Bearhead Creek begins a mile southwest of Sivells Bend in north central Cooke County (at 33°51' N, 97°15' W) and flows southeast for 5½ miles to its mouth on Fish Creek (at 33°47' N, 97°12' W). It traverses a sparsely settled area of rural Cooke County where, according to a county historian, predatory animals once abounded, including an occasional bear. Bearhead Creek flows through gently undulating to hilly terrain with loamy, clayey, and sandy soils. Indigenous trees found along the creek are elm, oak, ash, pecan, cottonwood, and willow.
