Deep Red Creek

The Lake Frederick watershed is located in the northern portion of Tillman County and is approximately 35,907 acres.[4] The primary tributary and major outflow from the lake is Deep Red Creek.[4] That stream originates just east inside the Comanche County, Oklahoma line south of State Highway 49 and east of State Highway 54, before traveling generally southwest into Kiowa County and eventually Tillman County, joining Lake Frederick from the north.[7][8][9] Below the lake, the creek travels generally south-southeast before terminating east-southeast of Manitou, Oklahoma, without being a tributary of another creek or river.[10]
