Discharge of Queen Creek at Willow's Ranch, Arizona. 



The basin of the Gila River adjoins Queen Creek to the south. Its 

 general character resembles Queen Creek. As the area of the Gila River 

 basin Is 17,834 square miles above The Buttes, a general storm passing 

 over it will produce a longer period of flood discharge, owing to the 

 length of time it will require the water precipitated near the head of 

 the basin to reach the point of measurement of The Buttes. A diagram 

 is given of this stream for the year 1896.
