Johnson Creek (Texas)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johnson Creek is a stream in the Trinity River watershed in North Texas (USA).
The creek rises near Interstate 20 in eastern Tarrant County and runs northeasterly for 21 km (13 mi) to the West Fork of the Trinity River in Grand Prairie, within Dallas County. The creek flows through the cities of Arlington and Grand Prairie and is generally completely bounded by development. In areas where development has not been substantial, native honeysuckle, trumpet creeper, mustang grape, American Elm, hackberry, oak, pecan, and cottonwood can be found growing along the banks.
The creek is likely named after Middleton Tate Johnson who settled in the area in the early 1840s.
