LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
GEOLOGICAL SuRvEY oF' GEORGIA,
ATLANTA, July 7, 1908.
To His E.x-cellency, HoKE SMITH, Governor and President of the. Advisory Board of the Geological Survey of Georgia.
SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report on the Water Powers of Georgia to be published as Bulletin No. 16 of this Survey. This is the second bulletin which has been issued by the Survey on this very important subject; and, like the first report, :Bulletin No. 3, is tile result of co-operative work between the State Geological Survey and the United States Geological Survey. The report is, in a large measure, a reprint of Water-Supply and Irrigation PaperNo. I97, entitled the Water Resources of Georgia, published by the United States Geological Survey in I907, with the addition of considerable data subsequently collected. I would here add that the manuscript copy of this bulletin was submitted to tnis Survey by the Hall Brothers in 1905 at the same time a copy was furnished the United States Geological Survey; but, owing to the ill health of my predecessor, its publication has been delayed until 'the present.
Very respectfully yours, S. W. McCALLIE., State Geologist.

Water Powers of Georgia
TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY
GENERAL FEATURES
A systematic study of the' water powers of the State requires a 'knowledge of the drainage systems,. which are somewhat intricate.
The topography of the State is peculiar. Chattahoochee Ridge, which runs from the northeast corner of the State in a southwesterly and southerly direction through Gainesville, Atlanta, Griffin, Fort Valley, Fitzgerald, and through the Okefenoke Swamp to the Florida line, divides the waters of the Atlantic Ocean from the waters -of the Gulf of Mexico and forms tha. backbone of the State. The great drainage basins on the Atlantic slope are the Savannah, the Ogeechee, the Altamaha, the Satilla, and the St. Marys. Those draining into the Gulf are the Suwanee basin, including Suwanee River and tributaries; the Ochlockonee basin, emptying into Och'lockonee Bay; the Apalachicola basin, including Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers, emptying at Apalachicola, Florida; the Mobile basin, or Coosa River system, draining to Mobile, Alabama; and the Ten11essee basin, including Hiawassee, Nottely, and Toccoa (Ocoee) Rivers, which flow throughTennessee and Mississippi rivers, empty-
ing into the Gulf at New Orleans. The last basin is cut off from
all the others by the Blue Ridge Mountains, which run across the northern end of the State. Some idea of the diversity of drainage may be had from the statement that there are three springs in northeast Georgia within a stone's throw of each other that send out their waters to Savannah, Georgia, to Apalachicola, Florida, and to New Orleans, Louisiana.
The streams of the Savannah, Altamaha, Apalachicola, Mobile, and Tennessee basins begin in, and have a large part of their territory lying in, the crystalline or granitic region, which is all that 1)art of the State lying north of the southern fall line, and east of the western fall line. The streams of these drainage basins rise at ele-

vations from goo to 2,ooo feet above sea-level and flow along the
high Pi~dmont Plateau in a succession of cascades until they come to the fall line, where they take their last leap from the granitic bed rock to the navigable waters of the younger geologic formations.
The southern fall line passes through Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon, and Columbus, and marks the ancient Atlantic coast line and the present division between the crystalline and Cretaceous geologic formations. Along this line, which is practically parallel to the Blue Ridge Mour).tains, the Cretaceous lies unconformably upon gneiss, the surface of which slopes toward the sea at a steep angle, and gives unmistakable evidence of having f01~mecl at one time a barren rocky seacoast similar to that of Massachusetts.
The western fall line passes through Carters on Coo.sawattee River and Cartersville on Etowah River and marks the ancient coast line. of the Gulf of Mexico or Paleozoic Sea and the present division between the Crystalline and Paleozoic geologic formations. The conditions along this fall line have no similarity to those along the southern fall line. The formations, both crystalli11e and Paleozoic, have been wrinkled, folded, and faulted by lateral pressure to such an extent that no contact slope exists between the two formations along which percolation could take place. Etowah River below Cartersville shows a hard blue limestone bed rock, out of which many bold springs flow into the river, and while the best shoal on the . river is at Cartersville in the crystalline bed rock just above the fall line, the river is a series of shoals all the way clown to Rome, where it unites with the navigable Oostanaula to form Coosa River.
The western fall line crosses the Coosawattee in Murray county at Carters, which is the head of navigation. The country along the Coosawattee below Carters is mainly a pervious shale that drinks up most of the smaller streams in driest weather. Although very large limestone springs having a good flow at all seasons abound, yet during long dry spells the streams from niost of them become smaller and smaller as the distance from the fountain head increases, and finally soak into the ground and disappear.
From the foregoing discussion it will be seen that the largest and most important water powers of the State are in the crystalline area north of the southern fall line and east ot the western fall line. It will be convenient, therefore, in this discussion to divide the State

TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY
hydrographically into three areas: ( r) The crystalline area in Middle and Northeastern Georgia as above defined; ( 2) the Paleozoic area in Northwest Georgia, and (3) the coastal plain lying south of tt:he southern fall line and embracing more than half the State.

THE CRYSTALLINE AREA

The crystalline area embraces the Blue Ridge Mountain region, with elevations from r,ooo to 4,8oo feet above sea-level, and the Piedmont Plateau, with elevations rom 6oo to r,6oo feet above sea-level. The rivers of the Piedmont Plateau in this region rise at very high altitudes and flow over granite, gneiss, etc., with precipitous falls in successions of shoals and eddies, between high hills, affording excellent sites for dams and canals, and are peculiarly adapted to the development of high-head water powers, with a good and constant water supply. The following table shows the fall on the main rivers that cross the fall lines in the State:

The above table gives an idea of the fall to the mile on the main rivers of the lower part of the Piedmont Plateau. The upper sections of these streams and of their tributaries are e_ven more precipitous. Some shoals on tributaries are as follows :
Broad River, 63 feet in 2 miles. Tallulah River, 525 feet in 2% miles. Towaliga River, 96 feet in 1,200 feet Neither the rivers nor their tributaries have any regularity in fall; it is concentrated in shoals over hard ledges of granite or gneiss, with long stretches of gentle flow between. 'These streams will be considered in detail in the body of this report, and each shoal of importance will be mentioned.

WATER POWER.$ OP GEORGIA

'l'HE PALEOZOIC AREA
The Paleozoic area lies from 400 to I ,ooo feet above sea level. 'The only river in it with much fall is the Etowah, which at Cartersville crosses the fall line from crystalline bed rock to limestone. Be1ween this point and Rome the shoals are caused by harder limestone :ledges, the total fall being I09 feet in 46 miles. The tributaries of 'this river, together with those of the Conasauga, Oostanaula, Coosa, ::mel Tennessee, furnish a large number of small water powers that are valuable for local enterprises, as they are mainly in rich agricultural districts. The entire area abounds also in large springs that can be relied on to furnish a _pure and unfailing water supply for municipal and industrial purposes.

'I' HE COAS'I'AL PLAIN

The elevation of the Coastal Plain varies from tide water up to sao feet above sea level. The large rivers from the crystalline belt cross the southern fall line into this area at the follovving elevations above sea level :

Four of these rivers are rated as navigable streams below the points mentioned. The Savannah and Chattahoochee have regular steamhoat lines to these points, but the Oconee and Ocmulgee will require considerable Government work before they can be navigated to Milledgeville and Macon, respectively. Flint River is shoaly all the way to Albany. It is the only one of these rivers that can be -counted on for any water power in this area, but on smaller streams there are hundreds of good powers well distributed, many of which are already developed for local uses.
This part of Georgia is developing more rapidly as an agricultural and fruit-raising region than is any other part of the State. Its pine forests are still a great source of wealth, but land that has yielded its

full crop of turpentine and timber is proving more valuable for wtton, corn, watermelons, cantaloupes, pecans, pears, peaches, garden vegetables, and Georgia cane sirup. The climate is mild and healthful, the streams are bold and constant, and the supply of artesian water is abundant and of the best quality.

USES OF WATER
IRRIGATION
In the ariel region of the Western States, where the rainfall is not sufficient or is not properly distributed through the year for making crops, the most important use of water is for irrigation. In Georgia and other Southern and Eastern States the rainfall is much greater and more evenly distributed through the year, but, nevertheless, the lack of rain at the proper time -often cuts a crop to one-half or onethird what it would have beeri with one additional wetting at the
time most needed. Thus a small amount of water in storage and
ready for use will do more good in the East, where it has the help of frequent rains through a large part of the crop season, than will a much greater amount of water in the arid West, where artificial irrigation must be depended on exclusively.
Market gardening is one of the most attractive and most profitable agricultural pursuits in the South, but irrigation is almost a necessity for making the business a safe one. In any event, it can be relied on to double the yield of one crop and to enable the gardener to make from two to three crops on the same land in the same year. In Georgia the gardening season is ordinarily from February to July, but with irrigation it can be extended to November and even later. In Florida the gardening season is in winter, from November to April. This is the dry season, but the planters irrigate from flowing artesian wells and ship celery, lettuce, and other vegetables all winter. This system is being rapidly introduced in southern Georgia.
Artesian wells are the ideal source of water for individual irriga:tion plants where they can be had at small expense and where the supply is sufficient.
Gravity systems by means of storage clams and canals are more extensive in their application and are practicable on the lowlands of

river and creek valleys having adjacent hill country from which tributaries flow at a higher elevation. These trib.utaries can be impounded by large storage clams, and small ca.nals can be cut along the hillsides near the foot of the hills to furnish water for irrigating the lowlands. A small stream, properly stored, can be made to irrigate a large area in this way, as one good wetting at the proper time is all that a crop is likely to need.
Hydraulic rams, which are now manufactured of large capacity, can be relied on for pumping water to any desired elevation for irrigating high lands. 'Some plants of this kind are now in use in Geor-
gia and are giving, good .results. The water is pumped up by the
.1:am into a large reservok excavated on a clay hill or made by a dam in a high ravine. The Water thus accumulated for months is held until needed and is run tht()(tgh open ditches onto the fields below the reservoir level. A smallstream having a flow of So gallons a minute and a fall ofi2b feet will op~t:ate a ram that will pump I5,ooo gallons a day to a height of Id6 feet above the ram. This :amount of water, stored as sttggestecl, will furnish all necessary irrigation to IO or I2 acres in thls State.
A ram of this size takes its water throt1g11 a 4-inch drive pipe.
Rams are made in all sizes, from a I-inch rain using 3 gallons a
minute to a duplex I2-inch ram using two I2-inch drive pipes and a water supply of I,5oo gallons a min:ute. One of the latter placed on a stream having a flow of I,SOO gallor'ls a minute, which is a very :small creek, will utilize a shoal of 20 feet and pump 288,ooo gallons a clay to a height of 100 feet above the rarh. Such creeks are found .in all parts of the crystalline region and are plentiful in the hilly parts of the Paleozoic area and of the Coastal Plain. Any amount of fall from 4 feet up to 40 feet can be utilized, the amount of water pumped being directly as the drive head and inversely as the lift. These improved rams open up great possibilities for cheap water supply. Their first cost is very moderate, and they pump by water power, requiring no attendant.
Near the coast, where the streams have very little fall, the agricultural lands are on a low level, from 5 to I 5 feet above the streams, and the supply of pine wood for fuel is abundant. Under these contlitiQns centrifugal steam pumps can be run very economically to give abundant water for irrigation.

USES OF WATER

23

USE OF' WATER FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSES AND MUNICIPAL SUPPLY

Pure drinking ~ater is abundant in all parts of the State. In north and middle Qeorgia it is obtained from wells, springs, and pure streams. Farther south the best supply is from artesian wells. Most of the large cities of north and middle Georgia get their supply from rivers. Atlanta uses filtered water from the Chattahoochee; Augusta froin the Savannah; Macon from the Ocmulgee, and other cities of the region from rivers or local creeks. Savannah, Albany, Americus, Thomasville, Dublin, and other south Georgia municipalities get their supply from artesian wells. In country and suburban communities hydraulic rams are largely used for dairy farms .and other domestic supplies. There are also many gravity systems in the mountains and artesian wells in the coastal plain.

USE OF' WATER FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES
The supply of water for mining, quarrying, manufacturing, steam making, etc., is very important.
Gold mining is a great industry in the State, and water is largely used for hydraulic work in placers and also in saprolite belts. In the latter class of mining, the water excavates and transports the material in long flumes, automatically depositing the loose gold in the sluice riffles, separating the slate, clay, and slimes from the quartz, and landing the concentrated ore in the mill, where it is .crushed by stamps. The free gold is amalgamated on copper plates, and the auriferous iron sulphides are saved on a concentrator and reduced by chlorination and precipitation of the gold. All of these processes require large quantities of water. In the Dahlonega region water for hydraulic mining is brought long distances in open canals along the hillsides and hilltops. Some of these canals are 40 miles and more in length and have cost many thousands of dollars. One of the most famous is the Yahoola ditch from the upper waters ,of Yahoola Creek. It is 20 miles long from its head to the town of Dahlonega and has supplied mines through branch ditches IO and IS miles in length. It carries from soo to I,ooo miners' inches of water, and water has been sold from it for many years at I2 cents ;per miner's inch per day. A miner's inch, Colorado standard, is

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA
I I .74 gallons, or I Yz cubic feet per minute, or one-fortieth of a cubic
foot per second. In a large part of the extensive gold regions of the State the min-
ing is underground work in which water is not used for excavation, but a large amount of battery water is used in the mills, and an additional supply is needed for the concentrators.
Water is also used extensively in the washing and concentrating processes of iron, manganese, ocher, barytes, pyrites, corundum, asbestos, bauxite, and other minerals.
Quarrying industries require a good water supply, both f01: making steam and for operating rock drills. The rnarble qtmrries near Tate, Marble Hill, and Ball Ground, in Pickens County; the granite quarries at Stone Mountain, Lithonia, Conyers, Lexington, Elberton, and other points; the National Cement Quarries at Cement, Georgia, near Kingston; the slate and limestone quarries of the Southern States Portland Cement Company at Rockmart; and other quarries throughout the State are operated on a large scale.
Immediately allied with the quarrying industry are the great marble manufacturing mills at Tate, Matble Hill, Nelson, Ball Ground, Canton, and Marietta for sawing and finishing marble. The sawing and rubbing is done with sand and water, requiring: a good water supply. Aside from the water required for power, there are many manufacturing industries, such as paper making and bleacheries, that can not be operated without pure water and a great deal of it.
There are many large springs in the Paleozoic region of northwest Georgia and also in the Coastal Plain of south Georgia that are clear and sparkling and excellent for drinking purposes, but that contain carbonates of lime and magnesia in solution, either of which is objectionable in a water to be used in chemical purposes such as bleaching; if present in large quantities they even render the water unfit for steam boilers, as they deposit incrustations of lime and magnesia on the inside of the boiler. The springs of the crystalline region of middle and northeast Georgia are generally pure, containing no carbonates and a very insignificant amount of the other mineral ingredients, but in the greater part of this area the springs are small, rarely having a flow of more than ro or IS gallons a minute. The exception to this rule is a belt of country within the crystalline

WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS

region, running nearly east and west along the pine mountain range in Pike, Upson, Meriwether, Talbot, and Harris Counties, in which there are large springs of pure freestone water, suitable both in quantity and quality for bleacheries, fish hatcheries, etc. One. of the largest of these is the Cold Spring in Meriwether County, at Bullochville, about I mile below Warm Springs, Georgia, on the Georgia Midland division of the Southern Railway. It has a flow of 2,025 gallons per minute, and is utilized as a fish hatchery by the United States Fish Commission. It issues from a ledge of vitrified sandstone, which is continuous through the entire region, and forms: the backbone of the pine mountain range, which is geologically the coast range of Georgia. Warm Spring, about I mile distant, has a flow of I,89o gallons a minute, but is evidently of a much deeper origin, as its temperature is 87 Fahrenheit. There are many other springs of the same character as Cold Spring along the pine mountain belt, one of the most prominent of which is Big Blue Spring, in Harris County, which has been proposed as a water supply for the city of Columbus.
In other parts of the State probably one of the best sources of pure, clear water for chemical use is found in the gravel beds underlying the.river bottom land. These gravel beds lie immediately on the bed rock and can generally be relied on to furnish a good supply of water that has been clarified by a natural filter.

WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS a

MEASUREMENT OF FLOW

In order to obtain a knowledge of the water supply, or amount

of water flowing in the streams at all seasons, certain convenient sta-

tions have been established on important rivers and tributaries.

A gage for observing the stage of the river is established at a:.

bridge or other place where the record of flow is to be made. This

gage is a vertical staff, or some other device by which the height of

water may be observed, and is read each day by a person living near

by. The average of the gage readings, if more than one, in any day

is used as the mean gage height for that day.

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA

At various stages of the river one of the hydrographers of the .Survey visits the station and measures with a current meter the :art1otmt of water flowing. This meter is primarily an instrument for measuring the velocity of moving water, and consists essentially of a wheel with vanes, which may be shaped like those of a windmill or of a screw, or with cups like "those of an anemometer, the 11ecessary qualification being that moving water shall readily cause the wheel of the meter to turn. Each meter is rated before use. 'The rating is done by moving the meter through still water at variOUS observed speeds to determine the relation between the velocity with which the 'meter moves through the water and the revolutions -of the wheel. This relation having been determined, the meter is used in running water, the revolutions per unit of time noted, and the velocity of the water computed.
Observations of depth of water are also made, and from them the area i11 cross section of each portion of the stream is computed; each partial area multiplied by the mean velocity of that area gives a partial discharge; the sum of the partial discharges is the total distharge of the stream.
Measurements of flow as outlined above are made covering a con:siderable range of gage height. They are then plotted on coordinate paper, with gage heights for ordinates and discharges for abscissas, .:and a smooth curve, called the rating curve, is drawn through the points. From this curve a rating table is made which shows the discharge of the stream for 'any gage height.
The data necessary for the construct-ion of a rating table for a gaging station as just stated are (I) the results of the discharge measurements, which include the record of stage of the river at the time of measurement, the area of the cross section, the mean velocity ref the current and the quantity of water flowing, and ( 2) a thorough knowledge of the conditions at and in the vicinity of the sta:tion.
The construction of the rating table depends on the following 'laws of flow for open permanent channels: (I) The discharge will remain constant so long as the conditions at and near the gaging :station remain constant; ( 2) neglecting the change of slope due to -;the rise and fall of the stream, the discharge will be the same when-

WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS

27

~ver the stream is at a given stage; ( 3) the discharge is a function of, and increases gradually with, the stage.
The plotting of results of the various discharge measurements, using gage heights as ordinates, and discharge, mean velocity, and area as abscissas, will define curves which show the discharge, mean velocity, and area corresponding to any gage height. For the development of these curves there shotild be, therefore, a sufficient number of discharge measurements to cover the range of the stage of the stream.a
As the discharge is the product of two factors, the area and the mean velocity, any change in either factor alone will produce a corresponding change in the discharge. Their curves are therefore constructed in order to study each independently of the other.
The area curve can be definitely determined from accurate soundings extending to the limits of high water. It is always concave toward the horizontal axis or on a straight line, unless the banks of the stream are overhanging.
The form of the mean-velocity curve depends on the surface slope, the roughness of the bed, and the cross section of the stream. Of these. the slope is the principal factor.
This curve may be a straight line, or a curve either convex or concave, or may be a combination of tli.ese three forms, owing to the relative degree to which any of the factors are present or to the change which they undergo during the change of gage height.' A careful study of the conditions at a gaging station makes it possible to predict the form of this curve and to extend it beyond the limits of the actual measur~me.nts.
The discharge curve is defined primarily by the measured discharges, and when these do not cover the entire range of gage height for which it is desired to make a rating table, the curve is sometimes extended by the use of the area and mean-velocity curves, which have themselves been extended, as above shown. This curve, under normal conditions, is concave toward the horizontal axis and is generally parabolic in form.
In preparing the rating table the discharge for each tenth on the

a A tyoical rating CllrVEl with corresponding area and mean velocity curves is given; in Water Supply and Irrigation Paper No. 168, 1906, p. 17.

WATER POWERS OF GEOR'GIAJ
gage is taken frqm the curve, and the differences. between successive discharges are then adjusted according to the 1aw that they shall be either increasing .or constant. The finished rating table shows the discharge in cubic feet per second, corresponding to each tenth of a foot on the gage; and is used to supply the discharge va1ues to the daily gage heights furnished by the observer in making up the daily or monthly estimate of flow.
DE:B'INI'l'IONS
The volume of water flowing in a stream, the ":run-o.ff,'' is expressed in various terms; each of which is associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided into two classes: Those which represent a rate of flow, as second-foot, gallons per minute, and run-off in seco11d-feet per square mile, and those which repre'sent actual quantities of water, as run-off in depth in inches. They may be defined as follows:
"Second-foot" is an abbreviation for cubic foot per second and is the quantity of water flowing in a stream I foot wide, I foot deep, at the rate of I foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental unit from which the others are computed.
"Gallons per minute" is generally used in connection with pumping and city water supply.
"Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per second from each square mile of area chained, on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.
"Run-off in inches" is the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if all the water flowing from it in a gi:ven period were conserved and uniformly distributed over the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed m depth in inches.

The descriptions of stations give such general information about the locality and equipment as would enable the reader to find and use the station. They also give, as far as possible, a complete history of all the changes that have occurred since the establishment of the station that would affect the use of the data collected.
The discharge-measurement table gives the results of the discharge measurements made during each year, and includes the elate, the gage height, and the discharge in second-feet.
The table of daily gage heights gives for each clay the mean height of the surface of the river, as found from the mean of the gag-e read1ngs taken on that clay.
The rating table gives discharges in second-feet corresponding to each stage of the river, as given by the gage-heights.
In the table of estimated run-off the column headed "Maximum" gives the mean flow for the clay when the mean gage height was the highest, and it is the flow as given in the rating table for that mean gage height. As the gage height is the mean for the clay, there might have been short periods when the water was higher and the corresponding discharge larger than given in this column. Likewise, in the column of "Minimum," the quantity given is the mean flow for the day when the mean gage height was lowest. The column headed "Mean" gives the average flow for each second during the month. Upon this mean the computations for the remaming columns al:e based.

SAVANNAH RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN
DESCRIPTION OF BASIN
Savannah River is formed by the junction of Tugaloo and Seneca rivers, which unite about roo miles above Augusta, Georgia. It flows in a southeasterly direction, forming the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina, and empties into the Atlantic Ocean pear Savannah, Georgia. It is n~vigable up to Augusta, which is at the fall line.
Seneca River is formed by the junction of Little and Keowee rivers, about 5 miles northeast of Seneca, South Carolina. Both of these tributaries rise in the Blqe:; Ridge in North Carolina and the northwestern part of South Carolina.
Tugaloo River is formed by the junction of Chattooga and Tallulah rivers, which join at the western corner of Oconee County, South Carolina. It flows in a southeasterly direction and is a part of the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina. Chattooga River rises in Jackson County, North Carolina, and flows in a southwesterly direction along the boundary between Georgia and South .

Carolina. Tallulah River rises in Macon County, North Carolina, and in the northwestern part of Rabun County, Georgia, and flows in a southeasterly direction. Parts of its course are cut through the solid rock for hundreds of feet, forming canyons and steep bluffs. Throughout its entire length the fall is very great, and at Tallulah Falls the stream drops more than 500 feet in a short distance.
Broad River joins the Savannah at the southeast corner of Elbert County, Georgia. It rises in Habersham and Banks counties and flows in a, southeasterly ,direction to the southeast corner of Madison County,. Georgia, where the South Fork joins it. From there it flows east to Savannah River. Its drainage is from a rolling country, and there is a considerable amount of fall at various points. At Anthony Shoals the fall is more than 50 feet in a short distance. Above Augusta, Georgia, there is much fall, which can be developed for water power. Except at the large plant at Augusta, very little of this is being used.

TALLULAH RIVER AT TALLULAH F'ALLS
This station was originally established August ;9, r900, by M. R. Hall, and records of gage heights were obtained until October r9, r900. The record was resumed January r8, r9or, and p1aintained until December 3 r, r9or. The station was reestablished 'July ro, r904, when bench marks were determined and regular gage readings begun. The station is located at the wagon bridge about onefourth mile above the falls and about the same distance from the village of Tallulah Falls, Georgia.
The channel is nearly straight for 300 feet above and 200 feet below the station. The current is swift. Both banks are high, wooded, rocky bluffs and are not subject to overflow. The bed of the stream is composed of rock and is rough and permanent. There is but one channel at all stages.
Discharge maesurements are made from the iron wagon bridge, which has a single span of roo feet and rests on timber piers. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge on the upstream side at the left bank.
The original gage is a vertical rod spiked to a small maple tree on

the left bank of the river about 50 feet above the bridge. June 21,
1905, a s-foot rod gage was fastened vertically to the solid rock on
the right bank 25 feet above the bridge. 'I'he datum is the same as
that of the original g.age. 'I'he gage is read once each day by J. 'I'.

'l'UGALOO RIVER NEAR MADISON, SOUTH CAROLINA
This station was originally established July I9, I898, at Cooks Ferry and was discontinued December 3I, I90I, when the ferry was moved. It was reestablished July 7, I903, by M. R. Hall, at Hoicombs Ferry, I mile west of Madison, South Carolina, and 900 feet
below the Southern Railway bridge. This station is about I Yz miles
above the point where the old station was located. The bed of the river is sandy and the current is moderately swift.
The channel is about I6o feet wide and is fairly uniform in width and general appearance for some distance, being straight for I,ooo feet or more both above and below the station. The banks are both moderately high, but will overflow for about 200 feet on the right bank and 250 feet on the left. Both are open and cultivated except for a few trees along the edge of the-river. These conditions make it possible to obtain fairly good float measurements at the time of floods.
Discharge measurements are made from the ferry boat, or a small boat which is held in place by a cable stretched across the river. The initial.point for soundings is the land side of the windlass used for stretching the cable; it is located on the right bank. Distances are measured along the hand line which is used to pull the boat across the river.
The gage consists of a vertical timber in three sections. The first section reads from I to I6 feet and is attached to a sycamore tree on the left bank, about 30 feet above the ferry landing; the second section reads from I6 to 22 feet and is attached to a sycamore tree on the left bank, about I8 feet above the ferry landing; the third section reads from 2I to 3I feet and is fastened to a locust tree on the left bank at the forks of the road, about I75 feet from the ferry landing. The gage is read once each day by T. A. Spencer. The bench mark is a U. S. Geological Survey standard bronze tablet marked "666 Atlanta" on the right-bank pier of the Southern Railway bridge; elevation, 35.30 feet above the datum of the gage. It is 665.47 feet above sea level.

SAVANNAH RIVER NEAR CALHOUN FALLS) SOUTH CAROLINA.
Systematic measur:ememts were begum at this point August 4, I896. The station. is located at the Seaboat-d Air Line Railroad bridge, 3 miles west ,of Calhoun Falls, South Carolina, above the mouth of Beaver Dam Creek, at the l~ead of Trotters Shoal, and about one-fourth. mile bdCDw tlu.e rnouth of Rocky River. The ob-
~erver is Peter J. Pfeiffer, who reads the :gage once daily. The sta-
tion is also used .by the United States Weath.er Bureau, which pays the gage reader.
The river is divided il!ltCD t:w:G:> cham.mels by .a large island containing several hun.drecl acres. Botb channels are slightly. curved for about 2,000 feet above the bJcidg.e .and are straight for about 500 feet below. The west chanrrel, wl11ich is the main river, is sluggish only at low water. It laas a r.ough .a:tu.d .wclg bed .and in places the cur. rent is irregular.

SAVANNAH DRAINAGE BASllN, STREAM FLOW

The east channel is a good section, but has a low velocity. The right bank of the west channel and the left bank of the east channel are high and wooded and are not liable to overflow. The island between the channels is nearly covered at extreme high water. At low water the east channel is rso feet wide and from 3 to 4 feet deep.
The main channel is about 400 feet wide and froin z to 8 feet deep.
Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the railroad bridge, to which the gage is attached. This bridge consists of one short span I75 feet in length across the east channel and three spans of I55 feet each across the west, or main channel. These two sections are connected by 875 feet of a wooden trestle, from 35 to 45 feet high, which crosses the island between the two channels. The base of the rail. is about 54 feet above low water. The initial point for soundings is the left-bank end of the iron bridge on the up-stream side. A separate initial point has beeri used for each channel, the description being tl;1e same in both cases.
The chain gage is bolted to the downstream guard rail, r85 feet from the initial point for soimdings. The length of the chain from the index to the end of weight is 57 ro feet.
Bench mark No. I is the top of the iron girder under the crossties of the downstream side of the bridge at a point 40 feet west of the second pier from the east end of the bridge; elevation, 54 feet above the gage datum. Bench mark No. 3 is a copper plug set in solid rock on the east bank of the east channel, I 5 feet from the edge
of of the water and I IO feet upstream from the center the railroad
track; elevation, 14.38 feet above gage datum. The station was discontinued December 31, r903.
Gage heights and monthly estimates of_ flow for I90I and r902, previously published for this station, are considered unreliable and hence are not republished in this paper.

SAVANNAH RIVER AT WOODLAWN) SOUTH CAROLINA
This station was established November 9, I905, by M. R. Hall. _It is located at the Charleston and vVestem Carolina Railway bridge,.
I,ooo feet from the depot at Woodlawn, South Carolina, I7 miles. above Augusta, Georgia, and ro miles above the Augusta waterpower dam.
The flow is almost natural at this point, being affected very slightly by stored water, mostly from Seneca River. The river is; divided by a low island into two channels. The east channel is the main part of the river, as there is very little water flowing in thewest channel at ordinary stages and probably none at the lowest stage. The channel is practically straight at the stati01:. The left

bank is high and will not overflow except under the short trestle approach. The island and the bank for a short distance west of the west channel will overflow. The current is swift and is good in the greater part of the section at low water, but at places it is broken and irregular or is sloping with the direction of the section. The bed of the stream is mostly rock, the considerable roughness of which causes the irregularities in the current above mentioned. Careful measurements should give good results at this station.
Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the railroad bridge, which is in four spans over the east channel and a single span over the west channel. Across the island between the two channels there is about 900 feet of wooden trestle.
The gage is a boxed chain gage, attached to the upstream end of the second floor beam from the left end of the bridge. The length of the chain is 39 feet. It is read twice each day by M.A. Palmore. The bench mark is the top of the upstream end of the second floor beam from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 37-00 feet above the datum of the gage.

SAVANNAH RIVER AT AUGUSTA
Since I875 observations of river heights have been maintained at this station by the city of Augusta at the city highway bridge. The United States Weather Bureau has published the results of observations from I875 to I905 in a volume entitled "Stages of Water at River Stations."
The channel is straight for a long distance above and below the bridge and is about 560 feet wide at low water. The banks are high, but will overflow at times under a part of the length of the approaches and, at very high stages, for a long distance on either side of the river beyond the ends of the bridge. The bed of the stream is sandy and undergoes considerable change. The current is swift.
Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the North Augusta bridge at Thirteenth street in the city of Augusta. This bridge consists of three spans, each 208 feet long, with 3 I 9 feet of wooden approach on the right bank and 259 feet on the left. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank on the downstream side.
The gage, located at the Fifth Street Bridge, I mile below the

58

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA

measuring station, is a vertical timber fastened to the first bridge pier which is in the water on the side of the pier near the upstream corner, facing the right bank. Readings are made four times each day by]. M. Youngblood, keeper of the city bridge, usually 6 a. m.,. I2 m., 6 p. m., and 9 p. m. The 6 a. m. readings are those used by the Weather Bureau, but are liable to be very misleading, owing to the great diurnal fluctuation of the water surface, and should not be used for important work. In the publications of the United States Geological Survey since I900 the average of all four of the daily readings is used and is reduced to feet and tenths of a foot. The zero of the gage is the datum of all the city levels, and any city bench mark can therefore be used. A point is established on the North~ Augusta bridge from which to measure clown with a steel tape. This is the top of the plate through 'which the top pipe of the bridge fencing passes, which is riveted to the right side of the intermediate post at the clown-stream end of the third floor beam from the right-
bank end of the bridge, and at ordinary stages it is 55.00 feet above
water, less the reading of the gage.
This station is located below all the wheels of the large developed water power belonging to the city of Augusta.
Water is diverted from the river above the city by a canal following along the right bank, described in Volume XVI of the Tenth: Census, I88o, page 789. A measurement of the canal by B. M. HalL on September 29, I897, above all the water wheels, showed a flow of 2,640 second-feet, presumably all of which was passing through:
the water wheels under varying heads. The full head is 50 feet,.
but the canal has three levels. Some of the wheels discharge from the upper level or main canal directly into the river, while others. discharge from one level to another.
The highest water recorded was on September I I, I888, at 38.7 feet. At that time the entire city was submerged, 10 persons were drowned, and property was damaged to the amount .of $2,ooo,ooo.
The floods of this river have been investigated under the direction! of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, and reports pre-' pared by George W. Brown, assistant engineer. The first of these,. dated February I I, I889, was printed, with maps, as House Ex..

Doc. No. 213, Fifty-first Congress, first sessiorr11; it was also given,

with few maps, in the Report of the Chief of Engineers, United

States Army, r89o, page 1340. A later report, dated June ro, r890, also prepared by Mr: George W. Brown, was printed as Ex. Doc.



No. 255, Fifty-first Congress, second session. In this report is given

a rating table, showing the probable discharge ofthe river at heights.

on the gage of from 5 tci 40 feet. On page I7 of this latter docu-

ment is shown the run-off in cubic feet per second per square mile

for various portions of the drainage basin. A table of distances

and elevations and slope of river, as well as a description of the

character of the drainage basin, is also given.

From the figures in the above-named reports a computation was.

made by Cyrus C. Babb of the fluctuations of flow of Savannah

River, the results being published in the Fourteenth Annual Report,

Part II, of the United States Geological Survey, page 147, relating

to the years r884 to r89r, inclusive. A discussion of the results:

is also given in Transactions American Society of Civil Engineersr

Volume XXIII, page 332.

By the use of a rating table Mr. Hail has computed the minimum

-flow, by months,. from r892 to r898, inclusive. Jn each case he has.

taken the average of ali the readings for the day of lowest water in

the given month, and not the lowest single reading. The lowest

average daily reading for the seven,years is that on July 3, r8987 of 3.88.

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA
BROAD RIVER (oF GEORGIA) NEAR CARLTON
This station was established May 27, I897, by M. R. Hall. The gage is now maintained and the observer paid by the United States Weather Bureau. The station is located at the Seaboard Air Line bridge 3 miles east of Carlton and 2 miles above the mouth of the South Fork.
The channel above and below the station is straight for 500 feet. The right bank is high and is not liable to overflow. The left bank is low for about 400 feet, beyond which it is high and rocky. It overflows at a gage height of about I6 feet. The bed of the stream is. sand and gravel and is somewhat changeable.
Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the deck bridge, which has two spans of I25 feet each, with trestle approaches 340 feet long on the left bank and 50 feet long on the right bank. The initia~ point for soundings is the end of the iron bridge on the right bank, upstream side.
A standard chain gage is fastened to the guard rail, with its bottom resting on the upstream end of the cross-ties. The center of the pulley is 395 feet from the initial point for soundings. The length of the chain is 54.00 feet. The gage is read once each clay by S. P. Powers, jr. During the low water of October I to December 3I,. I905, the gage was read twice each clay. Bench marks were established as follows : (I) The top of the upstream iron girder under the cross-ties at a point about 40 feet from the initial point for soundings; elevation, 5I feet. ( 2) The top of the capstone of the right bank pier at a point under the upstream side of the end of the bridge; elevation, 30.78 feet above the datum of the gage, which is. 384 feet above sea level.

Sr

BROAD RIVER (SOUTH F'ORK) NEAR CARLTON
This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located at Bull Bat Rock, about I mile south of Carlton, Ga. Discharge measurements are made at a shoal about Ioo yards above the rock by means of a boat. The initial point for soundings is a small sweetgum tree on the left bank. The channel is curved for 200 feet above and sao feet below the station. The current is sluggish. The right bank is cultivated and the left is wooded. Both banks are subject to overflow at rare intervals. The bed of the stream is composed of rock and is very rough. The bench mark is composed of three copper nails driven into the gum tree, which forms the initial point for sounding. Its elevation is s.oo feet above datum.

MISCELLANEOUS MEASUREMENTS IN SAVANNAH RIVER DRAINAGE
BASIN
Broad River (South Fork).-A measurement was made May 4, I904, at the foot of the shoals below Watson's mill .near Carlton, as follows:
Width, so feet; area, Sr square feet; mean velocity, r.28 feet per second; discharge, 104 second-feet. The gage at Carlton read 2.20 feet.
The following measurement was made March r6, 1904, at tl:J.e
Seaboard Air Line railroad bridge, I Yz miles west of Comer. The
bench mark is the top of the girder at sounding point 30.. Its elevation is "49.00 feet above the datum of the gage.
Width, 74 feet; area, 68 square feet; mean velocity, r.s6 "feet per second; gage height, r.r8 feet; discharge, ro6 second-feet.
Chattooga River.-This river joins the Tallulah River and forms Tugaloo River. The following measurement was made November I6, I905, from a small boat at a point about 5 miles northeast of Tallulah Falls, at a narrow channel about I,ooo feet below Atkins Ferry and opposite B. H. Atkin's residence. There is a small shoal

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA
:about I 50 feet below and one 300 feet above the point of measure- :ment. At the time of flood in I876 the water is said to have been :36 to 40 feet higher than the present stage and did much damage to (property. The bench mark is the center of the head of a wire nail driven horizontally into a sycamore stump, which stands on the :right bank about 200 feet above the point of measurement; elevation, 6. I 3 feet above the datum of the assumed gage. The gage height at the same time at the regular station on Tallulah River at Tallulah Falls was 0.82 foot.
Width, ro7 feet; area, 442 square feet; mean velocity, 0.77 foot per second; gage height, 2.00 feet; discharge, 339 second-feet.
Little River.-Two measurements were made June 6, I905, near \iVashingtou. The bench i11ark is the top of the downstream wooden stringer under the cross-ties at the center of the first span of the railroad bridge at the right bank; elevation, 29.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.
Measurement at bridge of Washington Branch of Georgia Railroad: \ilfidth, 37 feet; area, 59 square feet; mean velocity, 0.58 foot per second; gage height, L40 feet; discharge, 34 second-feet.
Measurement at wagon bridge, 400 feet above railroad bridge; width, 47 feet; area, rSs square feet; mean velocity, o. rg foot per secohd; gage height, 1.40 feet;. discharge, 35 second-feet.
Panther Creel~ ..:__The following measurement was made J nne 22, 1905, a short distance below where the Tallulah Falls Railroad .crosses Panther Creek, near Tallulah Falls. The stage of the creek was probably somewhat high at the time of gaging, owing to show..ers the day before.
Width, 9 feet; area, s.Ss square feet; mean velocity, r.r7 feet per second; .discharge, 6.82 second-feet.
Tiger Creel~.-This stream is tributary to Tallulah River from the north, entering near Tallulah Falls. The following mea?urement was made J nne I 3 from the railroad trestle, one-fourth mile northwest of Wiley.

SURVEY OF CHATTOOGA RIVER.
The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum tablet, marked "roso M. C.," at the Washington street entrance to _the State capitol at Atlanta, the elevation of which is accepted as !',649 546 feet above mean sea level. The initial point upon which these levels depend is a bench mark of primary levels of the Tugaloo and Savannah River survey at the mouth of Chattooga River.. The elevations accord with the r903 adjustment.
The leveling was clone for the U. S. Geological Survey in r903 by Thomas B. O'Hagan, levelman, under the direction of Carroll Caldwell, field assistant.

'vVATER POWER IN SAVANNAH RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
GENERAL S'I'A'I'EMEN'I'.
It is intended that the foregoing lists of water surface elevations along the main river and tributaries above Augusta shall give full and complete data in regard to the total fall and its distribution on these streams :

g8

WATER POWERS OF GEORGI//

The record of the hyclrographic stations at Augusta, Ga., Calhoun Falls, S. C., and Fort Madison, S. C., on Savannah and Tugaloo Rivers, Carlton on Broad River, and Tallulah Falls on Tallulah River will form a basis for estimating the amount of water flowing at all points.
In the following, attention is called to certain important shoals and proposed grouping of shoals into proposed powers, and mention is made of some of the conditions relative to developing these powers, as well as to powers already utilized.

TALLULAH RIVER.
From the mouth of Popcorn Creek, near the headwaters, clown to mouth of Tiger Creek, a distance of 25 miles, the fall is 265 feet, and as can be seen from the list of elevations is almost uniformly distributed, being slightly more than IO feet to the mile. At a few points ~n the section the drop is from 5 to ro feet in a short distance,. and good small-power sites are available. In the next 4 miles below Tiger Creek the fall is 55 feet. This reaches the head of the rapids above Tallulah Falls, at which point there is an excellent location for a large storage dam. The fall from here down to the head of .TallulahFalls proper is IIO feet. Somewhere in this section the water should be diverted to a canal if the falls proper should ever be developed into a water power, as by beginning the canal at high enough elevation it can be put on comparatively good ground outside the gorge. A large water power can be develop.ed in this section .entirely above the falls proper at a comparatively small expense. Along Tallulah River, beginning at Tallulah Falls, is some of the most picturesque anc\ rugged scenery in the Southern States. In 3Yz miles the river drops from I,4I4 to 754 feet above sea level, or a distance of 66o feet. The principal falls, in the order they occur, are L'eau D'or 28 feet, Tempesta 76 feet, Hurricane 89 feet, Oceana 4I feet, Bridal Veil I 7 feet, all occurring within a distance of less than three-fourths of a mile. The gorge is very difficult and dangerous to climb. On both banks are precipitous cliffs, rising in some places sao feet shear. The gorge continues to the Tugaloo, except for one stretch about one-half mile long, where it opens up and forms what is known as the Old Valley farm. In the 2,Yz miles above the

SAVANNAH DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER

99

mouth of the river there is a fall of 254 feet, all below the falls proper, which could be used for power without interfering with Tallulah Falls.

WA'I'ER POWER ON 'I'UGALOO RIVER.
From the head of Tugaloo River clown to the mouth of Panther Creek, a distance of 4_Y:; miles, there are some good shoals, the total fall being 85 feet. The banks are favorable for power development along the eutii:-e stretch. From Panther Creek to Averys Ferry, a distance of 35 miles, the slope is too gentle and the valley too wide to utilize the river without flooding considerable farmi11g land.
Chandler Shoals, I 74 miles below Averys Ferry, begin near Brad-
berry Ferry and have a fall of IO feet in three-fourths mile. Threefourths of a mile below are Hatten Shoals, with a fall of 35 feet in 2 miles. These shoals are considered the finest on the river; a 45foot dam at them would back the water about 4 miles, with very little damage to cultivated land. From this point down to the mouth of Seneca River, which is the head of Savannah River, the fall is I4 feet in a distance of 4 miles.

WATER POWER ON SAVANNAH RIVER.
The fall i1~ Savannah River for the first 7 miles, down to the head of McDaniels Shoals, is 20 feet. At McDaniels Shoals there is a fall of I9 feet in 3 miles. Half a mile above the foot of the shoals, at the head of Harpers Island, is an excellent site for a dam about 700 feet long.
In the 4 miles between this power and the next at Turners Shoals .the fall is I2 feet. At Turners Shoals there is a fall of I7 feet in .about 4_Y:; miLes. These shoals begin at Kenly Ferry and extend to Crafts Ferry. The river widens considerably about a mile below Kenly Ferry. There are several good sites for clams, one being on Crafts Island. The river is wide, however, requiring a clam about I,ooo feet long.
Half a mile below, at Middleton Shoals, there is a fall of r I feet in I f;4 miles, with an excellent site for a clam at the foot of the shoals. In I _Y:; m.iles below, the fall is 5 feet. This reaches the head Of Gregg Sl1oals, where the fall is 8 feet in about a mile. Here the

100

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA

river runs between steep hills, and a clam would be about 900 feet'. long.
Half a mile below Moseleys Ferry are the Cherokee Shoals, hav-
ing I 9 feet fall in 2 Yz miles. This is a very fine power site,. as the'
river runs between steep hills. A dam would have to be r,ooo feet: long, and would be placed about a quarter of a mile aboYe tfre Sea-: board Air Line railroad bridge.
One and a quarter miles below the bridge are Trotters Shoals;. with a fall of 75 feet in 6 miles. These are considered the finest shoals on the river. They commence at the foot of vVatkins Island and extend below Tate's mill to Coffer Creek. In this distance there are numerotis rocky bluffs where there are excellei1t dam sites.
In the next 5 miles, extending to the mouth of Broad River, the fall is I I feet. Fwm the mouth of Broad River clow11 to Little: River, from the South Carolina side, the fall is slight, being 23 feet in the distance of I 6 miles. From this point clown to the upper end of Long Shoals the fall is 42 feet in 6 miles.
The fall is 23 feet in the next 5 miles, extending to the foot of Scotts Shoals. From here to the Augusta clam the-fall is 28 feet in I 5 miles.
At Augusta the power is fully developed by a clam about IO feet high and a canal 7 miles long. The head is about 50 feet. This power belongs to the city of Augusta. It was developed in I84SI847 and t11e canal was enlarged in I872-I875.

WATER POWER ON CHATTOOGA RIVER.
Tallulah River unites with Chattooga River to form the Tugaloo. Chattooga River contains many available undeveloped power sites. From its mouth to Warwoman Creek, a distance of 23 miles, the river flows through a wild, rugged country, being in a gorge almost the entire distance, which results in a very narrow and swift stream. There are numerous dam sites along this distance, the river being almost one continuous shoal, averaging a fall of 32 feet to the mile, and having a fine rock bottom, with rock cliffs on either sick From Warwoman Creek up to Russells Bridge the valley is wide and the fall is much less, being 78 feet in 7 miles.

ror

WATER POWER ON BROAD RIVER.
1n the 4% miles from the mouth of the river to foot of Anthony 'Shoals the fall is I 3 feet, 8 feet of which occurs in a distance of I 1mile at Millford Shoals.
Anthony Shoals is the finest power site on the river and is one of
the best in the State, the fall being 62 feet in a distance of I% miles:
:Several plans have been proposed for developing the power. Probably the best plan is to build a dam near the upper end of the shoal 'high enough to raise the water at least IO feet, and to construct a <Canal to a point near the foot of the shoals. The proposed raise of IO feet would back the water IO miles up the river to the foot of Fish dam, where there is a 3-foot dam, 250 feet long, furnishing .power for a gristmill and a sawmill. From Fish dam to the mouth Of South Broad River, IS miles, there is a fall of 23 feet, with no .shoal of any consequence. The bottoms are wide in most places .and are in a high state of cultivation.
One mile above the mouth of South Broad River are the Detweiler Shoals, with a fall of 7 feet in one-half mile. A mile and a lhalf farther are the Lower Moore Shoals, with a fall of 7 feet in ,one-third mile, with good outcrops of hard rock on both sides. A <dam here would be about 350 feet long.
Five miles farther up the river are Payton Shoals with a fall of .3 feet im orne-third mile. In the 4 miles from Payton Shoals to the foot of Moores Shoals the fall is 29 feet. At Moores Shoals there -is a fall of 28 feet in I _74 miles. Above this point there are several shoals with good sites for clams. The fall is 35 feet for the first 5 miles up to the mouth of Blue Creek, and about 5 feet to the mile ;above this tG the end of the survey at Harrison Bridge.

OGEECHEE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
DESCRIPTION OF BASIN.
Ogeechee Riiver is formed by the junction of Williamsons Swamp Creek and Rr<cky Comfort Creek in Jefferson County, Ga., and <drains a small basin in southeastern Georgia lying between the Savannah and Altamaha basins. Ogeechee River runs in a southeasterly direction and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Its main

!02

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA

I
tributary is Cannoochee River, which rises in Emanuel County, Ga.,.

and flows southeast, joining the Ogeechee about 20 miles from the

Atlantic Ocean. The streams in this basin nm through a country

that is mostly low. The current is generally good, but the fall available for power is probably sn~all. The bank on one side or the other-

of the stream is generally low and swampy.

STREAM FLOW.
OGEECHEE RIVER NEAR MILLEN.
This station was established by F. A. Murray at Daniel's tolt bridge, r mile west of Millen, on June 20, 1903, but was discon~ tinned December 3 I, 1903, on account of poor conditions for accurate measurement of the flow.
The channel is straight for about 3oo feet above a;1d about soo feet below the bridge. The current is swift in the main channel and sluggish near the banks. The right bank is low and overflows. There is a trestle approach for about 300 feet over low, swampy land on this side of the river. The left bank is lower than the right bank, the swamp extending back from the river about one-foutth mile. The bed of the stream is sandy and shifting. There is but one channel at ordinary stages, but several channels at high water.
Discharge measurements were made from the upstream side of the wooden highway_ bridge to which the gage is attached. The
bridge is at an angle of about 45 to the c1.,1rrent. The initial point
for soundings is the end of the hand rail at the tollhouse on the left bank, upstream side of the bridge.
The gage is avertical rod reading from o to 12 feet. It is nailed to the upstream post of the third bent from the tollhouse. The gage
was read once daily during I903 by T. J. Lane, the toll keeper.
Bench mark No. I is the top of the upstream end of the cap of the first bent from the tollhouse; elevation, I2.00 feet above the zero of the gage. Bench mark No. 2 consists of a notch and nails in the corner of the tollhouse next the river; elevation, I8.oo feet abovethe zero of the gage.

WILLIAMSONS SWAMP CREEK AT DAVISBORO.
This station was established June I9, I903, by F. A. Murray, at the Davisboro Bridge, about 200 yards south of the Central of Georgia Railroad station, which is in the middle of the town. It was discontinued on December 3I, I 904.
The channel is straight for about 200 feet above and below the station. The right bank is low and overflows at a gage reading of 4 to 40 feet. The left bank will overflow at a gage height of 3 feet. The bed of the stream is sandy and is slightly shifting. There is but one channel at all stages. The current is somewhat obstructed by the bents which support the bridge at low water and by trees and brush on the banks at high water. Discharge measurements were made from the upstream side of the wooden highway bridge, which is supported by wooden bents abou:t I8 feet apart. The initial point for soundings is the outer edge of the postwhich supports the end o{the hand rail on the left bank upstream side of the bridge. The gage is a vertical rod IO feet long. It is nailed to the left side of the upstream post of the bent which supports the bridge at a point 302 feet from the initial point for soundings. It was read once each day by A. Baker, a hotel proprietor, who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey.
Bench mark No. I is the top of the bridge floor at the bent 302 feet from the initial point for soundings on the upstream side of the bridge. The point is marked with a cr<?SS and the letters "B. M." cut into the top of the bridge-floor plank; elevation, I I .oo feet above the zero of the gage, which is attached to the same bent. Bench

CANNOOCHEE RIVER NEAR GROVELAND
This station was established June I 2, I903, by F. A. Murray, at Moody's bridge, 3 miles south of Groveland, Bryan County.
The channel is straight for about 300 feet Cl.bove and 400 feet below the station. The current is swift in the main channel, but sluggish near the banks. Both banks are of clay and sand, and overflow at from I5 to I6 feet gage height. The bed of the stream is of silt,. and is shifting. There is but one channel at ail stages, broken by the piers of the bridge, up to the height at which the river overflows its banks.
Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the nine-span wooden highway bridge. The initial point for sound-
ings is the outer edge of the post which supports the end of the hancli rail on the downstream side of the bridge on the left bank.
The original gage, reading from o to I 7 feet, is nailed to the right:

From I 7 to 20 feet the post is g-raduated to feet and_ half feet A new g-ag-e, reading- from o to IO feet, is fastened to the left-bank side of the upstream post of the third bent from the left bank, this beingthe first bent in the water at ordinary stages. Another section of the gag-e, reading- from 5 to IO feet, is fastened to a gum tree on the left bank 2 5 feet above the bridg-e. This g-ag-e faces the bridg-e, and is used for the stages which it covers. The gag-e is read once each day by ]. M. Edwards. Bench marks were established as follows: (I) Th~ top of the bridge floor at the fourth bent from the left end of the bridg-e on the upstrearn side opposite a point 6I feet from the initial point for soundings, marked by a cross and the letters "B. M." cut in the floor; elevation, 20.00 feet (2) Two large wire nails driven into the tree to which the third section of the gag-e is fastened; elevation, 5.30 feet Two more nails are also driven at the .8-foot mark.

ALTAMAHA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

,-:"'"r:, :.

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN.
Altamaha River is formed by the junction of Oconee and Ocmtilgee rive1s, which unite at the southern boundary of Montgomery County, Ga. Ohoopee River is also a tributary, entering from
so the north .side about miles below the junction of the Oconee and
Ocmulgee. The Altamaha River drainage is entirely within the :State of Georgia. The river rises in the north-central part and . flows in a southeasterly direction, ymptying into the Atlantic Ocean hear Darien. Below the junction of the Oconee and Ocmulgee and !or a long distance above, on both rivers, there is no great amount bf fall. Steamboat navigation is carried on from Darien to Macon on the Ocmulgee, and to Dublin, and at times to Milledgeville, on the Oconee.
Ohoopee River rises in Washington County and flows in a southeasterly direction to the Altamaha. It flows from the low hills of southeastern Georgia into the flat pine lands. Though it has not so much fall as the more northern streams, it has considerable fall that can be developed into power.
Oconee River rises on the southern slope of the Chattahoochee Ridge, in Hill County, and joins the middle Oconee on the south. west boundary of Clarke County! From there it flows in a southeasterly direction to the Altamaha. Apalachee River is a large tributary which rises in Gwinnett and walton counties and enters the 'Oconee near the southeastetn corner of Morgan County. Little River enters the main stream at the corner of Putnam, Hancock, and Baldwin counties, about IS miles above Milledgeville, Ga. These tributaries have much fall, and a small part of it is developed. The Dconee has a fall of zso feet in 4S miles. It has some very large water powers available from its source clown to Milledgeville, where it crosses the fall line.
Ocmulgee River, the most westerly of the main tributaries, rises iin the north.,central part of Georgia on the southern slope of the On.attahoochee Ridge in Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett counties.. It is formed by the jt1nction of Yellow and South rivers just south of the southen1 corner of Newton County. Yellow River rises in Gwinnett County and flows in a southerly direction into the Ocmul,:gee. .South River .rises in Fulton and DeKalb counties and flows

in a southeasterly direction. Alcovy River joins the Ocmulgee about 5 miles below the junction of the South and Yellow rivers. Towaliga River enters the Ocmulgee at about the southwest cornar of Jasper County.
All these tributaries rise in and flow through a very hilly country and have a great deal of fall. Ocmulgee River has a fall of over
210 feet in 35 miles. The last fall of much size is only a few miles
above Macon, Ga.

SOUTH RIVER NEAR LITHONIA.

This station was established by F. A. Murray on August I7, I903,

a short distance above Albert Shoals, 6 miles south of Lithonia, and

was discontinued on December 3I, 1904.

The channel above the station is nearly straight for about 300

feet, and the current is sluggish, being held back.by rock ledges be-

low the station. Below the station the channel curves slightly and

the current is sluggish for about 400 feet, at which point the shoals

begin. The right bank is low and overflows at a gage height of 9
dr Ib feet into a second channel, which has a width at high water
ot about 200 feet. The left bank is high and rocky, and does not

overflow. The bottom is solid rock.

Discharge measurements were made from the 3-span wooden

highway bridge. The initial point for soimclings is the end of the

b_riclge on the right bank, upstream side.

.

The gage is a vertical IO-foot rod fastened to a tree on the right

bank just below the bridge. It was read once each clay by W. N.

New, who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey.

Bench mark No. I is the top of the upstream end of the first

wooden floor beam from the right bank; elevation, I 5.oo feet above

the zero of the gage. Bench mark No. 2 is the center of a wire nail

driven horizontally in the upstream side of the base of a willow tree

on the left bank about 40 feet upstream from the bridge; elevation,

4.00 feet above the zero of the gage.

SOUTH RIVER NEAR SNAPPING SHOALS.
'This station was established in 1905 for the purpose of making a :series of miscellaneous discharge measurements. It is located at a four-span wooden bridge, known as Butlers Bridge, about r 5 miles south from Conyers, and 4 miles above Snapping Shoals, where there is a large amount of fall.
The current is smooth and is fairly swift at lowest water. It is broken by one pier at low water. The right bank may overflow beyond the bridge approach at high floods. The left bank will not -Gverflow. The bed is sandy and will probably change.
Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the downstream end, at the edge of the floor, of the first wooden floor beam from the left end of the third span from the left :bank; elevation, 25.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

OCMULGEE RIVER NEAR FLOVILLA.

A statio'n was established Jitly 26, I90I, on Ocmulgee River at

Lamars Ferry, one-half mile below Lamar's mill and 5 miles east of

Flovilla. The object of this station was to compare the discharge of-the river at thi~ point-with its discharge below, at Macon, through

the low-water season. The gage and bench marks were washed

away by a flood Febqmry 27, I902. The station was reestablished

June I8, I903, at Lamars Ferry, by M. R. Hall.

The channel is straight fot I,ooo feet above and 5,000 feet below

the station. The current is swift and regular. The right bank is.

high, but overfl.qws at extreme high water. The left bank is some-

what lower. Tlie bed of' the stream is sandy and shifting, ariel theie

is but one channel.

;

. Discharge me~suremen:ts are madefrom the f~rryboat. The ini-

tial point for soi..mdings is the windlass on the right bank. .

. The vertical gage is in three sections: The first sectioi1, reading~

from o to 5 feet, is fastened to a willow tree at the mouth of a

small branch al:iout 20 feet above the ferry landing on the right

bank; the second section, 1;eading fr6rt1 5 to I 5feet, is nailed to an.

ash tree about 6o feet from the river up the same branch; the third

section, reading from I 5 to 2 5 feet, is attached to a cottonwood tree

on the bank of the same branch, about 200 feet from the river. No.

attempt was made to place this gage on the s;:tme datum as the old:

orie. The gage is read 01ice each day by B. S. White, who is paid

by the. Georgia Geological Survey. During the low-water period.

from October I to December 3I, I9b5, the gage was read twice each.

day. Bench marks were established as follows : (I) A nail driven.

OCMULGEE RIVER A'r MACON.
A station was established at Macon January 2I, I893, by the United States Weather Bureau. Discharge measurements were begun by the United States Geological Survey in I895, and a wTre gage was established on Jhe bridge of the Macon, Dublin and Sa~ vannah Railroad and was set on the same datum as the Weather Bureau gage. For a, time gage-height records were maintained by the Geological Survey, as the YV;eather Bureau records were for a part of the year only a_nd were discontinued alrogether fro..m..J11.~ 30, I897, to June I, I899. Since June I, 1899, the weather Bureau gage-height records have been taken continuously and have: been furnished to the Geological Survey.

The channel is straight and without obstructions, except for one bridge pier. The banks are high and not subject to overflow. The bed of the river is soft and changeable. The station was a fairly good one until the spring of 1902, when the bed of the stream below the station, which is of shifting sand, changed to such an extent as to make the current very sluggish at low stages.
Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the Fifth Street Bridge, an iron bridge of two 190-foot spans, loeated about sao feet above the railroad bridge. The initial point for soundings is the end of the iron hand rail of the footway at the right bank on the downstream side.
The Weather Bureau gage is a heavy timber bolted to the downstream portion of the right-bank stone pier of the Central of Georgia Railway bridge. October 9, 1905, a standard chain gage was installed on the Fifth Street Bridge, on the outside of the latticed railing of the downstream footway at a point 85 feet from the rightbank end; length of chain, 40.83 feet. Bench marks were established as follows : (I) The top of the iron rim of the sidewalk 8o feet from the initial point for soundings; elevation, 34-42 feet. ( 2) An aluminum tablet on the wall at the west side of the door of the United States Government building at the Mulberry street front. This bench mark is marked 334 feet and has an elevation of 64.37 feet above zero of the gage.

a Gage heights from October 3 to 5 are considered too low to represent the true mean. The minimum discharge for the month has been assumed to apply for those days.

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA

YELLOW RIVER NEAR S'I'ONE MOU:tf'I'AIN.

This station was established in 1905 for the purpose of making a series of miscellaneous measurements. It is located at the singlespan bridge known as Sextons Bridge, about 6 miles east from Stone
Mountain and 23/z miles above the old Annistown factory site,
where there is a large amount of fall. The section is good for measurements, but the bed is sandy and
shifting. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the downstream end of the floor beam at the middle of the span; elevation, 21.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

YELLOW RIVER A'I' ALMON.
A temporary station was maintained from September 12 to December 31, 1897, at a low bridge about 200 yards below the Georgia Railroad crossing. No records were kept during r898. On May 9, 1899, the station was reestablisl~ed at a wagon bridge about threefourths of a mile north of the town of Almon and the same distance up the river from the Georgia Railroad crossing. The station was. discontinued December 31, 1901.
The gage is fastened to the side of the upstream post of a bridge bent near the left bank. The bench mark is a railroad spike driven into a sycamore tree on the left bank of the river about roo feet above the bridge; elevation, 7.00 feet above the gage datum.

WATER POWERS OF GflORGIA
ALCOVY RIVER NEAR COVING'l'ON
This station was established on April 30, 1901, about 3 miles east of Covington, at a low wooden bridge which is often under water. JIt was .d1scontinued on December 3I, I 904.
The bamks are low and liable to overflow. The ground on the night bank is low and swampy for several hundred yards and is ;flooded by a .moderate rise. The bed of the stream is sandy and :shifting, amd :tlhe water is sluggish at low stages. Discharge measmremeuts :were made from the upstream side of a low, two-span, \Wooden bridge about roo feet long. The initial point for soundings ;is the end of the bridge floor on the left b-ank, upstream side. The

ALCOVY RIVER NEAR STEWART
This station was established September I6, I90S, by M. R. HalL It is located at a wooden wagon bridge known as "Waters Bridge,,. about IS miles south of Covington, Ga., and S miles from Stewart, below the mouth of Bear Creek and about 4 miles frorn the mouth of the river. The station is important because it is a short distance below a large amount of fall at the old Newton factory site.
The channel curves to the left bank about 4S 0 in 300 feet above the station, and is straight for I,ooo feet below the station. The right bank is high and will not overflow. The left bank may overflow about 200 feet at high floods. The channel above and below appears to contain much sand, which is shifting, though the bed is mostly rock in the part under the right span of the bridge, to which nearly all of the flow is confined at lowest stage of water.
Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of three spans of about so feet each.
A vertical staff gage is attached to a birch tree at the right edge of the water, I 2 feet upstream from the bridge. It is read once each
day by A. J. White. The bench mark is a cross and circles cut on a
solid rock outcrop at the right edge of the water, just under the

WATER POWIJRS OF GEORGIA

downstream side of the bridge; elevation, 2.36 feet above the datum {)f.the gage.

TOWALIGA RIVER NEAR JULIETTE..

The drainage basin of this stream occupies a small area ii1 centraf Georgia, its headwater tributary acljoini11g those of Flint River oru the west, and small creeks draining into the Ocmulgee on the east. The river is a tributary of Ocmulgee River, entering it 25 miles~ above Macon. The area drained is a rolling country and extensively cultivated. A gaging station was established by B. M. Hall
near its mouth, at the Southern Railway bridge, 2.Yz n1iles north of
J l.tliette on May 5, 1899, but observations of gage heights were not
started until November 2. The station was discontinued December
31, 1901. At low stages measuren1ents were made at the wagon bridge a
half mile above the railroad bridge. W. L. Jackson, a farmer living
a half mile from the bridge, was the observer. His address is Berner, Ga. The rod is nailed to the timber crib at the base of the left-bank pier of the iron single-span bridge. Bench mark No. I is at the top of the downstream iron girder under the cross-ties 40 feet from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 37.30 feet above gage datLUn. Bench mark No. 2 is at the top of the rail at the sar11e point;. elevation, 38.8o feet above gage datum.

MIDDI.E OCONEE RIVER NEAR ATHENS
Middle Oconee River rises in Hall County and flows southeastward through Jackson and Clarke counties to its junction with the East Fork, 6 miles below Athens. It drains a rolling area of 300 square miles.
Measurements wer.e begun at Athens on October I I, I90I, the station having been established by Prof. C. M. Strahan, of the University of Georgia. It is located on a wagon bridge, known as Mitchells Bridge, on the Athens and Lawrenceville road, 3y; miles from Ath-
ens and about 7y; miles above the junction of Middle Oconee with
its eastern fork. It is 4 miles above the dam of the Princeton factory, an 8-foot shoal intervening, and one-third of a mile below the dam of the Athens Electric Railway Company. The station was discontinued on October 25, I902.
The channel is straight and unobstructed except by remains of old piers just inside the present piers, the old piers being covered at a gage height of 3 feet. The banks are high and the approaches short. The water rises rapidly in time of flood, the maximum gage height being 22.9 feet and the average gage height 2.5 to 3 feet.
Discharge measurements were made from the bridge, which is of the covered wooden lattice type. The initial point for soundings is a spike at the west end of the north bridge truss. The gage is of wire, mounted on the north truss, near the east end of the bridge. It is protected by a plank cover and locked. The bench mark is the top of the lower chord at the gage pulley, 26.85 feet above the river bottom, which is the zero point of the gage, the latter being set to read zero when the weight touches the bottom. The graduations are laid off on the lower chord 20 feet and can be extended to 26 feet.

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA

OCONEE RIVER AT BARNETT SHOALS.

This station was established by Prof. C. M. Strahan, of the Uni-

versity of Georgia, on August 6, I90I, and was discontinued on Au-

gust 23, 1902, for want of an observer. It was located at Barnetts

Bridge, I mile above Barnett Shoals and 4 miles east of vVatkins-

ville. Discharge measurements were made from the downstream

side of the bridge, which is a covered lattice single-span bridge, with

a total length of -I09 feet between abutments. The ob~erver was

R. L. McRee, a storekeeper at Barnett Shoals, who read the gage

once daily at ordinary stages and twice daily during low stages,

-vvhen the regularity of the flow is affected by the small clam of the

Georgia factory, 6~ miles upstream. The gage is a Io-foot rod

nailed to a tree on the left bapk just above the bridge, and extended

to a length of r6 feet by means of a plank marked in fe~t fastened

above. The bench mark is a large nail driven into the tree; eleva-

tion, 6.oo feet above the datum of the gage.

WATER POWERS OF GEON.G.IA

OCONEE RIVER AT CAREY.

This station, which was established October 29, I896, is located

.nt an iron girder deck bridge on the Georgia Railroad at the station

of Carey, 6 miles west of Greensboro, and just below the junction of

.

::the Apalachee and Oconee rivers.

Both banks are low and liable to overflow under the trestles to the

enCl. of embankments. The bed of the stream is rocky and the cur-

:.rent good.

'The top of the iron girder 20 feet from the left-bank end of the

-bridge on the downstream side is 41. I 3 feet above the datum of the:

gage heights.



The rating was evidently affected by the dam several miles below,

and for this reason the station was abandoned March 3 r, I898'.

a The low gage heights from September 7 to 16, 18~7, inclusive, were caused not by a diminution of the flow of the stream, but by the drawing off of a dam several miles below.

a These estimates have been revised on the basis of the 1897 rating curve. b Discharge interpolated November 18 to 24, 1896. c The low-water height reported at Carey from September 7 to September 16, 187, was probably caused by the opening for repairs of a dam 2 or 3 miles below this poit1t. An inspe~tion of the con ditions at Macon and other. stations shows that this period did not include the lowest water of the year but that the minimum occurred during the first two weeks in October. LeaVing out of ac count this period of sudden apparent low water, the lowest gage reading at Carey was 1.10 on Oc tober 4. A measurement made ori. that day at 1.08 showed a diocharge of 381 secondfeet.

OCONEE RIVER AT FRALEYS FERRY, NEAR MILLEDGEVILLE.

This station is located at Fraleys Ferry, about 6 miles above Mil~

leclgeville, and about 4 miles below the mouth of Little River. This

point being above the clam at Milledgeville, the river has a nearly

natural flow, being but slightly affected by the clams a great dis-

tance upstream.

The channel is straight for some distance above and below the

station. The current is moderate or slow at low stages. The bed

is sandy and changing, but the rock shoals below will probably con-

trol the water level at the station.

Discharge measurements are made from the ferryboat or from a

small boat controlled by the ferry cable along which the distances

are marked. Measurements can be made at low and medium stages

only, as the current is too great for safety in boat measurements at

the higher stages.

During a short period in October and November, 1905, gageheight records were maintained by Charles F~ Howe, who put in a. temporary gage and has furnished the records to the Geological Sur-vey. These gage heights, which are the mean of four readings; daily, and the discharge measurements which were made, form a much more accurate basis for estimating the flow for the period which they cover than the records for the station at Milledgeville, 6, miles below. The bench mark is a nail driven horizontally into an' ash tree on the right bank about 200 feet above the ferry; elevation). IO.oo feet above the datum of the gage.

OCONEE RIVER AT MILLEGEVILLE.
This station was established August 22, I903, by M. R. Hall, though several discharge measurements were made before that time, the first being made October I9, I895, by C. C. Babb. The bench mark to which the present gage is referred was used for each of these early measurements. The station is located at the iron highway bridge in the eastern part of Milledgeville.
At low water the river is about 300 feet wide, including two piers, and often a sand bar of considerable extent in the third span. This bar sometimes practically stops the third-span channel, leaving the river about 200 feet yvide. The bed is sandy and shifting and the water is shallow and swift. These conditions are unfavorable to . accurate measurements as well as a constant rating. The channel is only slightly curved. Both banks are high and will .not overflow.
Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the bridge, the initial point for soundings being the end of the iron bridge at the right bank, downstream side. The bridge consists of four spans, roo feet, I so feet, I so .feet, and So feet long, respectively, beginning at the right-bank end, and short wooden trestles about 2S feet long at each end.
A standard chain gage, established in August, I904, is fastened to the intermediate posts on the upstream side of the third panel of the second span from the right bank. The gage is read once each day by ]. A. Brooks, who has been paid by the United States Weather Bureau since June 30, I903. The bottom of the gage box is 43.80 feet above the datum of the gage, and the length of the chain is 4S-8o feet. The bench mark is the top of the third floor beam from the pier on the east bank, downstream end ; elevation, 39.00 feet above the datum of the gage.

OCONEE RIVER AT DUBLIN.
A station was established by the United States Weather Bureau in I894 at Dublin, Ga., about 6o miles above the junction of the Oconee with the Ocmulgee. Recordswere kept, with the exception , of the summer months of I896, until April 30, 1897, when the station was discontinued. In 1898 discharge measurements were commenced by the United States Geological Survey, and February I I an observer was employed to read the gage. October 15, 1898, the

ALTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW

177

Weather Bureau again adopted the station and has maintained the gage and furnished gage heights to the Geological Survey continuously since that time.
The ordinary width of the river is about 235 feet. At a gage height of about 20 feet the left bank begins to overflow, and is practically covered to the end of the approach at 25 feet. This ground is thickly covered with a brushy growth, which will no doubt cause the velocity of the water overflowing it to be small. The right bank does not overflow. The bed of the stream is of loose rock, sand, and gravel. The channel is straight and the current is swift and fairly uniform, except where it is broken by the three bridge piers.
Discharge measurements are made from the iron highway bridge, which consists of a draw span between two other spans of 75 feet each. The total length of the bridge proper is 320 feet. On the left bank, which is low, there are I,IOO feet of iron-frame trestle approach. There is also a short trestle on the right bank, which is high. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank, on the upstream side.
The gage is a heavy timber bolted to the downstream side of the center pier of the Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad bridge, 500 feet downstream from the highway bridge.
The bridge is a drawbridge, and the pier to which the gage is at-
+ tached is the circular center pier of the dl-aw span. A secondary
sloping gage, reading from -r.6 to r.9 feet, is attached to a solid rock on the right bank about 25 feet above the railroad bridge. The gage is read once each clay by R. F. Mathis. Bench marks were established as follows : (I) The top of the upstream end of the floor beam on top of the first tubular pier of the wagon bridge from the right bank; elevation, 4r.3o feet. (2) A point on the fifth step from the bottom at the south entrance 'Of the court-house, 6 inches from the east end of the step; elevation, 82.5 I feet.

a Daily estimates of discharge above gage height 12 feet for the years 18~8 to 1902, inclusive, are from 5 to 25 per cent. too low, owing to insufficient data to properly determine the upper part of the original rating curve. The error gradually increases with the increase of stage .above 12 feet. The estimates for these years were not revi<ed because th~ number of days when the gage height was more than 12 feet was relativelr small and hence the monthly estimates are but slightly
affected.

NoTE.-Values for 1906 are probably excellent excep.t those for May which are fair, owing to ..erroneous gage heights.
APALACHEE RIVER NEAR BUCKHEAD.
This station was established February 13, 1901, by M. R. Hall. Jt is located at the iron wagon bridge over Apalachee River, about
.30 miles north of Buckhead.
At ordinary stages the chanael is about 8o feet wide, and is only .slightly curved above and below the bridge. The bed of the stream is part rock and part sand. The current is moderately swift and is somewhat broken and irregular .on account of the ruins of old pier
bases about 50 feet upstream. The right bank is low for a distance
--of 400 feet and will overflow at a gage height of 10 feet. The low -portion is thickly covered with trees and a brushy growth, which will greatly retard the flood water passing over it. The left bank is 'high and will not overflow, except to a short distance up the steep :slope.
Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of --the bridge, the initial point beiHg the outside of the iron pier at the left bank, downstream side. The bridge is a single span 103 feet ]ong, supported by tubular p'iers. Its trestle approaches are about _soo feet long on the right bank a11d about roo feet on the left.
The original gage consisted of two sections. The first section, reading from o to 10 ieet, was fastened to a small ash tree on the left bank about roo feet below the bridge, and the second, reading from 6 to 20 feet, was nailed to the upstream post of the last wooden bent next to the iron bridge, om the riglut bank. March 22, 1905, a :standard chain gage was attached to the t.1J_Jstream side ?f the bridge, in the third panel from the right bank; length of the chain, 30.70 feet. The gage is read once each day by .G. A. ]. Adams, except for ~three months during low water, whel'l readings are made twice each_

WATER POWER IN ALTAMAHA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
In the foregoing lists of water-surface elevations a complete state- ment of the fail and its distribution is given. The various points at' which the surface elevations are shown are located by continued dis- tances and reference to describable objects along the river. Records; of the discharge at several hydrographic stations have been given, from which estimates of flow can be made for any point. To these is added a brief statE(ment regarding the powers already developed,. and some of the proposed grouping of the various shoals into pro-posed power developments.

WATER POWERS ON SOUTH RIVER.

From the Southern Railway bridge crossing South River near

Constitution down to the head of Albert Shoals, a distance of 20'

miles, the fall is about roo feet. The stream is smaii, however, and..

only smaii amounts of power are obtainable. Flake's miii, about r3: miles from the beginning point, is the first power now utilized. At~

this place the dam is about 6 feet high and the working head, ob-

tained by the use of a short canal, is about r r feet.

At Flat Shoals, about 4 miles farther down the river, a new elec--

tric plant has been recently established. At Albert Shoals there is a-

fail of r6 feet in half a mile. This has been partly developed, but is

not now used.

.

At Peachstone Shoals, 36 miles from the initial point, the power

is developed by a low dam and a short canal, utilizing about ro feet:

head, and operating Zackry's grist and cotton mill.

At Snapping Shoals, 7 miles below, the faii is 20 feet in 300 yards.-

This is partly utilized and operates DeLoach's wood-working, flour--

ing, and gris~ miiis.

Three miles below is Island Shoals, where the faii is ro feet iw

250 yards and is partly developed at Haley's flour mill.

WATER POWERS ON OCMULGEE RIVER.
At the junction of Yeiiow and South rivers is the head of Barnes-; Shoals, where the faii is 9 feet in a sho:t:t distance. A development' here would have the additional water from Yeiiow River. Includ-

220

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA

ing the last-mentioned shoal, the fail is I4 feet from Yellow River down to Alcovy River.
Below Alcovy River down to the foot of Lloyds Shoals, I mile above Pittmans Ferry, the fall is 55 feet in a little less than 5 miles.
The continuous shoals that make up this fall of 55 feet are known locally as Dotsons, Barnetts, Barnes, and Capps and Lloyds. The most precipitous part of this slope is the lower half, which has a fall
of 43 feet in 2 Yz miles, and is known as Lloyds, or Capps and Lloyds,
Shoals. Surveys have been made for a 6o-foot development of this power, to back water to the foot of Barnes Shoals, near mouth of Yellow River, and to raise the water level 5 feet at the mouth of Alcovy River. This development can be made with a dam near foot of Lloyds Shoals, or as contemplated in the surveys mentioned, by a lower darn farther up, and a canal.
Smiths Shoals, extending from below Giles Ferry to Smith's mill,
has a fall of I 2 feet in I Yz miles. This is partly developed for
.Smith's mill by a low dam and a long, small canal. The .next power below is at Lamar's mill, a large merchant mill
-for grinding corn and wheat. The fall here is about 20 feet in I :mile. About I6 feet of the fall is partly developed by a wing dam and a short canal. If the dam were extended and raised 4 feet, the head would be 20 feet, without backing water on the next property :above. The last three powers mentioned-Lloyd's., Smith's, and Lamar's-are above the Flovilla hydrographic station, located at :Lamars Ferry.
The next power is at Juliette, where the fall is I 5 feet in one~half mile. This is developed by a dam and a short canal, and oper.:ates the Glover Cotton Mills and the Juliette Milling Company's plant. From the tail water below the Glover mill to the mouth of Beaverdam Creek, below Holton, a distance of about I8 miles, there <is a fall of about 6o feet. Macon capitalists have had surveys made Jar a proposed development of this fall, or a large portion of it.

W A'l'ER POWERS ON YELLOW RIVER.
Yellow River flows in a southeasterly direction, and joins South River, forming the Ocmulgee. It contains some valuable power :Sites, both developed and in a natural condition.
One-half mile above its mouth are the Indian Fishery Shoals,

221

where there is a fall of I2 feet in about 200 feet. The river is here about 300 feet wide. A gristmill and a cotton gin in operation use perhaps nine-tenths of the available power.
For 13 miles above, the river runs between high banks, alternating with low bottoms without any marked shoals (except at Lees, where
there is a fall of 2 Yz feet) to Langdons Shoals. The total fall in
this 13 miles is 23 feet. Langdons Shoals has a 4-foot fall. Three miles above, at Porte~dale, is the finest power site on the
river, where extensive developments have been made by the Bibb Manufacturing Company, ~hich has a large cotton and twine factory at this point. Here there is a fall of 67 feet in one-half mile, with a I2-foot dam at the upper end of the shoal. The banks at the
foot are very high, but gradually lower, until just above the dam large bottoms begin and continue for 5 rpiles. The water is backed up as far as the mouth of Hurricane Creek, 5 miles above.
The next power, McDaniels Shoals, has a 7-foot fall in a very short distance, and there is now a 6-foot dam operating a gristmill. At Milstead, Ga., 43/z miles above, there is a fall of 45 feet in onehalf mile. This power has recently been developed and is used to operate a large cotton mill.
Eleven miles above is Annistown Shoals, with a 25-foot fall below the II-foot dam, which formerly supplied storage for power used to operate a cotton mill. The banks here are all hard, unseamed rock, and the site could be developed into valuable property. Two and one-half miles above are some shoals with a I4-foot fall in half a mile. Above this point the river flows through a very rough country, having a fall of about 36 feet in 6 miles, but passing no important shoals until the next power is reached at Yellow River, Ga., the end of the survey. Here is a dam 73 feet high, which operates the Simon roller mills.

WATER POWER ON ALCOVY RIVER.
From the mouth of Alcovy River up to the foot of Whites Shoals,
a distance of 9 miles, the fall is 25 feet. Whites Shoals an<;i Newton
Factory Shoals form one continuous series, with a fall of 83 feet in I mile. Here the river is in a gorge 300 feet wide, with banks over roo feet high in several places. Near the middle of this shoal is an excellent site for a dam, from which a canal about one-half mile long

WA,TER ROWE!RS OF GEORGIA
.would be required. At.the t}pp.er .end of the shoals is another good .site for a dam, which would have a much greater storage basin, as .Just above the gorge wideps a gr.eat deal and a large volume of water :,could be stored throt1ghth.e 'dry season. This development would .requite a canal for the .entire length of the shoals. An old corn mill ;is in operation at this _poipt, usi~g a small wooden dam to divert the water into its flumes. . Many years ago a large cotton factory stood ,on this site, but was burned and never rebuilt.
Six miles above th,e~e shoals ar.e Henderson Shoals, with a fall of 2 feet. To obtain power for a gristmill, a 6-foot dam has been erect' ed, the backwater fro111 which extemds to Dabneys Bridge, 4 miles ,above.
WATER.POWER ON TOWALIGA RIVER.
Towaliga River flows in a southeasterly direction and empties ;into Ocmulgee River. From its mouth up to the foot of High Falls, ;a distance of 2 I miles, the fall is about Ioo feet. The stream is nar;row and swift, but has !10 marked shoals in this portion nor any favorable power sites. At High Shoals there is a fall of 95 feet in . a distance of I,ooo yard$, in the middle of which there is a sudden drop of 42 feet, known as High Falls. This is an excellent power ,site, for, although the low-water flow is small, there is a good basin ""above for storage. This power has been recently developed and an .. electric pl?:nt installed.
WATER POWERS ON OCONEE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES.
At Milledgeville a large mill for grinding wheat and corn is oper.:ated by water power, the development for which is a low dam across .-Oconee River and a canal along the west bank about one-half mile
~long.
At the foot of Furmans Shoals, about 4miles above Milledgeville, begins a very fine water poY\:er. The fall ,here is 41 feet up to the ~mouth of Little River, 7 miles above, .about.,3o feet of the fall being )n half the distance. Extensive surveys for the development of the 1~power have )Jeen made, a.nd more rec!=ntly .it is proposed to develop :,about so feet. of .:P.ea_d,. b.ackil}.g ..:water ~~hove the mouth of Little _River.
From the r;q.oqth,,9f;LittJe,E,iyerr,to :the ;foCDt of Laurens Shoals,

a distance of I9 miles, the fall is 56 feet, and is almost uniformly distributed.
At Laurens Shoals the fall is 3I feet in 3.% miles. Immediately above, at Rileys or Methodist Fishery Shoals, the fall is 30 feet in three-fourth mile, and continuing up the river, the fall is I5 feet in
the next I .0 miles, to top of Long Shoals.
The last three shoals have a total fall of 77 feet from the foot of Laurens Shoals to the head of Long Shoals, a distance of 6)-:4 miles.
At Park's mill, 3.% miles below the mouth of Apalachee River, the working head is ro feet, developed by a dam of that height. In the 22 miles above Park's mill to foot of Scull Shoals the fall is only 25 feet. At Scull Shoals .the fall is about 6 feet in several miles rength.
At Barnetts Shoals there is a fine water power, the fall being 5I
feet in a distance of 2 7:4 miles. About 3 miles above is the junction
G>f North Oconee and Middle Oconee rivers. On each of these streams there are several developed water powers in the vicinity of Athens.

APALACHICOLA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
DESCRIPTION OF BASIN.
The rivers flowing into the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico are for the most part similar in character to those in the Southem Atlantic drainage, though in their lower courses their flow is usually more sluggish.
Apalachicola River is formed by the union of Flint and Chattahoochee rivers at the Georgia-Florida line and flows in a southerly direction through Florida to the Gulf of Mexico. It is navigable, and boats run up Flint River to Albany and up the Chattahoochee River to Columbus.
Flint River rises a few miles south of Atlanta, in Fulton County, and flows in a southerly direction to Talbot County, southeasterly to Macon County, southerly to Worth County, and southwesterly to Apalachicola River. It drains the south-central portion of Georgia, extending from Atlanta south to the Florida line. Its tributaries are mainly large creeks with much fall. The principal ones among these are Whitewater, Redoak, Big Potato, Muckalee, Kinchafoonee, Ichawaynochaway, and Spring creeks.
Flint River has many good water powers on its .course. Between Woodbury and Knoxville, Crawford County, a distance of about 45 miles, the river falls 334 feet. Very little of its power is yet developed.
Chattahoochee River rises in the Blue Ridge, in White County, and flows in a southwesterly direction until it reaches the Alabama line at the southwest c~rner of Troup County. From there it flows in a southerly direction, forming the western boundary of Georgia, until it flows into Apalachicola River at the southern boundary of the State. It drains almost all of the north-central, middle-west, and southwest portions of Georgia, and has a drainage area of 4,900 square miles at Columbus, which is at the fall line.
Soque River joins the Chattahoochee on the western edge of Habersham County. This river rises in Habersham County and flows in a southwesterly direction. It has considerable fall, dropping as much as 40 feet within a few hundred feet.
Farther down the Chattahoochee, at the west boundary of Hall Cbunty, Chestatee River enters. It rises in Lumpkin County and

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW 225
flows in a southerly direction through a very hilly and steep country and has much fall all along its course.
From its source down to Columbus the Chattahoochee River is an excellent water-power stream. From the lower edge of Lumpkin County down to Columbus, Ga., there is a fall of over 850 feet, 366 feet of this fall being between West Point and Columbus. All along its course there are many small tributaries flowing from a high, hilly country. These have much fall, and many small water powers are available.

STREAM FLOW.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR CORNELIA.

This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located at Duncan Bridge, about 7 miles northwest of Cornelia, Ga., and I mile below the mouth of Soque River. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the inclosed wooden highway bridge, the meter being lowered through holes cut in the floor or by raising a plank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the left bank, downstream side. The channel is curved for about 500 feet above and straight for about 8oo feet below the station. The current is moderate. The right bank is clean, and overflows for about 200 feet. The left bank is high, rocky, wooded, and does not overflow. The bed of the stream is compos.ed of rock at the left and silt at the right bank, free from vegetation, and shifting. There is but one channel at all stages, broken by the piers of the bridge. A fish-trap dam about soo feet below the bridge will probably affect the rating at this station. The bench mark is the top of downstream stringer at a point 59 feet from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 2 r.oo feet above datum.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR GAINESVILLE.
'This station was established on June 26, 1901, 30 miles northwest of Gainesville, at Thompson's bridge and was discontinued December 31, 1903.
The channel is slightly curved for r,ooo feet above and below the ~statiom. The bed is of sand and is very changeable. The bridge ;from which discharge measurements were made is a three-span wooden structure supported on stone piers. At low water nearly :the whole of the river flows through the center span, which is roo )feet long. It is entirely housed in, but holes are cut in the floor :along the upstream side at intervals of 12 feet, through which the meter can be lowered for gaging. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge on the left-bank upstream side.
The gage as originally established was a I 5-foot vertical rod, on the right bank about 50 feet below the bridge. A standard chain gage is attached to a beam on the upstream side of the bridge about ll:6o feet from the initial point for soundings; length of the chain !from the end to marker, 34.68 feet. The observer was Jack Elrod. Bench mark No. I is the top of the downstream wooden stringer supporting the bridge floor, about 2 feet to the left of the first ::;tone pier on the left bank; elevation, 3r.oo feet above gage datum. Bench mark No. 2 is a copper plug set in solid rock on the hill about 50 feet from the river and I I 5 feet downstream from the bridge on :the right bank; elevation, 42.73 feet above gage datum.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR NORCROSS.
This station was established June ro, 1902, by M. R. Hall. It is located at Medlock's toll bridge, about 43/z miles north of Norcross. This point is above the mouth of Johns Creek and below the mouth of Suwanee Creek.
The channel is slightly curved for 6oo feet above and 700 feet below the station. The current is sluggish at low stages, but not excessively so, and the discharge measurements are considered goodi at the lowest stage. The right bank is high and will overflow only for so feet from the wate1's edge; the left bank will overflow forabout 8oo feet at a gage height of from r6 to r8 feet. The bed of the stream is sandy and probably changes.
Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the single-span bridge and its approaches. The initial point for soundings is so feet to the right of the center of the downstream tubular pier on the right bank.
The original gage was a vertical staff attached to an oak tree on the right bank roo feet above the bridge. A chain gage, established March 14, 1903, was read in connection with the vertical gage until June 28, I90S, when a standard chain gage was attached to the downstream lower chord of the first panel from the right bank; length of chain, 30.36 feet. The gage is read twice each day by W. 0. Medlock. The bench mark is the top of the iron pier on the: right bank, downstream side; elevation, 27.00 feet.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR VININGS.
This station was established in 1905 at a new iron highway bridge I mile east of Vinings and about ro miles northwest of Atlanta. It is about ro miles below the developed power at Bull Sluice.

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW 237

The current of the section is fairly good and r,egular. The bed is

probably somewhat shifting, but there is a stretch of swift water

immediately below, running among permanent rocks which will prob-

ably control the water level at the station. "The left bank is high and

will not overflow; the right bank is only about 20 feet above low

water for a width of 900 feet and will overflow during very high

floods.

Discharge measurements are made from a bridge of two I4o-foot

spans, with so feet of wooden approach at the left bank and roo feet

at the right bank.



No gage has been established. The effect of the water power

above being to cause a great amount of fluctuation in the flow, the

mean daily gage height can be obtained only by the use of an auto-

matic recording gage, and until this is installed the measurements

are made mainly as investigations relative to the accuracy of the

rating in case the original Chattahoochee River station, which was

located at Oakdale, 4 miles below, should be continued at this place.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is

the top of the upstream end of the second floor beam from the left

bank; elevation, 3I .oo feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER AT OAKDALE.
This station was established at Oakdale on October I7, I895, by Cyrus C. Babb. It is located at the Southern Railway bridge, I mile above the mouth of Proctor Creek, 2 miles below the mouth of Peachtree Creek, one-fourth mile west of Chattahoochee, I mile east of Oakdale, and 8 miles l)Orthwest of Atlanta. The flow is obstructed by rafts, which have to be cleared from the channel occasionally. The channel is straight and the current swift. The banks are subject to overflow. The bed of the stream is constant, and the results are fairly good exce.pt. at high stages, when., the water flows through the trestlework.

WATER FOWERS OF GEORGIA
Discharge measutements were made from the railway bridge, the =initial point for .soundings being the end of the iron bridge on the -right bank, upstream side.
On July I, !898, the location of the station was changed to Mason and Turners Ferry, I mile below Oakdale. The gage at this point, known as the "Oakdale lower gage," is nailed to a tree on the right bank, roo feet below the ferry, and set I foot lower than the gage .at the Southern Ra:ilway bridge. On June I, I899, the lower gage was discontinued and the upper gage resumed and adopted by the united States Weather Bureau, the United States Geological Survey .still receiving the records and making the current-meter discharge measurements at this point. The gage now used is in two sections, the first, reading from zero to 8 feet, fastened to a willow tree roo feet above the bridge on the left bank; the second, reading from 8 to 26 feet, fastened to an ash tree 30 feet above the bridge on the left bank. It is set on the same datum as the old wire gage of the United States Geological Survey established at that point by Mr.
Babb in I895, and above referred to; Its zero point is 7535 feet
:above sea level. The observer was J. B. Austin. Bench mark No. 2 is a large bridge spike in a sycamore tree about
_so feet above the bridge on the left bank; elevation, I r .oo feet above the zero of the gage. Bench mark No. 3, determined by measuring .down to the water, is the top of the iron girder, 40 feet from the -initial point for soundings, on the upstream side of the bridge; ele-
vation, 5755 feet above the zero of the gage.
The station was discontinued by the Weather Bureau on N ovember 30, 1904, but the single daily readings for several months before that time are not considered reliable as representing the flow of the river, on account of the oper;;ttion of a large water-power plant .above; Only the records fQr the fi,rst five months of that year are used.
The station w<J,s reestablished in I90.5 at a new iron highway bridge just below the old Mason and Turners Ferry, where the Oakdale "lower gage" was n1ail)tained ;;ts ;;t regular station during parts
..of the years r898 ai).d I899 It ,is r Yz miles below the Southern
Railway bridge where the Oakdale station was located. Discharge measureme.nts are made from the bridge of two I3o-
foot spans, with 309 feet of woode,n .;;tpproach at the right bank and
730 feet at th~ l~ft. At high ;tloQ<;ls 'both banks will overflow to the

extent of the bridge approaches, but can not get beyond at either end. The current is mostly swift and is irregular at places.
Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the downstream end of the second floor beam from the right bank; elevation, 35.00 feet above the datum of the assumed
~gage.

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW 249
CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER AT WEST POINT.
This station was establishedJuly 30, I896, by M. R. Hall, and the _gage is now maintained by .the United States Weather Bureau. It is located at the Montgomery street wagon bridge.
The channel is straight for about 2,ooo feet above and 3,000 feet below the station. The current has a fair velocity, except at low .stages. The right bank is high and overflows only at high water, when most of the town is covered. The left bank is somewhat 1ower and overflows for about 8oo feet at a gage height of 20 feet. 1'he bed of the stream is of sand and gravel and is unstable.
The bridge from which discharge measurements are made is in three spans, with short approaches from each end. The floor of the bridge is about 24 feet above low water. The initial point for soundings is the end of the hand rail on the right bank, downstream side of the bridge. A standard chain gage is fastened to the outside .of the iron railing of the downstream footway at a point I22 feet from the initial point for soundings; length of chain, 29.26 feet. Bench marks were established as follows: (I) The top of the downstream end of the second iron floor beam under the bridge floor from the right-bank end of the bridge; elevation, 24.I9 feet.. (2) The top of the thirty-eighth milepost on the Franklin and West Point survey of the United States Engineers. This post is a cast-iron cap 6 inches square, set in concrete, approximately on a level with the _ground, and marked "U. S. 38." A raised point in the center of the cap is the bench mark; elevation, I5.68 feet. The location of this post is on the right bank of the river, 340 feet upstream from the wagon bridge and 50 feet from the edge of the river and 6o feet :South of the Episcopal Church.

SOQUE RIVER NEAR DEMOREST.
This station was established July I6, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It 1s llocated ~t Cannon Bridge, on the road from Cornelia to Acorn, 2_% miles from Demorest and abottt 4 miles above the mouth of the lt'iver.
The channel is curved for sao feet above and slightly curved for .sao feet below the station. The current is swift. Both banks are high and wooded; the right overflows during extreme high water. The bed of the stream is composed largely of rock and is permanent. 'There is but one channel at all stages. Discharge measurements are made from the single-span wooden wagon bridge, which has a 28foot approach on the left bank and a go-foot approach on the right bank. The initial point for soundings is the. end of the bridge on the upstream side at the left bank.
The gage is in two sections : The first is a vertical staff, reading from o to IO feet, fastened to the sill and upstream post of the trestle bent at the left bank. An additional section, established September
I2, I905, is a vertical staff, reading fran; 0.7 foot to 6 feet, fastened
to the stump of an ironwood tree on the right bank about 20 feet above the bridge. The gage is read once each day by Charles Cannon. Bench marks were established as follows : ( I) The top of the upstream end of the right-bank wooden pier, marked with white paint; elevation, 21.20 feet. (2) A nail in the stump of the ironwood tree to which the second section of the gage is attached; elevation, 6.oo feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

SWEETWATER CREEK NEAR AUSTELL.a
This station was established May 6, I904, by M. R. Hall. It is. located at the south side of Lithia Springs Park, near Austell.
The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and 200 feet below the gage. The current is sluggish above the gage; below it is swift for about so feet at several places, with sluggish water between. Both banks are high and wooded, the right being composed of rock, and are not liable to overflow. There is but one c~1annel at all stages. Discharge measurements are made from a boat at low and ordinary stages about 400 yards below the gage. High-water measurements are made from Strickland's wagon bridge, I,% miles. down stream.
The gage is in two sections : .The first is an inclined staff, reading to 8 feet, fastened to solid rock on the right bank; the second is a: vertical staff, reading from 8 to I6 feet, fastened to a maple tree 011:' the right bank about Ioo feet upstream. The gage is read twice each
day by J. L. Causey. Bench marks are: (I) A nail in a small maple
on the right bank about 200 feet below the gage; elevation, s.oo feet. ( 2) A cross cut on a large rock about IO feet south of the sloping section of the gage; elevation, Io.oo feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.
a No monthly estimates have been attempted on account of the erratic plotting of the discharge measurements.

MULBERRY CREEK NEAR COLUMBUS.
This station was established June 23, 1904, by W. E. Hall. It is
1ocated at Mitchells Bridge, about 16 miles north of Columbus and 12 miles south of Hamilton. Mulberry Creek is a tributary of Chattahoochee River, entering it about 6 miles west of the station.
The channel is straight for about 50 feet above and 200 feet be 1ow the bridge. The current is rather sluggish above and swift below the station. Both banks are high and not liable to. overflow; the right is clean; the left is wooded and covered with brush. The bed of the stream is composed of rock and sand, with but one channel at all stages, broken by one wooden pier. The bottom is very uneven, causing the current to change direction during low water. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the two-span highway bridge, resting upon stone abutments and center wooden pile bent. The initial point for soundings is the left end o 11:he bridge on the downstream side.

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the downstream end of the wooden cap of center pile bent; elevation, 32.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

FLINT RIVER AT MOLINA.
In May, I897, a station was established on Flint River at the bridge of the Georgia Midland division of the Southern Railway, about half-way from Atlanta to Columbus. The alternate filling and washing out of the sand in an eddy about one-half hile below the station so affected the stream that the fluctuations shown by the gage had no fixed relation to the quantity of water flowing in the river. After this fact developed the station was abandoned and reestablished near Woodbury, at the Macon and Birmingham railroad bridge, about 3 miles lower clown the river.
The following discharge measurements were made at the Molina station before it was abandoned. They are accurate, and as they are nearly distributed over a period of one year-from May, I897, to May, I898-they give a fair idea of the flow of the stream during that time. Measurement No. 5 shows the lowest discharge and is undoubtedly very near the minimum of this stream for I897

E'LINT RIVER NEAR WOODBURY.
Measurements of the flow of Flint River were made during 1897 and r898 at Molina, but the river bed was so shifting that the station was discontinued June 2, 1898. Two measuren1ents were made in r899 at the Macon and Birmingham Railroad bridge near \i\Tood-
bury, 5 miles below the Molina station. March 29, 1900, a gage
was put in near this bridge and the station was reestablished. The channel above and below the station is slightly curved for
8oo feet. Above gage height ro feet the banks are subject to overflow for a width of 300 or 400 feet, but all water passes beneath the bridge and its approaches. The bridge and its piers are oblique to the direction of the current, and the bed is rough and irregular and mostly permanent.
Discharge measurements are made from the Macon and Birmingham Railroad bridge. This is" a two-span iron bridge, each span be-
so ing r feet long and supported by brick piers. The~e are wooden
trestle approaches about r so feet long on the right bank and 22S feet long on the left. The initial point for soundings is the end of the iron bridge on the right bank, downstream side.
The gage is in s-foot sections; the part reading from zero to IO feet is attached to a willow tree on the left bank about 300 feet above the bridge and so feet below Riggins's old ferry; the section reading from ro to IS feet is fastened to a sweetgum tree so feet from the left bank and r so feet upstrean1 from the bridge. This gage was maintained by the Georgia Geological Survey until November r, 1900, when it was adopted by the United States Weather Bureau. The observer is G. A. Wright, who is paid by the Weather B'ureau. Bench marks were established as follows : ( r) The top of the downstre3.m end of the second and third crossbeams from the left-bank end of the bridge; elevation, 27.00 feet; (2) a copper plug set in solid rock on the west side of the river about roo feet from the water and roo feet upstream from a point opposite the gage; elevation, r6.29 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage, which is 66o feet above sea level.

W XTER POWERS OF GEORGIA

FLINT RIVER NEAR MONTEZUMA.

This station is located at the iron highway bridge about r mile-

west of Montezuma. Some discharge measurements had already

;been made at this. point when the United States Weather Bureau

established a standard chain gage on the bridge, late in 1904. Dur-

'ing 1905 the daily gage heights were furnished by the vVeather

:Bureau.

The channel is slightly curved above and below the station, which

:is near the point of reverse between the curves. The current is

Jmoderate. The right bank, which is mostly covered with a dense

;growth of brush, will overflow for a great distance at about r 2 feet

:above low water; the left bank is not apt to overflow. The bed is

sandy and probably shiftii1g and the current is slow at low stage,

especially near the left bank.

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two roo-

foot spans, with a short trestle approach on the left bank and a very

long one across the marshy ground on the right bank. The initial

point for soundings is the end of the left-bank approach, down-

stream side.



The gage is located on the upstream side of the right span of the

bridge near the middle pier. The bench mark is the top of the up-

stream tubular pier at the middle of the bridge; elevation, 28.oo

feet above the datum of the gage.

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW 279
FLINT RIVER AT ALBANY.
This station was originally established by the United States Weather Bureau April IO, I893, and has been maintained from that date to the present. Discharge measurements by the Geological Survey were begun at this station in I90I, and the gage-height records furnished by the Weather Bureau have been used, except for a portion of the year I903. The present observer, D. W. Brosnan, is paid by the Weather Bureau.
The channel above the station is straight for about I,ooo feet and is rough. Below the station the channel is straight for 700 feet. The river overflows both banks, but only under the approaches to
the bridge. The- bed is constant, but rough, and the -current is ir-
regular. Discharge measurements are made from the Atlantic Coast Line
two-span railroad bridge, which is 325 feet long, with 475 feet of trestle approach on the right bank and 240 feet on the left bank. The initial point for soundings is the center of the tubular iron pier on the upstream side of the bridge on the left bank.
The gage was washed out and replaced in I898. It was again injured in 1902, and was replaced by a new gage June 17, 1902. The new gage was set 0.75 foot lower than the old gage as it existed prior to June 17, 1902. The gage heights were corrected from January ito June r7, r9o2, inclusive, tiYcorho:sponcl with thenew-gage: The Weather Bureau gage is attached to the Dougherty County Bridge, located about 700 feet below the Atlantic Coast Line bridge. It is in three sections. No. r is attached to the crib around the middle piers and extends to 4 feet above zero; No. 2 is spiked to a green cypress tree just above the bridge on the west bank of the river, and reads from 2 to 17 feet; No. 3 is spiked to a cedar post r6 feet high. This section begins at 17 feet and reads to 32 feet, which is 2~ feet above any high water known since r840.
A standard chain gage belonging to the United States Geological Survey was installed April 20, 1904. It is fastened to the hand railing of the downstream footway of the Dougherty County Bridge near the middle of the west span. The gage was accurately set to correspond with the bench marks previously established, and its readings agree with the standard portion of the Weather Bureau

gage. The bottom of the box is 4534 feet above the zero of the gage, and the length of the chain is 47-34 feet.
Bench marks w~re established as follows: ( r) A copper plug set in the downstream ~orner of the brick abutment on the right bank under the Dougherty County Bridge; elevation, 33.81 feet. (2) .The top of the first crossbeam from the right bank, upstream end of the railroad bridge; elevation, 43.20 feet.

BIG PO'l'A'l'O CREEK NEAR 'l'HOMAS'l'ON.
This station was established in 1904. It is located at the highway bridge about 5 miles southwest of Thomaston, 200 yards above Daniel's old gristmill.
The channel is curved for about 200 feet above and straight for 3oo feet below the station. -The current is fairly swift, except at very low stages. Both banks are subject to occasional overflow. The bed of the stream is composed of rock and gravel, free from vegetation, and probably constant. There is but one channel at all stages, broken during the higher water by the piers of the bridge. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the single-span iron bridge, which has trestle approaches of about roo feet at each end. The initial point for soundings is the left end ofthe bridge on the downstream side.
Gage heights are determined directly from the bench marks, which are as follows : ( r) The top of the downstream end of the first floor beam from the left bank; elevation, 23.00 feet. ( 2) A chisel mark on the intermediate post at the downstream end of the second-floor beam; elevation, 28.oo feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the assumed gage.

a There is a mill some distance above. this point, which affects the flow more than was at first thought, making the discharge measurements of little or no value.

MUCKALEE CREEK NEAR LEESBURG.
This station was established in 1905 in connection with the regular station on Kinchafoonee Creek. It is located about 3 miles east of Leesburg, at a. wooden highway bridge consisting of two truss spans, with trestle approaches of about 50 feet on each side.
The current is slow at low water. The right bank will overflow at moderately high water for a long distance. Gage heights are de.termined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of .the upstream end of the wooden cap of the middle bent .of the bridge; elevation, 17.00 feet above- the datum of the assumed gage.

MUCKALEE CREEK NEAR ALBANY.
This station was established March 9, 1903, as a temporary station, by F. A. Murray, and was discontinued December 31, 1903. It was located at a wagon bridge 3 miles north of Albany, and a short distance below the mouth of Kinchafoonee Creek.
The channel was straight for 300 feet above the station and for . 200 feet below, and the current was regular and of moderate velocity.
Both banks were high and did not overflow. The bed was 1~ocky

.and probably pennane~1t, the river flowing in one channel at all stages. Backwater from the :Flint River affected the discharge at :high stages. Discharge measurements were made from the single:span highway bric1ge and its aP.wroaches. During 1905 the station was deeply covered with water by a large water-power development just below.

KINCHAFOONEE CREEK NEAR LEESBURG.
This station was established August 30, r905, by F. A. Murray. It is located at the iron highway bridge I mile east of Leesburg, Ga.
The channel is nearly straight for about 400 feet above and below the station, and the current is mostly swift. The right bank is lower than the bridge and will probably overflow at times around the end of the bridge approach; the left bank will not overflow. The bed of the stream is sandy, and the current is good, except for a small amount of sluggish water at the left bank.
Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the single-span bridge. The initial point for soundings is the left end of the bridge.
A standard chain gage was installed May r2, r9o6, and set to read the same as the old vertical gage. It is attached to the downstream

lower chord. The bottom of the box is 24.09 feet above the zero of the gage, and the length of the chain is 26.09 feet. The gage is read by H. B..Johnson. The bench mark is a cross on a bowlder embedded in the earth opposite the left end of the bridge approach
and 25 feet upstream; elevation, 23.09 feet above gage datum.

K1NCHAF'OONEE CREEK NEAR ALBANY.
This station was established as a temporary station March _9,
1903, by F. A. Murray, and was discontinued December 31, 1903.
It was located at the wagon bridge.3 miles north of Albany, Ga., 200 feet below the Central of Georgia Railroad bridge and about onehalf mile above the mouth of the creek.
The channel is curved both above and below the station. Both banks are high and all water passes beneath the bridge and its approaches. The bed is probably somewhat shifting.
Discharge measurements were made from the single-span highway bridge and its approaches, which cross the ri~er at an angle to the direction of the current.
During 1905 the station was deeply covered with water by a large water-power development just below.

ICHAWAYNOCHAWAY CREEK AT MILFORD) GA.

This station is. located at the wagon bridge at Milford, Ga. When first established, on August 29, 1905, the bridge was an old wooden structure, which was shortly afterwards replaced by a new steel bridge, with one span of r ro feet, with short trestle approache& at both ends. The temporary vertical gage was also replaced by a. standard chain gage, attached to the downstream side of the new
bridge; length of chain, 23-46 feet. The observer is W. J. Kidd.
The current is moderately swift and is broken by.old bridge timbers still remaining in the channel. The station is about roo feet above the remains of an old wooden dam; which retains the water at a higher level than it would otherwise have. Gage heights for 1905 and 1906 are from the chain gage described above, but future records will be froma gage located below the dam.

MISCELLANEOUS DISCHARGE MEASUREMEN'rS IN APALACHICOI,A RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN
Beaverdam Cree!~.-This stream is a tributary of Soque River, ente1-ing from the right. A measurement was made May I3, I904, from the bridge about I mile from Clarkesville, on the road to Nacoochee, Ga. The berich mark is the top of the brace from hand rail to large birch on the upper side of the bridge at the right bank, r2.oo feet above the datum of the gage.
Width, 22 feet; area, r2 square feet; mean velocity, I.SO feet per second; gage height, 0.45 foot; discharge, r8 second-feet.

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW 297
iBig Po.tato Creek.-Before the section now adopted as a regular bench-mark station was found, two measurements of Big Potato Creek were made at the covered wagon bridge, 2~ miles from Thomaston, just below the Macon and Birmingham Railroad trestle. The bench mark is the top of the downstream lower stringer at :sounding point So. The elevation above gage zero is rs.oo feet.
January IS, r904: Width, 82 feet; area, r88 square feet; mean velocity, o.85 'foot per second; gage height, 3.30 feet; discharge, r6o second-feet.
March 3I, I904: Width, 72 feet; area, I75 square feet; mean velocity, 0.74 1oot per second; gage height, 3.25 feet; discharge, I30 second-feet.

RIVER SURVEYS IN APALACHICOLA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
CHA'r'l'AHOOCHEE RIVER.a
The ele\'ations along Chattahoochee River are based on the following surveys :
The portion from Columbus to West Point was surveyed in August, 1902, by W. E. Hall, levelman, under the direction of B. M. Hall, United States Geological Survey. The portion from West Point to Franklin was surveyed in 1899 by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army. The portion from Franklin to Oakdale was surveyed in 1903 by Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the direction of Fred A. Franck, United States Geological Survey. The elevations along this part of the stream are based on an aluminum tablet at the Washington street entrance to the State capitol building at Atlanta, marked "rosa M. C." The portion from Oakdale to the mouth of Chestatee River was surveyed in 1902 by Felder Furlow, levelman, under the direction of B. M. Hall, United States Geological Survey. The elevations between the mouth of Chestatee

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, RIVER SURVEYS 305
River and Nacoochee were determined in r903 by Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the direction of F. A. Franck, field assistant, United States Geological Survey. 'I'hese elevations are based on an aluminum tablet at Nacoochee, marked "I439 Atlanta," in the ledge of rock 200 feet west of ford of Chattahoochee River, the elevation of which is now accepted as r,348.259 feet above main sea level. 'I'he adjustment of this line was acoomplished in conjunction with leveling on the Chestatee and Soque rivers, tied at Willow and Qlarkesville, and by an extra check at Pole, to primary level .circuits, and accords with the r903 adjustment of the precise level net.
,In order to give a continuous profile of th.e river, the levels of these several surveys have been adjusted to accord with the elevations determined for the portion between Franklin and Oakdale. It is not expected, however, that the bench marks of one survey will exactly accord with those of another.

BASIN".
CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER.
In the foregoing lists of water-surface elevations several surveys have been put together, so as to give a continuous chain of elevations, and, for the main river, the distance of each point noted j-s given in miles above Columbus. Objects along the river are also 'ii'oted and serve.ioTO'cate and"n1ake it possible to identify each point ~t which the surface elevation is given.
The fall at any point or between any points can therefore be de-
termined, and the amount of water flowing at it can be estimated from the records of the hydrographic stations at West Point, Oakdale, Norcross, Buford, and Gainesville, and from miscellaneous measurements.
At Columbus is the fall line, and immediately above are located the largest falls on the river. Here a large amount of water power has been in use for many years.
The developed water powers are: (I) Eagle and Phcenix dam, operating the Eagle and Phcenix, and Muscogee inills; fall. 26 feet. (2) City Mills dam; fall9 feet. (3) Columbus Power Company's dam and tailrace; fall 40 feet. Theiast mentioned was completed in I902. The stone dam is located above the foot of the shoals, a considerable portion of the head being obtained by excavating for the tail-water. Water is backed three-fourths mile above the dam, and reaches the foot of a very fine shoal, the Chattahoochee Falls Company's property, where there is a fall of 40 feet in little more than I mile. The old Clapp facto~y was located on this property and the power was supplied by a wing dam, about half of the fall being used. The present owners of the property have secured water rights along the river above, which will enable them to develop a much higher head and will also give a larger storage. The fall from the upper line of the original property to foot of shoals on Ogletree's land is 2I feet in 7 miles. From this point up to the lower end of Hargetts Island, IO miles above, the fall is ISO feet.
Along this portion of the river the banks are high and rocky. The t;iver is mostly wide and full of islands, but at several places the

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER 3I9
banks come close together, affording excellent sites for high dams, in some cases not more than 6oo feet long.
In the 7 miles from Hargetts Island to the foot of Riverview dam the fall is 42 feet. At the Riverview mills and Langdale mills there are developed powers, each using IO or I2 feet of, fall.
Above the Langdale mills up to West Point the amount of fall is
small. Between West Point and Franklin the fall is 75 feet in 38
miles, averaging about 2 feet a mile. The fall is not uniformly distributed, however, and it is probable that some really good power developments could be made.
At Franklin, where there is an excellent site for a dam, extensive surveys have been made for one 32 feet high, which would back
water 8Yz miles, to the head of Fishtrap Shoals. This proposed de-
velopment includes Bushyhead Shoals and several others not so large.
From here to the foot of Mcintosh Shoals the fall is only I I feet in I I miles. At Mcintosh Shoals there is a fall of 8 feet in one-half mile .
Above this shoal up to the mouth of Peachtree Creek, above Atlanta, the fall is 66 feet in 47 miles. Three miles above is the clam site of a proposed development of 32 feet, for which complete surveys hav~ been made.
At Bull Sluice, 4 miles below Roswell, is the new electric power plant of the Atlanta Water Power and Electric Company. The dam is a massive concrete structure, 48 feet high, which with the 2-foot flashboards, gives a .head of 50 feet. This plant is fully equipped with the most modern type of water wheels and electric generators. The combined capacity of the water wheels is greatly in excess of the normal low-water flow of the river, thus providing for a large increase of power from stored water, and at times when the flow of the river is increased. The power is all transmitted electriCally to Atlanta. Backwater from this dam, when flashboards are used, reaches a point just under the wagon bridge at Roswell.
In the 26 miles above Roswell, reaching to Bowmans Island, near
Buford, there is a fall of about 57 feet, the drop being as much as
5 or 6 feet to the mile in a few places. At Bowmans Island is a proposed site for a so-foot dam to back water I4 miles up to mouth of Chestatee River.

WATER POWERS ON CHESTATEE RIVER.
From the mouth of the river up to the foot of the North Georgia Electric Company's dam, at Newbridge, a distance of I7~ miles, the fall is 83 feet. This includes three small dams and a number of undeveloped shoals, but no especially favorable sites for large powers.
The North Georgia Electric Company's dam is 27 feet high, and is made of log cribs filled with rock, and backs water about 37i miles. Above this dam there is a large amount of fall and many good power sites, some of which are developed and used to operate machinery connected with gold mining. Most of the undeveloped powers are owned or controlled by various mining companies.
WATER POWERS ON :FLINT RIVER.
The country rock in the Flint River basin over the range of the preceding elevations is vitrified sandstone or quartzite, forming fine bluffs and occasional-narrow gorges suitable for dam sites. It is easily quarried, and comes out in square blocks that are excellent for building dams.
The first shoals, known as the Dripping Rock Shoals, begin near the mouth of Cane Creek, about 3,000 feet below the bridge, and fall 23:7 feet in about 2 miles. In the next 2 miles, or to a point about I mile below the mouth of Pigeon Creek, the river falls only 6 feet.
ro.s Then shoals begin which have a practically uniform fall of feet
per mile for a distance of 8~ miles; or to Double Bridges (Gibson's old ferry), the total fall in that distance being 90 feet. From that point to the north boundary of the twenty-third land district the fall is 20 feet in a distance of 4,700 feet. In the next 3 miles, or to the head of the Yellow Jacket Shoals, there is a total fall of 22 feet.
The Yellow Jacket Shoals are the finest on the river. They are below Pigeon Creek and above Lazer Creek (sometimes called Eliza Creek), near Rowland, in Upson County, about midway between Talbotton and Thomaston, in the heart of the cotton belt of Georgia. They have a fall of 65 feet in a distance of 7,900 feet, or I~ miles, all of which can be utilized. In fact a much larger head would be available by building a 42-foot dam at the head of the Yellow Jacket Shoals and taking the water in a canal to a point opposite the foot

.322

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA

of the shoals. This would cover a fall of I07 feet, 7 feet of which would be sufficient for storage and canal grades, leaving a net working head of roo feet. A dam of this height would back the water .about 4 miles. There would be no trouble from flood water on the wheels, for the river is very precipitous below the foot of the Yellow Jacket Shoals, having an average fall of 6 feet to the mil~ in the next IO miles, the most precipitous part being a fall of about 25 feet between Hatchasofkee Creek and Elliotts Ferry, a distance of about 2 miles. Elliotts Ferry is between the mouths of Mountain Creek and Deep Gulch Creek.
Below Elliotts Ferry the river falls I3 feet in the next 2 miles, or to Walker's Ferry, and then assumes a practically uniform grade of I.7 feet to the mile for the next I I miles, or to a point 0ne-half mile below the mouth of Auchumkee Creek, in Crawford County, which is at the head of small shoals having a fall of IO feet in a distance of I mile. This is practically the point where the ri.;er crosses the fall line and enters the younger. geologic formations. The survey ended here.
Along the porfion of the river surveyed there are several large tributaries which have fine shoals. The most notable of these is Big Potato Creek, near Tliomaston, in Upson County, which has three shoals near its mouth, surveyed in I891 by C. C. Anderson, assistant State Geologist, and reported by him to be as follows : Rogers Shoals, 8I feet fall in a distance of 3,500 feet; Nelson Shoals, II5 feet fall in a distance of 2,,700 feet, and Daniels Shoals, I3 feet fall
in i distance of I so feet.
About IO miles above Woodbury there is a fine water power on Flint River, I mile from Neal, on the Southern Railway. It is known as the Flat Shoals and has a fall of 32 feet in a distance of 3,000 feet. There is a natural storage basin just above these shoals, where it is estimated that a 2-fo~t dam would store the low-water flow of the river for twelve hours, and that a 4-foot dam would store it for thirty-eight hours. This power is not included in the survey .described, but was surveyed separately by B. M. Hall. It can be developed by a canal 3,000 feet long, or by a dam at the foot of the shoals, where there is a narrow shut-in.

MOBILE DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW

323

MOBILE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN
DESCRIPTION OF' BASIN.
The drainage basin of the Mobile River is the largest in Georgia and Alabama, and is designated the Mobile basin because its waters all enter the Gulf through Mobile River at Mobile, Ala. At its headwaters, Cartecay and Ellijay rivers unite at Ellijay to form Coosawattee River, which, just above Resaca, unites with the Conasauga to form Oostanaula River. At Rome, Ga., the Oostanaula and the Etowah unite to form Coosa River. Six miles above Montgomery, Ala., the Coosa and the Tallapoosa unite to form Alabama River, and not far from the coast the Tornbigbee unites with the Alabama to form Mobile River, which flows into Mo~ile Bay, an arm of the Gulf of Mexico.
Cahaba River is the principal tributary of the Alabama and joins it about IO miles below Selma. Hillabee Creek flows into Tallapoosa River just above Sturdevant and near Alexander. Talladega Creek is a tributary of the Coosa.
Tombigbee River rises in the northeastern part of Mississippi a~d enters Alabama in Pickens County. Its principal tributary is the Black Warrior, which is formed by the junction of Mulberry Fork and Sipsey Fork. Locust Fork enters the Black Warrior some distance below the junction.
This paper discusses only the gaging stations in the Mobile drainage basin which a-re located in the State of Georgia. For stations located in Alabama and Mississippi the reader is referred to WaterSupply Paper No. IOJ, \iVater Powers of Alabama and Mississippi, and to the Reports of Progress of Stream Measurements, published by the United States Geological Survey.

STREAM FLOW.

ETOWAH RIVER NEAR BALLGROUND.
This station was established in I905. It is located at an iron highway bridge about 2_:% miles south of Ballground, and half a 1nile berow the mouth of Long Swamp Creek.
The channel is nearly straight for 300 feet above and 6oo feet belOw the station, and the current is moderately swift and fairly good

for measurement. The left bank is high and will not overflow, but
the right bank is low and cultivated for about soo feet and will over- flow at a gage height of about r6 feet above low water. The bed of the river is partly rock.
Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two iron spans. The left span is I ro feet long, and spans the entire river . except at floods. The other span, which is over low ground on the . right bank, is roo feet long, and there is also 90 feet of wooded trestle on the right bank. Gage heights are determined directly froin the bench mark, which is the top of the upstream end of the first . floor beam to the left of the middle pier; elevation, 28.oo feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

E;TOWAH RIVER AT CANTON.
This station was established in 1892 by the United States Weather Bureau, and it was only in r896 that measurements were begun by the United St?.tes Geological Survey. It is located at the wagon bridge in Canton, one-half mile above the mouth of Canton Creek and r,ooo feet upstream from the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railway station.
The channel is straight for r,ooo feet above a!ld 500 feet below the bridge. The current is affected by a fish-trap dam about :i: foot high, which has caused much trouble by being occasionally washed away and built up again. Up to gage height 3 feet the river is only u6 feet wide and fl<?WS between the piers on its low~r banks. Up to about 14 feet it is confined between its upper banks, which are the abutments at the outer ends of the approaches, but above r4 feet it begins to overflow the bottom lands. The bed is fairly constc_mt.
Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the iron highway bridge. The initial point for soundings is the. river side. of the ~ight-bank pi~l: at the. end of the main 'span. 1'lie. gage

:is a heavy vertical timber, fastened to the edge of the left-bank pier,
. on the upstream side. The gage is read once each day by J. M. Me-:
Afee, who is paid by the United States Weather Bureau for six months of the year and by the Georgia Geological Survey for the , other six months. Bench marks were established as follows : (I) A cut on a silver-maple tree on the east side of the road, 20 feet from the end of the bridge, on the south or left bank of the river; elevation, 20.36 feet. ( 2) The top of the iron bar on the top of the left.bank pier at the end of the center span of the bridge, upstream side; .elevation, 23.39 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

ETOWAH RIVER AT ROME.
Measurements were made at this station for several years in connection with the measurements _of Coosa River at Rome. Measurements were referred to a bench mark on the bridge, and the gage
put in July I, I903, by J. M. Giles was referred to the same bench
mark. This gage is "located at the Second Avenue Bridge in the -city of Rome, Ga., about I mile above the mouth of the river.
The channel is curved for I,ooo feet above and below the station. Both banks are high and overflow :only under the approaches to the bridge. The bed of the stream is of rock and is permanent, but the channd is obstructed by the crib -of an old pier foundation in the :middle of the river. Discharge measurements have been made from the sidewalk on the upstream side of the singJe-span iron bridge and its approaches. The initial point for soundings is the center of the post at the end of the iron hand rail on the right bank, upstream side. The gage is a ver.tical timber driven into the bed of the river .and spiked to a birch tr~e on the left bank about so feet below the bridge. The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the third crossbeam frQn1 the left bank end of the bridge; elevation,
.43.00 feet abov:ethe.~ex:o of th~ g9::_ge. The station was discontinued

ETOWAH RIVER NEAR ROME.
This station was established August I7, I904, by M. R. Hall. It is located at Freemans Ferry, about 5 miles above Rome.
The channel is straight for about 3,000 feet above and I,ooo feet below the station. The current is swift. Th~re is a small shoal of rock about 50 feet below the gaging section. About r,ooo feet below there is an old fish-trap dam, but this has not been used for years, and is probably constant. Both banks are high, but are subject to overflow during high water. The bed of the stream is composed of small rock and pebbles, and is uniform and permanent. There is but one channel at all stages, the water being about 2.5 feet deep at low water. Discharge measurements are made from a small boat, the meter being suspended from the ferry cable. Measurements can be made from the bridge at Rome, as no large quantity of water enters the river between the ferry and that place. The initial point for soundings is the center of the windlass for the ferry cable on the left bank of the river.
The original gage, reading from o to 7 feet, is attached to a sycamore tree at left edge of river, about 250 feet below the ferry. A second section, reading from 7 to 20 feet, is attached to a post ro .feet upstream from the first section and ro feet from the edge of the river at low water. A third section, reading from 20 to 30 feet, is attached to a maple tree opposite the post and 15 feet farther from the water's edge. The gage is read once each day by W. A. Gresham, who is paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. Bench marks were established as follows : (I) Head of lag screw driven into root of maple, to which gage 20 to 30 feet is attached; elevation, 19.26 feet. (2) Center mark on copper plug set horizontally in brick wall of F. B. Freeman's residence, on east end of house, near northeast corner, just below floor level; elevation, 27.99 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

AMICALOLA RIVER NEAR BALLGROUND.
This station was established in I905- It is located at Hollenshed's Bridge, one-fourth of a mile above Heard's mill, and about IS miles northeast of Ballground.
Discharge measurements are made from the two-span covered bridge, about I 50 feet in total length. The meter can be let down through the floor at the side of the bridge, but the current here is rough and not good for measurements. Some of the measurements were made about forty feet below the bridge. The stream is important, and a good section is difficult to find, but it is probable that a better place than this will be found.
Gage heights are determined directly from the bench marks, which :is a point on top of the downstream end of the wooden floor beam,
25 feet from the left-bank pier; elevation, I7.00 feet above the
IClatum of the assumed gage.

LONG SWAMP CREEK NEAR BALLGROUND.

This station was established in r905. It is located at a wooden wagon bridge about 2 miles southeast from Ballground; and half a mile above the mouth of the creek, which empties into Etowah River.
The current is swift at the station, also above and below it. The bed is sandy, and the water is shallow. Measurements are made from the downstream side of the wooden bridge of three spans. The middle span, which includes all of the creek at all but high
stages, is 50 feet long, and the two end spans are 35 feet each. Gage
heights are determined directly from the bench mark; which is a nail cfriveii" horizontally into the upstteam side of a large sycamore tree on the right bank about roo feet below the bridge; elevation, 8.oo feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

COOSA RIVER AT ROME.

Coosa River is formed at Rome by the junction of Etowah and

Oostanaula rivers. Bbth the tributary rivers rise in the northern

part of Georgia and flow fot the most part through a hilly, broken

country, well wooded, about one-fourth of the land being m':tder cul-

tivation. The channel of the Etowah is straight and the current

swift and unobstructed, but the Oostanaula is rather sluggish and:

somewhat obstructed by piers. The banks are high and are liable

to overflow at high stages.

The

gage

is in two

sections:

o to 5 feet, is fastened to the downstream left-hand corner of the
cofferdam around the center pier of the turn span; the second, 5 to
44 feet, is fastened to the downstream side of the same pier. The zero of the gage is 576 feet above sea level.
The measurements at Rome are made on the Oostanaula and the Etowah just above their junction. The Etowah is measured at the Second Avenue Bridge, and the Oostanaula at the Fifth Avenue Bridge in Rome, and the results are added to give the flow of the Coosa. The gage height is taken from the United States Weather Bureau gage at the Fifth Avenue Bridge on the Oostanaula. There is practically no fall on Oostanaula River from the Fifth Avenue Bridge to the junction; hence the gage is used as a Coosa River gage, and the gage heights are considered as gage heights of Coosa River. The Weather Bureau established this gage in r89o, but now maintains it only from November r to April 30; W. M. Towers, the observer, has, however, furnished the Geological Survey with monthly reports of the daily gage height for the entire year.
The station was discontinued December 31, 1903, on account of the uncertain velocity at low stages of the Oostanaula section.

MOBILE DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW

351

OOSTANAULA RIVER AT RESACA.
This station is located at the bridge of the Western and Atlantic Railway, in the town of Resaca, 8oo feet south of the depot. It is a United States Weather Bureau station at which the gage readings are maintained for half the year only. During the years r896 to r898, inclusive, the United States Geological Survey maintained the gage for the other half of the year, making the gage height record complete, but for other years only the half-year records of the Weather Bureau are available. No estimates of discharge were made from I90I until the beginning of I905, when the station was .reestablished.
The channel is slightly curved, the same curve extending about 300 feet above and below the bridge. The current is moderate, becoming rather sluggish at low water. The right bank is rock at the edge of the water., and has a solid stone abutment and railroad embankment above high-water level. The left bank is low, cultivated, and overflows during high water 480 feet to the end of the trestle. The bed of the stream is composed of rock near the right bank, but other parts appear to be sandy; to the left of the pier it is nearly filled up with logs and brush. There is one channel, broken by one pier at ordinary water.
Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the iron bridge, which consists of three spans of I20 feet each, and 480 feet of trestle approach at the left bank. The left span of the bridge is entirely outside of the river, except at high water. Measurements are also made from a boat at the ferry about 200 feet above the bridge, where the section is somewhat better. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank, downstream side..
Gage heights are observed from the United States Weather Bureau gage, which is a heavy timber attached vertically to the downstream side of the center pier of the bridge. Bench marks were established as follows : (I) The top of the downstream end of the second crossbeam from the right bank; elevation, 38.94 feet. ( 2) A cross mark on the top of the limestone bowlder on the north side of the river, about I 30 feet from the end of the railroad bridge and 40 feet w.est of the railroad track; elevation, 34.23 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

COOSAWATT.EE RIVER AT CARTERS.
This river, which is formed by the junction of Ellijay and Cartecay rivers at Ellijay, flows in a southwesterly direction, joining the Conasauga to form the Oostanaula. Its drainage area is for the most part mountainous and covered with forest growth. The gaging station was established August I5, I896, by M. R. Hall, at ti1e iron highway bridge at Carters, Murray County, Ga. Carters is at the head of navigation, small boats running to Rome, Ga., and the Coosa River below. It is at the foot of the great shoals made by this stream in cutting through the Cohutta Mountains. The channel is curved for I,ooo feet above and 500 feet below the station. The current is swift and broken. Both banks are high,, but overflow at flood stages. The bed of the stream is of gravel and is not liable to change. Discharge measurements are made from the singlespan highway bridge and its approaches. .The initial point for soundings is the land side of the pier on the right bank.
A standard chain gage is attached to the downstream side of the bridge in the third panel from the right bank; length of chain, 36.57 feet. The observer is R. P. Messer, who reads the gage once a day. Bench marks were established as follows : (I) The top of the cylindrical iron pier at the right bank, downstream side; elevation, 30.35 feet. ( 2) The top of a stone post set into the ground on the north side of the river, about 300 feet from the end of the iron bridge and! on the west side of the road leading toward Carter's mill; elevation, 22. I 5 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

CAR'l'ECAY RIVER NEAR CAR'l'ECAY.

This station was established June 27, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is located at the Ca~tecay Bridge on the public road 6 miles upstream from Ellijay and r.Yz miles northwest of Cai"tecay. Turkey Creek enters from the south side and Owltown Creek from the north side between this point and Ellijay. There is probably no considerable interference from dams above the station.
The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the station. The current is swift. Both banks are high, but are subject to overflow. The bed of the stream is composed of bowlders and is probably permanent, the water flowing in one channel.
Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the. single 6o-foot span wooden bridge. The bridge has an approach on the right bank of 24 feet and on the left bank of 26 feet. The initial point for soundings is the edge of the abutment on the right bank, downstream side.
The gage is a vertical ro-foot timber, fastened to the sill and downstream post of the trestle bent at the l'ight bank. It is read once each day by S. A. Burrell. The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the first floor beam from the right bank, marked by nails and white paint; elevation, r6.5o feet above the datum of the gage.

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the station. The right bank is abot.1t I2 feet high and the left abou:t .ro _ feet. Both banks are bordered by fields and are subject to overflow. There is one channel, broken by one wooden pier. The bed of the stream is composed of rock, and the current ranges from very swift . above the station to sluggish below.
Discharge meast1rements are made from the open wooden wagon bridge, which has two 40-foot spans and so-foot approaches on each bank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank on the downstream side.
A gage staff, reading from 2 to 6 feet, is nailed to the downstream vertical post at the right bank, and a bench mark established for reference. Regular gage readings are not maintained. The bench mark is a small nail and white paint mark in the downstream vertical post at the right bank; elevation, 7.00 feet above datum of the assumed gage.

MOBILE DRAINAGE BASIN, RIVER SURVEYS
SURVEY OF COOSAWATTEE RIVER

Joo 3"

From May 29 to July 12, 1900, a survey of a part of Coosawattee River was made., under the supervision of B. M. Hall,.. resident hydrographer, by Olin P. Hall, who was field assistant, levelman, and topographer. No camp outfit was carried. The: levelman read his distances with the stadia, and identified land lines and tributaries from a township or district map of the old' State survey. This map embraces two land districts, the eleventh and the twenty-fifth. The eleventh was found to be correct, but: the twenty-fifth was incorrect. The survey began at the Geological Survey Gaging station at Carters, with zero of the gages as a lever datum, and extended up the river to Ellijay, a distance of 24 miles. The total fall between the two places was found to be 581.6 feet. This 24 miles of river cuts through the Cohutta Mountains and enters the Paleozoic formation at Carter's mill, about 2 miles above the gaging station, which is the head of navigation on the river. It is along a continuous shoal, and the conditions are such that water power can be developed at any point desired. The onlyutilized power is at Carter's mill, where there is an 8-foot dam across the river.

\iVATER POWER IN MOBILE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN
ETOWAH RIVER
From Rome up to the Western and Atlantic railroad crossing,
near Cartersville, a distance of 45 miles, Etowah River is mostly
swift, but has no large shoals. The total fall is about I I 5 feet, which includes numerous small shoals. At a few places the fall is 5 or 6 feet in a mile or less, and at one place near Kingston the fall is 33 feet in 8Yz miles. One and one-fourth miles below .the railroad bridge, at the old Tumlin. mill site, is the large corn mill of the Etowah Milling Company, utilizing about 6 feet of fall.
Immediately below the railroad bridge is an old mill site from which the mill and the 5-foot dam are entirely gone. About 2 miles above the railroad bridge begins a very fine water power, which was once partly developed and, before the Civil War, operated the Cooper Iron W arks and a large flour mill. At present only the ruins of what is said to have been "a half-million dollar plant" are to be seen. This power has a fall of 90 feet in about 6 miles. Above this point there are numerous good small power sites, some of which are developed, but no great falls occur until the upper portion of the river is reached.
On Amicalola River, a large tributary of the Etowah, and on Etowah River above the mouth of the Amicalola, there are many excellent shoals having large amounts of fall.

!HIWASSEE DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW

HIWASSEE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN
DESCRIPTION OF BASIN
Hiwassee River rises in the northern part of Georgia and flows into Tennessee River about 30 miles above Chattanooga, Tenn. Its principal tributaries are the Toccoa (Ocoee) and the Nottely. The United States Geological Survey has maintained, among others in this basin, the following stations : On Toccoa River near Blue Ridge, Ga.; on the Ocoee River at McCays, Tenn.; on Nottely River at Ranger, N. C., and on Hiwassee River at Murphy, N. C. The stations in North Carolina and Tennessee, menrtioned above, are included here, as the data regarding the rivers in this basin will be valuable in estimating the flow of these streams at points above.
STREAM FLOW
HIWASSEE RIVER AT MURPHY, N. C.
This station was established July 26, I896, by E. W. Myers. It is located at the highway bridge in Murphy, N. C., about 8o feet above the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad bridge -a.nd one-half mile above the mouth of Valley River.
The channel is straight for about soo feet above and below the ostation. The right bank is high and rocky and will not overflow. The left bank will overflow for a short distance around the abutment. The bed of the stream is rocky and rough, and makes soundings uncertain. The bed is permanent and the flow is rapid. Discharge measurements a.re made from the sidewalk on the upstream side of the single-span highway bridge. The bridge is I95 feet long, supported by stone abutments. The initial point for .soundings is the end of the iron hand rail on the right bank, up~ stream side of the bridge.
A standard chain gage is fastened to the top of the downstream end of the first iron floor beam from the right bank in the space between the bridge floor and the lower chords; length of chain, 27.05 feet. It is read once each day by William Mingus. Bench marks were established as follows : ( I) The. downstream side of the

NO'I''I'ELY RIVER A'!' RANGER1 N. C.
This station was established February r6, 1901, by 0. P. Hall. ]t is located at the wooden wagon bridge one-half mile from the ,railroad station at Ranger, N. C., and one-fourth mile below the _Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad bridge.
The bridge is at a flat bend in the river, the channel curving ,slightly above and below the station for 6oo feet. The right bank :is high, rocky, and somewhat wooded and will overflow around
so 11:he end of the bridgefor about feet only. The left bank 'is low

and will overflow for a distance of 700 feet at a gage height of from IS to I8 feet. The bed of the stream is of gravel and sand and probably shifts considerably. The current is somewhat broken and irregular, mostly because of the piers. There is a moderate velocity and a depth of from 2 to 5 feet at low stages. Discharge measurements are made from the wagon bridge, a wooden struc. 1nre of 3 spans supported by 2 wooden piers and 2 stone abutments. The center span is 55 feet long, and the end spans are each 36 feet long. The floor of the bridge is about 20 feet above low water. The initial point for soundings is the inside face of the :-tone abutment on the right bank. .
The gage is a vertical board in two sections, each 8 feet long, fastened to the left .side of the first wooden pier from the right bank. The gage is read once each day by A. D. Kilpatrick. Bench marks were established as follows : (I) The heads of large wire nails driven into the top of the downstream end of the wooden cap on the left bent of the wooden pier nearest the right bank of the river; elevation, 20.05 feet. (2) A cut on a maple tree I8
inches in diiJ.rneter, 2 5 feet from the upstream side of the bridge
nn the right bank, 25 feet from the edge of the water; elevation, 15.00 feet.

TOCCOA RIVER NEAR BLUERIDGE.

This stream, called Toccoa River in Georgia and Ocoee River :in Tennessee, has its source on the northern slopes of the Blue ' ,Ridge Mountains in Georgia and flows northwest into Hiwassee River. The area is covered with a fine growth of oak, hickory, .and other hard woods. The station, established by B. M. Hall on .November 25, r8g8, is located at the Morganton Bridge, about .4 miles east of the town of Blueridge, Ga. The gage is a 14-foot -rod, in two 7-foot sections, nailed to a tree on the rigl1t bank just below the bridge. It is graduated to feet and tenths and is set to .,conform to bench marks .which were established October 15, r8g6, and October 26, r8g8. The measurements during r8g6 were made . 2-t the railroad bridge about 3 miles below, but are referred to the :present gage by comparison ofthe bench marks atthe.two bridges. The bench mark at the Morganton Bridge is on the top of the :.bridge floor, on. the downstream side, .50 feet from the .initia1 point,

and 1s r8.o feet above the zero of the gage. The bridge was a wooden, queen-post, open bridge, in three spans, with a total length between abutrnents of I 53 feet, but it has been remodeled and changed into a closed bridge, not suitable for use in making discharge measurements at such an irregular section. Measurements <re now made at McCays, Tenn., where a gage has been established.
The observer was W. E. Rogers, a farmer living about a quarter
of a mile east of the gage. The station was discontinued March 31, 1903.

WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA

OCOEE RIVER AT M 1 CAYS1 TltNN.
This station was established March 21, 1903, by 0. P. Hall. It is located at a suspension footbridge just below McCays Ferry, ai McCays, Tenn., near the Georgia-Tennessee boundary, and onehalf mile below the railroad bridge of the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad.
The channel is practically straight for about 8oo feet above and below the station. The right bank will overflow at about 14 feet gage height for about soo feet, and the left bank at a gage height 12 to 20 feet for about 400 feet. The water is confined to one channel and the bed is probably constant. The current is fairly swift and the section is good for measurement. Discharge measvrements are made from the suspension footbridge.
The gage is in two sections, the inclined section reading from -0.3 to 8.5 feet, set in a trench and held in place by posts driven into the ground. The vertical section, reading from 8 to IS feet, is attached to the bridge posts on the right bank. The gage is rread twice each day by Arch Ballew. Bench marks are established ;as follows : (I) The head of a large nail in the center of a post at the right-bank end of the footbridge on the downstream side;. elevation, I6.Io feet; this post is an anchor post for the cable of the suspension bridge and may be pulled out of place. ( 2) A copper plug set in a solid rock at the outer edge of the side ditch of the railroad bed, about 8oo feet west of the railroad station at McCays, I I feet north of the center of the track, and slightly higher than the railroad; elevation, 20.98 feet. Elevations refer to the .datum of the gage.

NoTE.-Values for 1906 are excellent

This station was established August 27, 1904, for the purpose -of making miscellaneous measurements. It is located about onehalf mile above the mouth of the creek, which flows into Ocoee River about one-half mile below the gaging station at McCays, Tenn. Fightingtown Creek is in Georgia, but its mouth is in Tenmessee.
Both banks are open cultivated lands, which will probably overflow. The bed is sandy:, and will probably change much. Dis,charge measurements are made by means of a boat or by wading. 'fhe bench mark is two small nails driven into the largest of a .cluster of small maple sprouts on the right bank; 40 feet above -:the mouth of a small branch; elevation, s.oo feet above datum of ~ ~assumed gage.
