Thurston Hollow (also known as Thurston Hollow Creek) is a tributary of Moneypenny Creek in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 1.4 miles (2.3 km) long and flows through Eaton Township.
Course
Thurston Hollow begins on the slopes of a ridge in Eaton Township. It flows north-northeast for several tenths of a mile, passing through a pond, receiving an unnamed tributary from the left, and enters a valley. The stream then turns nearly due north for several tenths of a mile and passes through another pond before turning east-northeast. Several hundred feet further downstream, it reaches its confluence with Moneypenny Creek.
Thurston Hollow joins Moneypenny Creek 0.95 miles (1.53 km) upstream of its mouth.
Hydrology
Thurston Hollow is not designated as an impaired waterbody.
Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Thurston Hollow is 869 feet (265 m) above sea level. The elevation of the stream's source is between 1,180 and 1,200 feet (360 and 366 m) above sea level.
Watershed
The watershed of Thurston Hollow has an area of 1.62 square miles (4.2 km). The stream is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Center Moreland. Its designated use is for aquatic life.
UGI Energy Services, Inc. once applied for a permit to construct, operate, and maintain the Auburn Line Extension Project, a pipeline with a length of 27.4 miles (44.1 km). Such a project would some stream reaches along at least one unnamed tributary to Thurston Hollow.
History
