Gauge Location
The point marks the gauge locations whose published threshold text names Alma Avenue; it does not claim a coordinate for the street or landmark. All eleven polygons in Valley Water's published major-watershed layer are shown. The eleven published boundaries do not line up exactly with the five watershed groupings used here, and not every named creek has one.
Stream gauge
A place named here is not a flood prediction. It is what Valley Water records as at risk when a creek reaches that level. For an emergency, call 911.
