It received its name from a group of surveyors who lost their way while searching for possible routes for a road from Dallas to the Red River. The stream flows southeast for 18\u00bd miles, through a slightly rolling area surfaced with loamy and clay soils that support mesquite, grasses, and cacti. Brushy Creek is intermittent in its upper reaches. In areas where development has occurred, native vegetation has been replaced by cultivated row or cover crops. Brushy Creek passes within a mile of Josephine, TX and under the tracks of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway before emptying into the Caddo Fork of the Sabine River, four miles southwest of Silva in Hunt County. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/brushycreek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6908-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brushycreek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6908-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/brushycreek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6908-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brushycreek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6908-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brushycreek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6908-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/brushycreek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6908-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The name has always intrigued me.
