Geography

According to some sources, Clear Boggy Creek joins with Muddy Boggy Creek to form the Boggy River.[4] Federal topographic maps and the Geographic Names Information System show Clear Boggy Creek as a tributary to Muddy Boggy Creek, which retains its name below the confluence.[2]

Its gradient is about 15 feet per mile near its headwaters and 3 feet per mile near Boggy Depot and below.[4]

Water in Clear Boggy Creek is more mineralized than in Muddy Boggy Creek.[4]

History
