Nelson Creek/Cline's Prairie
Nelson Creek, a spring-fed perennial stream, rises seven miles northwest
of Huntsville in western Walker County (at 30°46' N, 95°43' W) and
flows northeast for twenty-six miles to its mouth on the Trinity River
(at 30°55' N, 95°31' W). It traverses gently sloping to nearly level
terrain, surfaced by sandy loam that supports along the creek banks
woods of loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, sweetgum, blackgum, water oak,
willow oak, post oak, elm, pecan, and black hickory. Anglo-American
settlement in the vicinity began in the mid-1830s. The Cline's Prairie
community was established on the east bank of the middle creek in the
late 1800s. TSHA
