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.

Tallahatchie River
The Tallahatchie River spans for approximately 230 miles through northern Mississippi. It derives its name from the Choctaw word meaning "rock of waters." The river has a rich history dating back to the pre-Columbian era, with evidence of Native American settlements along its banks. The Tallahatchie is also known for its role in the Civil Rights Movement, as Emmett Till's body was found in the river in 1955. The river's hydrology is primarily influenced by rain events, and it has several reservoirs and dams, including Sardis Lake and Enid Lake. These reservoirs provide flood control, recreation opportunities, and water supply for agriculture. The Tallahatchie River is popular for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, and it supports a diverse range of aquatic wildlife.

Track the Tallahatchie River 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 Tallahatchie River
Where does the data for the Tallahatchie River 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.
