The monitoring network within this area

Hydrionis holds 182 values from 2 gauges within it. Discharge is a property of a gauge and its reach, not of this drainage area, so this page reports the network and its records rather than a single figure.

Flood peaks, as measured

This gauge's flood record, as measured. Unlike a daily mean it is the discharge at the moment the river was highest, which is the figure flood frequency analysis is built on.

Largest measured flow of each year at SUSAN R A SUSANVILLE CA

The highest instantaneous discharge the publisher recorded in each year — a flood peak as measured, not a daily average of one. 1901–1997.

Published by the gauge's own operator from its sub-daily record; Hydrionis stores the figure rather than recomputing it. A year the gauge did not cover produces no value rather than a low one, and the gaps are stated below the chart. A peak is a property of this gauge and its reach: a larger flood upstream or downstream of it is not in this series.

About this series

Everything below is a property of the data rather than a rating of it. There is deliberately no single confidence score: how much a gap matters depends on what you are about to do with the series, and only you know that.

Source	United States Geological Survey — National Water Information System · US Government work — public domain
How the values came to exist	Measured
Period held	1901–1997
Completeness	48.5% of the periods in that span are held. Gaps are drawn as breaks and never interpolated.
Known gaps	11 separate periods inside 1901–1997 hold no value. The longest runs from 1922 to 1949 — 28 years with no reading. They are drawn as breaks in the line and are never interpolated across.
Continuity	The record begins in 1901 and is not continuous from it: 97 years separate the first value from the last, and 48% of the years between them are held. The span is not the record.

Methodology	How this was produced

The snow standing above this water

1 automated snow station sits inside this drainage area, weighing the snowpack rather than measuring how deep it is.

543

Fullest snowpack recorded at Fredonyer Peak, in 2023 (mm of water)

121

Thinnest, in 2026 (mm of water)

March

Month the pack is usually at its fullest

May

Month the pack has gone by, in half of years

Peak snowpack at Fredonyer Peak

Water years 2017–2026. Each point is the fullest month of that snow season.

A water year runs October to September and is named for the year it ends, so the snow of one winter stays in one point. The value is the fullest month, not the fullest day: a pack that peaked sharply mid-month reads lower here than a single measurement taken at the right moment would.

How these gauges were attached to this water

Assigned by the publisher to a numbered basin Every gauge here is assigned to this drainage area by its own publisher, which issues the area an official code — 18080003. A drainage area is not a river: it contains the tributaries as well as the main channel, and a gauge in it may be on any of them.

What each gauge’s link to this water rests on

What this record holds

Hydrionis decides which waters get a page, and which of those are offered to search, from what is actually held rather than from how the page reads. Five signals are counted; this record has 2 of them, which makes it a profile, not indexed.

Years spanned	126	yes, 20 or more

Attribution and citation

Suggested citation for Hydrionis

Hydrionis (2026), Honey-Eagle Lakes gauge records, accessed 2026-10-05, hydrionis.com/waters/united-states-honey-eagle-lakes/

Cite Hydrionis where you rely on the compilation, the normalisation, the eligibility judgements or a chart. Where you use an unmodified published value, the publisher’s attribution is the one that is required; crediting Hydrionis as well is welcome and is not something Hydrionis can require of you.

Recommended, not required. Hydrionis does not claim rights over unmodified public data it relayed, and doing arithmetic on somebody else’s measurements does not make them Hydrionis’s. Cite the version and the access date: the Honey-Eagle Lakes gauge records changes as publishers release and as methods are revised, and a citation without both cannot be checked later. Full guidance is on cite and reuse.

None of the contributing licences requires attribution. Crediting the publishers is still good practice and they are listed above.

Where these figures come from

Source: USGS — National Water Information System, USGS site 10356500, annual peak streamflow. Licence: Open.

Method: The instantaneous maximum discharge of each water year as published by USGS, dated to the day it occurred. One value per October-to-September water year; where the publisher lists both a systematic and a historic peak for a year, the larger is the annual maximum. Values the publisher marks as maximum daily averages are not held here, because they are not instantaneous peaks. Values marked as bounded rather than measured are held as censored observations carrying the bound. Cubic feet per second are converted to cubic metres per second and the publisher unit is recorded alongside.

Rating curves are extrapolated at extreme discharges, so the largest values in a peak series carry the largest measurement uncertainty. Data from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System, a work of the United States government and therefore in the public domain.
