Spring Creek

The Spring Creek that feeds this lake originates north of the lake and just south of Oklahoma State Highway 33, at a point southwest of Crawford, Oklahoma in Roger Mills County.^[8] After flowing south and being impounded by the lake, the creek continues generally south in Roger Mills to become a tributary of the Washita River.^[9] This creek is not to be confused with at least five other creeks in Oklahoma with the “Spring Creek” name,^[10] nor with numerous other watercourses named Spring Creek in other states and countries.
