Pomme De Terre River flows and levels

Pomme De Terre River is gauged at 3 USGS streamgages in Missouri, each tracked by Rivermatics. The mainstem runs about 128 miles (206 km) from headwaters to outlet. It drains into the Mississippi River system. Drainage area at the gauges ranges from 276 square miles at Pomme de Terre River near Polk, MO up to 655 at Pomme de Terre River at Hermitage, MO. The gauged reach falls about 160 feet, from 912 feet down to 752. Rivermatics issues a daily machine-learned 14-day flow outlook for every one of them.

Gauges on this river, upstream to downstream

Ordered by drainage area, which is how far down the river each gauge sits. April and July figures are long-term median daily flows for that month from the USGS record — historical normals, not a forecast and not today's reading.

Common questions

When does the Pomme De Terre River run highest?
April, on the long-term record at Pomme de Terre River at Hermitage, MO — the furthest-downstream gauge Rivermatics tracks on this river. Median daily flow there is about 490.9 cfs that month, against 49.2 cfs in September, the lowest. Upstream gauges peak on their own schedule; the table on this page gives April and July for each.
How many gauges are on the Pomme De Terre River?
Rivermatics tracks 3 USGS streamgages on the Pomme De Terre River, across Missouri. Each has its own page with the site's full flow record and monthly normals. The river may carry other gauges that publish neither daily values nor discharge statistics; those are not tracked here.
Is there a flow forecast for the Pomme De Terre River?
Yes, at 3 of the 3 gauges. Rivermatics trains a machine-learned model — a temporal-fusion transformer — on each basin's observed flows, weather and snowpack, and issues a daily outlook reaching 14 days ahead: a median estimate inside a confidence band, not a single number to bet on. Every forecast is scored against days the model never trained on, and that track record is published on each gauge's live screen.
What river system is the Pomme De Terre River part of?
The Pomme De Terre River drains into the Mississippi River system — it is a tributary somewhere in that chain, following the flowpath down to its terminal river. Rivermatics builds this from the USGS/geoconnex reference-mainstem network rather than from names.
Can I use Pomme De Terre River data for flood or safety decisions?
No. Rivermatics provides estimates, not guarantees, and the readings and forecasts here may be delayed, inaccurate, or wrong. Do not use them for navigation or for any safety, rescue, or emergency decision. Check the National Weather Service and USGS directly, and use your own judgment.
