Stream in eastern West Virginia, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Creek is an 18.4-mile-long (29.6 km)[1] stream in eastern West Virginia, United States.[2] It is the third major West Virginia tributary to the North Branch Potomac River. Via the Potomac, it is part of the watershed of Chesapeake Bay.
New Creek rises on New Creek Mountain in northern Grant County and flows generally northeastwardly through western Mineral County, past the community of New Creek. It joins the North Branch of the Potomac at the city of Keyser.
The creek was named after Peter New, an area pioneer.[3]
