Hickory Creek (Delaware River tributary)

Hickory Creek is a tributary of the Delaware River in Plumstead Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.

It was once regarded as the border between the villages of Point Pleasant and Lower Black Eddy.

[2] Hickory Creek is located entirely within Plumstead Township, Pennsylvania.

[3][4] Hickory rises near Tollgate Road, southeast of Ferry Road and flows northeast 1.17 miles (1.88 km) to the Delaware River.

Hickory Creek lies in a sliver of diabase rock which intruded into the Lockatong Formation of the Piedmont Lowland during the Jurassic and the Triassic, occurring as a sill of dense, dark gray to black and very fine grained, 90-95% labradorite and augite.
