The Hydrograph Stream is a stream on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . South of the Chilean research station Base Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalvas (on the German map from 1984 Teniente Rodolfo Marsh station ) and the associated civilian settlement of Villa Las Estrellas, it flows through Long Lake in a west-east direction ("Long Lake" on the map) and flows then to the south-east to the northern end of the eponymous Hydrographers Cove ("Hydrographers Bay " on the map), a side bay of Maxwell Bay .

As part of two German expeditions to the Fildes Peninsula in 1981/82 and 1983/84 under the direction of Dietrich Barsch (Geographical Institute of the University of Heidelberg ) and Gerhard Stäblein (Geomorphological Laboratory of the Free University of Berlin ), the brook was together with numerous others until then unnamed geographic features of the Fildes peninsula and renamed the Scientific Committee on Antarctic research (Scientific Committee on Antarctic research, SCAR) reported.
