FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Figure 14. Basin map of Perdido, Escambia, Blackwater, and Yellow rivers. started on Perdido River at Barrineau Park. The collection of river stages on the Escambia River near Gonzalez was started in 1951 and streamflow records on Pine Barren Creek near Barth were started in 1952. Streamflow data were also collected at two nearby sites, Yellow River near Holt (1934-1940) and Escambia Creek at Flomaton, Ala- bama (1939-1951). At the start of the present investigation in 1958, additional data- collection sites were established to define streamflow conditions and to determine in more detail the quantity and quality of the water supply in the area. A list of data-collection sites and the length of record at each site are given in figure 15. The map in figure 16 shows the location of these sites.
