Distances are straight-line miles from the city's point in the U.S. Census Bureau Gazetteer to the USGS gauge coordinates. They are not driving distances, and a gauge can be on a river reach that is far from the road or access you would use. Showing up to 12 gauges within 75 miles, nearest first.

Percentiles compare today's flow with that gauge's own history for the date. How to read a status.
