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]
Tributaries include:
