Kiowa Creek is a stream in Comanche County, Kansas. [1] Its watershed includes multiple other streams. West Kiowa Creek forms in northeast Clark County, Kansas, and flows generally southeast, [2] [3] passing through the southwestern corner of Kiowa County, Kansas, where it is joined by Turkey Creek and Little Turkey Creek. [4] [5] It continues into Comanche County, [6] where it is joined by Middle Kiowa Creek, [7] a southerly-flowing stream originating in Kiowa County to the north. [4] [8] The combined stream flows generally south, [6] and becomes simply Kiowa Creek at some point. [1] [9] It is later joined by East Kiowa Creek, [10] also a southerly-flowing stream originating in Kiowa County to the north, [4] [11] and one having its own tributary, Wiggins Creek. [12] Kiowa Creek continues generally south, and travels along the eastern border of the town of Protection, Kansas, [13] before becoming a tributary of Cavalry Creek to the southeast of Protection. [14] Cavalry Creeks feeds into Bluff Creek, [15] which eventually becomes a tributary of the Cimarron River before that watercourse enters Oklahoma. [16] [17]

This stream should not be confused with the Kiowa Creek in Oklahoma and Texas, [18] nor the Kiowa Creek in Colorado, [19] nor the Kiowa Creek in Nebraska, [20] nor with similarly named creeks elsewhere.
