WALNUT CREEK (WISE COUNTY)
WALNUT CREEK (Wise County). Walnut Creek rises two miles south of Decatur in central Wise County (at 33°13' N, 97°34' W) and flows south for 9½ miles to its mouth on the West Fork of the Trinity River, just north of Boyd (at 33°06' N, 97°34' W). The surrounding terrain is flat to rolling and surfaced mostly by deep, fine sandy loams that support hardwood and conifers. For most of the county's history the Walnut Creek area has been used as range and crop land.
