It makes drainage-area 7,000 sites in Wisconsin's 11 major river basins, data readily available in an easy to use format. including all named streams draining 5 or more square miles, and all unnamed streams draining 10 Drainage-basin divides were delineated on the or more square miles. Also determined are drainage latest available U.S. Geological Survey topographic areas for gaging stations, sewage-treatment plants, quadrangle maps and procedures recommended by dams, major highway crossings, and other sites the Subcommittee on Hydrology, Federal Inter- where discharge measurements or water-quality Agency River Basin Committee (written commun., data are available. 1951) were used to determine the drainage areas shown in this report. In some cases, the delineated Drainage areas were delineated on U.S. Geolog- basin divides were corrected to reflect manmade ical Survey topographic maps. Drainage areas are changes not shown on the maps, such as effects of shown in tabular form under six headings : station municipal storm-sewer systems and diversion of number; stream name, rank, and location; town- water for irrigation or agricultural purposes.

Geological Survey offices of those States at the most downstream station in the State; the drainage areas were then delineated to the mouths of the streams INTRODUCTION by the Wisconsin office of the U.S. Geological Survey . The purpose of this report is to present drain- age-area data for specified sites on Wisconsin Previous reports by Barry K. Holmstrom streams. The report lists drainage, areas at all sites (1972), Robert W. Devaul (1973), and Marvin D. on named streams of at least 5 mil and at all sites on Duerk (1974) are included in this report. We would unnamed streams of 10 mil or more. Also, areas like to acknowledge the contributions of Mark A. have been determined for sewage-treatment plants, Riggle and Bill Shaw (Wisconsin Department of dams, major highway crossings, gaging stations, Natural Resources), and of Mark J.
