Town Creek rises in northwestern White County, just south of where State Route 348 turns north into Union County, at the north end of Tesnatee Gap in Raven Cliffs Wilderness.[2] The creek heads south for approximately 3.6 miles, picking up two unnamed branches from the east on the way, before it first meets with White Creek coming from the east, an unnamed branch from the west, then Turner Creek, also coming from the east, before it crosses U.S. Route 129 east of Turners Corner. Town Creek continues to the south for approximately 5.6 miles, joining with 2 more unnamed branches from the west and one from the east, before its confluence with Glade Branch and then Jenny Creek. The creek flows into Tesnatee Creek about 1.5 miles further south, southwest of Cleveland.[3]
