Brown Creek is a tributary of the Pee Dee River in south-central North Carolina and north-central South Carolina that drains Chesterfield County, South Carolina, Union County, North Carolina, and Anson County, North Carolina.[1]
Brown Creek rises near the town of the Pageland, South Carolina and flows northeast briefly into Union County and then through Anson County. The creek drains a large portion of the Wadesboro Triassic Basin.
