Cobb Creek (Oklahoma)

Cobb Creek, also known as Pond Creek,[1][2] is a watercourse in Washita and Caddo counties in Oklahoma.[3] It originates in Washita County just south of the Custer-Washita county line (E1070 Rd), being south of Weatherford, Oklahoma.[4][5] It flows generally south-southeast, feeding into the 157-acre Crowder Lake,[6] also known as the Cobb Creek Watershed Dam No. 1.[7] It continues below the lake, passing through Colony, Oklahoma, after which it turns more southeasterly and crosses into Caddo County.[8] It joins Fort Cobb Lake from the west.[9][10] Cobb Creek continues south-southeast below that lake,[11] and ends when it becomes a tributary of the Washita River just southeast of Fort Cobb, Oklahoma.[12]

The creek is a perennial stream maintained by discharge from the Rush Springs Aquifer.[13] Flooding frequently happened in the Cobb Creek watershed: from 1923 to 1942 there were 13 major floods and 67 smaller floods.[14] Twelve dams have since been constructed throughout the watershed to control this problem.[14]
