Mauses Creek
Mauses Creek is a tributary of Mahoning Creek in Montour County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 5.9 miles (9.5 km) long and flows through Liberty Township and Valley Township. Indian Creek is its only named tributary. The watershed of Mauses Creek has an area of 11.40 square miles (29.5 km2). The main rock formations in the watershed are the Bloomsburg and Mifflintown Formation, the Wills Creek Formation, the Hamilton Group, and the Trimmers Rock Formation. Soil series in the watershed include the Berks-Weikert-Bedington series and the Clymer-Buchannnon-Norwich series. Mauses Creek experiences siltation, organic enrichment, and low levels of dissolved oxygen. It is also contaminated by some organic compounds. The creek is crossed by six bridges. In his book Trout Unlimited's Guide to Pennsylvania Limestone Streams, A. Joseph Armstrong describes Mauses Creek as "very similar to the upper portions of Kase and Sechler runs". It is inhabited by trout and chubs, as well as several other fish species.
