It is approximately {{convert|2.0|mi|km}} long and flows through Dickson City.[1] The watershed of the creek has an area of {{convert|0.880|sqmi|km2}}. Part of the watershed is on coal measures. The creek was historically affected by streams of surface water and sewage. A number of wetlands are in the creek's vicinity. CoursePancoast Creek begins on Bell Mountain in Dickson City. It flows nearly due south for about a mile and receives an unnamed tributary from the left before turning south-southwest. The creek then turns southeast for several tenths of a mile before reaching its confluence with Price Creek.[1] HydrologyIn the early 1900s, Pancoast Creek was clear of culm from its source downstream to its mouth unlike Price Creek, into which it flows. However, Pancoast Creek was discolored by streams of surface water and sewage.[2] The borough of Dickson City once applied for a permit to discharge stormwater into the creek.[4] A mid-20th-century report estimated that the rate of surface water seepage into mine workings at Pancoast Creek was 6.24 gallons per minute per inch of rain. The estimated rate of streambed seepage into mine workings was 3.49 gallons per minute per inch of rain.[5] Geography and geologyThe elevation near the mouth of Pancoast Creek is {{convert|751|ft|m}} above sea level.[3] The elevation of the creek's source is between {{convert|1580|and|1600|ft|m}} above sea level.[1] A mid-20th-century report found that a total of {{convert|0.563|sqmi|km2}} of the watershed of Pancoast Creek was on coal measures. The report found that approximately {{convert|10600|ft|m}} of the creek's length were on coal measures.[5] There are several wetland patches near Pancoast Creek. A 100 year floodplain is also present near the creek's middle reaches. The creek crosses a number of streets and roads, including a spur of U.S. Route 6.[4] WatershedThe watershed of Pancoast Creek has an area of {{convert|0.880|sqmi|km2}}.[5] The mouth of Pancoast Creek is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Olyphant. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Scranton.[3] Pancoast Creek is designated as a Coldwater Fishery.[6] HistoryPancoast Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on January 1, 1990. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1202414. The creek was added because of its presence in Patton's Philadelphia and Suburbs Street and Road Map, which was published in 1984.[3] The creek is also known as "Trib 28544 Of Lackawanna River".[4] See also
