One source says that Coldwater Creek is also known as Rabbit Ears Creek, because it rises near Rabbit Ears, a pair of mountain peaks in Union County, New Mexico. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Coldwater Creek drains an area of 1,903 square miles (4,930 km2).

It continues generally northeasterly into Beaver County, Oklahoma, where it is joined by Camp Creek. The stream enters Harper County west of Laverne, Oklahoma, and continues to its joinder with the Beaver River north-northwest of Laverne.

Carrizozo Creek is a watercourse in the northeast corner of New Mexico, with a small portion extending into the northwestern Oklahoma Panhandle. The creek originates northwest of Clayton Lake State Park and northeast of Grenville, New Mexico about halfway to the Colorado border, being just north of Corrumpa Creek and just west of New Mexico State Road 370. It meanders generally east-northeast into Oklahoma, loops northwest heading back into New Mexico, and then turns generally east flowing into Oklahoma again. Where Carrizozo Creek and the Dry Cimarron River come together in Cimarron County, Oklahoma west of Kenton, the Cimarron River is formed.
Seneca Creek, also known as Cienequilla Creek, is a watercourse in New Mexico and Oklahoma. Running south of, and roughly parallel to, Corrumpa Creek, it originates south-southeast of Des Moines, New Mexico and east-northeast of Grenville, and travels generally east, eventually crossing into Oklahoma. Where it finally joins Corrumpa Creek about 4.5 miles northwest of Felt, Oklahoma, the combined stream becomes the Beaver River.
Spring Creek is a tributary of the Beaver River in Harper County, Oklahoma, south of Laverne. It is formed by the joinder of two other streams, known as the North Fork Spring Creek and the South Fork Spring Creek. Both the North Fork and the South Fork originate southwest of Laverne, just inside Beaver County. The North Fork heads northeasterly over the western Harper County line, whereas the South Fork heads east over the western border of Ellis County before taking a more north-northwesterly direction and crossing over the southern border of Harper County. The forks meet south-southwest of Laverne and just north of US-412/US-270. Spring Creek then travels generally northeast. Maps typically show the creek terminating southeast of Laverne short of reaching the Beaver, but the watershed extends all the way to the river.
Kiowa Creek is a stream in Comanche County, Kansas. Its watershed includes multiple other streams. West Kiowa Creek forms in northeast Clark County, Kansas and flows generally southeast, passing through the southwestern corner of Kiowa County, Kansas where it is joined by Turkey Creek and Little Turkey Creek. It continues into Comanche County, where it is joined by Middle Kiowa Creek, a southerly-flowing stream originating in Kiowa County to the north. The combined stream flows generally south, and becomes simply Kiowa Creek at some point. It is later joined by East Kiowa Creek, also a southerly-flowing stream originating in Kiowa County to the north, and one having its own tributary, Wiggins Creek. Kiowa Creek continues generally south, and travels along the eastern border of the town of Protection, Kansas, before becoming a tributary of Cavalry Creek to the southeast of Protection. Cavalry Creeks feeds into Bluff Creek, which eventually becomes a tributary of the Cimarron River before that watercourse enters Oklahoma.
