It is approximately 4.7 miles (7.6\u00a0km) long and flows through Brooklyn Township and Lathrop Township.[1] The watershed of the creek has an area of 3.32 square miles (8.6\u00a0km2). The creek is not designated as an impaired waterbody and is a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. The surficial geology in its vicinity consists of Wisconsinan Till, a lake, and some alluvium in the lower reaches.Dry Creek begins in an unnamed pond in Brooklyn Township. It flows south for several tenths of a mile and enters Jones Lake, where it receives two unnamed tributaries from the right. From the southern end of Jones Lake, the creek flows south-southeast for a few miles, receiving two unnamed tributaries from the left and two from the right and entering a valley. It then turns south and its valley narrows. After several tenths of a mile, the creek turns south-southwest for a few tenths of a mile, entering Lathrop Township. Shortly after entering Lathrop Township, the creek reaches its confluence with Martins Creek.[1]Dry Creek joins Martins Creek 7.73 miles (12.44\u00a0km) upstream of its mouth.[2]Table of ContentsHydrology[edit]Geography and geology[edit]Watershed and biology[edit]History[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Hydrology[edit]Dry Creek is not designated as an impaired waterbody.[3] The creek only seasonally flows into Martins Creek.[4]Geography and geology[edit]The elevation near the mouth of Dry Creek is 876 feet (267\u00a0m) above sea level.[5] The elevation of the creek’s source is between 1,540 and 1,560 feet (470 and 480\u00a0m) above sea level.[1]The surficial geology in the valley of Dry Creek consists mostly of a till known as Wisconsinan Till, although large patches of alluvium also occur. Additionally, there is a small patch of peat bog.[6] In the upper reaches, the surficial geology alongside the creek consists entirely of Wisconsinan Till, except for Jones Lake.[7]Watershed and biology[edit]The watershed of Dry Creek has an area of 3.32 square miles (8.6\u00a0km2).[2] The mouth of the creek is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Hop Bottom. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Montrose East.[5] The mouth of the creek is located within 1 mile (1.6\u00a0km) of Hop Bottom.[2]The designated use for Dry Creek is aquatic life.[3] Williams Field Services Company, LLC has received an Erosion and Sediment Control permit for which the receiving streams are the creek and its unnamed tributaries.[8]Dry Creek is classified as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.[8]History[edit]Dry Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1173498.[5]See also[edit]References[edit]^ a b c United States Geological Survey, The National Map Viewer, archived from the original on March 29, 2012, retrieved November 29, 2015^ a b c Pennsylvania Gazetteer of Streams (PDF), November 2, 2001, p.\u00a057, retrieved November 29, 2015^ a b United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2006 Waterbody Report for Dry Creek, retrieved November 29, 2015[permanent dead link]^ Emily C.
