White Creek rises in southeastern White County, Georgia, north of Mossy Creek and west of Leaf, just north of State Route 115.[2] The creek runs generally south-southeast for approximately 4.7 miles, crosses State Route 254 just northeast of Mossy Creek, and then picks up Flat Creek east of Mossy Creek. Less than a mile further, White Creek forms Webster Lake, then winds south for another 2 miles, before flowing into the Chattahoochee River just northeast of Rogers Mill.[3]
