Text Appearing Before Image:
e stream lies on an easy curve. The banksare heavily wooded and high and are not liable to overflow. The bedis composed of cobblestones and sand, which at times of high waterscours out, leaving the rocks comparatively bare. The shifting of thesand renders the development of a good rating curve a difficult matter,and the method of applying a rating table indirectly has been largelyused. There are no natural obstructions in the stream and the currentis always swift. The range of gage heights seldom exceeds 2 feetexcept after a cloud-burst, when the very lowest bottom land hasbeen flooded for a few hours. The river seldom freezes completelyover, and during 1904 and 1905 records of gage heights were obtainedthroughout the winter. Discharge measurements are made from a single-span steel bridge. The gage is of the wire and weight type, and is located about 1,000feet upstream from the bridge on the left bank. The length of thewire is 9.90 feet. The gage is referred to bench marks as follows:

NIOBRARA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 223 (1) The head of a nail driven in the stump of a boxelder tree—one ofa clump of four—just east of Mr. Bormans house; elevation 17.26feet above the zero of the gage. (2) A 2- by 6-inch pine head block,on which the gate of Bormans fence rests when closed; elevation16.19 feet above the zero of the gage. As a check, the elevation of thewater surface at the time of making the measurements is referred tothe bottom of the upstream end of the second floor beam from the endof the bridge on the left bank.
