The creek rises in the Musgrave Ranges and flows through the Aboriginal community of Kaltjiti in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. With the Ammaroodinna and Currie Creeks, the creek empties into the Warburton River.
Officer Creek is usually a dry sandy bed and only flows at times of very high rainfall.
