Description
USGS lake/reservoir monitoring location 08088500 (Possum Kingdom Lk nr Graford, TX). Coordinates are the USGS monitoring-location point. Current continuous values are lake/reservoir elevation only (lake/reservoir elevation NGVD29 (62614)); the app currently displays flow, gage height, and water temperature, so live in-app readings may be empty until elevation support is added. Surface area, depth, access, and species fields are left blank pending confirmation from authoritative state or federal recreation sources.
