Caney Creek (San Jacinto River tributary)

Caney Creek is a waterway located in southeastern Texas, a tributary of the San Jacinto River. It traverses portions of Walker and San Jacinto Counties. The creek's course generally flows from north to south, eventually emptying into the East Fork of the San Jacinto River. Its watershed contributes to the broader San Jacinto River basin, which ultimately drains into Galveston Bay. The surrounding landscape is characterized by a mix of forested areas, pastureland, and some agricultural activity. Caney Creek, like other waterways in the region, is subject to variations in flow depending on rainfall patterns, and can be prone to flooding during periods of heavy precipitation. It serves as a drainage pathway for local runoff and contributes to the overall hydrology of the area. The creek's name, "Caney Creek," likely refers to the presence of cane vegetation along its banks.
