GAGING-STATION RECORDS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN

By Bruce R. Colby and Roy E. Oltman

INTRODUCTION

Many hundreds of gaging stations on streams, canals, and

reservoirs in the Missouri River Basin have been maintained

for different periods of time* Records for most of these

periods have been published somewhere, but the publications

have been prepared by several governmental agencies so that

looking through all the possible sources of stream-flow data

to find records at a particular place or in a certain area

may be difficult. This index and summary of gaging stations

in the Missouri River Basin is intended to fill the need for

information on the kinds and lengths of records available, on

the published sources of, these records, and on facts required

to explain the meaning and applicability of the records.

After extensive but not necessarily exhaustive investiga

tion of possible sources of gaging-station records, this index

in the form of bar charts has been prepared. A graphical

presentation of the periods of record was used because it

shows conveniently (l) the periods covered by the records,

(2) the kind of records for each period, and (3) where gaging-

station records have been published* A summary table listing

pertinent facts for nearly a thousand of the gaging stations

has also been made.

This report was prepared in the division of water utiliza

tion under the general supervision of R. W. Davenport, chief.*

2 GAGING-STATION RECORDS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN

SOURCES OF GAGING STATION DATA

The principal sources of the gaging station records are

(1) publications of the United States Geological Survey,

(2) publications of the Corps of Engineers, Department of the

Army, and (3) reports of state engineers and other state

officials. The publications from which gaging station rec

ords were obtained are listed specifically under the heading

"Bibliography," on pages 17-21 of this report.

GAGING-STATION NAMES

Records for the same gaging station or two or more sta

tions, giving approximately equivalent records but obtained

at slightly different sites, have sometimes been published

under different names. An attempt has been made in this

report to combine all such substantially equivalent records

under one name unless the practically equivalent r'ecords were

for gaging stations that were operated concurrently. Paren

theses enclose words that appear in earlier published names

of a gaging station and follow immediately after the words

that supersede them. A comma within parentheses separates

words that occurred in two different earlier names of a gag

ing station. Brackets in a station name enclose words that

did not appear in the name under which some earlier records

have been published. At three or four places in the Missouri

River Basin, records that were not equivalent have been pub

lished under one name. In this report these nonequivalent

records have been separated.

Canal records that have been published in water-supply

papers are ligted on the bar charts under the name used in

the water-supply papers. The names of canals for which

MAP SHOWING GAGING STATIONS 3

records have been given only in other publications frequently

have been extended to make them more distinctive. This exten

sion consisted of the addition of the name of a nearby town

to the canal name if the canal diverted water from a main

stream. The name of a canal diverting water principally from

some source other than a main stream was extended to show the

source from which water was diverted. Thus, the name "Hooper

Canal" was extended to "Hooper Canal diversion from Blue Creek,

Nebr."

Records for a few gaging stations on streams have been

published in state reports under a stream name and a land-

line location. Names of these stations have also been

extended to include reference to a nearby town.

Names of reservoirs and lakes have been given without

reference to the stream on which they are situated, provided

their location was readily apparent from the names of stations

that precede them in the table or on the bar charts. Whenever

the location of a reservoir might otherwise be in doubt, a

reference has been made to the stream on which it is located*

Offstream reservoirs, which do not occupy the stream channel

supplying most of their water, have been noted; and the prin

cipal source of supply for each of them has been shown.

Some diversions by pumping from Bighorn River have been

published in special reports by the state engineer of Wyoming.

Diversions reported as being made by pumps have been shown in

this report as ditch diversions. For example the Joe Riedl

pump diversion is shown as Joe Riedl ditch.

MAP SHOWING GAGING STATIONS

Gaging stations for which records have been published for

periods prior to October 1, 1944, have been plotted with ref

erence numbers on the map of the Missouri River Basin (pi. 1).


Open circles represent stations on streams, and short bars

represent stations on diversions. Gaging stations on streams

and canals are too close together in several areas to plot on

a map, so schematic diagrams have been prepared to show the

relative locations of stations in these areas (figs* 1-10)*

These diagrams are not to scale. A £ew of the smaller diver

sions may be indicated as diverting from the wrong side of the

stream. Plate 1 and figures 1-10 have been prepared primarily

from published maps and descriptions, but some indefinite loca

tions of gaging stations and canals have been checked by oral

or written inquiry. The map reference numbers are listed on

the bar charts and in the summary table of gaging-station data*

The reference numbers were assigned to stations in down

stream order beginning with the station farthest upstream on

Red Rock River (head of the Missouri River) and going down

stream along the main stream. Following the farthest down

stream station on Missouri River is the most upstream station

on the tributary that is nearest the source of the Red Rock

River. Other tributaries follow in order downstream, with the

list progressing down each tributary as though it were a main

stream. This is the order used in most water-supply papers.

Gaging stations on canals have been listed in the down

stream order they would occupy if the canals were tributaries

entering the stream at .the point where the canal diverts water

from the stream. All gaging stations on one canal, diversions

to it, or wastes from it have been listed in consecutive down

stream order along that canal in the order that they would

have if the canal were a natural stream.

BAR CHARTS OF RECORDS

The durations and kinds of records for individual gaging

stations are shown on the accompanying bar charts. This method

shows graphically the sources of published data and identifies

the daily, monthly, and yearly discharge records. The year

used on the charts is the water year, the 12-month period

ending September 30.

The period covered by the forms on which the bar charts

are drawn is October 1, 1871, to September 30, 1944. The ear-

lies't published record of systematic gage readings that have

been, found for Missouri River or its tributaries were the read

ings for Missouri River at St. Charles, Mo., where the record

begins in 1868. Systematic gage readings of Missouri River

beginning in 1872 have been published for stations at

St. Joseph, Mo., Leavenworth, Kans., and Omaha, Nebr. No rec

ords have been shown on the bar charts for periods after

September 30, 1944, principally because no later records had

been published by the Geological Survey in water-supply papers

at the time the bar charts were prepared.

The bar charts cover practically all published records of

gage height or discharge for stations in the Missouri River

Basin. Records for stations in Canada operated solely by the

Canadian government and a few short records in the United

States of flow of wasteways, or drains, or of small diversions

from wasteways and drains, have been omitted. Gaging stations

maintained jointly by the United States and Canada have been

included.

The publications containing the various gaging station rec

ords are shown by letter symbols and simple bars, placed above

the symbolic bars, to indicate the period of record covered by

that symbol. The simple bars indicate only the length of rec

ord to be found in the publication indicated by the letter

symbol and may have no direct relation to the class of record

indicated by the symbolic bars.,

The symbolic bars represent the highest class of record


that can be assembled from the different sources of published

data» That is, for a particular gaging station, discontinuous

daily discharge figures may have been published in water-supply

papers and complete figures of monthly discharge may have been

published by the Corps of Engineers. The resulting 'composite

record would be in class 5 (see below), "Daily discharge not

continuous, monthly discharge continuous."

The symbolic bars have six different symbols to indicate

six classes of record. These classes in ascending order of

value for stream-flow stations are:

1. Gage-height (stage) records only.

2. Annual discharge only.

3. Monthly discharge.

4. Daily discharge not continuous.

5. Daily discharge not continuous? monthly discharge

continuous.

6. Daily discharge continuous (accompanied by monthly

and annual discharge).

Clas's 1 has not been subdivided to differentiate between

periods of complete daily gage height and periods of discon

tinuous gage heights or to differentiate between periods-of

daily gage heights and periods for which only average weekly

gage heights have been published.

Class 2 consists of records of annual discharge or runoff

only.

Class 3 designates records of monthly mean discharge in

second-feet or monthly runoff in acre-feet. It also includes

reservoir records of contents at the end of each month or of

change in contents during each month. Some of the figures of

monthly discharge were estimates,,

Class 4 contains records of daily discharge for which

neither daily discharge nor monthly discharge was continuous

BAR CHARTS OF RECORDS 17

throughout the period shown.

Class 5 is composed of records that have incomplete fig

ures of daily discharge but for which monthly figures of dis

charge are Qomplete for the period shown. Many of the records

in this class have figures of daily discharge, except during

the winter months for which only figures of monthly discharge

have been published. Some early gage-height records published

by the Geological Survey are considered to be equivalent to

daily discharge records because rating tables were published

with the gage heights. Incomplete gage-height records of this

type have been placed in class 5.

Class 6 comprises records of daily discharge throughout

the period shown. Records that contain short periods of flat

estimates of daily discharge during winter months have been

included. Class 6 also includes early records of dally gage

heights that were complete, or had no important break, if

these gage heights had been published with an applicable table

showing the stage-discharge relation.

In general, the bar charts have been plotted to the nearest

month, but for a few gaging stations a period of record was so

short that the length of the bar chart was somewhat exagger

ated in order to show a legible amount of the classification

symbol. Sometimes a station was discontinued shortly after

the end of a water year; sometimes one was started near the

end of a water year. Whenever bnly a few months of record

preceded or followed a water year of record, the symbol for

the short period was usually made the same as the symbol for

the adjoining water year, provided that no part oi1 the record

was poorer than the symbol indicated it to be.

Summary of records by basins

In the Missouri River Basin about 16,400 station years of

18 QAGING-STATION RECORDS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN

discharge record at gaging stations have been obtained and

published for periods prior to October 1, 1944. This number

was computed by adding the years of complete and incomplete

discharge record for all gaging stations on streams and canals

in the Missouri River Basin except those bperated in Canada

solely by the Canadian government. Table 1 shows the distri

bution of the published stream-flow records by drainage basina

Figures of total station years of record have been rounded

somewhat.

BASE DATA FOR GAGING STATIONS

For gaging stations in the Missouri River Basin table 3

has been prepared to show a summary of most of the records

that have been published for- periods prior to October 1, 1944.

Stations on streams or on reservoirs usually have been includ

ed in the table if records of discharge or contents were

available for three or more complete water years or for five

or more incomplete water years. Gaging stations on drains, or

on creeks that are essentially drains rather than natural

streams, generally have been omitted. No stations in Canada

have been included except international gaging stations, which

are, or have been, jointly maintained by the United States and

Canada. Gaging stations on canals and on large wasteways have

bsen included, provided they divert from, or return to a stream

channel' an average of at least 2,000 or 5,000 acre-feet of

water annually depending on the size of the stream, and have

at least three complete water years or five incomplete water

years of records. Canal diversions from drains, wasteways, or

other canals have not been included,

Drainage areas

Drainage areas above a gaging station are usually those

given in the last water-supply paper for which records for t}iat


station have been published. A few drainage areas have been

taken from compilation reports in water-supply papers and a

few from Water-Supply Paper 847. Drainage area figures that

have been obtained from any source other than water-supply

papers are shown by a reference mark that indicates either the

published source of the figure or that it Is approximate*

Approximate drainage areas have been computed if no published

figure was available or if the published drainage area was

Inconsistent with the published drainage areas for stations

immediately upstream or downstream. These approximate areas

have been measured on topographic maps for regions covered by

such maps. Usually, they had to be measured on state base

maps because these base maps were the best maps available.

Drainage areas of streams flowing out of the Sand Hill area of

Nebraska are usually indefinite. Parts of many drainage areas

in the Missouri River Basin have no surface runoff in normal

years but are included in the drainage areas to which they

would contribute if runoff occurred.

Approximate areas irrigated

The figures given are approximate areas Irrigated during

1939 by diversions above each gaging station. They are based

almost entirely on "Irrigation of Agricultural Land, 1940" by

the Bureau of the Census. They include small scattered areas

Irrigated by pumping from ground water wells. To avoid Incon

sistent increments from one gaging station to another, the

acreages generally are given to more significant figures than

their accuracy warrants. These figures are subject to errors

in the census figures and on the 'maps showing the distribution

of Irrigated land during 1939 as well as to errors of inter

pretation. Some of the figures are probably only rough approx

imations of the actual areas irrigated. Irrigated acreages


In Canada were estimated from available maps and from figures

furnished by Canadian officials of irrigable acreage with

water rights in several drainage areas in Canada, Of course,

not all of the irrigable acreage was irrigated during 1939.

The quantity of water diverted for irrigation has not been

published- for some of the small interbasin diversions. The

estimated acreage of land irrigated during 1939 by these small

diversions of unknown quantity was subtracted from> the area

irrigated in the basin to which the water was diverted and was

added to the area irrigated in the basin in which the water

originated.

Obviously, the figures of irrigated acreage are not exact,

especially for areas where the irrigation systems are complex

and information on the distribution and use of water is incom

plete. .In many areas, however, the area irrigated by diver

sions above each gaging station could be determined with

reasonable accuracy by a study of the diversion points of

canals and of the irrigable acreages under each canal system.

The approximate figures of irrigated acreages, although inex

act, are a useful index of the irrigation development above

each gaging station and of the effect of diversions for

consumptive use on the stream flow at each station.

Approximate usable capacity of reservoirs

The table gives the figures of approximate total usable

capacity of reservoirs in 1940 above gaging stations in opera

tion in 1940 or started since then. These figures are based

on known reservoirs of more than 1,000 acre-feet usable capac

ity and on census figures that summarize, by drainage areas

and by counties, the small reservoirs available during 1940 to

store water for irrigation. Offstream reservoirs are included

at the point of diversion of their principal water supply.


Where a gaging station is at a reservoir, the capacity of that

reservoir Is Included In the total capacity above the gaging

station. The usable capacity as given for gaging stations on

major streams is carried to more significant figures than

accuracy warrants to avoid large Inconsistencies of reservoir

capacity in areas drained by tributaries that discharge into

the major streams between successive gaging stations.

No separate compilations of usable capacity of reservoirs

above gaging stations would produce identical results, as pub-

Dished figures of usable capacities of Individual reservoirs

often differ widely. Some published capacities do not show

whether they are usable or total capacities. Changes in

capacity owing to sedimentation are continuous for many reser

voirs. Although the figures of approximate usable capacities

above gaging stations are not exact, they are a good measure

of developed storage capacity above each station.

Average discharge for water years 1958-45

The figures of average discharge for the water years

1958-45 are based on the observed discharges at each gaging

station. When the observed discharge has been adjusted for

diversions and storage, It Is usually termed runoff and Is so

designated. Discharges for periods of no discharge record

were estimated; averages, Including such estimates, are

Indicated by footnote reference.

Some comparisons of average discharge for long periods of

record and average discharge for the water years 1958 to 1945

are shown In table 2. In general, the average effect of stor

age and diversions has been greater in Montana and Wyoming

during the water years 1958 to 1945 'than during the long

periods of discharge record. Thus, the difference between

the average discharge for the water years 1958 to 1945 and

24 GAGING-STATIQN RECORDS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN

the average during periods of record as shown in table 2, is

somewhat more than would be shown by corresponding figures of

runoff.

Average runoff for water years 1958-45

The figures of average annual runoff in inches for the

water years 1958-45 are based on the discharge adjusted for

estimated net diversions, for changes in storage in reservoirs,

for interbasin diversions, and for evaporation from large res

ervoirs. The adjustments for changes in storage and for evap

oration were usually small. Net diversions for irrigation and

gross diversions for power frequently were large. The amounts

of water diverted have been estimated from records of gross

diversions whenever such records were available. Most diver

sions for consumptive use have been computed from bhe approxi

mate acreage irrigated and from an estimate of the use of water

per acre. A few of these adjustments probably are far from

correct, but most of the adjustments could not cause appreci

able errors in average runoff. The figures of runoff also

contain uncertainties that are due to errors in the estimates

of discharge. Some streams flowing from the Sand Hill area of

Nebraska receive ground water that originates from precipita

tion outside of the surface drainage area of those streams'.

The discharge and runoff for gages on these streams include

the total ground water contribution to stream flow.

The figures for average runoff for the period from

October 1, 1957, to September 50, 1945 (water years 1958 to

1945), are reasonably representative of average runoff for the

periods of record for all parts of the Missouri River Basin.

However, in parts of Montana and Wyoming the average runoff for

this period was somewhat less than the average runoff for long

periods of record.


Sources of records

The principal sources of published records of discharge

are the water-supply papers and other publications of the-

Geological Survey. However, several other sources of gaging

station records of discharge and gage heights also exist.

When those sources are needed to complete the record of dis

charge for stream-flow stations or to complete the record of

contents or gage heights for reservoir gages, they are indi

cated by letter symbol in table 3. Parts or all of the rec

ords may have been published by other agencies also. Some

records of diversions published in water-supply papers appear

only as part of the information given for the first downstream

gaging station affected by the diversion either to or from the

basin. A few transmountain diversions to the Missouri River

Basin have been published in water-supply papers for* the Colo

rado River Basin but not in those for the Missouri River Basin.

Period of discharge record

The calendar years in which the records begin and end are

listed in table 3; if no concluding year is given, the station

was still in operation after September 30, 1944. Breaks in

the record of less than a year are.not shown except by foot

note reference.

A continuous record may consist of daily and monthly fig

ures of discharge or of monthly figures onlyj some estimates

may be included.

Maximum discharge

The maximum discharge given in the table is the maximum

momentary discharge that occurred during the period or periods

of record unless otherwise noted. Many gaging stations were


not equipped with water-stage recorders at the time the maxi

mum discharge occurred. Observations of gage height at some

of these stations were discontinued during winter months and

sometimes for short periods during the open water months; in

a few instances, the maximum discharge observed may have been

exceeded by a discharge occurring When the gage observations

had been temporarily discontinued. Any maximum discharge

listed in the table which may have been exceeded by an ungaged

flow during the period of record is footnoted accordingly.

Minimum discharge

The minimum discharge given in table 3 is the minimum

momentary discharge during the period or periods of record

except as noted.

The dates when the minimum* discharges occurred have been

listed in the next column. If a particular minimum discharge

occurred on several scattered days, the phrase "at times" is

used.

Annual discharge records

The. water years for which annual discharges have been pub

lished are listed by showing the first and last water years of

any consecutive period. Thus, 1925-30 represents the continu

ous 6-year period from October 1, 1924, to September 30, 1930.

The fact that a figure of annual discharge has been published

does not necessarily imply that figures of monthly discharge

arc also published; some of the annual discharges are partly

estimated.

Canal records both in state publications and in water-

supply papers have frequently been given only for the summer

months without sufficient explanation to show whether there

was flow during the periods for which there is no record.

BASE DATA FOR GAGING STATIONS ' 27

Probably a number of mistakes have been made in -estimating

which canal records were complete" records of diversion for the'

entire water year.

Average discharge

The average discharge was computed on the basis of all

water years for which the annual discharge was available. The

average discharges have not been adjusted for diversions or

for changes in storage. The water years included in some

averages may not have been representative water years but may

have been years of abnormally low or abnormally high discharge.

Also, diversions or storage upstream from a gaging station may

have changed materially at some time during the period of rec

ord. The average discharge is specifically a summarized

statement of recorded flow for the indicated years; it is not

an acceptable measure of expected future discharge without

further study.
