Palo Duro Creek is formed in Texas from the junction of North Palo Duro Creek and South Palo Duro Creek north of Morse, Texas.[1] The creek continues generally northeast until it becomes a tributary of the Beaver River in Oklahoma at a point east-northeast of Hardesty, Oklahoma, west of Balko, Oklahoma, and north of U.S. Route 412 near the Texas County/Beaver County line, downstream from the Optima Lake project.[2]
North Palo Duro Creek in turn originates at about the Dallam County/Hartley County line east of Dalhart and west of Cactus in Texas.[3] South Palo Duro Creek originates east of the Hartley County/Moore County line, west-northwest of Dumas, Texas.[4]
