Kiowa Creek is a watercourse in Texas and Oklahoma that becomes a tributary of the Beaver River.[1] It originates southwest of Huntoon and east of Perryton[2] in northeastern Ochiltree County, Texas.[1] It travels generally east until southwest of Darrouzett[2] in Lipscomb County[1] then turns northeast and passes just south and east of that town.[2] It continues generally northeasterly into Beaver County, Oklahoma,[1][3] where it is joined by Camp Creek.[4] The stream enters Harper County west of Laverne, Oklahoma,[5] and continues to its joinder with the Beaver River north-northwest of Laverne.[5][6]
This stream should not be confused with the Kiowa Creek in Colorado that is a tributary of the South Platte River,[7] the Kiowa Creek in Kansas which eventually becomes a tributary of the Cimarron River,[8] nor the Kiowa Creek in Nebraska.[9]
