The creek begins at an unnamed lake in geographic Boulter Township [2] and flows southeast to Guilmette Lake, then turns west to Sobie Lake. The river heads northwest into the municipality of Chisholm, continues northwest into the municipality of East Ferris, and reaches its mouth at Lake Nosbonsing. Lake Nosbonsing flows via the Kaibuskong River, the Mattawa River and the Ottawa River to the Saint Lawrence River.
The river was originally called Nosbonsing River, but renamed to Depot Creek when the J.R. Booth Company established a logging depot there. It was used to float logs down to Lake Nosbonsing, and the company diverted the waters from the Wasi River for a while to boost its flow. [3]
