Once a spring-fed tributary of the Colorado River; heads and ends within Scurry County.

In 1870s it supplied buffalo hunters living in hide-covered half dugouts. "Pete" Snyder's trading post, which eventually grew into the county-seat town of Snyder, was located on bank.

Although state surveyors had officially named it Culvers Creek, famous buffalo hunters John and J. Wright Mooar called it Deep Creek in 1876, and soon the name became widely used.

Played central role in early town life as a scene of picnics, horse races, and baptisms.
