COMPILATION OF RECORDS OF SURFACE WATERS OF THE GREAT BASIN 1951-60
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This volume is one of a series of reports presenting monthly and yearly summaries of
streamflow and reservoir data collected by the Geological Survey during the period Octo
ber 1, 1950, to September 30, 1960. Included with these data are some records furnished
by other Federal, State, and private agencies. This series of reports is a condensation
of the detailed streamflow information presented in the annual series of reports known as
"Surface Water Supply of the United States" for each of the years 1951 through 1960. The
area covered by this report is The Great Basin.
The purpose of the present series of reports is to make available in summarized form
all of the surface-water records collected October 1, 1950, to September 30, 1960, and to
continue the series of reports known as Water-Supply Papers 1301-19 and 1372 which summa
rized all surface-water records through September 30, 1950. The present series of reports
includes corrections of errors which have been found in the earlier series. Also included
are some records collected prior to October 1, 1950, that were omitted from the 1950 compi
lation series.
The Geological Survey collected the records mainly in cooperation with State, municipal,
and other Federal agencies, and published then in detail in the series of annual reports
known as "Surface Water Supply of the United States." Some records furnished by other
agencies have been included in the annual reports and in the present series of reports;
such records are identified in the station description.
The data presented consist of records of discharge of streams and contents of reservoirs
summarized on a monthly and yearly basis. Results of miscellaneous discharge measurements
and, in general, stage records have been excluded. Also included is a map of the area
showing the location of each station (pi. 1). The reports of the present series are gen
erally similar in the type of data they contain and in the form of presentation; moreover,
they conform in style with the earlier series of compilation reports so that the entire rec
ord for any station up to September 30, 1960, is available in one or two volumes.
All records compiled for these summary reports were examined for major errors. A few
revisions were made and the revised figures, noted as such, are included. Some previously
unpublished information is included, as well as a few estimates of discharge that were
made to fill short gaps in an otherwise complete period of record.
DESCRIPTION OF DATA
The gaging-station records are arranged in downstream order. The order used in this
report is the same as that adopted for use in the annual series of reports on surface-
water supply beginning with the water year 1951. In a downstream direction along the main
stem, all stations on a tributary entering above a main-stem station are listed before
that station. If a tributary enters between two main-stem stations, it is listed between
them. A similar order is followed in listing stations on first rank, second rank, and
other ranks of tributaries. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a gaging sta
tion is situated and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in
2 COMPILATION OF SURFACE WATER RECORDS, PART 10
the listing of gaging stations in the table of contents represents one rank. This down
stream order and system of Indention show which gaging stations are on tributaries between
any two stations on a main stem and the rank of the tribuary on which each gaging station
Is situated.
As an added means of Identification, each station was assigned a number which Is shown
on the Index map and which Is a part of the station name In the heading of the description
In the text. The numbers are assigned In downstream order In each part (see explanation
of "parts" under the heading "Publications," p. 4) beginning with the most upstream sta
tion. The numbers are not consecutive'because gaps are left to allow for new stations
that may be established.
The data presented for most of the gaging stations comprise a description of the sta
tion, a table of monthly discharge In cUblc feet per second, a table of monthly discharge
In acre-feet, and a yearly summary table. The station description gives the name of the
river basin, the station number and name, the location, drainage area, records available,
types and datums of gages, average discharge, extremes of discharge, general remarks con
cerning the data, and a credit statement If records were furnished by another agency.
The location of the gaging station and the drainage area are obtained from the best
available maps. When more than one site was used during water years 1951-60 and the dif
ference In drainage areas Is significant, the area for the latest site Is shown first fol
lowed by the areas for other sites In chronological order. In some Instances drainage -
area figures have not been obtained because of the lack of suitable maps or because the
boundaries cannot be defined or the effective drainage area determined.
The paragraph "Records available" lists all periods for which there are published rec
ords generally equivalent to those at the present site. If equivalent records have been
published under another station name, that fact is also noted.
The gage described first is the present gage or the one used most recently. Informa
tion is then given in chronological order for all gages used earlier, giving changes in
location, type of gage, or datum. The location or datum of all earlier gages is given
with reference to the present or most recently used gage. The datum of the gage is the
elevation of the zero of the gage above mean sea level. Where information as to datum is
not available, the altitude of the gage is given.
The average discharge for a station is the average of all complete water years and is
published only if there are five or more complete water years of record. The years used
to determine the average are not necessarily consecutive. The average discharge is not
published for some stations because of extensive changes in diversion or storage, or other
water development, that have occurred upstream.
In general, the momentary maximum and minimum discharges and stages for the entire
period of record are published in the "Extremes" paragraph. These are qualified if neces
sary according to the types of gage used and the completeness of the record. Maximum and
minimum discharges at nonrecording gaging stations are qualified as "observed" unless
determined from a graph drawn through actual gage heights which approximates the actual
hydrograph.
Under "Remarks" information is given on factors which affect the basin runoff character
istics. These include upstream regulation, diversion, and utilization a history of
DESCRIPTION OP DATA 3
changes in these items during the period 1951-60 is given when known. Also, references
are made to the records of storage or diversion upstream and to records concerning quality
of water, if published.
When discharge records are furnished by another agency, credit is given under "Cooper
ation."
The streamflow data summarized in this report generally are contained in two monthly
tables and one yearly table. The first monthly table is a tabulation of monthly and
yearly mean discharges in cubic feet per second. These figures represent discharge pass
ing the station; they are unadjusted for storage or diversion upstream unless otherwise
specified under "Remarks" for the individual station. Each monthly figures is the mean
flow for the entire month; generally no record for part of a month is tabulated. Likewise,
each yearly figure is the mean flow for a full year, and no figure is shown for a partial
year. Usually the months are arranged on a water-year basis. Exceptions to this rule are
made in connection with seasonal records wherein the months are grouped to give a complete
season for each calendar year.
The second monthly table is a tabulation of monthly and yearly discharge in acre-feet.
The third table contains a yearly summary of the streamflow data. The column headed
"WSP" lists the number of the water-supply paper in which the figures of daily and monthly
discharge are published. If a part of the record has been revised and the revision pub
lished, then reference is made to both the original report and the one containing the
revised record; if the daily discharge record for the entire year has been republished to
include the revisions, then only the later report is listed. However, there is no refer
ence in this column for revisions published for the first time in this report, as the cor
responding revised figures of daily discharge will be published in a water-supply paper
which will contain daily recorda for the period 1961-65. For some stations the third table
is omitted; however, the report containing records for any particular year can generally be
found by referring to the table given on page 6.
In the third table the momentary maximum discharge for each water year and the date of
its occurrence is given if known. For nonrecording gage records, momentary maximums were
obtained from graphs drawn through the gage readings. The momentary maximum discharge,
however obtained, is not qualified in any way if it is believed to be representative of -
the absolute maximum for the water year.
The minimum daily discharge for each water year is listed if known. Other data listed
in this table are the annual mean discharge and discharge in acre-feet for both the water
year and the calendar year. The figures listed for the water year are the same as those
given in the yearly columns of the preceding tables.
Most canal and diversion records are given in a single table. There are some records
for large canals, however, that are published in the same detail as those for streams.
Records of reservoirs also are given in a single table which shows the contents at the
end of each month.
Revised figures of discharge for water years 1951-60 are not so indicated if they have
been published in an annual report, but are noted as "Revised" if they have not been pub
lished in an annual report. Revised daily figures which have not been published in annual
reports will be published in the water-supply paper containing records for water years
1961-65, except for special cases involving only a few figures which are included in this
series of reports. Figures that represent corrections of typographical or computational
COMPILATION OF SURFACE WATER RECORDS, PART 10
errors whereas no figures of daily discharge have been revised or changed are indicated as
"corrected" in this report. Estimates of discharge made to complete months or years for
this report are noted as estimates and as "not previously published."
Revisions or corrections of records published in WSP 1314 are included in this report.
Records for some stations in the area covered by this report, previously published by
the Geological Survey in the 1951-60 annual series of reports, are omitted from this com
pilation. In general, the records for such stations either did not measure streamflow,
total diversions, or return flow and were considered not important enough to warrant pub
lication in this report. These stations are listed in the following table:

In addition to the customary records of discharge collected during the systematic oper
ation of gaging stations, there is much additional hydrologic information available, both
published and unpublished.
Lists of flood reports and other special reports are contained in the introductory pages
of each of the annual reports listed above.
Records for many stations have been analyzed by an electronic computor to give: the
number of days in each year that the discharge was between selected limits (duration
tables); the lowest and highest mean discharges for selected numbers of consecutive days
in each year; and other statistical summaries.
Data on low flow or peak flows or both are available for many sites other than gaging
stations.
Specific information on unpublished data available can be obtained by writing directly
to the district engineer for the State in which the site or gaging station is located.
HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS
Streamflow, a residual of precipitation after other demands have been met, varies con
siderably from year to year and from place to place. Figure 2 shows yearly discharge for
three widely-separated gaging stations in The Great Basin. The pattern of yearly runoff
shown by these streams is generally representative of hydrologic conditions in their parts
of the report area. Water supplies in The Great Basin decreased during the 1951-60 period.
At the gaging station West Fork Mojave River near Hisperia, Calif., there was no flow in
the entire 1951 water year and only 2 days of flow in the 1960 water year. These were the
driest years during the 49-year period of record.

Gage. Water-stage recorder at Boat Harbor since October 1938 at datum 4,186.9 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929. Prior to October 1938,'staff gages at sites and datums as follows: September 1875 to October 1877 at Black Rock at datum 4,208.4 ft above mean sea level, November 1877 to November 1879 at Parmington Bay at datum 4,206.9 ft above mean sea level, November 1879 to April 1881 near Black Rock at datum 4,203.1 ft above mean sea level, April 1881 to December 1899 at Garfield Landing at datum 4,198.5 ft above mean sea level, and July 1903 to October 1938 at Saltair at datum 4,196.9 ft above mean sea level. Staff gage at Midlake October 1902 to September 1956 at datum 4,197.9 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929.
Extremes.--1875-99, 1902-60: Maximum elevation observed, 4,210.9 ft June 30, 1876; mini mum, 4,193.60 ft Sept. 15, 1960.
Maximum elevation since 1851, 4,211.6 ft in 1873, computed from traditional data by E. C. LaRue.
Remarks. To compensate for wind effect and seiches, elevation given for the gage are taken from a mean slope line defined by several days' gage-height graph preceding and following 12:01 a.m. for the first of each month. Wind effects may cause substantial changes in elevation which are not shown in the published elevations.
Correction. In WSP 1314, the elevations for April, June, July and August 1924 are listed in error: they should be 204.9, 205.1, 204.7, 204.5, and 204.0, respectively.

1395. Ogden River near Ogden, Utah
Location. La t 41°15 I 15", long 111°50'40", in NE^SW^ sec. 16, T.6 N. , R.I E., on left bank 500 ft downstream from Wheeler Creek, 1,000 ft downstream from Pine View Dam, and 65- miles east of Ogden.
Drainage area. 321 sq mi.
Records available. January 1904 to September 1912, October 1931 to September 1959. Monthly discharge only October 1937 to September 1959.
Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 4,803.33 ft above mean sea level (levels by Bureau of Reclamation). Prior to Aug. 24, 1932, hook or chain gage and Aug. 25, 1932, to Sept. 30, 1954, water-stage recorder, at site 1,000 ft downstream at datum 5.03 ft lower.
Average discharge. 36 years (1904-12, 1931-59), 245 cfs (combined flow of river and pipe- line , unadjusted for storage in Pine View Reservoir).
Extremes. --1904-12, 1932-59: Maximum combined daily discharge (flow in river and pipeline) 3,430 cfs Apr. 23, 1936; no flow Nov. 19, 20, 22, Dec. 15, 1936, when reservoir gates were closed. For river only, momentary maximum discharge, 3,700 cfs Apr. 24, 1936 (gage height, 11.48 ft), when pipeline was not in operation.
Remarks. --Records give combined flow of river and Pine View pipeline which diverts water above station for irrigation and power development. Pipeline has diverted at Pine View Dam since its construction in 1936, and at a small diversion dam at about the same site prior to that. Records do not include diversions for culinary use by the City of Ogden at Pine View Dam and an unmeasured discharge from pipeline which spills at No. 7 tunnel near mouth of canyon; this discharge is estimated to have been 1 or 2 cfs since 1945 and much higher prior to 1945. Flow of river affected by storage in Pine View Reservoir (see p. 88) beginning November 1936 and by diversions for irrigation and municipal supply above Pine View Reservoir.

Location. Lat 40°34'40", long 111"47'50", in NE^NE^- sec. 11, T.3 S., R.I E., at mouth of canyon 100 ft west of Wasatch Drive, 2 miles downstrean from Wasatch Resort, and 14 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
Drainage area. 27.4 sq mi (revised).Records available. November 1898 to May 1899, August to November 1904, October 1905 to
March 1906, January to March 1907, November 1907 to March 1908, December 1908 to April 1909, November 1909 to March 1910, September 1910 to March 1911, January 1912 to Septem ber 1960. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1314.
Gage. Water-stage recorder and Parshall flume on creek. Altitude of gage is 5,080 ft Tfrom topographic map). Supplementary gages measuring bypassed water: Cippoletti weir on City conduit, 24-inch rated gate on Farmers conduit, and separate weirs on West Side Water Co.'s conduit, Beaver Pond Springs and Sandy ditch. Prior to 1920, two weirs on creek at site about 1 mile downstream at different datum, stage determined by measure ment from fixed point; two small irrigation ditches bypassed gage unmeasured.
1920-23, flow computed as sum of all diversions; method of measurement of flow not known. 1924 to January 1940, concrete flume l£ miles upstream from present site and above all diversions prior to 1931; water bypassing gage after 1930 measured by separate weirs on tailrace of Murray City powerplant, Beaver Pond Springs, and Sandy ditch.
Average discharge.--11 years (1912-23), 67.1 cfs (48,580 acre-ft); 37 years (1923-60), 58.6 cfs (42,420 acre-ft).
Extremes. 1912-13, 1915-60: Maximum daily discharge, 762 cfs June 11, 1921; minimum daily, 4.2 cfs Jan. 10, 1934.
Remarks. Some storage and regulation in several small lakes and reservoirs. Severaldiversions above station for irrigation above and below station. Diversions above sta tion for municipal supply and for three powerplants, of which discharge from two upper plants returns to creek above gage. Discharge which bypasses gage through conduits is included in record published herewith. Record since 1920 includes all water bypassing gage and shows natural flow except for small irrigation diversions above and except for slight storage and regulation mentioned above. Prior to 1920, record does not include two small irrigation diversions. Record prior to 1924 not equivalent to those after 1924 due to channel losses between sites.
Cooperation. Records for 1951-60, not previously published by Geological Survey, furnished by office of City Engineer of Salt Lake City.

126 JORDAN RIVER BASIN
1685. Big Cottonwood Creek near Salt Lake City, Utah
Location. Lat 40"37'10", long 111"47'00", in SW^NE^ sec.25, T.2 S., R.I E., at mouth of canyon, about 80 ft upstream from Wasatch Boulevard bridge, a quarter of a mile down stream from Utah Power & Light Co.'s plant, and 12 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
Drainage area. 50 sq mi (revised).
Records available. October 1958 to September 1960. ods, published in WSP 1314.
Monthly discharge only for some peri-
Gage. Water-stage recorder and two cippoletti weirs. Altitude of gage is 4,880 ft (from topographic map). Prior to 1908, water-leve] indicating glass tube at lower side of weirs.
Average discharge. 62 years (1898-1960), 73.8 cfs (53,430 acre-ft per year).
Extremes. 1898-1960: Maximum daily discharge (corrected), 835 cfs June 6, 1909; minimum daily, 4.5 cfs Jan. 10, 1937.
Remarks. Some regulation during low flow since beginning of record by Utah Power & Light Co.'s plant about a quarter of a mile upstream. Adjustments have been made to the record for storage of municipal water at Brighton in Lake Mary (capacity, 742 acre-ft). Butler ditch, which has title to 0.89 percent of creek flow, diverts about three- quarters of a mile upstream from station for irrigation below station. The flow in Butler ditch was included in records May 16 to Sept. 30, 1912, only.
Cooperation.--Records for 1951-60, not previously published by Geological Survey, fur- nished by office of City Engineer of Salt Lake City.
Correction. In WSP 1314, the mean for August 1912 is published in error; it should be 69.3 cfs. The maximum daily discharge under "Extremes" also is published in error; it should be as listed under ''Extremes lr~above. The figure of 848 cfs published in WSP 1314 is the momentary maximum discharge for June 7, 1912.

2970. Topaz Reservoir near Topaz, Calif.
Location. Lat 38°41'35", long 119°31'10", in NW^NE^ sec.33, T.10 N., R.22 E., at outletworks of Topaz Reservoir, 5? miles north of Topaz.
Records available. December 1921 to September 1960. gage. Float and staff gages. Datura of gage is at mean sea level (levels by Walker River
Irrigation District). Extremes.--1921-60: Maximum contents observed, 60,240 acre-ft June 30, 1941 (elevation, 5,005.35 ft); no contents observed Oct. 31, 1924, Sept. 22, 24-30, 1960.Remarks. Topaz Reservoir, formerly known as Alkali Lake, was formed by the diversion of water from West Walker River through a feeder canal and the construction of an outlet
tunnel through a low saddle in rim of lake. Storage began Jan. 30, 1922. Usable capac ity, 59,440 acre-ft between elevations 4,972.3 (lowest practical elevation for diver sion through tunnel, bottom of outlet tunnel at elevation 4,970 ft) and 5,005 ft (3 ft below top of levee). Capacity of reservoir increased from about 45,000 to 59,440 acre- ft in October 1937 by an earth-fill, rock-faced levee at south end. Figures given herein represent usable contents. Water is used for irrigation in Walker River Irriga tion District.
