The source of Army Creek is near the eastern edge of Bear, Delaware in the south and New Castle County Airport in the north. The water then flows ENE to the Delaware River about 1 mile (1.6 km) SW of New Castle, Delaware, at Dobbinsville. Most of the watershed is urban/residential.

The watershed is the scene of two Superfund sites owing to the urban/industrial history.[3]
