Description

A USGS sampling site at this location lists drainage area of 39 square miles.

This is roughly half that of the Knife (at 84 sq.mi.), so flows here could be about half of that gauge. Or, putting it another way, this is very similar in size to the Lester, which has about 37 sq.mi. drainage (above its confluence with Amity).
