It flows north from the slopes of Burnt Timber Mountain to join the larger stream at an elevation of just 7ft above sea level.Southworth Creek was named for Lewis Southworth, a former slave who settled there in the 1880s. It was originally called Darkey Creek until the Oregon Geographic Names Board was asked to officially change the name.
