Peachtree Creek

It then flows twice through the northern part of the campus of Emory University and its Wesley Woods section.

The southern edge of its basin borders the Eastern Continental Divide, including Peavine Creek (which ends next to WAGA-TV) and its tributary Lullwater Creek, which originates in the Lake Claire neighborhood of Atlanta and drains Fernbank Forest and the Druid Hills Golf Club north of Ponce de Leon Avenue.

It is located at 33°49′10″N 84°24′28″W / 33.81944°N 84.40778°W / 33.81944; -84.40778 (Peachtree Creek, USGS stream gauge AANG1 at Northside Drive), at 764 feet (233 m) above mean sea level.

There is also water quality monitoring equipment there, all transmitted to GOES weather satellites and back down to the USGS in real time.

Prior to this current system, daily flow and water quality sampling were done as far back as 1958 and 1959, respectively.

The 2009 Atlanta floods set new records for most streams in the area, and Peachtree Creek at Northside Drive came a close second place, reaching a height of 23.89 feet (7.28 m) on September 21, 2009, at 9:15 pm, and causing water to flow over the bridge.
