Thousand Springs Creek

Thousand Springs Creek is a stream in the U.S. states of Nevada and Utah.[1] It is a tributary to Grouse Creek.[1]

The stream headwaters arise in northeast Nevada on the east slope of the Snake Mountains, and it flows east through the Dake Reservoir into northwest Utah to Grouse Creek 3.2 km (2.0 mi) northwest of Lucin.[1]

Thousand Springs Creek was named for the fact it is fed by many springs along its course.[2]
