Latest observation
What this gauge represents: This gauge measures conditions on Maumee River at its USGS monitoring location in Allen County; conditions elsewhere on the waterway may differ.
How much water moves past the gauge each second. Higher numbers mean more water is moving downstream.
The water-surface height at this gauge. It is useful for tracking rises, falls and flood thresholds, but it is not the river's total depth.
How much the latest reading has risen or fallen compared with roughly 24 hours earlier.
The typical streamflow for this date based on USGS historical statistics. A multiple such as 3× means current flow is about three times the historical median.

Official action and flood thresholds where available. These levels are specific to each gauge location.
Gauge height and flood stage are station-specific. A 12-foot reading at one gauge should not be directly compared with 12 feet at another.
Connect this monitoring-location reading with verified places and official visitor information. A gauge describes conditions only at its location; it is not itself a public access point.
