ELLIOTT CREEK (BOWIE COUNTY)
ELLIOTT CREEK
(Bowie County). Elliott Creek, which is
intermittent in its upper reaches, rises on the
property of the
Lone Star Army
Ammunition Plant two miles south of Hooks in
eastern Bowie County (at 33°27' N, 94°16' W).
The stream originally ran southeast for
seventeen miles to its mouth on the Sulphur
River, five miles east of the Arkansas state
line (at 33°18' N, 94°08' W). Wright Patman
Lake, constructed between 1948 and 1957,
subsumed a portion of Elliott Creek's middle
reaches, leaving the stream in two segments. One
segment runs south nine miles from the creek's
headwaters to its mouth on Wright Patman Lake.
This section runs for most of its course through
the ammunition plant property, where it has been
dammed to form Elliott Creek Reservoir. The
other segment of the creek runs southeast for
four miles from just east of Wright Patman Dam
to the original creek mouth on the Sulphur
River. The land along this part of the stream is
heavily wooded, with pines and various hardwoods
predominating.
