Mauses Creek experiences siltation, organic enrichment, and low levels of dissolved oxygen. It is also contaminated by some organic compounds. The creek is crossed by six bridges. In his book ''Trout Unlimited's Guide to Pennsylvania Limestone Streams'', A. Joseph Armstrong describes Mauses Creek as "very similar to the upper portions of Kase and Sechler runs". It is inhabited by trout and chubs, as well as several other fish species. ==Course== Mauses Creek begins in Liberty Township, near Mooresburg. It flows south for some distance before turning northeast, running parallel to railroad tracks for some distance before crossing Pennsylvania Route 642 and making an abrupt turn east. A short distance later, the creek exits Liberty Township. Upon leaving Liberty Township, the creek enters Valley Township. It continues east for a few miles, flowing parallel to Pennsylvania Route 642. The creek then turns northeast, away from the state route and it picks up the tributary Indian Creek after a short distance. It then turns southeast, flowing parallel to Pennsylvania Route 54. After some distance it crosses Pennsylvania Route 642 and passes the community of Mausdale. The creek reaches its confluence with Mahoning Creek in the southern edge of Valley Township. Mauses Creek joins Mahoning Creek upstream of its mouth. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mauses Creek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
