USGS site

For the first time since last fall, I got on it to check stream levels.
And saw that's it been changed a bit,

Used to just go to current PA stream conditions.
And they all came up, listed and sorted by the different water sheds.
Pretty easy to scroll down to the one I wanted, click and check

Now its just a map, with blue dots for each gauge station
No county designations.
And the dots dont show which gauge it is, until you click on it.
And I have to zoom in to guess if its what I want

Making it harder to use IMO
At least in my old mind

Unless there's something else I'm missing here?

Every time they update the site with so called improvements, it seems worse than the one before.

This thread....MUCH appreciated!!!
One of my LEAST favorite ways to spend my time is sitting on my *** to check the flows....rather than sittin on my *** drivin to the crick.

I DID notice the change.
But I am not very "tech savvy '....so I figured it must b my fault for accidentally clicking on one of the "display options"
AND ...NO WAY
I was gonna spend MORE TIME trying to figure it out, when I should b knee deep in a trout stream somewhere.

Thank u EVERYBODY.
Appreciate EVERYONE'S insight and shared wisdom here.👏🍻👏🍻👏🍻

I dont use the map. I just google USGS + creek name and pick the gauge that I am looking for. From there, just bookmark the page and you can come back as necessary.

We have a winner! That is the best way to do it in my opinion👍
