Monongalia County, West Virginia near the towns of Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, and
Blacksville, West Virginia. It flows into the
Monongahela River near Dunkard, Pennsylvania, approximately three miles north of the Pennsylvania-West Virginia border.
Mason-Dixon Historical Park is located on the banks of Dunkard Creek in an area where the creek crosses the border three times in less than one mile. The park grounds include Brown's Hill, the westernmost site from which

The creek is named for members of the Dunkard sect, a pacifist, nonconformist group of Christians who settled in the region during the 1700s.
