The US Geological Survey has gaging stations at thousands of locations across the United States. Each dot on the map below represents one USGS stream gaging station in their real-time stream flow data system.

These stations collect information about the stream and transmit it to the USGS via a satellite communication system. The data is then processed and delivered to the public via the internet.

This station is in an old apartment building along the Coal River next to a walking bridge.
