Deadman Creek is the mainstream creek that becomes the Owens River where Big Springs enters the Deadman Creek channel, "two miles east of the [CalTrans] US395 Crestview maintenance station",[1] near Deadman Summit.[1] The Sierra Crest demarcates the creek's drainage from the drainage of the Middle Fork San Joaquin River on the west.[2]
