Castor Creek

:"See also Castor River"

Castor Creek is a tributary of the Little River, about 65 mi (105 km) long, in north-central Louisiana in the United States. [ [http://www.bartleby.com/69/59/C03359.html Columbia Gazetteer of North America entry] ] Via the Little, Ouachita and Red Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.

Castor Creek rises in northern Jackson Parish, and initially flows southeastwardly into Caldwell Parish, where it turns southwardly, flowing into La Salle Parish and along its boundary with Winn Parish. It passes the town of Tullos and joins the Dugdemona River to form the Little River, about 3 mi (5 km) northeast of Georgetown. [DeLorme (2003). "Louisiana Atlas & Gazetteer".
