Twomile Creek is a small stream, about 3.72 mi (5.99 km) long. It flows into another stream called East Branch Oil Creek. You can find Twomile Creek in Crawford County, Pennsylvania. It's known as a "second order" stream, which means it's formed when two smaller streams (first order streams) join together.
Where Twomile Creek Flows
Twomile Creek starts in an area called the Britton Run divide. This is about 0.75 miles southwest of Britton Run, Pennsylvania. From there, the creek flows south.
It travels through a flat area known as the Erie Drift Plain. This plain was shaped by glaciers long ago. Finally, Twomile Creek joins the East Branch Oil Creek in a town called Centerville, Pennsylvania.
Understanding the Watershed
A watershed is like a big bowl that collects all the rain and snow that falls in an area. All this water then drains into a single stream or river.
- The Twomile Creek watershed covers about 3.58 square miles (9.3 km2) of land.
- This area gets about 45.4 inches of rain and snow each year.
- About half of the land in the watershed is covered by forests. These forests help keep the water clean.
