FLINT CREEK (YOUNG COUNTY) FLINT CREEK (Young County). Flint
Creek rises two miles southeast of Loving in west central Young
County (at 33°14' N, 98°30' W) and runs southwest for twelve
miles to its mouth on Salt Creek, two miles northwest of Graham
(at 33°10' N, 98°35' W). The headwaters of Flint Creek are known
as Baylor Springs; they were a stop along an early stage route
from Fort Richardson to Fort Belknap. In its upper reaches the
stream is an intermittent draw that runs through private
ranchland and the Knox oilfield. After meeting with Turtle Hole
Creek, however, Flint Creek becomes the main source of Lake
Eddleman, a municipally owned reservoir that supplies water,
electrical power, and recreational facilities to the Graham
area. The creek runs through terrain of resistant ledges and low
cuestas, where shallow, stony soils support live oaks, juniper,
and grasses.
