Gauge Correlation Tables

Having some historical context for lake and river levels based on eye-witness reports makes real-time USGS levels easier to interpret. Given that conditions on lakes and rivers inevitably change over time, use the information reported below at your own risk. The USGS data, unless otherwise noted, is PROVISIONAL.
