Deep Creek (Trinity River tributary)

Deep Creek is a stream in Wise County, Texas.

Description The creek rises to the southeast of Decatur, close to U.S. Route 287. The creek flows south for five miles before meeting the Trinity River between Boyd and Aurora.

History Sam Woody, an early settler, built a wooden house on the bank of the stream in 1854, establishing the first home in Wise County. A small community named Deep Creek soon formed, however a cemetery is the only remaining feature.
