Crab Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Washington. Named for the presence of crayfish, it is one of the few perennial streams in the Columbia Basin of central Washington, flowing from the northeastern Columbia River Plateau, roughly 5 km (3.1 mi) east of Reardan, west-southwest to empty into the Columbia River near the small town of Beverly. Its course exhibits many examples of the erosive powers of extremely large glacial Missoula Floods of the late Pleistocene, which scoured the region. In addition, Crab Creek and its region have been transformed by the large-scale irrigation of the Bureau of Reclamation's Columbia Basin Project (CBP), which has raised water table levels, significantly extending the length of Crab Creek and created new lakes and streams.

  • Der Crab Creek ist ein Bach in den Countys Grant, Adams und Lincoln im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Nach dem Vorkommen von Krebsen benannt, ist er einer der wenigen permanent wasserführenden Bäche im Columbia-River-Einzugsgebiet im zentralen Washington. Er fließt vom nordöstlichen Columbia River Plateau etwa 8 km östlich von Reardan in west-südwestlicher Richtung bis zur Mündung in den Columbia River nahe der Kleinstadt Beverly. Sein Lauf bringt viele Beispiele für die erosiven Kräfte der gewaltigen glazialen Missoula-Fluten im späten Pleistozän zutage, welche die Region überschwemmten. Außerdem wurden der Crab Creek und seine Umgebung von der großflächigen Beregnung des Columbia Basin Project (CBP) des United States Bureau of Reclamation überformt, welches die Grundwasserspiegel anhob, die (de)
  • La Crab Creek est un cours d'eau de 262 kilomètres de long dans l'État de Washington aux États-Unis. Il est l'un des rares ruisseaux pérennes dans le bassin du Columbia du centre de Washington, qui s'écoule du nord-est du plateau du Columbia, à environ 5 kilomètres à l'est de Reardan, avant de se jeter dans le fleuve Columbia. Son cours permet d'observer de nombreux exemples de l'érosion des inondations de Missoula à la fin du Pléistocène. * Portail des lacs et cours d'eau * Portail de l’État de Washington (fr)
