Caney Creek, one of two Polk County creeks by that name, rises four miles west of Bold Springs in the western part of the county (at 30°48' N, 95°02' W) and runs west for 2½ miles to its mouth on Lake Livingston, three miles east of Onalaska (at 30°47' N, 95°04' W). It crosses the East Texas timberlands-low rolling hills and prairies surfaced by clay and sandy loams that support pine and hardwood forests, some mesquite, and grasses.
