level (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers benchmark) or 46.16 ft. above mean gulf level. The U.S. Geological Survey operated a water-stage recorder over the cavity in the fourth pier from the left bank at a combined highway and railway bridge of Vicksburg Bridge Commission of Warren County, at southern city limits of Vicksburg, 1.5 miles downstream from the Yazoo River diversion canal, and at mile 435.7 (corrected), operated until January 1977. Gages used by Mississippi River Commission: Dec. 10, 1871, to Sept. 30, 1929, nonrecording gage at the mouth of the Yazoo diversion canal, 1.5 mi upstream from the bridge gage, since October 1929, nonrecording gage on Yazoo diversion canal, 1600 ft upstream from the mouth. Gage used by National Weather Service, May 18, 1873, to Oct. 29, 1919, nonrecording gage 0.5 mi upstream from the bridge gage, Oct. 30, 1919, to Nov. 30, 1922, nonrecrording gage at mouth of Yazoo Canal, Dec. 1, 1922, to Aug. 31, 1934, nonrecording gage on Yazoo diversion canal, Sept. 1, 1934, to Dec. 31, 1962, nonrecording gage at bridge, Jan. 1, 1963, to Dec. 31, 1967, water-stage recorder on left bank near downstream side of bridge, Jan. 1, 1968, to Dec. 31, 1976, on left bank at site 1.1 mi upstream, and since Jan. 1, 1977, on left bank at downstream side of Interstate 20 bridge. All gages at same datum, but readings differ due to slope of water surface between them.
COOPERATION - Stage data and some streamflow measurements furnished by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
REMARKS - Records good, except for estimated daily discharges, which are poor. Natural flow of stream affected by many reservoirs and navigation dams. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers stage sensor and telemeter at station.
EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum stage known since at least 1871, 58.4 ft U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gage on Yazoo diversion canal, approximately 56.0 ft, May 4, 1927 (U.S. Geological survey gage).
