Waterways. This watershed includes the section of Eagle Creek between the mouth of Lytles Fork (just over the Scott County line in Owen County) and the mouth of Tenmile Creek near Folsom in Grant County. Among the creeks that feed it are Caney Creek, Red Oak Creek, Dickey Fork, Paynes Run, Elk Creek, Three Forks Creek, Musselman Creek, Grassy Run, Straight Fork Creek, and Statlers Run. The watershed also receives the water from the Lytles Fork & Eagle Creek, Clarks Creek, and Brush Creek watersheds.

Land and water use. Land in the watershed is more than 50% agricultural and more than 40% rural and wooded; residential areas make up 3%. Six businesses and organizations hold permits for discharges into the creeks. See tables for details.

Agency data assessment. The fourteen assessed creek segments in this watershed include one that does not support its designated uses, based on biological and/or water-quality data. Seven others only partly support their uses. Siltation, nutrient and organic enrichment, and habitat modifications contribute to the impairment of these streams. See tables for details.

Watershed rankings. The ranking formula provides a preliminary ranking by synthesizing a broad spectrum of watershed characteristics, current conditions, and threats. This watershed ranks in the group with the lowest need for protection and/or restoration. This rating is for the watershed on average: particular sites and particular waters within the watershed may vary widely. See tables for details.
