[Latitude and longitude are reported in degrees, minutes, and seconds; PR, partial-record gaging station; CR, continuous-record gaging station; mi2, square mile; ft3/s, cubic foot per second; in/yr, inch per year; Q50, Q90, and Q95, indicate the 50-, 90-, and 95-percent discharge on the streamflow-duration curve, respectively; 7Q2 and 7Q10, indicate the annual minimum average 7-consecutive-day low-flow discharge having 2-year and 10-year recurrence intervals, respectively; nd indicates value was not determined]
