It rises from a pond north of Mechanicsville, in Buckingham Township and drains into the Delaware at Bull Island just upstream of Lumberville in Solebury Township. HistoryThe original inhabitants of the area of Paunnacussing Creek were the Lenape people. Later, it became a part of the Province of Pennsylvania in 1681. The first mention of the stream was on Cutler's resurvey in 1703. At one time there were several mills along the creek as evidenced by dams along the waterway, which were damaged or destroyed during the great flood of 3 August 1885, which caused severe damage in the village of Carversville, washed out local roads, and destroyed the aqueduct carrying the Delaware Canal over the creek. The cost of replacing the aqueduct was $10,000. [1] StatisticsThe Geographic Name Information System I.D. is 1183392,[2]U.S. Department of the Interior Geological Survey I.D. is 03093. The creek's watershed is {{convert|7.87|sqmi|km2}}, and it meets its confluence with the Delaware river's 155.60 river mile at an elevation of {{convert|72|ft|m}}.[3] CoursePaunnacussing Creek rises from a pond north of Mechanicsville at an elevation of {{convert|390|ft|m}} and starts out northwest oriented, then northeast, turns northwest, and back to northeast. At Carversville, it picks up two unnamed tributaries, one from the right bank, then one from the left. Then is northeast oriented until it passes under the Delaware Canal aqueduct and meets with the Delaware River just upstream of Lumberville across from Bull's Island at an elevation of {{convert|72|ft|m}}, resulting in an average slope of {{convert|59|ft/mi|m/km}}. GeologyPaunnacussing Creek lies in the Stockton Formation of bedrock consisting of arkosic sandstone, buff to light-gray, and red to purple-red sandstone, shale, siltstone, and mudstone laid down during the Triassic.
