USGS Water-Year Summary 2023
11063680 Devil Canyon Creek near San Bernardino, CA
LOCATION - Lat 34°12'30", long 117°19'50" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, San Bernardino County, CA, Hydrologic Unit 18070203, in Muscupiabe Grant, on left bank, 0.6 mi downstream from confluence of East and West Forks, and 7.5 mi northwest of San Bernardino.
DRAINAGE AREA - 5.49 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY - WSP 1928: Drainage area.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - November 1911 to September 1912, October 1913 to September 1914, December 1919 to current year. Monthly figures only for January 1914, published in WSP 1315-B.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 2085.69 ft above NAVD of 1988. Prior to December 1919, nonrecording gage at site 0.5 mi downstream at different datum. December 1919 to July 1969, at site 0.4 mi downstream at different datum. July 1969 to September 1972, present gage used as supplementary gage. Oct. 1, 1973, to Feb. 25, 1974, supplementary gage at site 0.5 mi downstream at different datum.
REMARKS - No regulation upstream from station. City of San Bernardino diverts upstream from station at times, with diverted flows routed to recharge basins downstream from station. Natural flow affected by pumping along creek. Records given below are for creek only unless otherwise indicated. See schematic diagram of Santa Ana River Basin available from the California Water Science Center.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - (1913-14 and since 1919) Maximum discharge, 3,720 ft³/s, Jan. 25, 1969, gage height, 5.40 ft, site and datum then in use, on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow. The peak discharges on Dec. 25, 2003, Oct. 20, 27, 2004, and Jan. 9, 2005, were the result of debris flows, due to intense rain storms occurring where a wildfire had burned over 90 percent of the drainage basin in October 2003. The peak discharges for these events are unknown. Maximum gage height, 15.61 ft, Oct. 27, 2004, from floodmarks left by debris flow; no flow at times in some years.
