The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been collecting streamflow data in Massachusetts and Rhode Island for over 100 years. Since the first streamflow measurements were made in the late 19th century, the isolated sites where streamflow data were collected have evolved into a monitoring network of 112 streamflow-gaging stations.

Since 1960, over 1 million, 15-minute-interval stage recordings have been made at the Montague City station. Before 1960, stage was continuously recorded graphically.
