Bandeau Creek is a small stream, about 1.10 mi (1.77 km) long, located in Bladen County, North Carolina. It is a tributary (meaning a smaller stream that flows into a larger one) of the famous Cape Fear River.
Where Bandeau Creek Starts and Ends
Bandeau Creek begins in an area called the Hog Bay divide. This is about 0.25 miles southeast of a place called Lagoon, North Carolina. From there, the creek flows south. It eventually joins the Cape Fear River at a spot known as Jessups Landing.
About the Land Around Bandeau Creek
The area of land that Bandeau Creek and its smaller streams drain is called its watershed. The Bandeau Creek watershed covers about 1.52 square miles (3.9 km2). This means all the rain that falls in this area will eventually flow into Bandeau Creek.
This region gets a good amount of rain, about 50.0 inches each year. A significant part of the watershed, about 21%, is covered by forests. These forests help keep the water clean and provide homes for wildlife.
