9 mentions across 8 events
Walnut Creek is a stream in Austin, Travis County, Texas, that rises in the northwestern part of the city and flows southeast through business and residential areas to its mouth on the Colorado River. Its upper reaches cross limestone terrain of the Edwards Plateau, while its lower course passes through the deeper clay soils and hardwood bottomlands of the Blackland Prairie on Austin's east side. The creek and its tributaries form one of Austin's larger urban watersheds, and the corridor appears in city proceedings involving drainage and floodplain matters, land use, and public infrastructure.
