stream network is shown on figure 15. JohnsonCreek is schematized as a one-branch network withthree tributary inflows. A discharge hydrographfrom observed data at <strong>the</strong> USGS stream-gaging stationon Johnson Creek at Sycamore (14211500) atRM 10.2 was used as <strong>the</strong> upstream boundary input.Subbasin hydrographs <strong>for</strong> Deerdorf Creek, Begger’sTick Marsh, <strong>and</strong> Crystal Springs drainage were simulatedby PRMS modeling <strong>and</strong> input to <strong>the</strong> WillametteWDM file. Crystal Springs inflow also wasestimated, merged with <strong>the</strong> Crystal Springs drainagehydrograph, <strong>and</strong> input to <strong>the</strong> WDM file.Figure 16 shows results of routing <strong>the</strong> inputflow 9.5 miles downstream, where it can be comparedto observed flow at <strong>the</strong> Johnson Creek at Milwaukiestream-gaging station (14211550). PRMSwas used to simulate 25.3 mi 2 (square miles) ofintervening drainage area (49 percent of <strong>the</strong> basin).The period of record used <strong>for</strong> calibration was 1989–90, because <strong>the</strong> lower Johnson Creek stream-gagingstation was not installed until 1989. Statistical results<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> calibration period (table 12) show an absoluteerror of 9.4 percent between simulated <strong>and</strong> observeddata, with virtually no bias.Clackamas RiverThe mapped <strong>and</strong> schematized Clackamas Riverstream network is shown on figure 17. The ClackamasRiver is schematized as a one-branch networkwith four tributary inflows.
