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).
4 GAGING-STATION RECORDS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN
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.

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
16 GAGING-STATION RECORDS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN
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
20 GAGING-STATION RECORDS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN
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
BASE DATA FOR GAGING STATIONS 21
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.
22 GAGING-STATION RECORDS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN
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.
BASE DATA FOR GAGING STATIONS 25
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
26 GAGING-STATION RECORDS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN
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.
