The Gauge Relationship
Every quotation below is Valley Water's own text, unedited. The captured reading and exact distance to the first threshold that names this place come before the map, so the resident answer is not hidden behind geography.
West Valley watershed · captured reading 0.51 ft · first named at threshold 3, 6.4 ft
At the captured reading, this creek is 5.89 feet below the level where Scott Boulevard is named.
If Saragota Creek has substantial flows as well, overbanking on the east bank is possible between US-101 and Scott Blvd.

Gauge Location
The point marks the gauge location whose published threshold text names Scott Boulevard; 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 polygons do not exactly match the portal's five sensor groups and do not provide a boundary for every named creek.
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.
