South Run (also known as South Run Creek) is a tributary of Bowman Creek in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long and flows through Monroe Township.^[1] The watershed of the stream has an area of 3.42 square miles (8.9 km²). It is not designated as an impaired waterbody. The surficial geology in the vicinity of the stream consists of alluvium, alluvial terrace, and Wisconsinan Till. Its watershed is designated as a High-Quality Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.

Course

South Run begins in a broad valley near Hickory Knob in Monroe Township. It flows in a northerly direction for several tenths of a mile before turning northwest as its valley narrows. After several tenths of a mile, the stream turns north for several tenths of a mile before turning northwest and then north again. It then reaches its confluence with Bowman Creek.^[1]

South Run joins Bowman Creek 11.68 miles (18.80 km) upstream of its mouth.^[2]

Hydrology

South Run is not designated as an impaired waterbody.^[3]

Geography and geology

The elevation near the mouth of South Run is 899 feet (274 m) above sea level.^[4] The elevation of the stream's source is between 1,180 and 1,200 feet (360 and 366 m) above sea level.^[1]

The surficial geology of the land adjacent to South Run mainly consists of alluvium. However, large areas of a till known as Wisconsinan Till also occur in the stream's watershed. A patch of alluvial terrace occurs near its mouth.^[5]

There is a spring in the watershed of South Run. The spring's source is "somewhat diffuse" and it is located at the headwaters of a rill that flows into South Run.^[6]

Watershed

The watershed of South Run has an area of 3.42 square miles (8.9 km²).^[2] The stream is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Noxen.^[4]

Some farmstead land infringes upon the 100-year floodplain of South Run in Monroe Township.^[7]

History

South Run was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1199570.^[4] The stream is also known as South Run Creek.^[8]

A concrete tee beam bridge carrying State Route 2001 was constructed over South Run in 1941 in Monroe Township and is 29.9 feet (9.1 m) long. A steel stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge carrying the same road over the stream in Monroe Township was built in that year and is 26.9 feet (8.2 m) long. In 1954, a third bridge carrying State Route 2001 was built Monroe Township. This bridge is a concrete slab bridge with a length of 24.0 feet (7.3 m).^[8] One bridge over the creek is eligible for replacement, as of 2014.^[9]

Biology

The watershed of South Run is designated as a High-Quality Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.^[10] Wild trout naturally reproduce in the stream from its headwaters downstream to its mouth.^[11]
