South Fork Eel River near Miranda: 2009 Water-Data Record

Tools

The 2009 USGS station report for South Fork Eel River near Miranda, including the historical maximum listed for the December 1964 flood.

Summary and historical context#

This annual water-data record identifies USGS station 11476500, South Fork Eel River near Miranda. Its historical-extremes section lists a maximum discharge of 199,000 cubic feet per second on 22 December 1964 and a gauge height of 46.0 feet. The report identifies floodmarks and an extended rating curve as part of the basis for those values.

The entry supplies a clearly identified historical reference for the river hub. It does not describe current conditions. Later revisions or analyses should be checked before using historical extremes for a technical comparison.

The current station display uses USGS’s modern data service and shows recent observations separately. Keeping the annual report and live feed as separate records prevents a historical maximum from appearing to be today’s measurement.
