baker run begins on stone mountain in noxen township. it flows south-southeast down the mountain for a few tenths of a mile before turning south and continuing to flow down the mountain. after a short distance, it enters a deep valley and receives windfall run, its only named tributary, from the right. the stream then turns southeast for a short distance before turning south for a short distance. it then heads in an east-northeasterly direction (although it makes several turns) for a few tenths of a mile before reaching its confluence with bowman creek.
