• <br />• <br />r~ <br />U <br />There are no guaging stations located on Raton Creek. In <br />fact, very little history is available on that or the adjoining <br />drainages. Between the years of 1942 and 1965 five indirect mea- <br />surements of peak flow were taken on Raton Creek by the United <br />States Department of the Interior, Geological Survey.l Three of <br />those measurements were made near Starkville in the area under <br />discussion in this application. The results are presented here. <br />Flood Drainage Unit <br />Date Location of Pleasurement Discha[ge Area Runof <br />4-23-42 Lat. 37° OB' S0", long 104° 32' 10", S,SBO 63 88.6 <br /> in NW ~ sec. 26, T. 33 S, R. 64 W, a cfs sq mi cfs/sq mi <br /> quarter of a mile upstream f rom mouth <br /> and 2 miles SW of Trinidad <br />5-19-55 Lat. 37° 06' S3", long 104° 31' 18", 9,400 60.5 155 <br /> <br /> in NW y sec. 1, T. 34 S, R. 64 W, just cfs sq mi cfs/sq mi <br /> upstream from bridge on U.S. Highway <br /> 85 and 87, in Starkville <br />6-17-65 Lat. 370 06' S3", long 104° 31' 18", 12,900 60.5 213.2 <br /> at U.S. Highways 85 and 87 c rossing cfs sq mi cfs/sq mi <br /> in Starkville <br />Stream Flow <br />Flow measurements were made on Raton Creek and Starkville <br />Gulch on May 17, 1982 by Fisher, Harden and Fisher.
