Hoosier Pass Tunnel at Montgomery Reservoir near Alma ☆ My Water

This gage measures the Hoosier Pass Tunnel, water carried across the Continental Divide. It is taken from Blue River headwaters (Div 5) and delivered to Montgomery Reservoir, Middle Fork South Platte (Div 1) — so what this gage reads leaves one river basin for good and arrives in another.

The two ends: Con-Hoosier Lower Blue Lake (source, on Blue River); Con-Hoosier Mayflower Lake (source, on Spruce Creek); Con-Hoosier Spruce Lake (source, on Spruce Creek); Con-Hoosier Upper Blue Lake (source, on Blue River); Con-Hoosier Sys Blue River Ditch (source, on Blue River); Con-Hoosier Sys Crystal Ditch (source, on Spruce Creek); Con-Hoosier Sys Ditch Intercepted Flows (source, on Blue River); Con-Hoosier Sys Mccullough Ditch (source, on Mccullough Gulch Creek); Con-Hoosier - East Hoosier Ditch Claim 1 (source, on Hoosier Creek); Con-Hoosier - Ditch Claim 2 (source, on Blue River); Con-Hoosier Sys Spruce Ditch (source, on Spruce Creek); Con-Hoosier Sys East Hoosier Ditch (source, on Hoosier Creek); Con-Hoosier Tunnel (source, on Blue River); Montgomery Res (receiving, on Middle Fork South Platte)
