Drainage areas in New Jersey; Atlantic coastal basins, South Amboy to Cape May

Drainage areas of New Jersey streams in the coastal basin from South Amboy to Cape May are listed for more than 700 sites. Tables list the descriptive location of each site, the latitude and longitude, county, and National Topographic map name. For gaged sites established through 1982, the U.S. Geological Survey station name and site number are also shown. The data are presented alphabetically by stream name and in downstream order. Drainage areas were tabulated for named streams and unnamed streams with a drainage area greater than 5 square miles. The methods used to delineate the drainage divides, measure areas, and determine mouths of streams follow the guidelines developed by the U.S. Water Resources Council. (USGS)
