Chaughtanoonda Creek is a small waterway located in the state of New York. It plays a part in the larger water system of the region. This creek eventually flows into the Mohawk River, which is a much bigger river in New York.

About Chaughtanoonda Creek

Chaughtanoonda Creek is a natural stream of water. It is smaller than a river. Creeks like this one are important because they carry water from land areas into larger bodies of water.

Where the Creek Flows

The creek's journey ends when it joins the Mohawk River. This meeting point is in a place called Hoffmans, which is part of Glenville, New York. The spot where the creek meets the river is about 238 feet (about 72.5 meters) above sea level.

The Creek's Water Area

The area of land that drains water into Chaughtanoonda Creek is called its drainage basin. For this creek, the drainage basin is quite small, covering about 1.15 square miles (about 2.98 square kilometers). This means all the rain and melted snow in this small area will eventually flow into the creek.
