Aline Creek is a tributary of North Branch Mahantango Creek in Snyder County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately {{convert|2.3|mi|km}} long and flows through Perry Township.[1] The watershed of the creek has an area of {{convert|1.61|sqmi|km2}}. The creek has no named tributaries, but does have one unnamed tributary. A reach of Aline Creek is designated as an impaired waterbody due to siltation/sedimentation from agriculture and removal of vegetation. The creek's drainage basin is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.

Course

Aline Creek begins on a hill in Perry Township. It flows east-southeast for several tenths of a mile and enters a valley. It then turns northeast for several tenths of a mile before receiving an unnamed tributary from the left and soon afterwards turning east-northeast. After several tenths of a mile, the creek reaches the end of its valley and turns east. A short distance further downstream, it reaches its confluence with North Branch Mahantango Creek.[1]

Aline Creek joins North Branch Mahantango Creek {{convert|2.92|mi|km}} upstream of its mouth.[2]

Tributaries

Aline Creek has no named tributaries. However, it has one unnamed tributary, which is approximately {{convert|0.6|mi|km}} long and flows roughly east-southeast.[1]

Hydrology, geography and geology

The elevation near the mouth of Aline Creek is {{convert|463|ft|m}} above sea level.[3] The elevation of the creek's source is {{convert|734|ft|m}} above sea level.[1]

A reach of Aline Creek is designated as an impaired waterbody. The cause of the impairment is sedimentation/siltation and the likely sources of impairment are agriculture and removal of vegetation.[4] Only a portion of the main stem is impaired; {{convert|1.25|mi|km}} of Aline Creek and {{convert|0.65|mi|km}} of its unnamed tributary attain their designated use.[5]

Watershed and biology

The watershed of Aline Creek has an area of {{convert|1.61|sqmi|km2}}.[2] The mouth of the creek is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Dalmatia. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Richfield.[3] Its mouth is located within {{convert|1|mi|km}} of Troutwell.[2]

The drainage basin of Aline Creek is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.[6] The designated use of the creek is aquatic life.[4]

History

Aline Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1168153.[3]

A bridge carrying State Route 3016 over Aline Creek has been proposed for replacement.[7]
