Index of surface-water records to September 30, 1955, part 8, Western Gulf of Mexico basins

Abstract

EXPLANATIONThis index lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the Western Gulf of Mexico basins for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods prior to September 30, 1955. Periods of record for the same station published by other agencies are listed only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey. Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Parentheses around part of a station name indicate that the enclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the station or in a name under which records were published by some agency other than the Geological Survey.The drainage areas, in square miles, are the latest figures published or otherwise available at this time. Drainage areas that were obviously inconsistent with other drainage areas on the same stream have been omitted. Under 11 period of record 11 breaks of less than a 12-month period are not shown. A dash not followed immediately by a closing date shows that the station was continued in operation beyond September 30, 1955. The years given are calendar years. All periods of record not contained in water-supply papers on surface-water supply of the United States are. indicated by appropriate footnotes.
