Nibi Metrics
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada and the US. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics turns raw gauge readings from official hydrometric networks into something a person standing on a dock can actually use: is the water high or low for today, which way is it moving, and how unusual is this? This page explains where every number on the platform comes from and what we do to it along the way.

About Maggie Creek at Maggie CR Cyn near Carlin
Maggie Creek - a vital tributary of the Upper Humboldt watershed.
Maggie Creek flows gently through its canyon, contributing significantly to the Upper Humboldt watershed in Nevada. This river, marked by its seasonally dynamic flow, is an integral part of the local hydrology, where mountain snowmelt and summer thunderstorms dictate the water levels. The creek, along with its peers, plays a critical role in supporting the regional ecology and water needs.
The watershed context
Maggie Creek is situated in the Upper Humboldt watershed, draining roughly 334 square miles. This region typically experiences spring peaks driven by snowmelt from the nearby mountains, while the summer months can bring intense thunderstorms that may lead to flash floods in local areas. Such seasonal variations are crucial for the organisms and ecosystems within the creek's vicinity, influencing their life cycles and habitat conditions.
Maggie Creek’s nearby companions, including Hanks Creek and various segments of the Humboldt River, also contribute to the hydrological tapestry of the area. These waterways not only sustain local wildlife, but they also support agricultural endeavors and drinking water needs for communities downstream.
Why the data matters here
The USGS station measuring Maggie Creek provides vital discharge data that reflects the river's health and flow characteristics. This information can be vital for local farmers, anglers, and residents who rely on accurate water levels for their activities and livelihoods. Monitoring today’s readings in relation to historical data also helps gauge the creek's behavior, especially since this station has been operational for over 37 years.
Today's water level at Maggie Creek is compared against the median for this calendar day. This contextual measurement is essential, as it provides a more meaningful understanding of current conditions than raw elevation alone. The Water Survey of Canada uses these comparisons to inform users about the river's ongoing state, ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of potential changes that could impact water availability and safety.
How this page is built
Readings come from official government gauges and are rolled into daily records: the daily mean, high and low for every day on record. Each calendar day gets its own baseline from the full history, so the level you see is compared against what this specific date usually looks like rather than an annual average.
