Panther Creek is a west draining left bank tributary of the Little Schuylkill River's drainage basin and rises in the vicinity of the east-side of Lansford in the plateau-like nearly flat terrain of the complex three-way saddle between Mount Pisgah to its east, Nesquehoning Ridge to the north and Pisgah Ridge to the south, both ridgelines flanking it's entire course as it makes its way ENE-to-WSW.
