The creek is primarily fed by springs and runoff from the Ozark Mountains, with occasional contributions from tributaries such as Wharton Creek and Flint Creek. The flow exhibits a seasonal trend, with summer months typically having lower flow due to less precipitation and higher evapotranspiration. There are no major dams on the creek, but small mill dams have been historically used for agriculture and industry. Interestingly, the creek's name comes from an old legend of a Native American chief who had a pet eagle that would fly alongside him into battle.
