Description

Beginning at an elevation of 7,483 feet (2,281 m)[2] southwest of Cascade in southwestern Valley County, it quickly flows north and then west into Gem County. From there, it flows generally south, passing through the communities of Ola and Sweet, before reaching its mouth at Black Canyon Reservoir,[4] at an elevation of 2,507 feet (764.1 m).[1]

Name Change

Due to the offensive nature of the word Squaw, the United States Board on Geographic Names approved changing the creek's name from Squaw Creek to Chief Eagle Eye Creek on September 8, 2022.[1]
