It is approximately {{convert|4.7|mi|km}} long and flows through Brooklyn Township and Lathrop Township.[1] The watershed of the creek has an area of {{convert|3.32|sqmi|km2}}. The creek is not designated as an impaired waterbody and is a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. The surficial geology in its vicinity consists of Wisconsinan Till, a lake, and some alluvium in the lower reaches. CourseDry Creek begins in an unnamed pond in Brooklyn Township. It flows south for several tenths of a mile and enters Jones Lake, where it receives two unnamed tributaries from the right. From the southern end of Jones Lake, the creek flows south-southeast for a few miles, receiving two unnamed tributaries from the left and two from the right and entering a valley. It then turns south and its valley narrows. After several tenths of a mile, the creek turns south-southwest for a few tenths of a mile, entering Lathrop Township. Shortly after entering Lathrop Township, the creek reaches its confluence with Martins Creek.[1] Dry Creek joins Martins Creek {{convert|7.73|mi|km}} upstream of its mouth.[2] HydrologyDry Creek is not designated as an impaired waterbody.[3] The creek only seasonally flows into Martins Creek.[4] Geography and geologyThe elevation near the mouth of Dry Creek is {{convert|876|ft|m}} above sea level.[5] The elevation of the creek's source is between {{convert|1540|and|1560|ft|m}} above sea level.[1] The surficial geology in the valley of Dry Creek consists mostly of a till known as Wisconsinan Till, although large patches of alluvium also occur. Additionally, there is a small patch of peat bog.[6] In the upper reaches, the surficial geology alongside the creek consists entirely of Wisconsinan Till, except for Jones Lake.[7] Watershed and biologyThe watershed of Dry Creek has an area of {{convert|3.32|sqmi|km2}}.[2] The mouth of the creek is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Hop Bottom. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Montrose East.[5] The mouth of the creek is located within {{convert|1|mi|km}} of Hop Bottom.[2] The designated use for Dry Creek is aquatic life.[3] Williams Field Services Company, LLC has received an Erosion and Sediment Control permit for which the receiving streams are the creek and its unnamed tributaries.[8] Dry Creek is classified as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.[8] HistoryDry Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1173498.[5] See also
