After several tenths of a mile, it receives East Branch Field Brook, its only named tributary, from the left, and turns south-southeast.

The stream then turns southeast and then east, after a short distance reaching its confluence with Tunkhannock Creek.

[4] In the stream's middle reaches, the surficial geology alongside it consists mostly of alluvium, while the rest of the valley is mostly Wisconsinan Till.

It is considered to pose a threat to public safety, so there has been a proposal to remove the dam, causing 900 feet (270 m) of stream to flow freely again.

[3] This variant name appears in Israel C. White's 1883 book The geology of the North Branch Susquehanna River Region in the six counties of Wyoming, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Columbia, Montour and Northumberland.

[7] A concrete tee beam bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 92 over Field Brook was built in 1927 in Nicholson Township, Wyoming County and is 34.1 feet (10.4 m) long.

A steel stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge carrying State Route 1015 over the stream was built in 1941 in Nicholson Township, Wyoming County and is 34.1 feet (10.4 m) long.
