Streamflow elevation profile
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by current streamflow (x-axis) vs elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-to-bottom traces the river from headwaters down to its mouth -- you can see flow accumulate as elevation drops.

Long Pine Creek
Long Pine Creek is a 28-mile long tributary of the Niobrara River in north-central Nebraska, USA. It is a popular spot for fly fishing, kayaking, and camping. The creek is fed by several springs, including the famous Sandhills Springs, and is home to a variety of fish species such as brown and rainbow trout. The creek has two main reservoirs, including the Keller Park Reservoir and the Long Pine Creek Dam, which were constructed in the 1940s as part of the larger Middle Loup Project. The reservoirs are used for irrigation and flood control, while the creek supports local agriculture through grazing and hay production. The Long Pine Creek has a rich history, dating back to the prehistoric times when it was inhabited by Native American tribes, and it was later used as a transportation route during the fur trade era.
Track the Long Pine Creek in the Snoflo app
Set per-gauge push alerts (e.g. "alert me when flow at the Russian R Nr Healdsburg crosses 5,000 cfs"), and Snoflo's iOS app pushes the moment USGS reports the crossing.
About the Long Pine Creek
Where does the data for the Long Pine Creek come from?
Streamflow and gauge stage data are sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System. The aggregate flow shown at the top of the page is computed by Snoflo as the sum of all monitored gauges along the river.
How is "percent of normal" calculated?
Today's aggregate streamflow is compared to the historical average aggregate streamflow on this calendar day across the river's full record. 100% means right on average; values above 100% indicate above-normal flow (wet year); values below indicate below-normal (dry year or drought).
Why are some gauges showing very different flows?
Gauges along a river measure flow at different points: headwater gauges read what's coming off the snowpack or mountain runoff; downstream gauges integrate everything upstream, including tributary inputs. Wide spreads usually mean a tributary is contributing significantly between gauges.
What's the elevation profile chart showing?
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by streamflow (x-axis) and elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-down traces the river from headwaters to mouth -- you can see flow build as elevation drops.
Can I get alerts when a specific gauge crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app on a per-gauge basis. Open any individual streamgauge from the table above and favorite it to set a discharge threshold.
