CROW WING RIVER NEAR MOUTH.

Location. A short distance above the mouth of the river, and below all tributaries.

Records available.-November 3, 1881, to November 2, 1882; June 26, 1884, to November 21, 1884; October 1, 1896, to August 31, 1897. These records have been compiled from unpublished data in the U. S. Engineer Office at St. Paul.

Drainage area. -3,580 square miles.

Gage. No data. This was of relatively little importance as discharge measurements were made almost daily, and the estimates based directly on these.

Winter flow. The river is frozen over during the winter months but measurements were made to determine the flow.

Cooperation. Station was maintained by the United States Engineer Corps.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Crow Wing River near mouth.

LONG PRAIRIE RIVER NEAR MOTLEY.

Location.-100 yards above the highway bridge, 1 mile south of Motley, in Sec. 19, T. 133 N., R. 31 W., and 2 miles above the mouth of the river.

Records available.-June 10, 1909, to November 30, 1912.

Drainage area.-973 square miles.

Gage.-Vertical staff; datum unchanged since established.
Channel. Permanent.

Discharge measurements.-During all stages except low, discharge measurements are made from the bridge, but low-water measurements are made by wading at a section a short distance upstream.

Winter flow. From November to March the river is frozen over at the gage and observations are discontinued.

Accuracy. Conditions at this station are favorable and therefore the records should be reliable. There are no dams on the river to affect its flow at the gaging station. Backwater caused by ice gorges in Crow Wing River may possibly affect gage heights for a few days in the spring.
