The College Branch headwaters are where we will begin. This creek involves 2 spring-fed sources: A) on the University campus to the NW of the Poultry Science Center and S of Reed Hall, and B) on Markham Hill. (BUTTON 1)

College Branch flows under Reynolds Stadium, practice field, HPER Center, Randal Tyson Track Center, Bud Walton Arena (BUTTON 2), before daylighting at Carlson Terrace (BUTTON 3). From there it flows in a SE direction beside the women’s soccer field, under 6 th St (BUTTON 4), through the RR tunnel, and through the Town Branch Neighborhood before confluencing with Town Branch.

Town Branch then flows E through the UA technology complex, under 71B, until confluencing with the West Fork of the White River just below the dam at the old Fayetteville Pump Station.

The West Fork of the White River flows NE to Lake Sequoia and confluences with the Main Stem of the White River and the Middle Fork of the White River just below the spillway.

They then flow N together as the White River for 13 miles before hitting Beaver Lake.
