Rivers and Streams - Chickasaw National Recreation Area (U.S. National Park Service) Travertine Creek is the focus of the Platt Historic District from its source to its juncture with Rock Creek near the Lincoln Bridge. Since its only source of water is the springs, periods of prolonged drought which dry the springs also result in a diminished stream flow. Such dry periods are infrequent and temporary, and most of the time the creek is the focal point of the the Platt Historic District, providing many locations for swimming, wading, or picnicking. This is the largest of the streams entering the park, with a total drainage area of 170 square miles. Because of its size and permanence, this stream provides excellent habitat for fish and other aquatic species.
