A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Tees nearest the middle of Middleton-In-Teesdale's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist.
